The object of research is the humanitarian context of offset policy, which is studied using the collection of evidence in the field of study-in the defense industry of Europe. One of the most problematic places in the sphere of trade in military goods is the humanitarian factor of economic relations, namely the influence of non-economic factors on the economic effect. The humanitarian aspect of economic relations led to a study of the foundations of the so-called «humanitarian economy» or «humanomics» as a moral and ethical category of economic relations, and military-technical cooperation, as a purely rational category of relations between producers, suppliers and importers of military products. The concept of «humanomics» is formed not so long ago, therefore this topic is not sufficiently disclosed in the literature, making research promising. During the study, the key concepts of the traditional and humanitarian economics, their dialectic unity, interpenetration and interconnection were revealed. In addition to studying the impact of compensation transactions on business processes in small and medium-sized enterprises, a special business model, the so-called compensation transaction model, is developed in this research. The model is based on a three-stage systematic approach: at the first stage, problems associated with compensation agreements at small and medium enterprises are identified, and at the second stage, empirical data are analyzed. At the latter, a theoretical model is proposed that is specially developed for practicing specialists and is tested using practically two specific cases. Thanks to the use of the proposed model, it is possible to support the implementation of compensation agreements at all levels of management, including planning, implementation of tasks and control. For the military-trade cooperation of Ukraine with other weapons-importing countries, offset models will contribute to deepening economic cooperation in the competition on the global arms and military equipment markets. Therefore, it is extremely important, while strengthening the humanitarian aspects of offset policy, at the same time actively developing and implementing mechanisms of competitive counteraction.
研究的对象是补偿政策的人道主义背景,这是研究领域的证据收集-在欧洲的国防工业。军品贸易领域中问题最大的地方之一是经济关系中的人道主义因素,即非经济因素对经济效果的影响。经济关系的人道主义方面导致对所谓“人道主义经济”或“人道主义经济学”作为经济关系的道德和伦理范畴以及军事技术合作作为军事产品生产者、供应者和进口商之间关系的纯粹理性范畴的基础进行研究。“人类组学”的概念形成不久,因此这一主题在文献中没有得到充分的披露,这使得研究前景广阔。在研究过程中,揭示了传统经济学和人道主义经济学的核心概念及其辩证统一、相互渗透和相互联系。本研究除了研究薪酬交易对中小企业业务流程的影响外,还提出了一种特殊的业务模型,即所谓的薪酬交易模型。该模型基于一个三阶段的系统方法:在第一阶段,确定与中小企业薪酬协议相关的问题,在第二阶段,分析实证数据。在后者中,提出了一个专门为执业专家开发的理论模型,并使用实际两个具体案例进行了测试。由于使用了所提出的模型,有可能支持在各级管理中执行薪酬协议,包括计划、执行任务和控制。对于乌克兰与其他武器进口国的军事贸易合作,抵消模式将有助于在全球武器和军事装备市场竞争中深化经济合作。因此,在加强抵消政策人道主义方面的同时,积极发展和实施竞争性抵消机制是极其重要的。

Higher Education Expansion, the Hukou System, and Returns to Education in China 中国的高等教育扩张、户口制度和教育回报率
Pub Date : 2020-02-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3542623

China experienced a near 5-fold increase in annual Higher Education (HE) enrolment in the decade starting in 1999. Using the China Household Finance Survey, we show that the expansion has exacerbated the large pre-existing urban-rural gap in educational attainment underpinned by the hukou (household registration) system. We then instrument years of schooling using the interaction of childhood urban hukou status and the timing of the expansion, which is analogous to a Difference-in-Differences estimator which uses rural students to control for any common time trend. The 2SLS estimates of 17% and 12% for men and women respectively are substantially larger than their OLS counterparts of 5% and 6%, both allowing for county fixed-effects. Our 2SLS results can be interpreted as a Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE), i.e. the average treatment effect of HE attendance on earnings for urban students who enrolled in HE as a result of the higher education expansion.
从 1999 年开始的十年间,中国的高等教育(HE)年入学率增长了近 5 倍。我们利用中国家庭金融调查(China Household Finance Survey)结果表明,由于户籍制度的存在,高等教育扩招加剧了城乡之间原有的巨大教育水平差距。然后,我们利用童年城市户口状况与扩招时间的交互作用来衡量受教育年限,这类似于利用农村学生来控制任何共同时间趋势的差分估计法。在考虑了县级固定效应的情况下,2SLS 对男性和女性的估计值分别为 17% 和 12%,远高于其对应的 OLS 估计值(5% 和 6%)。我们的 2SLS 结果可以解释为地方平均治疗效果(LATE),即高等教育扩张对就读高等教育的城市学生收入的平均治疗效果。

As we observe the 18th anniversary of the Doha Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement (Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) and Public Health, it is appropriate to take stock of intellectual property developments and endeavour to present a comprehensive account of the situation in the African continent in respect of the implementation of TRIPS flexibilities, specifically those regarding access to medicines. This research paper provides an overview of the extent to which selected African countries have adopted legal and policy frameworks with regard to TRIPS flexibilities, examines the actual use of these flexibilities in enabling access to medicines in those countries, and suggests some recommendations for optimising the use of the flexibilities in pursuing public health imperatives.
在我们纪念《与贸易有关的知识产权协定》与公共卫生多哈宣言18周年之际,有必要总结一下知识产权的发展,并努力全面介绍非洲大陆在执行《与贸易有关的知识产权协定》灵活性方面的情况,特别是在获得药品方面的情况。本研究报告概述了选定的非洲国家在何种程度上采用了与贸易有关的知识产权灵活性方面的法律和政策框架,审查了这些灵活性在使这些国家能够获得药品方面的实际使用情况,并提出了一些建议,以便在追求公共卫生迫切需要方面最佳地利用这些灵活性。

The Effects of Paid Maternity Leave on the Gender Gap: Reconciling Short and Long Run Impacts 带薪产假对性别差距的影响:调和短期和长期影响
Pub Date : 2020-02-11 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3536677

I assess the impact of fully paid maternity leave on leave taking, continued employment, and promotion by exploiting a sudden expansion of paid leave from 6 to 12 weeks in the United States Air Force and Army. I estimate impacts under regression discontinuity and difference in differences frameworks using administrative records covering mothers and fathers in the military for up to two years after birth. I find that the policy increases leave taking by 5 weeks, has minimal impacts on continued employment, and negative impacts on the likelihood of promotion. These results are absent return to work effects and provide a way to reconcile estimates of positive short run and negative long run impacts.
我通过利用美国空军和陆军突然将带薪休假从6周延长到12周的做法,评估了全薪产假对休假、继续就业和晋升的影响。我估计了在回归不连续和差异框架的差异下的影响,使用的行政记录涵盖了出生后长达两年的军队中的母亲和父亲。我发现这项政策增加了5周的休假,对继续就业的影响很小,对晋升的可能性有负面影响。这些结果不存在工作回报效应,并提供了一种方法来调和积极的短期影响和消极的长期影响的估计。

Social Insurance for the Elderly 老年人社会保险

Abstract We study the effects of retirement benefits provided by social insurance programs on consumption, portfolio choice, and retirement in a continuous-time theoretical model. We show that people tend to retire earlier with an increase in retirement social insurance benefits (SIBs), consistent with empirical evidence. We show also that people tend to increase savings before retirement in anticipation of increased retirement benefits, a counter-intuitive result. The response of risky investment with an increase in the SIBs is ambiguous, depending on parameter values. The overall social welfare will increase with an increase in SIBs if the balanced budget constraint is satisfied. We also investigate the effects of changes in the two streams of the SIBs (paid in perishable goods and cash) and the proportion of workers in entire population on social welfare.
摘要本文在一个连续时间理论模型中研究了社会保险提供的退休福利对消费、投资组合选择和退休的影响。我们发现,随着退休社会保险福利(sib)的增加,人们倾向于提前退休,这与实证证据一致。我们还表明,人们倾向于在退休前增加储蓄,因为预期退休福利会增加,这是一个反直觉的结果。随着sib的增加,风险投资的响应是模糊的,这取决于参数值。在满足平衡预算约束的情况下,社会总福利会随着sib的增加而增加。我们还研究了sib(以易腐货物和现金支付)的两种流的变化以及工人在整个人口中的比例对社会福利的影响。

Optimal Subsidy Level and Innovation Investment in the Presence of Innovation Spillover: A Perspective of Social Welfare 创新溢出下的最优补贴水平与创新投资:一个社会福利视角
Pub Date : 2020-02-10 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3535683
Pin Zhou, C. Li
We consider the effect of subsidy level and innovation spillover on the production quantity and social welfare in a mixed duopoly market with one private enterprise (PE) and one state-own enterprise (SOE). The government may subsidize the SOE or PE. We derive the equilibrium production quantity, innovation investment level and sub- sidy level. Our results show that, given the exogenously subsidy level, social welfare is concave in subsidy level and whether the SOE’s utility is monotonic in subsidy level depends on the subsidy policy and the innovation investment. When the government endogenously determines the subsidy level, the subsidy policy is equivalent no matter which enterprise is subsidized if innovation investment is not implemented. When in- novation investment is implemented, government prefers to subsidize the SOE. Both government subsidy and innovation investment can improve social welfare and these two strategies are complementary.
本文研究了在一个国有企业和民营企业混合的双寡头市场中,补贴水平和创新溢出对生产数量和社会福利的影响。政府可以补贴国有企业或私营企业。推导出均衡产量、创新投入水平和补贴水平。研究结果表明,在外生补贴水平下,社会福利在补贴水平上呈凹形,国有企业在补贴水平上的效用是否单调取决于补贴政策和创新投入。当政府内生性决定补贴水平时,在不实施创新投资的情况下,无论哪家企业得到补贴,补贴政策都是等效的。在实施创新投资时,政府倾向于对国有企业进行补贴。政府补贴和创新投资都能提高社会福利水平,两者互为补充。

Advance Market Commitments: Insights from Theory and Experience 提前市场承诺:来自理论和经验的见解
M. Kremer, Jonathan Levin, Christopher M. Snyder
Ten years ago, donors committed $1.5 billion to a pilot Advance Market Commitment (AMC) to help purchase pneumococcal vaccine for low-income countries. The AMC aimed to encourage the development of such vaccines, ensure distribution to children in low-income countries, and pilot the AMC mechanism for possible future use. Three vaccines have been developed and more than 150 million children immunized, saving an estimated 700,000 lives. This paper reviews the economic logic behind AMCs, the experience with the pilot, and key issues for future AMCs.
十年前,捐助方承诺向预先市场承诺试点项目提供15亿美元,帮助低收入国家购买肺炎球菌疫苗。AMC旨在鼓励开发此类疫苗,确保向低收入国家的儿童分发疫苗,并试点AMC机制,以备将来使用。已经研制出三种疫苗,1.5亿多儿童接种了疫苗,估计挽救了70万人的生命。本文回顾了资产管理背后的经济逻辑、试点经验以及未来资产管理的关键问题。

Heterogeneous Impacts on Layoffs of Changes in Brazilian Unemployment Insurance Eligibility Rules 巴西失业保险资格规则变化对裁员的异质影响

This paper is based on the first use of program administrative data from Brazil’s unemployment insurance (UI) program to assess the impact of changes in UI eligibility criteria on layoff probabilities. We exploit exogenous program changes introduced by executive and legislative changes in 2015 to estimate impacts while accounting for the number of prior UI benefit requests. We estimate that changes in UI eligibility criteria had heterogeneous impacts distinguished by the number of prior benefit requests. We show that the 2015 changes in UI eligibility rules reduced layoffs and find evidence that the changes reduced collusion between workers and employers for layoffs because it became harder to extract subsidies from the UI system. The layoff reductions were greatest before workers' second benefit request.
本文基于首次使用巴西失业保险(UI)计划的项目管理数据来评估UI资格标准变化对裁员概率的影响。我们利用2015年行政和立法变化带来的外生项目变化来估计影响,同时考虑到先前的UI福利申请数量。我们估计,根据先前福利申请的数量,UI资格标准的变化具有异质性影响。我们表明,2015年对失业保险资格规则的改变减少了裁员,并发现证据表明,这些变化减少了工人和雇主之间的裁员勾结,因为从失业保险制度中提取补贴变得更加困难。在工人第二次申请福利之前,裁员幅度最大。

Some Thoughts on Controlling Federal Spending 关于控制联邦开支的一些思考
Pub Date : 2020-01-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3567398
John Garen
This paper is an overview of thoughts about controlling federal spending. At the outset, I note my concern that federal spending is too high and comes at the detriment of good incentives, productivity, and growth. I review the market-oriented economist’s view of the proper role of government and note that many government activities go well beyond them. “Doing something” about it is problematic due to the difficult politics of special interests and of reliance on government programs. In this light, I discuss four specifics. Regarding Social Security, I suggest moving it further toward a program for low-income seniors and allowing younger people outside options. For Medicare, I suggest moving to premium support and capping the real dollar value of government-paid premiums. This should be combined with encouraging competitive pricing of insurance plans for seniors well as for care. This avoids the harsh effects of “cost controls” through price controls and government care restrictions. Mean-tested programs should diminish with strong economic growth, though better targeting and effectiveness can reduce their burden. Finally, I offer hope that fiscal rules (e.g., debt brakes, base closing commissions) may arise to help reduce spending.
本文概述了控制联邦开支的思想。首先,我要指出我的担忧,即联邦支出过高,不利于良好的激励、生产力和增长。我回顾了以市场为导向的经济学家关于政府适当角色的观点,并指出许多政府活动远远超出了它们的范围。“做点什么”是有问题的,因为特殊利益集团和依赖政府项目的政治困难。据此,我将讨论四个具体问题。关于社会保障,我建议将其进一步发展为针对低收入老年人的计划,并允许年轻人有其他选择。对于医疗保险,我建议转向保费支持,并限制政府支付的保费的实际美元价值。这应与鼓励老年人和护理保险计划的竞争性定价相结合。这避免了“成本控制”通过价格控制和政府护理限制带来的严酷影响。随着经济的强劲增长,经济状况调查项目应该会减少,尽管更好的针对性和有效性可以减轻它们的负担。最后,我希望出台财政规则(如债务刹车、税基结算佣金)来帮助减少支出。

Finally, I offer hope that fiscal rules (e.g., debt brakes, base closing commissions) may arise to help reduce spending.","PeriodicalId":360236,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Government Expenditures & Related Policies eJournal","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126237106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to examine the adoption of innovation technology (e-learning) in universities in Indonesia, by emphasizing individual internal factors that influence adoption. The internal factors analyzed in this study are user motivation, perceived ease of use, trust and personal innovativeness. This research is a type of survey research with the respondents being lecturers at the University. This study used a questionnaire to obtain data, and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of data analysis indicate that not all proposed hypotheses are accepted. There is one hypothesis that is not supported, namely the hypothesis of the influence of personal innovativeness on e-learning adoption. The influence of motivation on e-learning adoption, and trust in e-learning adoption is supported. Likewise, the effect of perceive ease of use on trust is also supported.
本研究旨在通过强调影响采用的个人内部因素,检验印度尼西亚大学对创新技术(电子学习)的采用情况。本研究分析的内部因素包括用户动机、感知易用性、信任和个人创新能力。这项研究是一种调查研究,受访者是大学的讲师。本研究采用问卷调查法获取数据,并采用结构方程模型(SEM)对数据进行分析。数据分析结果表明,并非所有提出的假设都被接受。有一个假设没有得到支持,即个人创新对e-learning采用的影响假设。支持动机对电子学习采用的影响,以及信任对电子学习采用的影响。同样,感知易用性对信任的影响也得到了支持。
