Market process, legal environment, and technology innovation Ji Xiaoli 2011, 32(5): 8-16.  Abstract ( 1869 )   PDF (1014KB) ( 2136 )   The process and outcome of technology innovation are incorporated into a unified analytical framework and an empirical investigation involving the impact of market process and legal environment on technology innovation is conducted. The results show that: (1) Enterprise R&D intensity has the positive correlation with the regional market process, and also the transformation degree of R&D patent and its efficiency has a strong dependency on the legal environment. (2) The responsiveness of central state-owned enterprise's R&D investment to the regional market process is the highest; and due to lack of administrative power from the government for protecting the patent outcome of technology innovation, the impact of legal environment on patent transformation for the private enterprise's R &D is quite significant. (3) The promoting effect of the market process on the investment in R&D of the local state-owned enterprise is easily undermined by the intervention of local governments, and also the technological innovations can easily obtain the protection from the administrative power of the local governments, thus the dependence on the legal environment is reduced. These conclusions can provide the theoretical and empirical basis for further improving the market and legal environment of technology innovation. References | Related Articles | Metrics

The effect of interest income tax on income redistribution:Based on the survey data of urban residents in China from 2000 to 2007 He Hui, Yin Yinpin, Zhang Qing 2011, 32(5): 55-60.  Abstract ( 1694 )   PDF (882KB) ( 2556 )   Interest income tax is an important political tool for Chinese government to regulate the consumption of residents, which has a certain effect on the relationship between saving and consumption. It is worthwhile to further discuss the effect of interest income tax on income redistribution in China, especially from the empirical perspectives. From the angles of average tax rate progressiveness and pre-tax and after-tax Gini coefficient, the effect of interest income tax on income redistribution is theoretically analyzed. Empirically, the effect is tested using the survey data of urban residents from 2000 to 2007. The results are as follows: First, the average rate of interest income tax is progressive among different income groups, therefore has a positive effect on income redistribution. Second, the Gini coefficient of after-tax interest is less than the pre-tax Gini coefficient: it is meant that the interest income tax has the effect for reducing income gap. Third, there are differences of the effect in the various periods. Fourth, reducing the rate of interest income tax weakens the income redistribution effect of interest income tax.

The survival analysis of small and medium-sized enterprises—based on the industry of Hunan Province Cao Yu, Chen Xiaohong, Wang Fuqiang 2011, 32(5): 103-111,148.  Abstract ( 1541 )   PDF (938KB) ( 2791 )   A detailed analysis on the Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) survival and its determinants are conducted, based on a sample of 54,573 new-registered industrial SMEs in Hunan Province, whichs capitals are all below 10 million Yuan and establish during the period of 1998-2007. The main research methods used are life table method and accelerated failure time model, they are mostly used in the survival analysis. The empirical results show that the risk of enterprise death follows a U-shape pattern relationship with the time for SMEs in Hunan Province, and the death risk begins to increase after nine and half years since the establishment of enterprises. The indicators, such as the original size of enterprises, industrial sector size, industrial added value rate, sales margin and profit tax rate of output value, all have significant positive impacts on business survival. However, the industry growth, liquidity capital turnover rate, and all-personnel labor productivity have no significant correlation with the business survival; Monopoly enterprises have better living conditions, the SMEs with high intensive technology have worse living conditions, SMEs located in agglomerate regions have greater risk of death. The interest rate has a significant negative impact on the survival of SMEs. While the GDP growth rate based on the city-level has a significant positive impact on the survival of SMEs. Vis-à-vis private enterprises, the survival performance of state-owned enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises in Hunan Province are even worse. References | Related Articles | Metrics
