云南省与东盟国家经贸合作贸易便利化行动成本效益评析

随着2010年中国—东盟自由贸易区如期建成,云南省与东盟各国的贸易制度愈加开放,区内关税水平大幅下降,关税减让成果斐然,但也导致调整余地越来越小。云南省与东盟各国在双边经贸合作中,手续和程序复杂、标准各异、管理纷繁等问题阻碍了合作的深入。贸易的非效率使人们更加关注便利化的推行。贸易便利化能提供协调、透明、开放、自由的贸易环境。本文以云南省与东盟国家经贸合作为例,对贸易便利化行动的成本与效益进行了分析对比,得出结论并指出努力的方向。     

Does an effective bankruptcy reform impact the selling cost behavior of firms? Evidence from India

This study examined whether strengthening of creditors' rights impacts the selling cost behavior of firms or not? To investigate this question, the author exploited implementation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) in 2016 in India as an exogenous policy shock. The author found that selling cost of firms in India in the pre-implementation period were not “sticky”. Further, implementation of the IBC produced no impact on the selling cost behavior of Indian firms in the post-implementation period. Nonetheless, legislation of the IBC was found to have lowered financial resources that firms devoted to their selling activities. In addition, firms that faced a higher risk of bankruptcy because of more leverage in the pre-IBC period demonstrated greater response to promulgation of the IBC. Thus, it can be inferred that an effective bankruptcy reform has little impact on the selling cost behavior of firms but incentivizes them to devote lesser financial resources to their selling activities in order to lower their bankruptcy risk.     

对建立取得时效制度的法律经济学分析

取得时效制度的本质是以法定形式重新界定产权归属 ,将权利人怠于行使主权利转移于能够充分利用它的人。从制度供给与需求的关系来看 ,我国有必要引入取得时效制度。建立取得时效制度要考虑到法律成本的问题     

美国成年监护制度中的调解程序探析

目前世界上越来越多的国家都优先采用调解程序来解决成年监护制度中出现的难题,这是因为成年监护调解程序与成年监护诉讼程序相比具有得天独厚的优势,其主要体现在节约成本、提高效用和促使人际关系的和谐。基于我国成年监护制度的相对不完善,应借鉴美国在这方面的经验构建与我国国情相适应的成年监护制度调解程序。     

Make or buy on the Russian railway? Coase,Williamson, and Tsar Nicholas II

There is a growing consensus among economists that the most procompetitive strategy for restructuring public utility enterprises includes complete vertical separation of the network or grid portion of a sector from other parts of the sector where competition is to be created. Although exceptions to this rule are readily granted, it is generally considered that any alternative strategy may pay a high cost in terms of discriminatory access to the grid by non-integrated entrants into the new competitive sector. This consensus is somewhat surprising in light of the simultaneous growth of transactions cost economics, with its emphasis on the benefits of close vertical relationships—including vertical integration—in the face of complexity, unforeseeable contingencies, and problems with contract law enforcement. These issues are considered in the context of a Russian railways restructuring plan which may, or may not, involve complete vertical separation.

公共成本对权利观念与宪政理论重构的影响

＂权利的成本＂理论从＂权利依赖于税＂这一常识出发,立足于权利的可行性,厘清了传统权利观念的种种误解。法律权利的实现需要公共成本负担,因而消极权利和积极权利两分法并不适当,一切权利都是积极权利,都需要政府的积极保护。公共资源有限,权利的实现需要平衡,因此具有相对性,而非常见的绝对性。这也论证了权利与责任的内在一致性,提倡从权利话语到责任话语的重构。个人自由在本质上依靠社会合作与政府行动,私人权利也具有公共属性和促进社会整合的功能。这超越了权力与权利的零和博弈,从一个新的角度为面临危机的自由主义宪政体制做出了论证。但在中国独特的语境下,应注意保持这一理论作为自由宣言书的底色,避免其沦为行政擅权的辩护词。同时应正视税收对宪政的促进作用并完善公共预算改革。     

Total and Marginal Cost Analysis for a High School Based Bystander Intervention

Costs of providing the Green Dot bystander-based intervention, shown to be effective in the reduction of sexual violence among Kentucky high school students, were estimated based on data from a large cluster-randomized clinical trial. Rape Crisis Center Educators were trained to provide Green Dot curriculum to students. Implementing Green Dot in schools (N = 13) randomized to the intervention, over five years, cost $1.6 M and included start-up ($58 K) and ongoing implementation ($1.55 M). Costs for adding a school ($25,510) were calculated based on the final year, where no start-up costs were incurred. Knowing the $25,510 cost estimate for adding Green Dot may be particularly useful for high school administrators or school boards when they were making economic decisions based on strong evidence of program effectiveness to reduce violence.     

关于政府成本理论与政府成本研究中的问题

本文所讨论的问题是,在合理界定政府成本概念的基础上建立科学的政府成本理论,并分析当前政府成本领域研究中存在的诸如概念模糊、研究理念相对陈旧、研究范围狭窄、研究方法与研究工具单一等问题。将突破传统地把行政管理建立在单一的政治学范畴,进一步拓宽到包括政治学、社会学、管理学、经济学等在内的研究领域,并取得在政府决策、和谐社会建立、提升政治文明以及在同等资源情况下最大限度地改善公众福利的效果。     

江、浙、沪商务成本结构性比对及差异性分析

本文对江、浙、沪商务成本结构性趋势进行比对,研究差异原因,并探讨对政府和企业的启示。研究表明：一般而言,随着经济发展,要素成本不断上升,交易成本逐步下降,而商务成本总体呈现上升趋势。经过比对,发现要素成本上海最高,江苏最低;交易成本上海最低,粗略认为浙江交易成本略低于江苏。在此基础上,本文分别从政府和企业两个角度,对政府政策与企业选址提出相应对策和建议。     

Make and Buy—An Alternative to Make or Buy? An Investigation of Four Theoretical Explanations in Danish Municipalities

The question of whether public organizations should provide services themselves or buy them from external suppliers has become increasingly relevant due to public-sector modernization. The literature has focused on it as a question of either make or buy. Contrarily, we focus on the reasons for public organizations to simultaneously produce and contract out similar services. The article investigates different theoretical explanations for concurrent make and buy. A survey of Danish municipalities shows that make and buy seems to be a steady choice. However, the results show little support for the theoretical explanations indicating the need for more public-oriented explanations.
