Environmental Policy,Sustainable Development,Governance Mechanisms and Environmental Performance

We investigate the effects of environmental policy (Climate Change Act – CCA), sustainable development frameworks (Global Reporting Initiative – GRI; UN Global Compact – UNGC) and corporate governance (CG) mechanisms on environmental performance (carbon reduction initiatives – CRIs; actual carbon performance – GHG emissions) of UK listed firms. We use the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation technique to analyse data consisting of 2245 UK firm‐year observations over the 2002–2014 period. First, we find that the CCA has a positive effect on CRIs, and this effect is stronger in better‐governed firms. Second, we find that the GRI‐based framework is positively associated with CRIs. Third, we find that firms with poor CG structures have lower actual carbon performance compared with their better‐governed counterparts. Overall, our evidence suggests that firms can symbolically conform to environmental policy (CCA) and sustainable development frameworks (GRI, UNGC) by engaging in CRIs without necessarily improving actual environmental performance (GHG emissions) substantively.

票据无权代理追认制度微探

票据行为是一种法律行为，自然也可以以代理方式为之。民法上有关代理制度的规则一般也都可以适用于票据代理行为。但由于民法与商事法的立法旨趣各有侧重，为促进票据流通、保障交易安全，票据代理不能照搬民法上关于代理制度的规定。票据的无权代理是票据代理中一个非常典型的问题，与民法上的无权代理区别很大，其中存在的问题很多。对于票据的无权代理中是否应当赋予本人以追认权，多数大陆法系国家的立法例与英美法系国家之立法例有所不同。     

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。     

股份回购制度研究

股份回购是成熟资本市场上比较常见的资本运营方式与企业经营策略，尤其对于改善我国资本市场的产权结构和治理环境具有极其重要的现实意义。但是由于相关立法的滞后，导致实践操作中诸多不规范性和回购实务的风险与不确定性，因此在对股份回购的功能与价值进行清晰定位的基础上，制定与规范股份回购的实施细则或具体操作办法是迫在眉捷的课题。

知识产权侵权归责原则探析——谈无过错责任原则的不适用

知识产权侵权损害赔偿采用何种归责原则,事关知识产权权利人的权益及普遍公众的公共利益.无过错责任原则在知识产权侵权损害赔偿领域的适用打破了知识产权权利人和公共利益的平衡,影响了知识产权制度平衡机制的正常运转,歪曲了知识产权激励机制的本意,束缚了一般民事主体创造知识产品的热情.无过错责任原则在知识产权领域的适用有其天然的弊端和不足,而TRIPS协议第45条也并未将该原则作为一般原则来对待,即便按照民法学方法分析,知识产权侵权损害赔偿也不应适用无过错责任原则.

会计管制研究梳理及评论

文章主要介绍了国内外学者围绕会计管制的内涵界定、影响因素、经济后果、国际趋同以及公司治理与会计欺诈交叉研究等研究成果。在文献梳理中发现：我国的会计管制研究内容分散且观点存在分歧，仍停留在中心问题的边缘地带，对问题实质之处的挖掘还不够深入。西方理论界对会计管制的研究起步早、范围广，为国内学者提供了理论框架、技术方法等方面的研究指导，安然事件后《萨班斯法案》的出台，更引发了对会计管制的研究热潮。通过对会计管制研究进行脉络梳理和评论，以促进我国会计管制的广角研究。     

The challenge of legitimizing spatially differentiated regulation: Experiences from the implementation of the Danish Buffer zone act

Differentiating regulation is a promising approach to agri-environmental regulation that may potentially reduce the environmental impact of agriculture at the lowest possible costs for the farmers and society, but also possesses a number of challenges. In this article, we explore the challenges to the legitimacy of agri-environmental regulation that occurs when the regulatory regime changes from general regulation to differentiated regulation. The analysis is based on a case study of the implementation of the Buffer zone act in Denmark – a regulation that prevents agricultural production in a 10 (later 9) meter fringe around selected waterbodies. We distinguish between two different ways of legitimizing: Producing knowledge and participation. We conclude that to harvest some of the obvious benefits of differentiated regulation a number of challenges must be resolved, 1) ensuring legitimacy of differentiated regulation is crucial, 2) differentiated regulation imply that farmers are also differentiated, 3) differentiated regulation implies new uncertainties, 4) the current knowledge regime need to be reconfigured, 5) stakeholders feel that they are unevenly treated and 6) it is difficult to establish a win–win solution for all farmers on an individual level.
