中国古代的域外游记及其价值

中国古代的域外游记主要有佛教徒的求法记、使者的出使记、官员及其他人士的随征记、航海记等。现存者虽为数不多，但因保存了稀见地理风土资料、宗教资料和航海资料而具有极高的史料价值。     

从敦煌本《百行章》看唐初的法制思想

唐代的法制思想，主要有两大特征，即仁刑恤典和厉行法制。对此，学者们多从正史的角度加以探讨和分析。而从敦煌所出唐代蒙书《百行章》所述内容同样清楚地显示了唐初的法制思想的以上特点。这一研究可以起到补充正史的作用。     

Tolerance for uncertainty and the growth of informationally opaque industries

Hofstede's [Hofstede, Geert H. 1980. Culture's consequences: international differences in work-related values. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.] cross-country psychological survey of IBM employees finds that some countries (societies) are systematically less tolerant of uncertainty, while uncertainty-tolerance is shown by some theoretic models to be essential to the growth of emerging sectors about which less is known. This paper first uses Durnev, Morck, and Yeung's [Durnev, Art, Morck, Randall, and Yeung, Bernard. 2004. Value-enhancing capital budgeting and firm-specific stock return variation. The Journal of Finance. 59(1): 65–105.] methodology to identify these informationally opaque industries. The hypothesis is then made that countries characterized by high uncertainty aversion (measured by Hofstede's indicator, and two other alternative indicators) will grow disproportionately slower in industrial sectors where information is less available. Using the Rajan and Zingales [Rajan, Raghuram G. and Zingales, Luigi. 1998. Financial Dependence and Growth. American Economic Review. Vol. 88(3): 559–586.] “difference-in-differences” methodology, which is relatively free from the endogeneity problem, the study provides robust evidence of such an industrial growth pattern in 34 countries and 36 manufacturing industries. It also shows that national uncertainty aversion is not driven by underdevelopment of financial sector, inadaptability of civil law systems, lower level of economic or human capital development, labor market inflexibility, or any of many other institutional factors. The results remain robust when religious (Catholic vs. Protestant) composition is used as an instrumental variable for national uncertainty aversion. The international evidence presented helps explain why some countries are slower in embracing “new” (vs. traditional) industries.     

干预行为——经济法中的“法律行为”

在我国法学界,"法律行为"有两种不同含义,一是民法上的含义,意指意思效果行为。这也是法律行为的原初含义。另一是法理学上的含义,意指具有法律效果的行为。经济法的法律行为应采何意?从相关的论述看,多是在法理学意义上使用的。笔者之见,法律行为应回归其原初含义,而最能反映经济法特征的法律行为就是"干预行为",即公共经济组织的"公意"表示及执行行为,包括宏观调控和市场规制行为。     

The effect of interfirm dependence structures on governance mechanisms

Despite recent developments regarding the study of interdependence structures, previous research has rarely investigated the simultaneous effect of both interdependence magnitude and interdependence asymmetry on governance mechanisms among exchange parties. A survey of manufacturing companies has been used to test a theory about the interactive effect of buyer dependence and supplier dependence on inter-firm governance. The analysis of the survey supported the proposition that both buyers and suppliers that are highly dependent on each other (high interdependence magnitude and low interdependence asymmetry) may choose to rely on monitoring and the norm of information sharing. However, when a buyer's dependence is low regardless of the supplier's dependence level, the buyer does not rely on the norm of information sharing (buyer's relative interdependence advantage, buyer's relative interdependence disadvantage, and low interdependence magnitude). On the other hand, when the supplier's dependence on the buyer is low, the buyer relies on monitoring regardless of its dependence level (buyer's relative interdependence disadvantage and low interdependence magnitude). However, this study did not empirically measure performance. Further research should be done on the effect of congruence between the governance mechanism and its antecedents on buying performance.     

中国遭受反倾销的现状分析及法律对策

中国加入世界贸易组织后，外国对我国出口产品的反倾销指控越演越烈，已经成为我国对外贸易发展的实质性障碍。其原因是多方面的，既有我国产业结构自身的原因，也有法规建设滞后、企业应诉消极等原因。我国应对国外反倾销指控的法律对策是应该在WTO法律框架下尽快完善《反倾销条例》和相关的部门法，健全反倾销应诉机制。     

GATS中的电子商务法律规则研究

WTO的许多协议中都包含有直接或间接规范电子商务的法律规则 ,电子商务已成为WTO新一轮多边贸易谈判的重要议题 ,因而几乎所有成员都在研究WTO框架下电子商务的相关规则为其所用。     

试论注册会计师的法律责任边界与风险分担机制

独立审计契约的社会化和不确定性,导致了审计风险的无限扩大。这不仅会影响独立审计职能的充分发挥,也会影响注册会计师事业的发展。明确界定独立审计的责任边界,建立独立审计风险分担机制,对于防范和化解审计风险、促进注册会计师行业的健康发展,是至关重要的。注册会计师承担法律责任的构成要件有:注册会计师有加害行为;注册会计师对委托人或利害关系人造成了损害;注册会计师的加害行为与委托人或利害关系人受到的损害之间存在因果关系;注册会计师主观上存在过错。注册会计师的风险分担机制应包括:受害人过错的责任分担、第三人过错的责任分担、会计师事务所职业风险基金和执业责任保险、注册会计师赔偿基金、注册会计师协会共同赔偿基金、国家赔偿基金等。     

反差与引证:控辩法律文书的个案解读

在刑事诉讼中,起诉书与辩护词是控辩双方主要的法律文书。对非对应的两者作比较研究,这种反差能使我们从独特的视角反观我国刑事诉讼程序设计的不足。而个案的引证与解析,不仅是一种切入的方法使然,更是一种鲜活文本的实证。     

论LLSV法律来源论的缺陷性

拉普特等人用数据来表明,法律来源于普通法系国家比法律来源于大陆法系国家特别是法国大陆法系国家能更好地保护投资者,而德国大陆法系国家和斯堪的纳维亚国家则介于这二者之间。公司所有权的集中程度在他们的研究中被认为是对投资者保护差的一种适应性反映。在本文,我们用中国和其他国家的证据来说明政治经济因素比法律来源论能更好地解释在中国的转型经济中对小股东保护差的原因。我们认为中国上市公司所有权非常集中的原因是政府决策的直接结果,也认为政府控制绝大部分上市公司在某种程度上减弱了对小股东的保护。
