为什么说“只管不收”是工商行政管理的改革目标

工商行政管理的“收管混台”使“重收轻管”一直未得到解决 ,在其“垂直改制”后仍面对收“两费”的现实。由于“收”与“管”是两种不同的运行主体 ,再结合工商行政管理的管理活动属性及目前的财政体制改革来看 ,工商行政管理应是“只管不收”。     

吉林省证券业发展对策研究——基于“十一五”期间数据

"十一五"以来,吉林省证券业试图壮大上市公司队伍,通过买壳、借壳等多种方式扩大直接融资的规模。但由于各种原因,辖区上市公司数量不但没有增加,反而减少。与国内发达省区比较依然存在一些差距。针对吉林省证券业现状出现的问题,应加快培养本地综合类券商或引进综合类券商推进重组工作、提高上市公司再融资能力、加快培育上市公司后续资源、力争长春高新技术产业开发区进入代办股份转让系统等对策。     

马来西亚汽车市场分析：与泰国汽车市场比较

在中国-东盟自由贸易区（CAFTA）正式启动的宏观背景下,本文对马来西亚汽车市场进行详细的总量和结构分析,指出近10年来马来西亚汽车工业保持稳定的发展速度,但泰国汽车工业的迅速崛起使马来西亚汽车产业失去了在东盟的主导地位;而马来西亚政府推行的进口替代汽车产业政策和国民车计划直接决定了该国汽车产业的发展动向。在实证分析部分,我们通过显性比较优势指数RCA测算发现马来西亚汽车产业不具备显性比较优势,通过恒定市场份额CMS分析得出2001—2007年间虽然马来西亚汽车产业出口竞争力呈上升趋势,但竞争力呈自我弱化趋势。与泰国汽车产业的测算结果比较反过来验证了泰国政府及时顺应世界贸易自由化浪潮进行产业政策转变的正确性。

Perceptions of the Regulated Community in Environmental Policy: The View from Below

Discussions in environmental policy often focus on the highest levels of decision making and action while paying scant attention to those individuals on the front lines. Among those frequently overlooked are the individuals at regulated facilities who interact with government regulators on a frequent basis. Interviews with nearly two dozen facility personnel in Virginia yield findings that challenge common perceptions of the relationships between facility personnel and inspectors. In particular, 86 percent of facility personnel, representing a range of regulated facilities from prisons to landfills to dry cleaners, said their interactions with inspectors were positive. Approximately 70 percent of them said that they trust inspectors and provided evidence of trust in their stories. The ramifications of these findings for environmental policy could be potentially significant because facility personnel are presumed to be adversarial, if not outright hostile, and this assumption impacts the design and implementation of environmental regulations.     

Leveraging liminality: how San Diego taxi drivers used their precarious status to win reform

ABSTRACT

Using a case study in San Diego, California, we explore the complexities of precarious employment for taxi drivers. We seek to answer the following question: how do the ambiguities of taxi drivers’ status as independent contractors shape drivers’ work conditions and opportunities for resistance? Our study is based on 331 surveys, 20 in-depth interviews, participant observation, and policy analysis over two years. While drivers were objectively disempowered by the independent contracting designation, lacking both the protections granted employees and the prerogatives of ownership, they were empowered by the alliances this duality facilitated. Drivers used their marginal identities as workers and as entrepreneurs to their advantage in their campaign for reform. This case presents an alternative narrative to previous research, which generally highlights how independent contractors either accept their status in exchange for flexibility or resist by claiming misclassification. The immigrant taxi drivers in our case study actively resisted, not by pursuing recognition as employees, but rather by successfully seeking the full rights of business owners.     

Between Denmark and Detroit: unionized labour at Ford Motor Company,Copenhagen, 1919–1939

In 1919, Ford Motor Company established its first assembly plant on the European mainland in Copenhagen, Denmark. Based on a Fordist productive model, including technology and materials from Detroit, cars were manufactured and exported to most of Northern Europe. It has been claimed that Ford also transferred its principles of industrial relations to Europe, including a ban on trade unions. But as the article demonstrates, the Copenhagen factory was completely unionized, and the unions were able to establish collective bargaining for a period. On the other hand, several factors, including internal splits among the workers caused by the Fordist production methods, worked against the unions over time. The end result was a hybrid between Detroit methods and Danish traditions of industrial relations. The changing character of this hybrid is traced through the shifting relations of power between unions, local management and the Ford Motor Company.
