我国进出口许可证管理亟需创新提升

进出口许可证制度具有国际合法性,是各国对外贸易政策的重要组成部分。加强许可证管理有利于我国转变外贸发展方式,加快实现贸易大国向贸易强国转变。因此,我国应主动加强创新,加快推进部门行政规章与国家法律的统一,填补许可证管理真空,健全许可证制度及管理体系,推进贸易标准化、便利化,加快我国贸易的结构调整和转型升级。     

Trade policy and the United States labour market

The United States Government proposed a sweeping review of existing trade deals when the current Administration took office in January 2017. This paper reviews the ongoing changes, and considers the potential impact of two strands of the trade policy debate on the United States labour market. First, we consider policy decisions that may impact the location decision of multinational enterprises, especially within the context of the renegotiation of NAFTA. Second, we review the policy debate related to the steel industry, and the potential channels through which an import tariff on steel imports may impact the labour market.

山东省三峡外迁移民社会适应状况的分析

目的：探讨山东三峡外迁移民社会适应状况及其问题,为促进移民的社会融合提供参考。方法：单因素分析应用χ^2检验、非参数检验;多因素分析应用因子分析。结果：把因子负荷值大于0.7的共7个指标作为分析的典型指标,归纳为经济适应、生活适应和社会交往适应3个方面。结论：山东三峡外迁移民适应状况中,最好的为社会交往适应,最差的是经济适应。因此,增强移民社会适应性的关键是提高其经济适应能力。     

Are skilled contingent workers neglected? Evidence from a cross-sector multiple case study on organizational career management practices

The study aims to discover the extent to which organizations support the careers of skilled contingent workers (SCWs) by providing them with organizational career management (OCM) practices. Analyzing three Belgian companies from different sectors, we find that SCWs do benefit from OCM practices. Such practices cover three dimensions: formalization, individual focus, and differentiation. Subsequently, we explain the three dimensions, respectively, through three contextual variables: the legal and regulatory framework, companies’ human resource management (HRM) configurations and the value of human capital, and the roles of third-party actors. The association of the variables with such dimensions enables the development of three research propositions. This study paves the way for additional research on SCWs and their careers as well as incorporating this population in HRM strategies, including that of OCM practices.     

Intermediaries and destination reputations: explaining flows of skilled migration

ABSTRACT

Governments have increasingly commercialised their migration services, which has fuelled a mushrooming migration industry creating a ripe context for the central role of migration intermediaries. It is therefore timely to explore the new actors responsible for shaping contemporary flows of skilled migration. Drawing on the work of existing studies and a wide variety of secondary data, we argue that the range of intermediaries who have emerged as a result of the commercialisation process, have been poorly understood in the skilled migration and migration industries literatures. Discussion of these actors sheds important theoretical light on how intermediaries, destination reputations and skilled migration flows intersect. Accordingly, we outline six propositions that identify the interconnected relationship between migration intermediaries, reputation and skilled migration flows.     

Enclaves, language, and the location choice of migrants

Empirical studies in the migration literature have shown that enclaves (networks) negatively affect the language proficiency of migrants. Most of these studies do not address the choice of location as a function of language skills. Using data on Mexican migration to the US, we show that migrants choose smaller networks as their English language proficiency improves.

Aliternative methods for estimating long-run responses with applications to australian import demand

This paper compares and contrasts a number of single-equation and systems estimators of long-run responses with application to a three-variable import demand model. Two variants of Box and Tiao's (1977) canonical estimator are developed and associated tests for the number of cointegrating vectors are introduced. A simulation study indicates that, while both Box-Tiao estimators have empirical distributions with fatter tails than the normal, there is evidence that the incidence of extreme values is even greater with Johansen's (1988) ML procedure.

山东利用外资的质量和水平分析——基于FDI与进出口贸易关联性视角

利用外资的质量和水平应该主要通过FDI对产业升级和经济发展的贡献来体现。通过比较沿海主要省份FDI数据,指出山东利用外资的质量和水平和山东在全国经济中的地位相比很不相称,远远落后于广东、江苏和浙江,这种差异导致了省进出口贸易的差异。进一步比较山东省内17市FDI情况,选取1998--2008年期间山东17个市实际利用FDI与进出口贸易额数据进行计量分析,验证了FDI与进出口贸易存在高度关联性。据此分析山东FDI在总体规模、技术含量、行业与来源结构、区域分布、外溢效应等方面存在的问题,并提出相应对策建议。
