Philippine NGOs and Multistakeholder Partnerships: Three Case Studies

This paper discusses an emerging role for Philippine NGOs—building and maintaining intersectoral cooperation among various sectors of society to tackle key issues like agricultural development, HIV/AIDS, and agrarian reform. The three case studies elaborated in the paper show that Philippine NGOs play important intermediary and bridging functions crucial for the success of multistakeholder partnerships. NGOs are well equipped for this because of their middle-class and professional nature and because of various characteristics like autonomy, flexibility, and the ability to mobilize resources.     

International Tax Competition: A Case for International Cooperation in Globalization

The liberalization of international financial flows and foreign direct investment has induced countries to use diverse measures to attract inflow of foreign capital and foreign direct investment, which is expected to have a positive effect on the growth of GDP and thus a positive effect on social welfare. Tax exemption, reduction of tax rate, tax holiday, or diverse subsidies are some of the most important measures used. In this paper we study international tax cooperation, i.e., countries change and especially reduce tax rate for corporate income or for asset revenues to attract inflow of foreign direct investment. Both theoretical and empirical studies have shown the sensibility of foreign direct investment decision with respect to tax rate differences between home countries and host countries. In general, more inflow of foreign direct investment can be expected if the tax rate of the home country is lower than that of foreign countries. This is the main reason for international tax cooperation. In this paper we propose a simple model to prove the sub-optimal Nash non cooperative solution in a two-country tax-competition game. The model shows that international tax cooperation can improve welfare of the participating countries. How to reach a cooperative solution for an international tax competition game (ITCG) is therefore an important issue for further discussions and studies. International institutions can play a crucial role to reach international tax cooperation or international tax harmonization.     

组建科研团队提升地方高校科技实力

目的/意义习近平总书记在哲学社会科学工作座谈会上发表的重要讲话推动了哲学社会科学进入到新的发展阶段,哲学社会科学创新团队的发展是繁荣哲学社会科学、推动社会进步发展的重要力量,充分发挥哲学社会科学创新团队在社会经济建设中的积极作用,对于实现创新型国家战略具有重要意义。设计/方法在对哲学社会科学创新团队特征进行分析的基础上,界定了其内在合作成效的内涵,之后运用指示优先级的程式化(Priority-Pointing Procedure)方法,对影响社会科学类创新团队内在合作的因素进行初步识别与集成,进而基于DEMATEL方法对影响因素的相关性予以深入分析,探索其内在机理。结论/发现对哲学社会科学创新团队内在合作成效影响因素机理进行分析,得出影响哲学社会科学创新团队内在合作成效的最终原因因素为学科交叉融合、沟通与冲突管理,而个体满意度及未来发展、成果分配及应用是最终结果因素,并提出哲学社会科学创新团队内在合作成效提升的途径。     

碳限额与交易约束下的企业制造/再制造生产决策

目的/意义随着再制造经济效益和环境效益凸显,越来越多的企业进入再制造领域,与原制造商进行竞争或合作。考虑到碳排放约束,企业面临的生产决策更加复杂。设计/方法基于消费者对新产品和再制造产品的异质需求,构建了制造商和再制造商之间的竞争与合作博弈模型,探讨碳税对制造/再制造决策的影响;结合数值仿真,分析了竞争与合作模式下碳税对企业利润及碳排放的影响。结论/发现不同模式下,企业可根据再制造产品碳排放强度选择不同的生产策略;碳税总是会抑制新产品的生产,当再制造产品碳排放强度低于一定数值时,碳税会促进再制造产品的生产;再制造商竞争会挤兑新产品,使制造商利润减少,再制造门槛提高;当碳税不超过一定限度时,合作模式能够实现经济效益和环境效益双赢。     

产学研结合与社会发展

产学研结合不仅是一种教育模式,更是一种科技创新转换和社会发展模式。产学研结合研究结合国外经营,有些模式可以借鉴,但基于中国自己国情,中国有自己不同模式。基于此,对于产学研结合在中国发展的未来给以展望,知识产权保护,高校多元治理,充分调动各方积极性,联合高校政府企业社会各方进行跨区域跨学科的综合合作。     

Identifying Preferences for Conditional Cooperation Using Individual Beliefs

The relationship between contributions and elicited beliefs in a repeated two-person public good experiment is modeled with the help of a parsimounious random-utility function that allows for conditionally cooperative, opportunistic, and altruistic patterns of behavior. Under standard assumptions, a latent-class mixed logit specification with three sub-populations is shown to capture well heterogeneity in individual contribution levels over time, while also accomodating for different degrees of heteroscedasticity. The estimation results are consistent with the conjecture that the majority of players in public goods games are strongly conditional cooperators, with smaller fractions of the population leaning to opportunistic or altruistic behavior.     

对高校艺术类招生专业考试工作的探讨

高校艺术类招生自行组织的专业考试 ,由于组织机制欠缺、管理措施不力 ,实施过程中暴露出很多问题。为此 ,需端正高校艺术类招生指导思想 ;不同层次高校艺术类专业应采取不同的专业考试方式 ;制定严密的管理办法 ,对艺术类招生专业考试实行分类管理 ;在招生专业考试过程中还应自觉接受社会监督 ,发挥政府调控职能。     

振兴东北老工业基地必须造就东北亚区域经济合作关系

全面启动东亚大市场,加大环渤海与图们江地区开发力度,从区域性多国合作起步走向国际市场,以市场经济先导区拉动“大大连”建设,都必须从实际出发造就东北亚区域经济合作关系。只有注重在内部与外部的结合上培育出成长因素和良好氛围,才能有效地加快东北老工业基地的振兴进程,使之成长为东北亚区域的新兴工业基地、现代装备基地、生态农业基地和农畜产品出口加工基地。     

全球治理视角下中国与中亚地区绿色合作:现状与前景

当今世界正面临复杂的全球治理危机,其中生态环境危机已成为全世界国家和人民发展的共同威胁。在国际政治和经济秩序都发生深刻变化的背景下,中国提出旨在实现人类低碳和可持续发展的绿色"一带一路"倡议。绿色"一带一路"作为全球治理的新型公共产品,是对全球治理理念的改革性创新,是对人类生存与发展问题的全面而深刻的思考与探索,也是中国与中亚国家推进"一带一路"合作的重要路径。中国与中亚地区绿色合作起步不早,也面临诸多问题,了解合作现状与现存问题有利于中国在推进绿色"一带一路"合作时,实现统筹安排和精准定位,切实提高合作效率,提高域内国家人民的福祉,最终实现构建人类命运共同体的最终目标。
