Impact of state-dependent oil price on US stock returns using local projections

In this paper, we investigate the impact of oil prices on both aggregate and industry US real stock returns over the period 1973–2017. The empirical analysis contributes to the related literature introducing a state-dependent oil price (high and low) and the local projections approach. Our main finding is that, depending on the nature of the shock and industry, the negative effects of oil price shocks become exacerbated -and the positive effects get moderated- if oil prices are already high.

Mining and Social Movements: Struggles Over Livelihood and Rural Territorial Development in the Andes

Social movements have been viewed as vehicles through which the concerns of poor and marginalized groups are given greater visibility within civil society, lauded for being the means to achieve local empowerment and citizen activism, and seen as essential in holding the state to account and constituting a grassroots mechanism for promoting democracy. However, within development studies little attention has been paid to understanding how social movements can affect trajectories of development and rural livelihood in given spaces, and how these effects are related to movements’ internal dynamics and their interaction with the broader environment within which they operate. This paper addresses this theme for the case of social movements protesting contemporary forms of mining investment in Latin America. On the basis of cases from Peru and Ecuador, the paper argues that the presence and nature of social movements has significant influences both on forms taken by extractive industries (in this case mining) and on the effects of this extraction on rural livelihoods. In this sense, one can usefully talk about rural development as being co-produced by movements, mining companies, and other actors, in particular the state. The terms of this co-production, however, vary greatly among different locations, reflecting the distinct geographies of social mobilization and of mineral investment, as well as the varying power relationships among the different actors involved.     

完善行业协会迎接WTO的挑战

中国加入WTO后，政府经济管理职能应加快转变，行业管理职能应逐步移交行业协会。石油、石化行业应尽快在企业自愿的基础上完善行业协会，使其在国家政策法规的框架下，对全行业油气资源、市场准入、价格调控、服务标准、信息交流、安全、质量、环保等进行统一协调和服务，逐步培育和规范国内石油、石化市场。行业协会通过与国外同行业民间组织建立联系，了解国外同行业的技术经济动态，为企业提高竞争力服务，同时也为国家宏观调控提供决策依据。行业协会要协调好同业竞争与合作的关系，尽快建立和完善畅通的行业信息网络；随着外部环境的日益宽松，企业更应继续强化管理、搞好经营，主动学习和利用世贸组织游戏规则，提升自身实力。石油、石化行业协会的完善离不开国家政策的支持和比较规范的市场环境。
