Perception of risks associated with economic sanctions: the case of Russian manufacturing

This paper is focused on assessing the risk factors for Russian manufacturing firms posed by sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU, US, and other countries in 2014. While there is an extensive literature assessing the successes and failures of international sanctions on the economies of both those imposing and targeted by sanctions on a macroeconomic level, we are more interested in trying to understand the corporate response – i.e. which firms evaluate the introduction and increasing scale of economic sanctions as a threat to their corporate strategy, and their possible reactions aimed at adjusting to a changing environment due to the geopolitical shock. Our research, based on a recent survey of manufacturing companies, provides evidence that over the last decade Russian manufacturing firms have become much more integrated into the global economy than is commonly assumed, through foreign direct investment, foreign trade (including imports of both technological equipment and raw materials and components), international partnerships, and by extensively supplying foreign companies that operate in Russia. Considering the self-selection effect of the top-performing firms in terms of foreign trade, we can state that sanctions could prove most harmful not only for the targeted firms, but for the entire population of better-performing and globalized firms involved in foreign trade with the EU and Ukraine. Thus, the impact of the sanctions on the prospects of the Russian manufacturing sector may be very strong over the medium-to-long term.     

低增加值率制造业对大学毕业生就业影响研究

该文以增加值率为衡量指标,计量地定位了中国制造业在全球产业价值链中的位置,认为正是由于地处全球产业价值链低端位置,中国制造业只能走规模扩张的道路,由此形成一个低增加值率导致低工资、低工资导致低素质劳动力、低素质劳动力导致低增加值率的恶性循环。在这一螺旋向下的过程中,以大学毕业生为代表的,需要较高雇用成本的劳动力资源被实体经济自动过滤出来,形成失业人口。     

建构新生代农民工职业规划培训体系的宏观策略研究

当前作为推动我国经济建设重要力量的新生代农民工职业发展方向及门路迷茫,其主要原因在于职业规划意识薄弱、缺乏专业的职业规划培训.为此,亟待加强新生代农民工职业规划培训,在培训准备阶段、实施阶段、评估反馈阶段的实施过程中,政府应加大支持与推动力度,用人单位应提高发展平台与培养激励机制,培训机构应实施因地制宜的培训策略,并发挥新闻媒体及社会组织的辅助功能,以此探索建构“五位一体”的新生代农民工职业规划培训体系.     

我国大学生与农民工就业质量分析——以国际分工地位的影响为视角

本文分析了我国在国际分工中的地位对大学生和农民工两大群体就业质量的影响。产业链中产品设计、仓储运输、原料采购、订单处理、批发经营、终端零售等六大软环节的发育不足导致大学生就业难、就业质量不高;加工制造的分工环节给农民工提供了大量岗位,但成本上涨压力和国内国外的激烈竞争降低了农民工的就业质量。     

开展干部下基层活动应解决好四个问题

开展干部下基层活动是党中央在新的形势下为扎实做好群众工作、化解基层矛盾、维护群众利益、推动和谐发展作出的一项重要决策部署。自活动开展以来,各级干部纷纷深入基层磨炼意志、增长本领、提升能力,取得了较好的实践效果,但也暴露出了一些问题和不足。要想使这项活动长久稳定地坚持下去,应着重解决好四个问题：统一思想认识,确保下基层活动不走过场;树立正确理念,确保党群干群关系密切和谐;加强建章立制,确保干部下基层下得去、呆得住、干得好;着力排解民忧,确保下基层活动取得实效。     

对执法为民一些问题的思考

坚持执法为民是时代发展的根本要求,因为公安机关践行"三个代表"重要思想,维护社会稳定,完成自己肩负的历史使命,都必须做到执法为民;同时,适应公民法律意识不断提高的现状,提高公安民警的自我保护能力,适应有力的外部监督,也必须做到执法为民。真要做到执法为民,必须切实转变执法观念,树立反映时代发展要求的新观念,其中包括正确的权力观念,人权观念,实体和程序并重的观念和服务观念等,而且,必须从各个方面优化执法的条件。     

Do intergovernmental transfers affect the distribution of manufacturing production across regions in federal countries? Theory and evidence for Argentina

The effect of changes in the distribution of top-to-bottom intergovernmental transfers on the location of manufacturing production is analysed using a modified version of the footloose capital model. An increase in the share of transfers received by a region increases its share of manufacturing production the larger are transaction costs; the larger is the share of transfers going directly to consumers; the larger is the share of manufacturing consumption vis-à-vis non-tradable consumption; and the easier consumers can substitute among manufacturing varieties. Using data for Argentina for 1983-2005, the empirical analysis appears to support the existence of two distinctive regimes, with smaller/poorer provinces benefiting in terms of the location of manufacturing production as a response to an increase in transfers. Also, for these provinces, the benefits are greater if they are politically aligned with the federal government, especially through the receipt of discretionary transfers. For large/rich provinces, the evidence is less conclusive.     

University Technology Transfer and Manufacturing Innovation: The Case of Italy

This article analyzes the influence of universities on Italian firms' probability to innovate. Using firm‐level data, we focus on institutionalized technology transfer (TT) activities in universities, namely spin‐offs, patents, and research contracts. Results show that TT activities play a significant role in the probability to innovate by Italian manufacturing firms located in the same province as the university. Nevertheless, the effect is not uniform: the contribution of university TT activities to the probability of firms' innovating is concentrated in certain territorial areas (North‐East and Center) and sectors (science based and scale intensive) and among firms that are large.
