一、Modelling Gains and Losses from an Australia-China Free Trade Agreement

讲演者：Tran Van Hoa教授，澳大利亚维多利亚大学经济战略研究中心

摘要：In pursuing policies of trade liberalisation and growth promotion within the framework of regional economic integration, WTO membership and globalisation, major Asian developing economies and China in particular had achieved economic ‘miracles’ in the past decades. Recently however, they face many challenges, economically and politically (Tran Van Hoa, 2002), compounded by a global (especially the US) economic slowdown (IMF, 2005), terrorist attacks, the SARS and avian flu outbreaks, currently unprecedented Indian Ocean tsunami devastation affecting millions in Asia, and other domestic or international (eg, the current China-Japan and China-Taiwan tension) uncertainty ahead. What are the development and growth prospects then for these economies or especially China in the medium and long term? The paper introduces the generalised gravity theory (Tran Van Hoa, 2004) to construct a simple flexible simultaneous-equation econometric model of growth and trade of China and its five major trading country or blocs (Japan, ASEAN-6, the European Union, the US, and Australia). The model incorporates explicitly major temporary and persistent structural change. Using latest ICSEAD, OECD and WBWT data, the paper reports efficient empirical results on trade-growth causality, trade determination and effects of shocks and policy reform on trade and growth between these economies and China over the past two decades. Based on these findings and current trade policy and economic relations negotiations, economic policy challenges are then targeted for discussion and for resolution development.

二、Dragon by the Tail, Dragon by the Head, Bilateralism and Globalism in East Asia

讲演者：Pham Lan Huong教授，越南计划与投资部中央经济管理研究所

摘要：In this paper, we examine the bilateral implications of regional and global trade arrangements in the East Asian context. Using a dynamic global CGE model, we examine a variety of trade scenarios, in terms of bilateral relations between China and two of its most populace regional partners, Vietnam and Japan. Given the differences between the latter two economies, it might be reasonable to expect divergence in the bilateral outcomes. Our findings indicate that differences in initial conditions can indeed have a significant impact on bilateral adjustments, and that these can be adverse for some partners in the absence of policies that promote trade complementarity. By the latter we mean bilateral import and export patterns where the aggregate grows faster for each country than their total trade, but which help sustain bilateral balance of payments equilibrium.

四、Australia-China Free Trade Agreement: prospects and opportunities

讲演者：Charles Harvie教授，澳大利亚Wollongong大学商学院经济学系

摘要：Australia is the only major developed economy currently negotiating an FTA with China, presenting a unique opportunity for the two countries to forge stronger economic and trade links. From an Australian perspective this presents considerable economic opportunities to engage with a country that contributed more than a quarter of the world’s economic growth in the past two years. The Australian government sees this as a major opportunity of gaining not only new market access for its resource sector, farmers, manufacturers and service providers, but also consolidating Australia’s existing position in this vital market. Market access negotiations with China are due to begin in the second half of 2006. From a Chinese perspective it presents the opportunity of establishing a secure source of supply of minerals and energy upon which the future growth of its rapidly developing manufacturing sector will depend, as well as expanding its export markets for such products. To date, four negotiating meetings have already taken place to exchange information about each country's trade and investment regimes, and to examine how best to deal with areas of interest in an FTA.

The huge market potential in China is seen as a crucial reason why Australia cannot stand still while its competitors negotiate FTAs with China. In a key sector of the economy Australia has experienced a trebling of agricultural exports to China over the past decade, now worth more than $3 billion to Australian farmers. This comes on the back of Australia’s record export high $176.7 billion exports to China in 2005 fuelled by resource exports. In fact, more than most economies, Australia stands to make significant economic gains from the establishment of an FTA because of the obvious complementary nature of both economies.

While Australia’s trading strategy places emphasis on successful outcomes under the Doha Round of trade negotiations in the World Trade Organization, slow progress has stimulated interest and greater activity in the establishment of FTAs. The Australian government has successfully negotiated free trade agreements with the United States (2004), Thailand, Singapore as well as the long established CER with New Zealand dating back to the 1970s.  

The paper reviews the current trading and investment relationship between China and Australia, identifies trade complementarities and sectoral revealed comparative advantages, and identifies key trade and investment opportunities for Australian and Chinese businesses. The paper concludes that there are numerous such opportunities of mutual benefit for both these countries.

五、Research on the Protectionism Trade Policy using Cluster Analysis

讲演者：卓骏副教授，浙江大学管理学院

摘要：This paper analyzes the foreign trade policies of different countries using cluster analysis, the data a from 2001 to 2005. We classify the protectionism policy in three different forms – the high protectionism, the median protectionism and the low protectionism. Finally we analyze the relationship between these forms in the structure.

六、An Empirical Study on Export’s Contribution to China’s Economic Growth

讲演者：康增奎教授，首都经济贸易大学经济学院

摘要：In this paper, we found that previous studies underestimate China’s export’s contribution to GDP growth due to their neglect of export’s indirect impacts on domestic consumption, investment, government expenditures and imports. With a new estimation method we find that a ten percent increase in exports will result a one percent increase in GDP during the past 20-odd years, if both the direct and indirect contributions are taken into consideration.

七、The Estimates of Potential GDP of China in 2006 and 2007

讲演者：刘扬教授，中央财经大学

摘要：Farmers should be the main body of agricultural production investment on the condition of market economy. This article is based on the analysis of the farmers’ investment in Xinjiang, taking the forming process and use of farmers’ disposable income as clue, by positive analysis method, analyzing the quantitative relation between farmers' investment and main influencing factors. The key point to develop agriculture in Xinjiang is to encourage farmers to invest much more in farming work. The difficulty is how to raise farmers’ consuming level and how to make them willing to spend their savings on investment. The center to solve the problem on widening the sources of their consumption and savings is to increase farmers’ income.

十、A New Approach to Solving Mean-VaR Model: Saddle-Point Approximation and Genetic Algorithm

讲演者：张建龙，南粤风采26选5开奖财金学院

摘要：Mean-variance model has a wide application in optimizing asset portfolio. As VaR becomes more and more popular measure of risk in financial organization, mean-VaR model was built to optimize the asset portfolio on the basis of the same idea with mean-variance model and it is a nonlinear program. On the premise of convexity and differentiability of VaR, the solution meeting Kuhn-Tucker condition is the globally optimal for nonlinear program. In this paper a new approach is provided to solve mean-VaR model, and it need not meet the premises for VaR. At first, compute VaR taking advantage of saddle-point approximation and build connection between VaR and the asset positions in CreditRisk+. Secondly, find the optimal solution for the model by genetic algorithm. At last, a portfolio of bonds as an example is used to demonstrate the validity of the approach.

十一、The Language Strategy in Transnational Investment

讲演者：曹晓玮，南粤风采26选5开奖外国语学院

摘要：The provision of appropriate English education as a second language has been hot education debates in China since 2003. Given the persistence of online public, policy and theoretical debates, the role of foreign language education in schools and universities is a fundamental issue and must be addressed in practice, policy and theory for the benefit of young people, business and society.

Those who launched the debates in China opposed the provision of educational authorities because they pointed out that the predominance of foreign languages (particular English) leads to an issue of curriculum equity in schools and universities and study rights of citizens. The underlying issue of equivalence is lodged in what is deemed to be appropriate, reasonable and equitable when students and work force are faced with a forced choice to adopt English and to pass various examinations of it set by different authorities whereas other studies of youth, sometimes middle-aged Chinese, reveal that people manage to weave themselves bright future without the same reluctance.

Similar debates occurred in the United States when the National Council of Organizations of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL), in collaboration with the Chinese Language Teachers Association (CLTA) and the Chinese Language Association of Secondary-Elementary Schools (CLASS), undertook a collaborative project entitled The Chinese Language Field Initiative (CLFI) between 2001 and 2004. The purpose of CLFI was to strengthen the architecture of the Chinese language field at all levels in the United States.

The disputes of the same kind in other countries such as the UK, Korea, pointed to crucial problems: Does the cost of learning a foreign language pay off? Should a country take a language strategy as one of the important strategies in its international economic activities? This paper puts forward the affirmative answer to the questions   and emphasizes on the economic significance through analyzing some data of the international investments in China.

十二、Venture Capital in Australia and in China

讲演者：李朝晖，南粤风采26选5开奖财金学院

摘要：This paper compared the venture capital (VC) activities between in China and in Australia. Results showed that there existed great difference in sources of funds, industry preference and exit channels between two countries’ venture capital industry. These differences mainly came from their operating backgrounds especially financial background. Australia had a developed financial market to provide stable funds sources and flexible exit channels. But Australia’s VC firms favored traditional industry more than high technology industry. China had a defective stock market and a confined insurance market that obstructed the development of China’s VC industry greatly. So, to further VC industry to support the development of high technology industry, China’s government and Australia’s government should take different measures.
