我国农村公务员行政行为的外部性现象分析

农村公务人员高效率的行政行为是农村经济与社会发展的动力,但其行为中的外部性问题却影响行政行为的效力。因为无论是正外部性还是负外部性都与帕累托最优原则不符,因此通过外部性理论审视与分析农村公务员行政行为中的正外部性与负外部性现象的表现形式及形成原因,在制度层面完善对农村公务员行政行为的激励与约束措施,弥补正外部性行为的额外成本支出,加大负外部性现象的成本风险。

我国中小企业融资效率研究

我国中小企业主要集中在一些技术含量低,风险相对低,劳动密集型的产业和行业。其利润水平低,存在着资金供给渠道狭窄,内源融资规模有限,直接有效的资金供给不足,风险投资渠道不完善,商业信用不发达,以及贷款供给期限过短等障碍。中小企业融资效率主要受融资成本、资金到位率、资金利用率、企业清偿能力、融资机制规范程度、融资主体自由度等六方面的制约。为此应重视内源融资,优化资本结构,多种融资模式结合;强化现代企业制度,改善公司治理结构,选择符合企业长远利益的好的投资项目,保持对企业的控制权;建立针对中小企业的证券市场,完善中小企业的信用担保体系,有效降低企业的融资成本,为企业直接融资效率的提高创造良好的宏观条件。     

论构建中国特色检察制度

中国检察制度与中国特色社会主义制度紧密相关,是中国社会和政治制度的必然选择,与西方三权分立下的检察制度具有本质属性区别,因此,确立和完善中国检察制度必须考虑中国社会实际和中国的基本政治制度。履行宪法赋予的法律监督职能是中国检察机关的基本职责,也是检察制度的核心内容。为了适应社会发展变革的需要,中国检察制度还需要进行改革,改革应当立足中国国情,同时也要放眼世界,应当从健全法制、改进领导体制以及完善保障机制等方面去努力。     

中国高校教师聘任制政策文本研究

本文通过内容分析的研究方法，对依据“可获得性”原则搜集到的47所高等学校教师聘任制度样本，从13个方面比较了具体内容的异同，对我国目前各地高校教师聘任制度改革的整体状况进行了统计分析和说明。研究发现，各地高校在政策制定上都与国家相关规定的基本精神保持了高度一致，相互之间不存在显著差异，这些都充分反映了我国高等教育高度行政化、高度集权化的特点。现阶段，我国高校教师聘任制度建设已初步形成体系，并发挥了一定作用，但是仍然存在各个方面的具体问题，需要进一步深化和落实聘任制度改革。

Globalization and legal change: The “Americanization” of European law?

Intensified global economic competition, economic liberalization, and the rise of EU governance have led some observers to argue that there has been a trend toward the “Americanization” of the European “way of law.” This article addresses that contention, focusing on legal change in European member states. It first describes ways in which the American legal tradition has differed most sharply from the national legal systems of Western Europe (including Great Britain) and the political and economic factors that account for this “American legal distinctiveness.” Similar political and economic factors currently are at work in Europe, the article acknowledges, creating incentives for legal convergence. But it also argues that European legal culture and the political organization of European national states generate path‐dependent forces that impede European movement toward American ways of law, and it discusses six important differences between European and American law that remain entrenched and are unlikely to disappear.     

Effectiveness of private finance initiatives (PFI): study of private financing for the provision of capital assets for schools

The study reported in this paper explores how effective Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have been as critical providers of capital assets within the state education sector in the UK. Specifically, the research investigates the impact on educational provision of the UK government's contentious £43 billion Private Finance Initiative (PFI). The inquiry focuses on 27 English Local Education Authorities (LEAs) currently or recently involved in PFI. The investigation examines the effect of PFI's on LEA decision‐making processes and discusses these authorities assessment of the UK government's current PFI strategy. An evaluation of PFI as a source of sustainable finance is reported as well as recommendations made for LEAs currently considering adoption of PFI. Through such analysis, this study seeks to de‐layer and ascertain the influence of complex external environmental influences and stakeholders that need to be taken into account in order to make PPPs work. The paper concludes by presenting the critical considerations for enhancing the working relationship between private and public sector partners. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Independent regulatory agencies in Turkey: are they really autonomous?

This article examines the autonomy of independent regulatory agencies (IRAs) in Turkey. It explores, first, the different factors that have led to the creation of IRAs and second, the legislative basis of their formal or de jure autonomy. Thereafter, the article assesses the extent to which this formal autonomy is really put in practice and how it is perceived by board members. The enquiry was conducted through a survey comprising interviews and a questionnaire applied to the same. It concludes that although formal autonomy is satisfactorily provided for by law, government tends to limit this autonomy through secondary legislation. Consequently, there are some constraints on the actual use of autonomy. Concerning de facto autonomy, survey findings show that boards are exposed to external and internal pressures and interference in their deliberations. Thus, the assumption that ‘the greater the autonomy the more efficient the management’ is questioned. The main sources of pressure on board members are from the regulated sectors themselves. These findings have an important bearing on democracy and the political–administrative interface, as it is confronted by market forces. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
