金融结构对产业结构影响的时变特征研究——基于SUR和TVPSS模型的实证检验

金融结构与产业结构的关系一直是学术界的研究热点.文章利用中国1998—2017年的年度数据,构建似不相关回归模型从金融结构规模、效率及深化的角度分析金融结构对产业结构合理化和高级化的影响,建立时变参数状态空间模型描绘了金融结构对产业结构合理化和高级化的动态冲击.实证分析结果表明:金融结构规模提高产业结构合理化水平,促进了产业结构高级化;金融结构效率提高产业结构合理化水平,抑制了产业结构高级化;金融结构深化降低产业结构合理化水平,促进了产业结构高级化.金融结构规模、金融结构效率及金融结构深化对产业结构合理化和高级化的冲击均呈现出时变特征;金融结构对产业结构合理化的影响滞后于其对产业结构高级化的影响.金融结构对产业结构的冲击波幅呈现出前期波动大、后期较为平缓的状态,部分金融结构变量对产业结构的动态冲击呈现出"长尾"现象.当前的中国金融结构已经不适合当前的产业结构,需调整金融结构,以提升产业结构合理化水平和高级化水平.     

Do greater amounts of FDI cause higher pollution levels? Evidence from OECD countries

Using an ARDL model for a panel of 15 OECD countries, this work analyses the impact that FDI, both jointly and by sector, has on CO₂ emissions. The findings reveal that these countries are yielding to the pressure on the trade sector. Unexpectedly, gross fixed capital formation shrink pollution, excluding in the mining sector. With findings supporting the Pollution Haven Hypothesis, policymakers must pay attention to FDI inflows, ensuring that FDI place high importance on the transfer of green technologies to improve the efficiency. These goals could be achieved through an increase in the stringency of environmental laws within the host countries, especially the ones related to FDI.     

FDI,democracy and corruption in Sub-Saharan Africa

This paper investigates the relationship between FDI, democracy and corruption among 30 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) over the period of 1985–2014 to determine whether the ‘helping hand’ or ‘grabbing hand’ hypothesis is most applicable. The results of GMM analysis show that corruption is used by FDI investors to overcome the region’s weak democratic regulatory and institutional status and thus the ‘helping hand’ is more prevalent. However, the results further show that as democratic capital accumulates, this association may outlive its usefulness and thus corruption as a ‘helping hand’ in time becomes a ‘grabbing hand’ instead. These results imply that SSA countries should focus on integrating into the international economy so as to take advantage of existing financial enforcement legislation while reconstructing and strengthening domestic constitutional anti-corruption legislation and institutions.     

Family Characteristics and Mate Selection: Evidence From Computer‐Assisted Dating in Japan

Research on mate selection rarely considers singles' preferences for their future partners' family configurations and experiences. Using online dating records from a matchmaking agency in Japan, a society with a strong emphasis on family and kinship, we examine how singles' responses to date requests correspond to potential mates' family circumstances. Results showed that singles' preferences for potential partners' family characteristics stem from a concern about future obligations toward the partner's family and stereotypes associated with certain family traits. Singles are less likely to accept requests from those from large families, which are seen as traditional. Being from a large family, however, hampers individuals' dating chances more if they are firstborn and have no brothers, two conditions that make them the designated child to care for elderly parents. We also find that Japanese singles seek partners with more of the universally valued family traits rather than traits similar to their own.     

从盖恩斯《刑前一课》看小说视点与叙事层面的建构

盖恩斯在《刑前一课》里从零视点与悬念的建构、外视点与悖论的建构、内视点与意识流、多视点聚焦与立体感等方面来研究小说视点与叙事层面的相互关联。他从零视点的角度建构人称悬念、瞬间悬念和期待性悬念，从外视点的角度设置了主题悖论、言辞悖论和语境悖论。为了克服零视点和外视点描述的单调性和乏味性，盖恩斯把内视点与意识流进行了有机结合，从触景生情式意识流、内心独白式意识流和交织式意识流等方面探究人物心理与社会环境的内在关联。他还在人物评述和场景氛围等方面采用了多视点策略，从多层次和多侧面的角度来聚焦于具体的人物、物件或场景，构建了叙事层面的立体感，拓展了现代黑人小说创作的美学认知空间。     

Conjuncture and cultural reproduction in the process of embedding: social work practice in the context of government purchase of services in China

This paper focuses on the Chinese government’s policy of purchasing social services and discusses how relevant organisations provide social work and develop it within local socio-political and cultural contexts. An ethnographic research method was adopted for the study by the first author while participating in social work development in Q City. We argue that the policy of purchasing social services succeeded in achieving “embedded development” but also created a “conjuncture structure” in cultural reproduction. However, due toprofessional social workers in China have, in practice, passively responded to the conjuncture there has been a failure to reproduce professional values of social work in the Chinese cultural context. Therefore, further development of social work in China needs to strengthen cultural reflection in practical actions, focus on the exploration of cultural connections between social work practice and local communities, and enhance the cultural capacity of social workers in the local cultural context.     

企业社会责任与企业投资水平——基于企业生命周期的视角

基于利益相关者理论、代理理论和社会网络理论，以企业社会责任增加企业的投资能力和提升管理层投资意愿两方面为切入点，通过理论分析与实证检验深入研究企业社会责任对于企业投资的动态影响效应。研究发现:企业社会责任可以显著提升企业的投资水平。在对样本企业划分生命周期后发现，成长期和成熟期的企业履行社会责任能够显著增加企业投资，然而社会责任对企业投资的促进作用在衰退期企业中并不明显。     

政府补偿下基于私人公平偏好的PPP项目投资决策分析

针对PPP （Private-Public Partnership）项目收益的不确定性，引入政府补偿契约问题。考虑私人投资者对政府补偿存在公平偏好倾向，借鉴BO模型的思想，将私人投资要求的特许收益作为其公平参考点，并通过对FS模型加以改进，构建私人公平偏好效用函数，从而给出私人在政府补偿下的投资决策模型。通过模型求最优解和概率分析，探讨私人公平偏好对其最优投资决策的影响，并借助数值分析给予检验。结果表明:当政府补偿使私人感知有利不公平时，私人将选择期望效用最大的最优投资，并随其感知程度的增加而增加；而当政府补偿使私人感知不利不公平时，私人最优投资及可能性将在有限公平偏好内随其感知程度的增加而减小。     

环境规制、政府行为与产业结构升级

传统的政府权衡思路发生转变，环境保护的重要性并不必然劣于对经济增长的追求，聚焦环境规制与产业结构升级的关系，有助于监管当局把握环境政策的经济端反馈效果。采用2004—2015年中国省际面板数据，考虑经济区域异质性和政府行为，细致分析环境规制对产业结构升级的影响，并进一步探讨具体的作用机制。研究发现:环境规制对产业结构升级的影响具有区域特征，东部地区形成了正向促进作用，中部地区为反向抑制作用，西部地区没有影响；地方政府官员晋升压力越大、财政收支压力越小、相对财力越大，环境规制倒逼产业结构升级的效力越大；传导机制方面，佐证了研发创新和对外开放对环境规制优化产业结构的正向传导效应，而FDI流入和投资需求反而具有逆向功效。因此，必须注重政府行为的协调效应，有效把握区域特征，提倡创新和深化改革开放，构建合理的环境规制政策，以实现产业结构优化升级。
