The impact of foreign-owned enterprises in low-income economies

An economic impact snapshot of foreign and domestic enterprises from the functional economic areas of Guinea-Bissau showed that not all micro and small enterprises (MSEs) are local, and not all outside investment is large scale. We find that South–South entrepreneurship has prospects to improve livelihoods as drivers of economic growth and development in a low-income economy. While political instability and a lack of resources remain as barriers to solvency for both domestic and foreign investors in the global periphery, as opportunities and effective business strategies are fostered, improved socio-economic integration and development results.

“一带一路”境外合作区高质量发展:理念、实践与实现路径

“一带一路”倡议已进入向高质量发展转变的新阶段。2015年国务院颁发《国务院关于推进国际产能和装备制造合作的指导意见》,2016年商务部颁发《支持境外合作区发展的意见》,有力推动了中国境外合作区发展并逐步成为中国与沿线国家“一带一路”产能合作的主要实现形式。境外合作区发展能否实现向高质量发展转变,是高质量共建“一带一路”的重要基础。本文系统分析境外合作区建设进展、成果与问题,提出境外合作区高质量发展的实现路径及建议。     

中国城市产业承载力的影响因素及分解研究

城市产业承载力提升对于解决城市发展面临的资源环境瓶颈、提升城市发展质量、推动城市可持续发展发挥着重要作用。基于2007-2016年280个地级市数据,利用面板模型和Shapley分解方法量化分析城市产业承载力的影响因素及其相对重要程度,结果表明:基础设施、科技创新、环境质量和就业状况均对城市产业承载力具有促进作用,而科技创新是城市产业承载力增长的主要推动因素;基础设施、环境质量和就业状况对城市产业承载力的现状和潜力指数均具有促进作用,基础设施和科技创新则对提升城市产业承载力禀赋有较高的解释度。此外,各因素对城市产业承载力的影响有显著的区域差异。     

我国地方政府绩效模型的构建与分析

本文在归纳政府绩效影响因素的基础上,构建了地方政府绩效模型的一般形式和特殊形式。并通过模型的一般形式进行量化分析、变量分析,对模型的特殊形式进行乘积形式分析、对数形式分析得出提升政府绩效的启示,即:只有在能力转化力为正的情况下,政府绩效才有可能提高;在等绩效线上公示政府绩效,能激励政府绩效的提高;提高政府绩效的关键在于政府能力和能力转化率的共同提高。     

中国基层治理:体制与机制——条块关系的分析视角

本文从条块关系的视角,对基层治理机制创新的动因、条件、路径和类型等问题进行了系统的梳理.与既有研究主要从宏观角度探讨条块关系与体制适应能力不同,本文提供了一种分析基层条块关系与适应能力的微观视角.研究发现,条块体制的分割性、低效性和惰性,给基层治理机制创新提出了要求.在条块分割体制下,基层政府之所以能够更好地对接基层社...     

Micro-enterprise development initiatives and entrepreneurial competencies,innovativeness, and social capital in Malaysia

This article examines the effect of participation in development programmes designed for women micro-entrepreneurs on the development of entrepreneurial competencies, innovativeness, and social capital. The study employed a cross-sectional design and quasi-experimental approach, and collected data from 417 women micro-entrepreneurs in Malaysia. Findings reveal that the participants possess a significantly higher level of social capital, innovativeness, and entrepreneurial competencies. Development organisations should therefore focus on redesigning their policies and programmes to improve the breadth and depth of the development programmes that they offer, which ultimately lead to an improvement in the social-economic condition of low-income households in Malaysia.     

Beliefs,values, and traditions: re-thinking sustainable development using the Hñähñu example

Historically humans have used their territorial resources to meet their reproductive needs. In doing so, they have developed informal institutions through their systems of beliefs and values that have determined the sustainability of the resources they use from their environment. In this sense, this article evaluates the artisanship of the Hñähñu indigenous group as a case study that potentially help us to re-conceptualise sustainable development.     

Farmers’ perceptions of milk-collecting centres in Thailand's dairy industry

This study assessed farmers’ perceptions of milk-collecting centres (MCCs) in the central and north-eastern regions of Thailand. MCCs can be divided into two groups, dairy cooperatives and private organisations. There were similar perceptions about the role of MCCs among the farmers regarding the basic needs of dairy farmers, but with a stronger focus of economic issues for private organisation members, while dairy cooperative members views were more from the perspective of ownership. The farmers were somewhat satisfied with their MCCs’ performance, except that private organisation farmers were less satisfied with credit services. Policy recommendations are presented.     

自然人民事责任能力制度探讨

在传统民法中,责任能力制度主要适用于侵权法领域,是侵权责任承担的基础。但随着风险社会的来临以及侵权法救济功能的强化,该制度遭受到一定冲击,而基于责任能力进行过错判断的必要性也值得质疑。我国《侵权责任法》并未将责任能力设立为一般制度,只是在相关具体制度中有所涉及,并主要作为衡量过错和减轻责任的因素,在一定程度上对过错责任作用的发挥提供支持,从而更好地实现《侵权责任法》的救济功能。
