产业变动的一般规律与房地产业发展

保持房地产业在较长时期内持续发展对于拉长经济增长周期具有十分重要的意义。当前我国房地产业的发展符合产业变动的一般规律,制度变迁以及制度变迁过程中存在的制度缺失和管理不到位是导致房地产市场扭曲的主要因素。彻底解决房地产业结构失衡并不能完全寄希望于宏观调控,关键在于实行两级政府联动,强化宏观管理和微观管理。其长效机制还在于构建和谐的城市体系和合理的房价梯度。

The incidence of overdissipation in rent-seeking contests

Tullock's analysis of rent seeking and overdissipation is reconsidered. We show that, while equilibrium strategies do not permit overdissipation in expectation, for particular realizations of players' mixed strategies the total amount spent competing for rents can exceed the value of the prize. We also show that the cross-sectional incidence of overdissipation in the perfectly discriminating contest ranges from 0.50 to 0.44 as the number of players increases from two to infinity. Thus, even though the original analysis of overdissipation is flawed, there are instances in which rent-seekers spend more than the prize is worth.     

JAPANESE BUREAUCRATS AND POLICY IMPLEMENTATION: LESSONS FOR AMERICA?

In recent years, American business has attempted to learn the secrets of Japanese business success. This paper asks whether it would be equally useful to examine Japanese public administration to determine why the Japanese government seems to be so much more successful than American government in implementing public policies. It is widely agreed that policy implementation in the United States involves considerable "slippage" between policy intent and achievement. By contrast, scholars agree that Japanese public policy is usually implemented effectively and efficiently. This paper argues that the Japanese case has three important implications for the United States: effective policy implementation is possible, better implementation would result from allowing civil servants to participate more fully in policy formulation, and the development of an elite corps of top civil servants could make a major contribution to better policymaking and implementation.     

Don't be your own best customer—Drug use of San Francisco gang drug sellers

In general, it is believed that most retail drug sellers, those who sell small amounts, use the drugs they sell and that drug sales is undertaken not only for the purpose of making money but to get the drugs they desire or need. In a few instances there have been accounts of groups who rationalized drug sales to maximize profits and as a result did not use the drugs they sold, but the literature on the topic of the drug use of sellers has been sketchy. This paper will report preliminary findings of a survey of 300 gang members in San Francisco about the drug use of gang drug sellers. These findings reveal that the majority of gang crack sellers, who are usually African-American, donot use crack themselves while the majority of marijuana, powder cocaine and heroin sellers do use the drugs they sell. In general, African-American gangs that sell crack in San Francisco have rules about the use of crack by sellers and believe that it is highly addictive drug that is bad for business and is contrary to a gang principle of being down for the hood and other gang members.     

The Limits of Judicial Desegregation Remedies after Missouri v. Jenkins

How far can federal courts go to remedy unconstitutional segregation?In Missouri v. Jenkins in 1990, the U. S. Supreme Court appearedto add new taxing powers to the existing tools already availableto the judiciary. By a 5–4 vote, the Court affirmed court-orderedtaxation to fund an elaborate and expensive desegregation planfor the Kansas City, Missouri, School District. This articleexamines that decision, how it developed, what it said, howit was received, and, most important, what its long-term significancemay be. We argue that the "new" judicial taxing authority sanctionedin the decision may not prove nearly as important as at firstanticipated In the long run, Missouri v. Jenkins may prove mostsignificant for the questions about desegregation remedies raisedby Justice Anthony Kennedy in a dissenting opinion. Those questionscould presage a more skeptical Court outlook on substantiveschool desegregation remedies, at least where those remediescall for additional public funding, as well as greater Courtdeference to the outcomes of state-local political processes.
