Ecological Economic Analysis of the Ecological Turn in the Development of Modern Civilization

During the primitive civilization and agricultural civilization periods,the functions and structures of various elements within the ecological and economic system were able to develop synergistically.But humans were always passive in the face of nature and cannot yet break free from its constraints and oppression.During the period of industrial civilization,the contradiction between the unlimited expansion of economic system demand and the relative reduction of ecosystem supply became increasingly severe.Its development model had obvious non ecological economic characteristics,which posed a great threat to the sustainable development of human society.The ecological turn in the development of human civilization is an inevitable trend,and the gradual replacement of industrial civilization by ecological civilization will become an objective fact.Ecological civilization has overcome the non ecological economic nature of industrial civilization and established an ecological economic operation mode that promotes and transforms economic and ecological systems in both directions.It has achieved a perfect combination of ecological operation of social and economic systems and economic operation of natural ecosystems,and harmonious,coordinated,and win-win development of economic society and natural ecology.

Global Economic Scene Vs. Economic Security at the Turn of Century

Financial Power and Its Strategic Significance A financial crisis hit Asia in 1997. It was both a predatory monetary war a-gainst developing nations launched by the hedge funds and a scramble for fi-nancial supremacy among the monopoly capital in America, Western Eu-rope and Japan. Indeed, the term "Asian financial crisis" is a misnomer. It can nolonger faithfully reflect the scope and essence of the financial storm. Over the pasttwo years, financial turmoil has visited upon Russia and Brazil and has shaken theentire capitalist economic system. In this crash, while Asian nations have

Evolution and Prospects of Russia’s“Turn to the East”

With the escalation of the Ukraine crisis,Russia’s policy of“Turn to the East”has evolved into“Turn to the Non-West”at an accelerated pace.Involving both a shift of focus in diplomacy and economics and the“de-Westernization”in financial and ideological areas,it has become a strategy to break through Western diplomatic and economic blockade.The transition will continue in the medium term,but adjustments or twists and turns are likely under the influence of internal and external factors.

Status, Transition, and Impact of the Yoon Suk-yeol Administration’s Trade Policy with China

China is Korea’s main trade partner in East Asia and one of its key economic and trade partners worldwide.The two countries have complementary industrial structure and a long history of trade exchanges.However,against the backdrop of a return to global trade protectionism and the politicization of international affairs with Yoon Suk-yeol coming to power,South Korea has undertaken a strong trade shift toward the United States(US),triggering a change in the pattern of economic cooperation in East Asia and challenging the regional trade structure.A review of the trade policy agenda of the Yoon Suk-yeol administration toward the US and China,along with a comparative review of Korea’s foreign trade stance under Moon Jae-in,allows for an analysis of the turnaround and characteristics of Yoon’s trade policy toward China during his tenure.The implications for global trade governance and regional security are further analyzed with an aim of finding a Nash equilibrium in trade cooperation among East Asian countries.

Factors Contributing to the Effectiveness of a University-Industry Partnership

The university-industry engagement serves as a cooperation that gives benefit to both parties. The universities and the industries are dependent on each other as the university＇s role is to produce human capitals to work at the industries, and the industries on the other hand need human capitals to run their business. However, this kind of dependency could raise issues that cause difficulties for both parties if the relationship is not checked and balanced from time to time. The universities should be aware of the industries＇ changing needs as time changes. Hence the programmes that they offer to their students should take into consideration the industries＇ needs. This research was to identify the current practices of the university-industry engagement, to appraise the factors contributing to the effectiveness of the university-industry engagement involving UMP （Universiti Malaysia Pahang） and the identified industries, to map the prospects and challenges that UMP faces in the university-industry engagement and to propose the best approaches that the university could engage to provide high class human capitals to work at the industries. This research employed a survey in the form of interviews and expert group discussions. The results show that there is still a mismatch in the university-industry engagement. The representatives from the industries felt that they should be actively involved in the university＇s activities, especially in teaching, learning and industrial training for students. They had given a few suggestions to be forwarded to the university

Does health economics research align with the disease burden in the Middle East and North Africa region?A systematic review of economic evaluation studies on public health interventions

Introduction:Economic evaluation studies demonstrate the value of money in health interventions and enhance the efficiency of the healthcare system.Therefore,this study reviews published economic evaluation studies of public health interventions from 26 Middle East and North Africa(MENA)countries and examines whether they addressed the region’s major health problems.Methods:PubMed and Scopus were utilized to search for relevant articles published up to June 26,2021.The reviewers independently selected studies,extracted data,and assessed the quality of studies using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards(CHEERS)checklist.Results:The search identified 61 studies.Approximately half(28 studies;46%)were conducted in Israel and Iran.The main areas of interest for economic evaluation studies were infectious diseases(21 studies;34%),cancers(13 studies;21%),and genetic disorders(nine studies;15%).Five(8%),39(64%),16(26%),and one(2%)studies were classified as excellent,high,average,and poor quality,respectively.The mean of CHEERS checklist items reported was 80.8%(SD 14%).Reporting the structure and justification of the selected model was missed in 21 studies(37%),while price and conversion rates and the analytical methods were missed in 21 studies(34%).Conclusions:The quantity of economic evaluation studies on public health interventions in the MENA region remains low;however,the overall quality is high to excellent.There were obvious geographic gaps across countries regarding the number and quality of studies and gaps within countries concerning disease prioritization.The observed research output,however,did not reflect current and upcoming disease burden and risk factors trends in the MENA region.

实体企业脱实向虚与分析师盈余预测质量——雾里看花还是甄别有道?

当前,实体经济“脱实向虚”倾向较为明显,立足于监管部门日益重视分析师研报质量的现实背景,选取2007—2019年间我国非金融企业作为研究样本,探究实体企业脱实向虚是否以及如何影响分析师盈余预测质量。研究表明:实体企业脱实向虚显著降低了分析师盈余预测质量;机制检验发现,企业脱实向虚通过降低企业信息透明度进而降低了分析师盈余预测质量;进一步研究表明,良好的公司治理和高质量的外部独立审计能削弱企业脱实向虚对分析师盈余预测质量的负面影响,而机构投资者持股则会强化其负面效应。研究从资本市场信息中介视角丰富了企业脱实向虚的经济后果,对政府监管部门引导企业回归主业及提高资本市场的信息效率具有一定启示作用。

经济合作50年节点的日本对东盟峰会外交

日本对东盟外交具有政策的连续性与经济外交优先性的鲜明特点。日本与东盟设立“合成橡胶论坛”成为日本重视对东盟经济外交的标志性事件之一。2023年是论坛成立50周年纪念节点,日本邀请东盟各国领导人参加在东京举办的特别领导人会议,希望以此为契机推进与东盟各国在经济、安保合作、人员往来在内的广泛领域的双边合作。在世界格局和国际秩序深刻调整的背景下,日本高调纪念与东盟的“友好合作”,希望拉近与东盟关系以配合推进其“印太战略”,并为未来的双边关系提供方向指引。日本与东盟关系的走势对亚太地缘政治格局、东亚区域经济合作、中日关系乃至中国东盟关系都会产生不同程度的影响。

俄乌冲突促使俄罗斯转向中国

俄乌冲突及其导致的俄罗斯与西方对抗促使俄转向中国。俄罗斯外贸、能源出口和金融等转向中国,因此中国成为俄最大贸易伙伴和能源市场,人民币成为俄主要外汇储备货币、国际结算货币和外汇交易货币。俄罗斯外交也在一定程度上转向中国,主要包括俄在构建世界新秩序和反对霸权主义、俄乌冲突国际调解以及欧亚地区安全治理方面倚重中国。转向中国是特殊时期俄罗斯被迫之选,权宜之法;是加强对华关系,不是向中国一边倒。在转向中国的同时,俄罗斯致力于经济本土化和外交多元化,随时准备缓和与美欧的关系。虽然中俄经贸关系呈现不平衡性和俄罗斯外交对中国有所倚重,但是两国关系总体上仍然是平等、互信、友好与合作的。中俄两国应继续在平等互利的基础上发展各领域合作——既不为美西方散布的“俄罗斯依附中国论”所离间,又要促进彼此经济依存与政治信任——以推动中俄新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系持续发展。

化学储氢介质实现“西氢东送”的可行性研究

氢能是实现能源安全和“双碳”目标的重要途径,是全球新能源发展的重要方向之一。我国西部地区可再生能源丰富,绿氢制备潜力大,但能源消费主要集中在东部地区,供需错配问题突出,研究开展“西氢东送”能有效缓解我国资源错配问题,促进我国氢能产业高质量发展。本文阐述了实施“西氢东送”的必要性,介绍了气态、液态、化学储氢介质、固态及有机液体储运技术路径,从技术特点、技术成熟度、标准体系和市场应用4个方面进行了技术可行性分析比较,提出以化学储氢介质、液氢、管道输氢为近期、中期、远期实现“西氢东送”可行的技术路径。再进一步以甘肃省酒泉市运输至上海市为实例,分别以绿氨、绿色甲醇、液氢和管道输氢为“西氢东送”实现路径,构建包括制氢、介质、运输、还原和配送各环节的供应链模型,通过测算供应链全过程综合成本,分析比较了经济可行性。综合研究表明,近期通过成熟的绿氨及绿色甲醇作为储运介质、中期逐步发展液氢运输方式、远期建设大规模长距离输氢管道,是我国实现“西氢东送”的可行路径。

RCEP框架下中国的考量与选择

《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)的签署是东亚经济一体化进程的重要里程碑。深入推进RCEP是中国构建以共同利益为基础的地区经济新秩序的必然选择,对中国塑造有利的国际环境,实现经济稳定可持续发展具有重要的战略价值。为进一步推进地区自由贸易发展与一体化进程,中国将坚定奉行合作互利共赢的开放理念,强化与域内成员国的相互联系,支持东盟在RCEP的中心地位,着力优化产业结构,深度融入全球供应链和产业链,持续推进高水平对外开放。

俄罗斯“转向东方”政策演变及前景展望

俄罗斯“转向东方”已演变为“向非西方转”。“转向东方”不仅是外交优先方向和经贸伙伴转向友好国家,还有国内发展向东偏移和经济发展及文明认同“去西方化”。“转向东方”的主要动力是融入西方彻底失败的失落,与西方关系的持续恶化,对“东升西降”世界发展大势的判断。俄罗斯国内思想变化对“转向东方”起到加持作用。2012年普京总统提出经济转向新亚洲概念,2014年开始有节奏战略性谋划与亚太地区的关系。2022年乌克兰危机升级,俄与西方斗而不破的传统关系被彻底打破,军事激烈对抗,经济加速脱钩,成为“转向东方”的加速器。“转向东方”由最初平衡与西方关系的工具变成突破西方外交和经济封锁的战略。“转向东方”在外交和经贸领域取得明显成效,亚洲迅速成为俄主要贸易伙伴。但“转向东方”无法一蹴而就,“俄罗斯国家文明”身份定位更需要时间积淀和自上而下传导。

房地产业对经济增长的贡献拐点是否已经到来?——基于服务业“成本病”的视角

科学判断房地产业对经济增长的贡献拐点是否已经到来对于正确调整相关产业政策、促进房地产业健康平稳发展意义重大。基于服务业“成本病”视角,在柯布-道格拉斯生产函数的基础上,建立面板门槛模型,研究发现:我国房地产业对经济增长的影响具有非线性的阶段性特征,随着服务业劳动生产率的提升而呈现倒U型特征,且具有区域异质性,北京、上海、天津等地房地产业对经济增长的贡献早已迎来拐点,江苏、浙江、福建等地即将迎来拐点;资本、劳动力、技术三要素的投入对促进房地产业拉动经济增长的贡献依次增大。

金融科技对区域发展的影响——基于西北地区现状

长期以来,我国一直面临着区域发展不平衡的挑战,这一现象抑制了我国经济的良性循环,主要原因在于东部地区和西部地区之间的发展差距,涵盖了资源利用和经济活力等方面。新时代“西部大开发”战略在一定程度上改善了我国区域发展不平衡的局面,但区域间绝对差距依然在扩大。现有研究主要聚焦于东部地区,少有西部地区的相关研究及两个区域之间的差别等。据此,本文利用相关数据和文献资料,对比分析西北地区和东部地区山东、浙江、广东三省的人均GDP等面板数据,评估地区金融发展水平,挖掘潜在问题,并提出发展建议。文章旨在探讨如何通过金融科技手段解决我国区域发展不平衡,进而助力我国金融科技体系的完善,逐步缓解我国发达地区的发展压力,同时促进经济可持续增长。

经济全球化和WTO背景下思想政治教育面临的挑战及对策研究

中国加入WTO既是难得的机遇,又面临着前所未有的挑战,在促进经济增长和加快中国发展的同时,给思想政治教育工作也带来了一些负面的影响:“双刃剑”的“阵痛”使一些深层次的矛盾和问题变得凸现出来,将困扰人们的思想;西方的意识形态将加剧对我国的“渗透”;给怎样认识社会主义市场经济条件下爱国主义教育增加了难度。我们应该充分认识加入WTO条件下加强思想政治工作的重要性;要切实加强加入WTO后群众思想状况的研究,提高思想政治工作的针对性;要准确把握时代特点,充分利用大众传播媒介的舆论宣传作用,注重思想政治工作方式方法的创新。
