房地产市场中政府的责任与作用

在我国,能够大幅度影响房屋价格的主要因素是政府的政策行为。由于地方政府“成本推进”和中央政策“需求拉上”的共同作用,导致了近几年房屋价格大幅度上升。政府有责任将房屋价格降至合理水平,这取决于中央政府的决心和能力。关键的措施是规范地方政府的牟利行为,并通过提高银行的存款利率、抑制通货膨胀以及规范上市公司的分配行为,使居民的储蓄和投资资金不被蚕食。

Study of an economic issue as a possible indicator of suicide risk: a discussion of stock prices and suicide

There were more than 30,000 suicides in 1998 in Japan, and since then, the numbers have remained high. In 2009, the number of suicides per a day was c. 90. This phenomenon constitutes a major social problem. One of the major reasons for the rapid increase in the number of suicides appears to be the worsening economic problems. It is therefore necessary to research the relationship between economic issues and suicide. In this study, we examined the relationship between the value of the Nikkei Stock Average and suicide rates in Japan. The value of the Nikkei Stock Average may be related to suicide among men. On the basis of the results, relevant researchers and organizations should understand the factors that relate to suicide to better carry out specific suicide prevention measures.

产业变动的一般规律与房地产业发展

保持房地产业在较长时期内持续发展对于拉长经济增长周期具有十分重要的意义。当前我国房地产业的发展符合产业变动的一般规律,制度变迁以及制度变迁过程中存在的制度缺失和管理不到位是导致房地产市场扭曲的主要因素。彻底解决房地产业结构失衡并不能完全寄希望于宏观调控,关键在于实行两级政府联动,强化宏观管理和微观管理。其长效机制还在于构建和谐的城市体系和合理的房价梯度。

政府购买冲击与商业周期——一个基于Keynes波动理论与真实商业周期理论的比较分析

基于IS-LM模型的传统凯恩斯波动理论主要从需求的角度用乘数理论分析政府购买冲击对宏观经济变量的静态影响;基本的真实商业周期理论则主要从供给的角度用财富效应和劳动力跨期替代理论分析政府购买冲击对消费、劳动投入、总产出等宏观经济变量的动态效应。不同的动态随机一般均衡模型得出的校准结论常常大相径庭。Keynes波动理论和真实商业周期理论对政府购买的消费效应持有截然不同的观点。
