Insuring morality

This article describes and compares two forms of moral regulation employed in connection with insurance institutions. The first governs through moralized personal attributes or pressures like 'temptation' and 'character'. The second governs through moralized institutional or system attributes and processes described in terms of 'efficiency'. The article traces these forms of moral regulation from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, arguing that both continue to inform popular and specialized discourses of risk.

保理合同中应收账款多重转让的优先顺序——以《民法典》第768条为中心

《民法典》保理合同章规定了保理合同、担保合意和应收账款债权转让三部分的内容。无追索权的保理本质上是债权买卖合同结合应收账款债权转让,买卖合同是债权转让的原因行为。有追索权的保理本质上是借款合同结合担保合意和债权让与担保。担保合意构成债权让与担保的原因行为,并决定债权让与担保中的清算义务。《民法典》第768条规定了同一应收账款订立多个保理合同的数个保理人之间的优先顺序,确立了登记优先、通知次优的规则。在未登记也未通知时,引入了按比例分割债权的规则。尽管我国学说对于债权分割规则批评较多,但是这一规则的价值基础在于债权人平等原则。在债务给付可分的情况下,多数债权受让人之间形成按份债权关系;在债务给付不可分的情况下,多数债权受让人之间形成债权准共有。     

Situational deterrence and claim padding: results from a randomized field experiment

While it is generally argued that threats of legal sanctions are more effective with offenders involved in economic crimes than with delinquents committing more conventional crimes, such an affirmation rests on weak empirical evidence. Also, most studies supporting this proposition were conducted with non-experimental designs, thus, undermining the interval validity of the results. On the other hand, studies base their predictions on individual factors and do not incorporate contextual factors. To overcome those limitations, a randomized field experiment was implemented in four insurance companies to incorporate contextual factors into the dynamics of deterrence. This study assessed the effect of a written threat (a deterrent letter reminding insured persons of the punishment for insurance fraud) on claim padding behaviours of insured persons filing claims for residential theft. A deterrent-letter project was implemented in four insurance companies, with claims randomly assigned to the experimental or the control group. Cases belonging to the control group were managed as usual, while individuals in the experimental group received the written threat. The experimental design made sure that the deterrent stimulus was exactly delivered to the insured persons when they had the opportunity to exaggerate the value of their claims. Findings demonstrate that claimants in the experimental group were less likely to pad their claims than were those in the control group. The letter was effective, regardless of the means of delivery. In conclusion, the administration of a written threat at the moment of criminal opportunity appears to be an effective strategy for preventing economic crimes.

China’s consumer credit sector expansion and monetary transmission mechanism: What should China’s central bank do?

In this paper, we argue that as China’s consumer credit sector is expanding, the central bank’s role in smoothing economic fluctuation and promoting economic growth becomes more important. We build a general equilibrium model with durable and nondurable goods to analyze how the consumer credit sector affects the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. The model finds that an expanding consumer credit sector improves the efficiency of the monetary transmission mechanism. Two policy implications derived suggest China’s central bank should encourage the development of the consumer credit sector and liberalize market-based monetary policy tools such as interest rate tools. Her fields of interest are international economics, monetary policies and economic growth. Guofeng Sun is the deputy director of open market operation office of monetary policy department at People’s Bank of China. His research focus is the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. The authors thank two anonymous referees for their helpful comments and suggestions. The views in this paper are solely the responsibility of the authors and should not be interpreted as reflecting the views of the People’s Bank of China.     

德国2008年《保险合同法》变革透视

工会应关注灵活就业人员、进城务工人员的社会保险问题

由于灵活就业人员的劳动关系和社会保险关系的非正规性,这些劳动者往往难以纳入社会保障的覆盖范围。随着这一劳动群体规模的不断扩大,我们应该加强对灵活就业人员的社会保险问题的调查、分析、研究,制定和完善灵活就业人员的社会保障政策,并纳入工会的视野和立法源头参与、层层维权监管的行动之中,切实维护好这一特殊劳动群体的社会保障权益。
