The effect of EU structural funds on regional growth: assessing the evidence from Greece, 1990–2005

This paper brings empirical evidence on the impact of EU structural policy on regional income growth. The case of Greece over the period 1990–2005 is taken as an example. This period is characterized by the acceleration of the European integration process, with a central role assigned to the EU structural support to less prosperous regions. Regional growth is approached through the estimation of β-convergence equations using panel methods of estimation. The empirical results reveal a positive impact of structural funds support on regional growth while income convergence is enhanced. In addition, a significant influence of spatial income and unemployment spillovers on regional income growth is evidenced, illustrating the recent growth performance in Greece. Our results leave ample room for European regional policy to operate for the promotion of growth and the reduction of regional disparities.

关于文登市新型农村合作医疗的调查报告

通过封文登市新型农村合作医疗的调查发现,现在参加新型农村合作医疗的农村居民参与度低、个人缴费少,80％的资金来源于各级政府,待遇支付管“小”不管“大”,客观上造成“帮富不帮贫”,政府成为新型农村合作医疗的主角,制度的建立不能解决参加新型农村合作医疗的农村居民因病致贫和因病返贫问题。针对上述问题,本文建议加强宣传,增强农农村居民的保险意识,提高参加新型农村合作医疗的农村居民本人的缴费比例及数额,政府加大封农村居民中弱势群体的补助,取消新型农村合作医疗家庭账户,调整新型农村合作医疗支付结构,变保“小”为保“大”,加快医药卫生体制改革,有效地防止参加新型农村合作医疗的农民因病致贫和因病返贫。     

民营企业进入金融领域的法律障碍及解围的制度路径——以河北大午农牧集团公司“非法吸收公众存款”案为例

鉴于主流的经济法既往研究过于倚重价值论范式及其所造成的对经济法实践操作能力的消极影响,本文立足于转型中围社会的“共时性”背景,选定其中一个非常具有社会影响和法律分析价值的农村民间金融个案一河北大午农牧集团公司“非法吸收公众存款”案,依循严格的法条主义的实证分析范式,探究了“三农”转型背景下农村民间金融所面临的司法制度困境。其深意在于通过对分别代表私法（民法）和公法（刑法、行政法）两种立场的控、辩双方论证思路的分析实证检视,尝试性地思考与回答了经济法对于类似制度困境的有效破解。     

Public Pension Funds and Alternative Investments: A Tale of Four Swedish National Pension Funds

This exploratory study offers insights into why public pension plans might invest in alternative asset classes at levels inconsistent with modern portfolio theory. Using a case study methodology, the research relies on fieldwork data and in-depth interviews with individuals familiar with four Swedish national pension funds. The findings suggest that alternative assets are perceived as important vehicles for improving portfolio diversification, but that the funds’ propensity to invest in them is constrained by information asymmetry and access to alternatives. The findings also indicate that investment restrictions and political considerations have had limited effects on decisions to invest in alternative assets.

论折旧基金对扩大再生产的贡献

折旧基金属于维持简单再生产的补偿基金，但折旧基金又具有扩大再生产的作用。对此问题，马克思和恩格斯进行过论述，并用数学方法作了具体分析。本文在马克思恩格斯论述的基础上，运用数学手段对折旧基金对扩大再生产贡献的数量规律作了进一步的阐述     

对企业提取法定公益金相关法律规定的质疑

我国现行的一些法律、法规在税后利润分配,特别是提取公益金方面,对不同类型的企业作出了差异性较大的规定.尽管它们是在特定的历史条件下制定和实施的,对改革开放和经济发展产生过推动作用.然而,在发展市场经济和与世界经济接轨的今天,它们逐步显现出与时代发展的不相适应性,暴露出种种弊端和问题,需要尽快对相关法律进行修订.     

技术创新资源对技术创新绩效影响的实证研究

本文从创新资源的角度分析了我国52个国家高新区研发经费投入和人员素质水平对技术创新绩效的影响。基于2005-2007年三年的面板数据,我们发现,研发经费投入对高新区技术创新绩效具有正效应,而人员素质水平对其具有负向影响;同时研发经费投入和人员素质水平会交互影响技术创新绩效。     

高校科研经费监管中存在的问题及对策

高校科研经费管理是高校管理的一项重要内容,科研项目经费管理的水平和程度直接制约着科研管理水平。高校科研经费管理面临着科研项目在预算初始就严格细化,预算的刚性过强,阶段性的预算调整申请无人受理,在结题审计时出现差异即被认定违规等问题,科研经费管理过程中忽视了科研活动本身具有的不确定性和不可预见性。因此,有必要构建完整系统的高校科研经费管理体系,提高科研经费的使用效率,积极推动高校科研项目实行全成本核算。     

关于工会经费税务代收的分析

本文对近年来工会经费税务代收的做法进行了较深入的剖析,通过实际调查分析了一些地方具体实行后出现的各种问题.笔者建议,应借鉴国外一些好的做法,使收缴的经费真正用于维护职工群众的合法权益,避免出现工会经费仅仅成为工会机关和干部的福利保障.
