Effects of China's Administrative Approval Reforms on Transaction Cost and Economic Growth

China＇s economic growth miracle despite complicated administrative approval formalities prompted us to raise the following question： ls it true that reforming administrative approval will promote economic growth？ Based on our analysis on market entry, we discovered that reforming administrative approval will spur economic growth by reducing transaction cost for firms. Administrative approval may suppress social cost and propel China＇s economic growth; China＇s gradualist approval reforms may indeed propel economic growth by reducing transaction cost for firms. With the data of prefecture-level cities during 2000-2013 and data of companies listed on the SME board during 2010-2014, we tested the effects of approval reforms on economic growth and on transaction cost, and employed instrumental variable and PSM for the treatment of the endogeneity problem - all these tests led to robust and consistent results. Moreover, we discovered that difference in government policy implementation in the approval process is the root cause of corruption and rent seeking.

Japanese Social Mentality and the Change in the Approval Rates of the Abe Administration

From June to July of 2017, the approval rates of the Abe administration fell sharply, in stark contrast to the long-term stability since 2012. The stability of Abe＇ s approval rates originated from the people＇ s negative support for him and their opposition to the Security Laws and other important events as well as the scandals under his administration. The opposition and negative support originated from the people＇s ＂acquired helplessness＂, ＂Abenomics＂, the sharp drop in the opporttmity costs of voting and other conditions. The sudden fall of Abe＇ s approval rates was not due to the change in the aforementioned conditions, rather because of the collapse of his image including personality owing to Abe＇ s perceived arrogance and his estrangement with the people. In the context of the temporary stabilization of approval rates, Abe dissolved the House of Representatives ahead of schedule and held a general election, taking full advantage of the internal strife between the opposition parties, to achieve his goal of ruling until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. His victory in the recent election does not accurately demonstrate that Abe is completely immune to negative impact, thus he will to use the Korean Peninsula crisis and other issues to demonstrate his ability of safeguarding Japan＇s security, seek reconstruction of his image, and further enhance his approval rate to stabilize his administration.

Predictors of Performance of the Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific （MAAP） in the OIC Navigational Watch Licensure Examination

Abstract： The study aimed to assess the predictors of performance administered by the Philippine Regulation Commission （PRC） in the licensure examination of Maritime Academy of Asia and the Pacific （MAAP） for Academic Year 2007-2011. Specifically, this also aimed to answer the following questions： demographic profile of the maritime graduates, the college related factors, administrative related factors, the level of scholastic achievement of the graduates, and the performance of the graduates in the licensure examination. A total of one hundred seventy three （173） graduates of MAAP from Class 2007-2011 were utilized as the respondents for the study. The study found out that the results of pre board examination and scholastic achievement of the graduates had significant effect on the performance of the graduates in O.I.C Navigational Watch Licensure Examination. Other variables found out to have no significant effect on the result of the licensure examination of the graduates. Therefore, the null hypotheses that the demographic profile of the graduates, college related factors, and administrative related factors has no significant effect on scholastic the achievement of the students were accepted. However, the null hypothesis that scholastic achievement of the students has no significant effect on the performance in maritime licensure examination was rejected. The same way, the null hypothesis that the demographic profile of the graduates, college related factors and the administrative related factors has no significant effect on the performance in Officer in Charge--Navigational Watch licensure Examination were accepted.

Registration system reform and initial public offering ownership preference:Evidence from China

Whether registration system reform(RSR)can curb administrative intervention and create a fair market environment has long been a concern in China.We explore this issue from the perspective of the initial public offering(IPO)preference based on the entropy balancing method,and findings are as follows.First,an IPO ownership preference exists under approval system.That is,state-owned enterprises(SOEs)are more likely than private enterprises to obtain IPO approval.However,RSR significantly changes this preference,especially for non-politically connected private enterprises.Second,the post-IPO market performance of SOEs is inferior to that of private enterprises under approval system,thus excluding the view that approval is prioritized for SOEs because of superior performance.Third,compared with SOEs,private enterprises are more likely to switch the issuance system from approval system to registration system;this change makes it easier for them to obtain IPO approval,indicating that private enterprise owners perceive the registration channel to be fairer.Fourth,the effect of RSR on IPO ownership preference mainly occurs in companies in three major urban agglomerations in China—the Pearl River Delta,the Yangtze River Delta,and the Beijing–Tian jin–Hebei region—and in technology-intensive industries.Collectively,our findings reveal that RSR cultivates a fairer IPO approval process.

The Study of Legal Property of Household Registration System in Our Country

From ＂the case that three girls have some fate but have different value＂ to ＂the case that Hai Cheng took a police substation to court with three times＂, currently the household registration system of our country not only plays the role of account registration and account management, but also undertakes the limitation of migration movement, and for the additional functions of the lowest life guarantee, social insurance, compulsory education, employment and other social security benefits, it also makes a difference between local registered permanent residence habitant and nonlocal registered permanent residence habitant. Just because of these additional functions, the household registration system has become complicated, which originally has clear nature. Therefore, only it is necessary to define the legal nature of our country＇s current household registration system, can executive power be supervised and the rights of citizens get relief.

论行政复议的适当性审查

合法性审查、适当性审查是行政复议机关审查被申请行政行为的两个审查标准。适当性审查与行政诉讼合理性审查表述不同但内容一致。合法性审查是形式合法性审查,适当性审查是实质合法性审查,因此,适当性审查与合法性审查构成了一种从“从形式违法到实质违法”的双阶审查方法。在形式合法性已经确认的前提下,针对被申请行政行为的内容,行政复议机关可以从合目的性、结果可接受性和利益权衡三个面向作适当性审查。

政策试验的议题情景与多重功能——基于相对集中行政许可权改革的考察

政策试验是中国改革的常用话语叙事,各级领导人对政策创新的试验路径均给予肯定。政策试验通过局部地区的试点开展,构建议题学习网络,增进多主体互动,利用各方知识开展认知学习,从而推进政策创新与治理变革。从不确定性的视角,提出政策试验的“议题情景—功能定位”分析模型,区分政策试验的四种类型,即生成型试验、测试型试验、倡导型试验、拓展型试验,并分析不同试验类型的功能定位。生成型试验适用于深度不确定性的决策议题,政策干预的选项及价值具有不确定性,决策系统提出概念性质的愿景目标,传递出新信号,鼓励地方政府开展创新探索,将愿景目标转化为操作方案;测试型试验适用于政策干预的内部效度具有不确定性、决策系统已经确定的政策选项,通过局部试点进行评估学习;倡导型试验针对外部效度的不确定性,通过在更大范围内开展试验,从差异性中总结经验教训,进一步校准政策工具;拓展型试验针对内部和外部效度已经得到检验的政策工具,决策系统通过议题再建构,将新理念、新工具拓展到更广泛的应用场景。考察相对集中行政许可权的改革历程发现,相对集中行政许可权改革经历了地方创新、多方参与、扩大试点、议题再定位的演化历程,发挥了方案生成、效果检验、经验推广、治理变革等多重功能,这些功能互相衔接,共同构成了政策试验的功能图谱。在改革过程中,多方主体之间具有持续的互动学习,经由概念学习将模糊目标转化为创新方案,经由评估学习、示范学习、迭代学习,将地方探索的成功经验纳入国家政策。研究表明,政策议题的不确定性对试验模式的选择具有直接影响,政策试验的组织模式及功能定位在不同阶段具有差异性。

行政审批局外部协调难题及其影响因素分析——基于SAFRSC框架的实证研究

行政审批局是优化组织流程与提高审批效率的重要设计,但也面临着外部协调难题。通过引入协调成本概念,构建“协调规模—权威关系—业务关联—责任界定—标准化—组织文化”六维SAFRSC分析框架,从组织学视角探源行政审批局的外部协调难题及其六大影响因素。在此基础上,基于DEMATEL法发掘六大影响因素的重要性程度及因素间关系:业务关联、协调规模、责任界定和权威关系的影响最大,并与其他因素相互作用;标准化、组织文化两项因素作用较小,更容易受其他因素的影响。为此,需要有针对性地从理顺管理体制与厘清职能分工、明确权责与加大问责、标准化建设与跨时空协调、加强冲突管理与完善合作机制等方面破解行政审批局外部协调难题。

条块互动视角下基层职能整合的实现逻辑——基于S市G街道“三整合”改革的实证分析

在基层治理领域,条线属事与街镇属地之间的权责不对等,制约着基层治理效能的提升。面对基于专业化分工带来的职能碎片化问题,基层治权在职能部门与基层政府间寻求平衡、推进条块部门联合行动,是推进基层职能有效整合、提升基层治理能力的有益探索。从S市G街道“三整合”改革案例切入,梳理当地在行政审批、综合执法、城市管理三个重点领域的改革措施,探究基层治理中条块联合的实现机制。研究发现,基层条块互动并非简单的“条条带动块块”或“块块调动条条”的联动模式,而是在信息机制、压力机制和权责机制共同调节下形成了一种动态化、长效化的条块配合机制。在基层职能整合场域探索条块互动新机制,为深化条块关系提供了更广阔的视野。

告知承诺制改革进路研究

告知承诺制以事前承诺代替事前审批,合理运用信用监管简化审批流程、规制政府权力、放宽准入门槛和降低制度性交易成本,有助于营造市场化、法治化、国际化和便利化营商环境。目前,我国告知承诺制改革主要围绕行政审批集成化、承诺事项清单化、信用监管体系化等方面进行渐进式试点探索,但在制度体系、信息技术、监管工具、联合奖惩等领域仍存在系统性缺失难题,因此,应加快告知承诺制改革的整体性推进。告知承诺制改革系统整合、整体推进的实现路径主要包括以制度整合完善政策体系、以机制创新深化“一件事”改革、以监管协调保障履约践诺、以责任明晰健全联合奖惩、以主体合作推动多元协同治理等。
