论国有土地使用权的性质

以出让方式取得的国有土地使用权制度是我国重要的土地使用制度,国有土地使用权也是物权法要规定的重要内容之一.正确地认识并确定国有土地使用权的性质是必要的,应该充分地认识到:在我国现行的土地制度中,以出让方式获得的国有土地使用权是惟一可自由交易的土地使用权,在我国土地公有制的条件下, 一般公民与法人享有的是近似于所有权的土地使用权,在民法上土地使用权起着所有权的功能,土地使用权才是我国不动产的"自物权",土地使用权是不动产市场的基础.     

法治视角的社会信用之构建刍议

社会信用是个人信用、企业的信用和政府信用的有机结合.其中,个人信用是社会信用的基础,企业信用是社会信用的主体,政府信用是社会信用的关键.社会信用缺失不独为个人信用和企业信用的缺失,政府信用缺失及其示范效应更为强烈.尽管个中缘由复杂,但法制及其整合功能的缺失无疑是问题的关键所在.因此,在法治视角下我们应以强化政府信用为重点,以确认和保护个人和企业的信用权为基础,以法治的功能性整合来构建我国的社会信用体系,实现社会信用的良性增长.     

解读民事诉讼中的诚实信用原则

毋庸置疑,在民事诉讼中需要确立诚实信用原则,然而,如果我们不本着客观的态度认真审视诚实信用原则,而盲目地一味扩大诚实信用原则在民事诉讼中的功效,甚至将其诠释为实质上授权法官自由裁量权,其结果势必与希望确立当事人主义诉讼模式的目的背道而驰.结合司法权理论、诉讼模式对诚实信用原则的基本内涵及其功效等进行系统的阐释.     

民事强制执行中债务人权益保障问题初探--从原则到制度的分析

强制执行是运用国家公权力来保障生效法律文书所确定的权利得以实现的过程,然而在强调债权人权益实现的同时有侵害债务人基本人权之可能.为了公平保护执行当事人的合法权益,特别是维护债务人之基本人权,民事强制执行立法必须从贯彻宪法对人权保障的高度,确立利益平衡和执行适度的原则,加强对债务人财产、住宅、人格尊严和人身自由等基本人权的保障.这既是现代民事执行文明、人道的重要体现,也是构建和谐社会的必然要求.     

从人格利益到人格要素——人格权法律关系客体之界定

在将人格视为人之根本的人文主义理想与权利客体理论矛盾的背景下,为了实现对人格的全面保护,我国学者采用了"人格利益"这一抽象概念作为人格权与人格权法律关系之客体.虽然这在一定程度上实现了通过权利模式对于人格的保护,但是由于"人格利益"概念本身的模糊性和对于人格理论的依赖性,人格利益作为人格权法律关系之客体具有根本性的缺陷.无论从当代法学之哲理基础还是从社会历史发展的现实来看,人格要素都是独立于法律上的主体的,因此人格要素作为人格权、人格权法律关系之客体,不仅不存在障碍,而且具有重大的理论与现实意义.     

居住权基本理论问题反思——评居住权的否定理由

否定居住权的各项理由值得商榷.脱离人役权的概念体系,在物权法中单独规定居住权也是可行的.人役权制度的废弃并非铁板一块的绝对真理.居住权制度具有无法为其他制度所替代的独特功能,它并未放弃对效益价值的追求,要辩证地理解居住权的不可转让性.在居住权法律关系中,保姆一般是间接受益人.     

农村宅基地使用权制度探讨

农村土地主要包括农用地、宅基地、乡村企业建设用地、乡村公用地.在目前制定民法典的过程中,专家学者对农用地的关注非常多,而对作为农民立身之本的宅基地的研究相对缺乏.通过对有关农村宅基地使用权的概念特征、现行法律制度及现状中存在的问题进行探讨,对农村宅基地使用制度的完善提出看法.     

Does the Feldstein–Horioka puzzle exist among South Asian countries? A regime‐switching approach

A plethora of literature has been undertaken to study the validity of the Feldstein–Horioka (FH) puzzle. However, divergent views continue to persist in the FH puzzle literature. This study explores the empirical validity of the FH puzzle in the case of South Asian countries using annual data from 1960 to 2017. Both panel data approach and Markov‐switching regression approach are used to empirically analyze the FH puzzle. The results of the cointegration test confirm the long‐run relationships between saving and investment in the selected South Asian countries. The results of Markov‐switching regression confirm that the saving‐retention coefficient has shifted from high to low values and also from low to high values. Thus, the FH puzzle exists for a particular time period and mostly depends on the regime shifts in the South Asian countries. The results of panel fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) methods also confirm that FH puzzle holds for the South Asian countries. Therefore, the study suggests that any saving promotion policies are desirable for enhancing investment among the South Asian regions.     

Exploring the Effects of North–South and South–South Research Collaboration in Emerging Economies,the Colombian Case

International research collaboration (IRC) is associated with both positive and negative effects on the performance of research in emerging economies. While some authors claim that North–South collaborations improve scientific quality and visibility for Southern countries, others claim that it may entail the reorientation of research to comply with Northern agendas. South–South collaborations are thought to increase the focus on local affairs, therefore leading to a relatively small number of scientific international publications appearing in “high quality” journals. Research on the impact of IRC beyond publications in international journals has been neglected despite the importance of other products in knowledge creation. This research uses a broad range of scientific outputs to empirically assess such assumptions and explore the outcomes of IRC in Colombia. Results from multivariate regressions and nonparametric analyses show that, contrary to common assumptions, Colombian research teams collaborating with partners from the global South report higher scientific production, while those collaborating with Northern countries seem to contribute to local knowledge the most.     

Linking democratic anchorage and regulatory authority: The case of internet regulators

Scholars and practitioners have repeatedly questioned the democraticness and the authority of transnational multi‐stakeholder organizations, especially those that regulate the internet. To contribute to this discussion, we studied the “democratic anchorages” and the regulatory authority of 23 internet regulators. In particular, we conducted a fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis assessing whether and which anchorages correspond to necessary and/or sufficient conditions for exerting regulatory authority. Our results show that strong anchorage in democratic procedures is specifically relevant for this outcome. Further, we find that weak anchorage in democratically elected politicians leads to high regulatory authority, confirming the significance of non‐state actors in this policy field. More generally, our findings support but also qualify expectations about the compatibility and mutual reinforcement of democratic quality and regulatory authority at the transnational level.
