The Reputational Impact of Investor-State Disputes

To what extent do alleged violations of international commitments damage state reputation? This article explore this question with specific reference to investor-state disputes arising under the protection of international investment agreements. Its main contributions are threefold. First, building on the political institutions literature, the study places the theoretical importance of information about the rules of the game, and the actions of the participants at the center of analysis. Second, in contrast to prior empirical research, the study systematically analyzes the costs of state involvement in investment treaty arbitration by examining all known disputes. Third, the study addresses the impact of investment disputes on both foreign investment flows and state reputational rankings. We show that the consequences of investment disputes vary with the transparency of the investor-state dispute settlement process. The central implication of these findings for the broader body of literature on international institutions is that reputational mechanisms for effective treaty enforcement cannot be taken as given but instead need to be explored on the basis of a nuanced approach that addresses the pivotal issues of institutional design and information costs.     

The influence of foreign direct investment on contracting confidence in developing countries

This paper examines whether foreign direct investment (FDI) influences confidence in commercial contracts in developing countries. While the research on how host countries’ policy environments encourage FDI inflows has flourished, scholars have paid less attention to how the policy environment and local actors’ beliefs might, in turn, be affected by FDI. This is surprising because multinational enterprises are well‐recognized political and economic actors across the world. We expect that their increasing economic salience will influence the policy environments in which they function. By employing an innovative measure of property rights protection – contract‐intensive money – we examine how foreign direct investment influences host countries’ contract‐intensive money ratio in a large panel time series of both developed and developing countries from 1980 to 2002. Our analysis suggests that higher levels of FDI inflows are associated with greater confidence in commercial contracts and, by extension, the protection of property rights in developing countries.     

东盟东增长区的发展与引资成效

自20世纪90年代初以来,东盟次区域经济合作非常活跃,先后出现了新加坡、马来西亚柔佛和印尼的廖内群岛等组成的"新柔廖增长三角",又被称为"东盟南增长三角";印尼、马来西亚、泰国相邻部分组成的"东盟北增长三角";文莱、印尼、马来西亚和菲律宾相邻部分组成的"东盟东部经济增长区(简称东盟东增长区)"等.这些由东盟各国自愿组成的各种增长三角已成为东盟进行合作的重要形式,促进了东盟各国间经济联系和相互合作,带动了贸易和投资的发展.本文选取东盟区域内最大的、最年轻的东盟东增长区,分析其带动资本流动的效果,探讨其发展成效.     

顾客理念的理性吸纳促进服务型政府建构的文献综述

服务型政府是一种新型的政府管理模式，西方新公共管理运动所提出的先进理论为服务型政府的构建提供不少借鉴。其中被新公共管理运动视为改革指南的顾客理念就被众多学者力捧于指导服务型政府的构建，在指导服务型政府构建起积极作用的同时也存在众多不足，且其对服务型政府构建带来的消极影响没有引起足够重视。所以，通过研读关亍顾客理念的相关文献，总结归纳出顾客理念的积极作用和消积影响因素，并做出相应文献综述和评价，对促进服务型政府构建需理性吸纳顾客理念的研究具有一定价值意义。     

How Does Outward FDI Influence the Structural Decompositions of TFP of Equipment Manufacturing Enterprises？——Analysis Based on the Differential Path

Three sub-sections of TFP are divided as technological process, pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, which are also regarded as the differential path of promoting the equipment manufacturing industry’s TFP. Based on the differential path, the mechanism analysis between outward FDI and China’s equipment manufacturing industry is constructed. With the data of public-listed companies, PSM is used to verify the hypothesis proposed in this paper and then to test the mechanism of the six categories of equipment manufacturing industry. The results show that outward FDI of public-listed companies in equipment manufacturing industry significantly promotes the pure technical efficiency, but has a significant negative effect on the scale efficiency. What’s more, the positive effect decreases year by year, while the negative effect gradually weakens. Subsample data shows that for the pure technical efficiency and scale efficiency, the significantly positive effects come from transportation equipment manufacturing industry and computer communication and other equipment manufacturing industry.     

Measuring the capability to raise revenue: process and output dimensions and their application to the Zambia Revenue Authority

The worldwide diffusion of the good governance agenda and new public management (NPM) principles has triggered a renewed focus on state capability and, more specifically, on the capability to raise revenue in developing countries. However, the analytical tools for a comprehensive understanding of the capability to raise revenue remain underdeveloped. This article aims at filling this gap and presents a model consisting of the three process dimensions ‘information collection and processing’, ‘merit orientation’ and ‘administrative accountability’. ‘Revenue performance’ constitutes the fourth capability dimension which assesses tax administrations' output. This model is applied to the case of the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA). The dimensions prove to be valuable not only for assessing the how much but also the how of collecting taxes. They can be a useful tool for future comparative analyses of tax administrations' capabilities in developing countries. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

社会转型期如何实现国家能力建设

作为社会转型的主导力量，国家能力的强弱对社会转型具有重要影响，同时社会转型也在影响着国家能力的发挥，二者构成了相互影响、相互制约的关系。在社会转型中提升国家能力的宏观调控能力、公共服务供给能力、社会管理能力是实现国家能力结构转型、促进国家能力建设的关键，也是实现国家能力和社会发展和谐共进的重要路径选择。     

加强公务员公共服务能力建设的思考——兼论贯彻执行公务员法

国家公务员公共服务能力是整体能力建设的重要组成部分,是建设服务型政府的基本要求,是贯彻落实公务员法的重要目标。目前,公务员公共服务能力欠缺的主要原因在于体制、机制的障碍。因此,通过严格执行公务员法来强化公务员管理,并加强以公共服务机制建设为主要内容的公务员能力建设,是提高公务员公共服务能力的主要途径。     

广东外商直接投资的结构失衡与优化
