The Negative List in China—Causation, Content and Implication Chan-ting CHEN1, a, * 1No. 555 Longyuan Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai, China achenchanting@126.com * Corresponding author Keywords: Negative list, Free Trade Zone, China, Foreign investment. Abstract. This paper introduces current prevalent situation of the negative list in the field of international investment. It discusses that the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and the China-U.S. bilateral investment treaty negotiation directly promote the reform of Chinarsquo;s foreign investment regulation. The paper then explains the contents and development of three versions of the negative list in China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, and discusses its implications for foreign investors. Introduction The negative list management model has been a widely accepted regulation model for foreign investment. The multilateral negotiation within WTO framework has been impeded since the Doha Ro

Introduction: Categorizing Foreign Direct Investment Protection Mechanisms by Dr Wael Saghir With many investors and multinational corporations (MNCs) looking to explore new markets, the need to properly understand the limits of protection available to them becomes of paramount importance. Since MNCs and investors might experience a number of difficulties while venturing in states that offer minimal property rights protection to foreign investors, the need to understand what kind of protection is available to them prior to the investment phase and after the investment takes place in the host state is something that they are increasingly looking into. Classically, investors and MNCs, while venturing overseas, may experience a number of investment-related-risks. These have mainly been categorised as political, commercial and financial risks.1 Others suggested a more comprehensive approach to identifying the various risks associated with foreign direct investment

Internet finance and its influence on traditional banking De Bonis R, Silvestrini Amar Abstracts With the rapid development of information technology, Internet financial model gradually rise. This paper summarizes the Internet financial model on the basis of the concept, features and functions of Internet financial model in strategy, customer channels, financing, pricing and financial disintermediation of the impact of the traditional commercial bank. This paper argues that Internet financial model in the short term will not stand in the way of commercial bankamp;apos;traditional business model and profit, but in the long term commercial Banks should use of the Internet financial model, in order to obtain the new development. At the same time, the sustained and healthy development of the Internet industry to rely on Internet financial enterprise self-discipline, positive innovation, but also attract more customers, strengthen the construction of system security.

Clayton[4] 摘要：整体式桥台附近的土体由于桥面板的延长和缩短而承受着昼夜和季节性温度循环荷载的作用，导致了特殊的土体反应和复杂的土-结构相互作用问题，在设计中有很大的不确定性。本文介绍了在数值模型中利用实验室循环应力路径试验结果计算温度循环效应的方法，用三轴试验仪对整体式桥台后硬粘土试样和砂土试样在典型应力路径下进行了试验。这两种土壤的表现截然不同，随着荷载循环，硬粘土侧向应力的积累相对较小，而砂土的应力持续增加，超过了静止土压力并接近完全被动土压力。为探讨这些发现对土-桥台相互作用的影响，并从整体上估算作用于桥台的侧向应力，建立了一个（有限差分）数值模型，�
