Effective Utilization of Government-Provided CTI by Small Businesses within the Defense Industrial Base

There are two broad objectives of the research reported in this paper. First, we assess whether government-provided cyber threat intelligence (CTI) is helpful in preventing, or responding to, cyber-attacks among small businesses within the U.S. Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Second, we identify ways of improving the effectiveness of government-provided CTI to small businesses within the DIB. Based on a questionnaire-based survey, our findings suggest that government-provided CTI helps businesses within the DIB in preventing, or responding to, cyber-attacks providing a firm is familiar with the CTI. Unfortunately, a large percentage of small firms are not familiar with the government-provided CTI feeds and consequently are not utilizing the CTI. This latter situation is largely due to financial constraints confronting small businesses that prevent firms from having the wherewithal necessary to effectively utilize the government-provided CTI. However, we found a significant positive association between a firm’s familiarity with the government-provided CTI and whether a firm is being periodically reviewed by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) or is compliant with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program. The findings from our study also show that the participating firms believe that external cyber threats are more likely to be the cause of a future cybersecurity breach than internal cybersecurity threats. Finally, our study found that the portion of the IT budget that small businesses within the DIB spend on cybersecurity-related activities is dependent on the perception that a firm would be the target of an external cyber-attack.

Global climate governance in the new era:Potential of business actors and technological innovation

The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC)has established a climate governance mechanism with intergovernmental negotiations among sovereign states as the core.After nearly 30 years,progress in combating climate change has remained very modest compared with the numerous challenges raised.The global climate governance has entered a new era,such that incorporating other factors into the governance process is timely.Therefore,the study emphasizes technological innovation and business actors in climate governance after the Paris Agreement.Technological innovation can provide effective solutions for combating climate change and has been a crucial driving force in climate governance's evolution.Business actors are significant because they are actual implementers of technological innovation and can apply different types of power and influence on climate governance processes at various levels.In summary,business actors,as well as technological innovation in line with governments and the UNFCCC governance frameworks,create a new potential for climate governance in the new era.

New Agricultural Business Entity and Rural Governance Body against the Backdrop of Rural Revitalization

The new agricultural business entity is the representative of the "new" productive forces in the countryside. Based on the analysis of the connotation of the new agricultural business entity, this paper further explains the new characteristics of the new agricultural business entity, such as internationalization, informatization, greening, ecologization, and organizational integration. The new type of agricultural business entity is the innovation of socialist agricultural management system with Chinese characteristics, which has brought new institutional performance to agricultural and rural modernization, and caused changes in the rural governance body and its structure in terms of production relations. The traditional basic subject "villager" has changed to "professional farmer", "homogenization" to "heterogeneity" and "diversification", and governance pattern to "unitary leading and pluralistic participation". These developments and changes reflect the dialectical relationship movement between rural productive forces and production relations, economic base and superstructure. New agricultural business entity, rural governance body and their structural system have become an important basis for rural revitalization.

International Context and China's Government-Business Relations

This paper investigates China's government-business relations in an international context. In general, it argues that since China was incorporated into the European international system in the mid-19 th century, the motive of survival and competition has gradually come to dominate the political practices of the Chinese elites, and this is especially the case since 1949 when an autonomous state was finally created. Furthermore, a particular international context often induces a corresponding state reaction. The Cold War structure and conditions of late development pressed the Chinese state to centralize its power and engage in forceful industrialization through a central planning system. This then created an extreme form of governmentbusiness relations, with overwhelming power residing with the former. Later on, after China moved closer to the United States in terms of world politics, and when the Cold War structure was replaced by a multi-polar structure characterized by American hegemony, coinciding with the rapid expansion of the world market and the change of development conditions to compressed development, the Chinese state engaged in economic liberalization and decentralization. This resulted in a substantial modification of the power balance between the state and business, and gave rise to various forms of government-business relations.

政府数字治理、营商环境与城市创新

文章基于2017—2020年中国272个地级及以上城市的样本数据,运用面板固定效应模型与空间杜宾模型实证分析了政府数字治理对城市创新的影响效果、作用机理和空间溢出效应。研究发现:政府数字治理对城市营商环境与创新产出均具有正向促进作用;政府数字治理可以通过营商环境的间接作用对城市创新产生正向影响;考虑空间效应后,政府数字治理对城市创新的空间溢出效应为正却不显著,表明目前政府数字治理对城市创新发展的正向溢出效应较为有限。

亲清政商关系与企业数字化转型

在数字经济时代,数字化转型是企业实现高质量发展的内生要求,而企业的数字化转型离不开政府的引导和支持。基于此,分析检验当前亲清政商关系构建会如何影响微观企业的数字化转型,有助于企业实现高质量发展。利用2016—2020年中国A股传统行业上市公司的年度观察数据研究发现,亲清政商关系对企业数字化转型具有显著的正向影响,即在政商关系越亲清的地区,企业的数字化水平越高,并且这种正向影响在非国有企业中表现得更强。进一步的机制检验表明,亲清政商关系主要通过“市场导向效应”和“资源供给效应”对企业数字化转型发挥积极的促进作用。更具有启发意义的是,主要是政商关系的“亲近化”而不是政商关系的“清白化”助力了企业的数字化转型,而且亲清政商关系能够降低传统政治关联的相关影响。

Optimization of Rural Governance Structure under the Development of New Agricultural Management Entities

The positive impact of the development of new agricultural business entities and their institutional systems on the optimization of rural governance structures can be examined from various perspectives,including the state,market,rural society,urban-rural relations,and grassroots governance structure in rural communities.The development of these new agricultural business entities has not only redefined but also restructured the power distribution and governance patterns in rural developing countries,markets,and villages.The rural social order has evolved into a ternary mutual structure governance pattern,often referred to as the“state market rural”model.This transformation has prompted adjustments in the national economic and social policy structure and management systems at both macro and micro levels.It has led to the reshaping of power dynamics,benefit distribution,and governance structures in both urban and rural areas,resulting in significant changes to the economic and social fabric of rural regions.Furthermore,the grassroots governance structure in rural society,characterized by“township governance and village governance,”is undergoing continuous development and improvement.This transition is marked by a shift towards a collaborative governance structure that encourages diverse participation.Building upon the aforementioned optimizations,the rural governance structure now exhibits new characteristics.These include a more extensive and diverse range of rural governance mechanisms,increased openness in governance processes,and a heightened synergy among various governance mechanisms.This dynamic evolution reflects a richer,more diverse,and more open approach to rural governance,fostering a stronger collaborative effort in the pursuit of effective governance.

税收营商环境优化与企业全要素生产率——来自税务系统“放管服”改革的经验证据

优化税收营商环境不仅是提高企业生产效率和推动企业转型升级的重要战略举措,而且对实现经济高质量发展具有十分重要的现实意义。本文基于2013—2020年A股上市公司数据,并借助税务系统“放管服”改革试点这一准自然实验,构建多期双重差分模型,实证考察了税收营商环境优化对企业全要素生产率的影响。研究表明,税务系统“放管服”改革对企业全要素生产率具有显著的正向影响,且该结论经过一系列稳健性检验依然成立。机制检验结果显示,税收营商环境优化主要是通过降低交易成本水平、提升资源配置效率以及鼓励技术创新来提高企业全要素生产率。异质性分析表明,对于中西部地区企业、非国有企业、环境不确定性高企业和成熟期企业,税收营商环境优化对企业全要素生产率的促进作用相对更加突出。随后的进一步分析表明,税收营商环境优化在提升企业全要素生产率的同时显著促进了企业经营规模扩大和产业链扩张。本文以上研究结论不仅能使我们更好地认识税收营商环境优化的经济效应,更是为培育有利于激发市场主体活力及推动企业提质增效的税收营商环境提供了经验证据与有益启示。

营商环境法治化三维论

市场秩序稳定公平、规则透明公开、法治公正、投资可预期的营商环境,是投资主体实现投资自由便利制度的核心价值所现。推进政府职能新定位,强化“放管服”,放宽市场主体准入等,是优化营商环境的基本环节。自由度是主体最活跃的动力源和策源地,政府确保“中立地位”,促进主体公平竞争和实施反垄断,维护所有市场主体都享有平等、自由、公平竞争机制。便利度是彰显政府向市场主体提供快速实现自由度的便捷化、快捷化和效率化的社会效应程度,核心在于强化市场主体获得从商活动权利能力的快捷、简便、高效行为状态等。创新度是市场主体实现自由度与便利度融合发展处于动态的追求状态,显现了优化营商环境持续创新的法治动力。政府干预与市场调节有机协同调控,做大主体自由度,提升主体更多便利度,促进营商环境的持续创新优化。自由、便利与创新,已成为优化营商环境的路径选择,创新成为优化营商环境的否定之否定规律。自由度、便利度与创新度的辩证关系价值,成为引导探寻优化营商环境的立足点、突破点和发力点。

营商环境治理效能提升的制度优势支撑:一个基于政策过程理论的框架建构

我国商业数据跨境流动合规治理的问题与完善

数据经济发展全球化背景下,跨境数据传输愈发频繁,商业数据跨境流动在促进经济增长的同时,也引发了各国对个人隐私、国家安全的担忧。商业数据丰富的内涵特征加之外部环境的不确定性决定了商业数据跨境流动合规治理的必要性。应对现阶段在商业数据跨境流动治理方面存在的立法分散和企业合规难问题,我国应当完善商业数据合规法律体系,为企业商业数据跨境流动合规提供明确指引;设立专门、独立的数据跨境监督机构;构建商业数据跨境流动综合治理体系,为商业数据的跨境流动的监管提供切实保障;积极与世界主要国家和地区达成双边或多边合作,推动形成全球数据治理统一标准,减轻企业双向合规的压力。
