Renminbi appreciation and Global Value Chains in China: exploring the linkages

China has experienced a rapid integration into Global Value Chains and a decade long appreciation of its exchange rate. However, these trends have been analysed largely in isolation from each other. In this paper, we explore the linkages between the two based on interviews with a sample of firms in Jiangsu Province. We show (1) how the distribution of the costs and benefits of exchange rate appreciation depends on the power hierarchies between firms in GVCs; (2) how exchange rate changes are important drivers of upgrading and even downgrading in GVCs; and (3) that the firm heterogeneity evident in GVCs provides additional insights into the politics of exchange rate determination in China.

试论人民币升值的原因、影响及其国际化

金融危机以来,在世界经济的不稳定性和国内因素的交互影响下,人民币升值的压力加大。人民币升值将对我国的进出口贸易产生深远影响,这一趋势将推动人民币走向国际化,并使其成为国际储备货币的可能性和现实性进一步增强。人民币走向国际化能增强我国在国际货币体系中的话语权,有利于维护我国的贸易平衡和汇率稳定。但国际化进程还需要很长的时期,加快我国经济发展和综合国力提升,进一步完善金融体制是当前最紧迫的任务。     

Post‐Secularism and the European Court of Human Rights: Or How God Never Really Went Away

This article analyses the critical yet elusive notions of state neutrality, secularism and religious coercion under the European Convention in light of the European Court of Human Rights recent decision in Lautsi v Italy. We contend that the real concern in the Italian crucifix case was not the infringement of the school pupils’ religious freedom nor the proselytising or coercive effect of the ‘passive’ religious symbols. Rather, opponents of the longstanding symbols were animated by desire for strict religious equality, a notion that is, correctly in our view, not guaranteed under the Convention. Lautsi has significantly cleared the conceptual undergrowth surrounding state neutrality and the varieties of secularism, reined in the elastic notion of religious coercion and eschewed attempts to squeeze the constitutional diversity of European religion‐state frameworks into a strict American‐style separationist mould. The Convention jurisprudence on freedom of religion has finally come of age.     

“审美关照”的实践语境与社会管理创新

审美关照可以强化人们在市场经济活动中的适宜感和审美感受,是一种在功利活动中非功利的、指向更深层的、精神上的情感体验,表达对人的"终极关怀"。中国特色社会主义建设进程中的审美关照,有一个基本着眼点,就是关照普通人的生命际遇,维护和促进其生命历程的健康、美满。对人们生存样态的整体关照,既维护了广大人民群众的安全利益,又强化了社会管理的职能,促使少数社会治安高危人员避免走上危害社会的道路,对这些人成为自食其力的劳动者能够起到重要的匡正作用。从提高办事效率的视角进行审美关照,为每个人的全面发展创造条件,群众满意率则会不断攀升。

我国外汇政策稳定物价的效果分析

长期以来,我国执行"半开半闭"的外汇政策。这意味着,汇率等外汇政策对国内物价的作用机理和作用效果在我国的表现将明显区别于任何开放经济体。研究发现,在影响国内物价的稳定性方面,汇率政策和外汇储备政策存在相互干扰;在影响国内物价稳定性方面,外汇储备政策的影响程度远高于汇率政策,且影响时间长于汇率政策;我国外汇储备的增加在较大程度上冲抵了人民币升值对国内物价的作用效果;过高的外汇储备甚至会扭转人民币升值对国内物价的作用方向。研究结果表明,人民币升值无助于降低国内物价,因而应通过改变长期以来单纯追求外汇储备增长的政策,有效降低现有的外汇储备政策对国内物价稳定性带来的负面冲击。
