The social process of internet appropriation: Living in a digitally advanced country benefits less well-educated Europeans

We generalize and extend the sequential model proposed by the resources and appropriation theory to explain the digital divide in the European Union plus the United Kingdom (EU27+UK). We measure the theoretical constructs of the model with data provided by the EU and test the theoretical predictions using a partial least squares structural equation model. We find support for the hypothesized relationships but find that the effects vary depending on the digital development level of countries. While education overall is the primary determinant of the social production of digital inequalities, a country's digital development level is crucial for less well-educated Europeans. These findings have theoretical and practical implications: (1) they call into question the homogeneity of the effect of causal relationships and the assumption that individuals differ only in terms of motivation, access, and digital skills, and (2) they indicate that socially disadvantaged Europeans benefit from living in more digitally developed countries.     

Public finance and the optimal speed of transition*

We develop a general equilibrium model that jointly considers the influence of capital accumulation constraints and of labour market frictions on the process of transition. We endogenize the economic and budgetary costs of different government policies and show that, early in transition, governments ought to subsidize state firms. Provided that intertemporal commitment is feasible, this policy limits the initial output fall, which relaxes capital accumulation constraints, accelerates transition, and increases welfare. Moreover, by resorting to indirect – instead of direct – taxes, governments can bring the path of transition closer to the first best. Yet, political pressures may induce a policy of suboptimal subsidization.     

钢板桩围堰在水位变动区和软弱地基中的应用

利用钢板桩作围堰,在水位变动区和软弱地基条件下,采取一定刚度的围护设施来满足深基坑的施工需要;成功地运用了一种既施工简便、节约材料又确保安全的围护结构。根据软土的特点和钢板桩的柔性特征,通过采用模拟基坑开挖过程,按照板桩墙围护结构的设计计算方法进行围堰设计,并通过实际施工中一定的控制措施和对围堰内力、变形监测,确保相邻建筑物和自身结构施工的安全。根据实际运用的效果监测表明,采用的钢板桩围堰,是可行而又较优的一种方案。

Regulatory and environmental effects on public transit efficiency: a mixed DEA-SFA approach

This paper assesses the impact of regulatory and environmental factors and statistical noise on the efficiency of public transit systems within a DEA-based framework. Using a panel of Italian companies, we implement a DEA-SFA mixed approach based on [H.O. Fried et al. (2002) Journal of Productivity Analysis, 17(1–2), 157–174] to decompose DEA inefficiency measures into three components: exogenous effects, managerial inefficiency and stochastic events. Besides providing evidence on the determinants of input-specific efficiency differentials across companies, the results point out that managerial skills play a minor role, and emphasize the relevance of regulatory policies aimed at replacing cost-plus subsidization with high-powered incentive contracts as well as improving environmental conditions of public transit networks.

关于宏观调控若干问题的思考

宏观调控是一个中性概念。宏观调控本身就包含了限制与发展、紧缩与扩张、后退与前进几方面的内容。1992年正式提出向建立社会主义市场经济体制过渡以后，市场经济意义的宏观调控逐步走上历史舞台。从1993年到2003年，中国经济经过了紧缩性和扩张性两轮正相反的宏观调控。目前，中国经济进入新一轮的上升周期。此轮宏观调控转向“中性”政策。所谓“中性”政策，是相对于扩张性政策和紧缩性政策而言的，是一种有保有压、有紧有松、上下微调、松紧适度的政策。“软着陆”的经济含义是，国民经济的运行经过一段过度扩张以后，平稳地回落到适度增长区间。目前，中国的经济增长率和物价上涨率都在正常区间，所以整体上不存在所谓“软着陆”问题。     

我国软预算约束的治理:理论与政策

软预算约束对我国经济的危害甚大,探讨我国预算软约束的治理意义重大.本文认为,应当从下述四个方面来治理我国经济中普遍存在的软预算约束问题:(1)推进国有银企的市场化改革,消除政府干预;(2)建立分散化的银行体系,加强对银行体系的有效监控;(3)实行财政分权,加强地区经济之间的竞争;(4)规范政府经济行为,严格财政金融纪律.
