How Does Outward FDI Influence the Structural Decompositions of TFP of Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises？——Analysis Based on the Differential Path

Three sub-sections of TFP are divided as technological process, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, which are also regarded as the differential path of promoting the equipment manufacturing industry’s TFP. Based on the differential path, the mechanism analysis between outward FDI and China’s equipment manufacturing industry is constructed. With the data of public-listed companies, PSM is used to verify the hypothesis proposed in this paper and then to test the mechanism of the six categories of equipment manufacturing industry. The results show that outward FDI of public-listed companies in equipment manufacturing industry significantly promotes the pure technical efficiency, but has a significant negative effect on the scale efficiency. What’s more, the positive effect decreases year by year, while the negative effect gradually weakens. Subsample data shows that for the pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, the significantly positive effects come from transportation equipment manufacturing industry and computer communication and other equipment manufacturing industry.     

取消农业税对农村基层法治建设的影响

取消农业税既为农村基层法治建设提供了可能性空间,也提出了一些挑战。之前因收取税费而形成的乡村利益共同体正在被打破,村民自治获得了制度性空间;但伴随着税费取消而来,为了应对财政压力而进行的乡村体制改革,对逆转农村社会灰色化和治安恶化趋势无所助益;而税费压力的消除,使得基层司法和基层政府的关系开始疏远,从而为基层司法独立提供了一定的可能性空间。     

再谈农业人口与非农业人口的统计问题

“也谈农业人口与非农业人口的统计问题”发表后,农业人口统计资料失真后该怎么办,我国目前到底是农业人口多还是非农业人口多?这成为笔者需向同行和读者认真回答的两个问题。对前者其办法不外乎以下五种:一是取消农业人口与非农业人口的划分,而代之以乡村人口与城镇人口;二是继续让原有的农业人口与非农业人口资料滥竽充数;三是借用联合国粮农组织数据库中有关中国农业人口的资料;四是公开宣布公安系统统计的人口数据是农业户口的人口与非农业户口的人口;五是千方百计搞一套接近实际的中国农业人口与非农业人口资料。前三种办法均不可取,第四种办法从公安系统来说,也许有一定的保留价值,但它无助于农业人口与非农业人口统计问题的解决,所以,只有第五种办法才是科学合理的;对后者,如截至目前,肯定是非农业人口比农业人口多。     

Coal and nuclear technologies: creating a false dichotomy for American energy policy

The American electric utility industry is entering a moment of transition. Once viewed as a stable and secure consortium of publicly regulated monopolies that produce and distribute electricity, the industry has weathered market restructuring only to face the ever-present risk of natural disasters, price fluctuations, terrorist attacks, and blackouts. This paper uses five criteria—technical feasibility, cost, negative externalities, reliability, and security—to evaluate the broad portfolio of energy technologies available to American electricity policymakers. Upon close inspection, energy efficiency practices, renewable energy systems, and small-scale distributed generation technologies appear to offer many advantages over large and centralized nuclear and fossil fueled generators. Contrary to the mimetic commentary produced by the media, these three approaches would present policymakers a superior alternative for curbing electricity demand, minimizing the risk of fuel interruptions and shortages, helping improve the fragile transmission network, and reducing environmental harm     

信息化时代世界装备制造业的软化趋势

20世纪中期以来，以信息技术革命为核心的新技术革命的兴起，催生了知识经济时代，引起了世界新的产业革命，加快了世界范围内产业结构的全方位变革。伴随着信息化时代的来临，世界装备制造业的发展也呈现出有别于工业经济时代的新趋势——软化趋势。世界装备制造业软化趋势为我国加快装备制造业发展，提升产业国际竞争力提供了宝贵的经验与启示。     

The Development of Competitive Industries: The Role of State Government Actors

Despite widespread adoption of Porter's Industrial Cluster Theory as a policy development framework by federal and state governments over the past decade, Australia remains significantly below the OECD average in terms of its industries' economic contributions to real wealth creation ( Brown 2000 ; OECD 1998 ). The major cause cited for this relatively poor performance has been inability of key government officials to implement effective industry policy that simultaneously avoids de facto protectionism and distortion of competition. This article provides an insight into the key policy decisions undertaken by the Tasmanian state government that coincided with development of an internationally successful shipbuilding industry in that state. As such, this article provides a reflection on policy initiatives that may be valuable for government officials elsewhere.     

农产品价格上涨与农民增收

2007年以来，农产品价格上涨，农民收入并未有效增加，在物价高涨的情况下，如何保障农民的收入的增加，是我们需要面对的问题，我们要从加大对农民的直补，加强农民专业合作组织建设，加强农产品市场建设等方面努力解决问题。
