金融中介和經濟發展 : 中國大陸為例, Zuxiang Zhang

Theses & Dissertations

本論文研究中國大陸的金融中介体 (包括銀行和股票市場) 与經濟增長相關性。所用數据是從1994 年到2001 年的季度時間序列數据。作者對各個時間序列數据都考慮了季節因素的影響并進行了穩定性檢驗。

回歸分析結果發現,從長期來看, 金融深度 (DEPTH) 和經濟增長有顯著的正相關關系, 國有商業銀行相對与銀行体系的規模的比例和經濟增長有不顯著的關系。這表明銀行的發展對經濟的增長是有促進作用。同時, 股票市場的相對于經濟總量的規模和經濟發展有顯著的正相關關系, 但是股票市場的流動性和經濟增長有不顯著的關系。這個表明中國大陸的股票市場從長遠來看其發展會促進經濟發展, 但是其流動性對經濟發展的作用並不大。

為了研究金融中介和經濟發展的短期關系, 本論文運用誤差校正模型來檢驗金融中介和經濟發展的相關性。結果表明衡量股票市場規模的變量CAPITALIZATION 和經濟 增長有顯著的負相關關系。這表明中國股票市場存在巨大的 “ 泡沫”, 大量的投机和其它不良的行為。對此, 政府應該重視和加強對股票市場的監控, 對一級市場的上市審批和二級市場的交易買賣都要進行引導, 使股票市場真正成為企業融資的好渠道。

中國務實外交戰略的目的和效果, Pak Wai Chan

Theses & Dissertations

中華人民共和國自建國以來，就是以馬列主義、毛澤東思想為指導理論 的意識形態國家，然而意識形態不是任何時候都左右了中國的外交戰略的。 當意識形態在中國的內政、外交上處於主導位置時，通常不會出現務實 的外交戰略。但是當國家陷於政權的生存、鞏固和安全的危機時，就會出現例 外。

當國家總體戰略是以經濟建設為中心，強調發展經濟，意識形態相對淡化時，務實外交戰略就大行其道。

就中國的務實外交戰略的本質而言，中國本國的國家利益仍然是指導中 國外交戰略的最高原則，其務實的本質與國際政治學理論中的實在主義並無根本的不同。然而，毛澤東時代與鄧小平時代實行務實外交戰略是有不同的，前者僅是外交戰略中的例外，後者則是常規，而非例外。

不論在毛澤東時代還是在鄧小平時代，務實外交戰略在特定的時代背景下都得到了淋漓盡致的展現。前者為中國鞏固新生政權和化解國家安全危機起 到了根本性的作用。後者?中國的社會主義現代化建設爭取了二十多年的和平環境，使中國的經濟得以維持了二十多年的持續高速增長，使中華民族的偉大復興出現了曙光。

Competition Policy In East Asia : The Cases Of Japan, People's Republic Of China, And Hong Kong, Ping Lin

CAPS Working Paper Series

This paper describes and evaluates the competition policies in Japan, China, and Hong Kong. A simple framework based on the economic incentive of violations of law is used to evaluate the effectiveness of competition policy. After half a century of effort, Japan has finally established of a modern antitrust system, although its surcharge system could be further improved so as to enhance the deterrence effect of the law. China and Hong Kong (as most other East Asia countries) are at the early stage of developing an adequate and effective competition policy. Their short experiences, however, demonstrate the importance and complexity …

基督教中文聖經性別內包語言研究, Sin Nga So

Theses & Dissertations

過去三十年，西方在女性主義思潮的帶動下，掀起了對語言性別主義的批判，同一時期，翻譯學朝文化研究的方向發展，使性別、語言與翻譯成為了互相影響、經常互相指涉的研究領域。本文採用描述性的研究進路，探討自由主義女性主義者所倡導的內包語言在基督教中文聖經譯本中的使用情況。

八十年代中，內包語言被引進到英文聖經翻譯，掀起了連串的討論。本文會在西方（尤其美國）學者的研究基礎上，從女性主義切入，釐清內包語言在聖經翻譯的語境中的本質，以及衍生出來的概念，然後將聖經主要的中文譯本 界分為傳統版本和內包版本。最後借用安德烈‧勒菲弗爾（André Lefevere）的理論，分析贊助者的意識形態如何支配中文聖經的內包版本。

The Concept Of Healthy Ageing In Hong Kong, Mei Lan, Mandy Chiu

Sino-American Strategic Relations : A Perceptual-Psychological Approach, Hon Yui, Eric Wong

Theses & Dissertations

The rise of China’s economic power and the end of US-Soviet rivalry has highlighted the importance of overall Sino-US relations and has made Sino-US interrelations in terms of security become more sophisticated and complicated. Although there obviously exist a number of issues in the Sino-US strategic relationship, my research takes two case studies for particular analysis. One issue, missile defense (MD), started during the presidency of Bill Clinton, but because of George W. Bush’s tough approach to China has become a critical issue in current Sino-US relations.

The Taiwan issue is another crucial case study in my research. Because of …

Ascertaining Patient Condition : A Grounded Theory Study Of Diagnostic Practice In Nursing, Kok Long, Joseph Lee

Theses & Dissertations

In the past decade, much research has been conducted on the practice nurses engage in diagnosing the clinical condition of patients. Many of the studies suggest that diagnostic practices of nurses in simulation settings follow a hypothetical deductive model that similar to the clinical decision-making or diagnostic reasoning process. A second line of inquiry claims that experience used in conjunction with intuition form the major core of diagnostic practice in nursing. However, these studies either assume nurses are reasoned in a primarily rationalist fashion or offer no conclusive explanations of the details on how intuition directs diagnostic practices. In particular, …

Dirty Coal : Voluntary International Environmental Agreements And Sustainable Development In The People's Republic Of China, Paul, G. Harris, Chihiro Udagawa

CAPS Working Paper Series

Agenda 21 is the voluminous policy document that emanated from the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. Using a brief case study of China’s energy use—specifically its use of coal—this article illustrates how the objectives of Agenda 21 are reflected in China’s economic development policies and practices. We address these kinds of questions: Has China endeavoured to implement environmentally sustainable development, as reflected in the chapters of Agenda 21? What does the case of energy use tell us about the utility of Agenda 21 objectives in China and other developing countries? What are some of the political and …

Do China And Hong Kong Constitute An Optimum Currency Area?, Yue Ma, Shu Ki Tsang

CAPS Working Paper Series

After the political unification of Hong Kong with China, Hong Kong is supposed to function as a separate economic entity under the framework of "one country, two systems". However, the increasingly close ties between the two economices have raised the possibility of full economic integration, and even of monetary union as the Chinese currency progresses towards full convertibility. This paper employs the theory of optimum currency area (OCA) and adopts recently developed techniques to test whether China and Hong Kong constitute an OCA. The empirical findings based on disaggregated historical data are overwhelmingly negative. Other considerations also point to a …

中國大陸加入 Wto 後政府職能之變遷 : 調適與挑戰, 陳德昇

CAPS Working Paper Series

中國大陸已於2001年12月1日成為「世界貿易組織」(World Trade Organization) 正式會員國。雖然大陸加入此一號稱「經濟聯合國」的經濟組織眾所關心的議題主要是對大陸產業的街擊，國有企業的生存競爭挑戰，以及失業的惡化，但事實上政府體制與職能的變遷與調控，更是值得重視的課題。換言之，加入世貿組織對應的主體首先是政府，其次才是企業。此外，大陸政府職能調過良好與否，亦將攸關大陸經濟市場化發展，以及政經體制變革之進程，其發展動向值得關注。

針對政府職能調整議題，本文由體制面、行為百與法制面分析與觀察：中國大陸加入WTO後政府職能調整與變遷趨勢，並評估其政府職能轉變較易實現之目標與較困難改變之處，以及WTO 規範「應然」(what ought to be) 面與大陸實際發展之「寶然」(what is) 面之落差與影響。最後將提出台商因應之道及大陸政府職能轉變與政經結構調整之展望。

入世後瓊台農業項下自由貿易展望, 李昌邦

CAPS Working Paper Series

1998年3月，中國(海南)改革發展研究院正式提出“關於實行瓊台農業項下自由貿易的建議報告”。 這項建議的提出，曾在海內外產生反響，但由於種種原因，未能實施，今天當中國和中國臺灣先後加入WTO 之後，此項建議，是否還有價值，是否可行，在新形勢下如何推動，本文將對這些問題進行探討。

中國大陸加入世貿組織對大陸經濟發展之影響, 田君美

CAPS Working Paper Series

WTO 是世界最大的多邊貿易組織，是各國與國際經濟體系聯系與合作的重要橋梁，多年來WTO 致力於推行商品和服務貿易自由化、知識產權保護和貿易法規公開化等，通過貿易政策審議機制和爭端解決機制，對世界貿易和投資產生著重大影響。由於世界貿易組織是一個以市場經濟及公平貿易為基礎的多邊貿易體制，而中國大陸經濟體制是20 餘年來，從計劃經濟體制調整到社會主義市場經濟體制，因此，在加入WTO 後其政府、企業及各產業均必須面對市場開放與競爭的衝擊。本文將從經濟制面、產業面及總體經濟面等觀點，探討中國大陸加入WTO以後，到大陸經濟發展之影響。

台灣入世銀行服務業在法規和政策上之調適, 王應傑

CAPS Working Paper Series

世界貿易組織(WTO)的前身為關稅暨貿易總協定(GATT)。臺灣於1990年1月1日，以「臺、澎、金、馬個別關稅領域」正式向GATT 提出入世申請；並於1993年取得其觀察員資格。由於在1994年12月24日烏拉圭回合談判的最後協議中，決定成立WTO，臺灣再於1995年12月1日改申請加入WTO。

此間歷經12年的籌備和努力，臺灣終於在今年(2001年)9月18日完成入世文件採認，最快可於明年1月正式成為WTO 會員，立法院也正在配合行政部門加速進行相關法案的修定。臺灣在入世後，必須克服市場開放對各產業的多方衝擊，而臺灣政府相關部門亦早為入世調整相關產業政策和法規，以期使產業能轉型成功。

本文將針對入世對臺灣銀行服務業相關法規和政策上之調適，作一簡單之介紹和分析。

兩岸入世貿後智慧財產權爭議解決之探討, 王琇慧

CAPS Working Paper Series

兩岸經過十多年來漫長的努力終於在今年一起進入WTO，對兩岸而言均是歷史上新頁，審視成立WTO 之目的，乃在提倡自由貿易精神、卻除關稅障礙，強調開放市場，分享經濟主權，並就會員國彼此間因不同的規範制度所引發之相關爭議，尋求共同的解決機制，因此，兩岸入世後，對於相關智慧財產權之爭議解決途逕除了原有的一般個案爭訟、雙方諮商模式外'WTO 協定並提供一多邊之爭端解決機制(爭端解決規則與程序瞭解書(UNDERSTANDING ON RULES AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING THE SEffiEMENT OF DISPUTE，簡稱WTO-DSU) 。

WTO 向有「經濟聯合國」的類稱，台灣在加入九叮O 後，首須了解WTO 所有之規範'尤其在發生國與國間或跨國之爭端事件時，對於WTO-DSU 多邊爭端解決的規則與操作，更須清礎、熟悉，才能避免錯誤並確保自身權益。由於種種環境因素，有關兩岸的雙方諮商無法擴展開來，因此，於兩岸均入世貿後，有認為將可透過WTO-DSU 之多邊爭端解決方式，為兩岸的對話閉關另一扇窗口，果如此，是否意味著制後對兩岸有關智慧財產權爭議的解決，可迴避雙邊諮商，而將之改置於WTO-DSU 多邊爭端解決模式來處理?應值得探討。

加入Wto對台灣與大陸證券業之衝擊與因應, 吳桂燕

CAPS Working Paper Series

根據WTO議程，大陸將於2001 年年底加入WTO。而依據主要會員國之共識，台灣亦將隨後入會。兩岸入會後，首先將被迫往開放的方向調整，在金融服務業亦將面臨開放問題。台灣與大陸未來皆必須逐步開放金融市場，金融業包括銀行業、證券業、保險業等皆將受到外國金融業激烈的競爭，而兩岸間金融往來亦將可能發生。在全球金融化的趨勢下，競爭將愈趨激烈，尤其來自國外的金融業，挾持龐大的資金與經驗豐富的人力資源，將對兩岸金融業的經營與發展產生巨大的衝擊與影響。其次，兩岸面對入會後最大的挑戰是人才的競爭，尤其金融服務業人才爭奪戰將是中國入會後不可避免的趨勢。

Competition Policy Under Laissez-Faireism : Market Power And Its Treatment In Hong Kong, K. Y., Edward Chen, Ping Lin

Centre for Public Policy Studies : CPPS Working Paper Series

The paper describes the current competition policy framework in Hong Kong: how it came into existence, what business practices are prohibited, and how the enforcement system works. Recent cases in the telecommunications industry are used to illustrate the sectoral approach, the unique feature of Hong Kong’s competition policy. The paper argues that a sectoral approach faces two fundamental drawbacks. First, due to having different “rules of the game” for different sectors, the allocation of resources may be distorted in the long run. Second, since the relevant regulatory agencies perform dual roles both as competition policy enforcer and as traditional regulator …

Quality Of Life Of The Chinese Elderly In Hong Kong : Preliminary Findings From Two Focus Groups Studies, Cheung Ming, Alfred Chan, Sheung Tak Cheng, David Rosser Phillips

APIAS Monograph 專題論文

In addressing the issues of developing a culturally sensitive and elderly relevant measure of quality of life, the research teams resort to a multi-staged approach. The first is to take on an easier target group (i.e. those living in community and are reasonably mobile) in an attempt to develop an initial measure for the elderly people living in community. Assuming that this initial measurement will be largely applicable to the frail ones, an alternative version will be developed based on the modification of the former. So the first stage was a series of focus groups designed to exhaust meanings and …
