貨幣爭霸 花落誰家 (The race is on for the new world currency)
近年來,數碼貨幣在世界各地日常經濟活動中已擔當不可或缺的角色,例如中國內地的支付系統,就以微信和支付寶居主導地位,數以億計的消費者已習慣以電子錢包取代現金。臉書正籌備發行新加密幣Libra,標榜為與一籃子官方貨幣掛鈎的「穩定幣」(stablecoin)。在非洲,肯尼亞電訊公司Safaricom亦已推出手機支付程式M-Pesa。

湾区争雄重育才 融汇中西港占优
去年夏天笔者刚从洛杉矶移居到香港这座阔别多年的城市,就接到所属经管学院通知,因学生报名人数突然几近翻倍,需多教一门应用计量经济学的硕士课程。2019冠状病毒病疫情下,香港特区的大学还能增产扩容,实属难得。

The Debt-laden Global Economy
政府以發債融資來帶動經濟活動,是司空見慣的例行公事。但債務是把雙刃劍,適當的發債規模和所得資金的有效運用,可以帶來更多更早的生產和消費,而錯誤的資金投放,特別在過度發債的情況下,不單浪費資源,亦會成為將來的負累。

The Copernican Revolution of Economics
被要求預測股票市場或宏觀經濟表現,是經濟學家經常遇到的「職業風險」。經濟學家對此往往無可奉告,皆因研究股市或宏觀經濟現象的學者為數甚少。所幸芝加哥大學經濟學教授利維特(Steve Levitt)在其暢銷名著《怪癖經濟學》(Freakonomics)中向大眾展示,經濟學家也會分析如警察數目和墮胎合法化對罪案率的影響、相撲手在賽事中作弊的誘因等,看似不屬於經濟學核心研究的問題。但有賴今年諾貝爾經濟學獎三位得獎者:加州大學伯克萊分校的卡德教授(David Card)、麻省理工學院的安格里斯特教授(Joshua Angrist)、史丹福大學的因本斯教授(Guido Imbens)的奠基工作和努力宣導,此等問題已經成為經濟學研究的主流之一。

The competition of three currencies
2008年10月,一個名叫中本聰的作者,將一篇論文傳到一個密碼學的電郵名單,其中詳細解釋如何構建一個去中心化的數字資產。2009年1月,第一批這樣的資產誕生了,正是今天鼎鼎大名的比特幣。 比特幣在誕生早期價格非常廉宜,曾經有用5000個比特幣購買一個意大利薄餅的紀錄。這個食客現在一定會後悔,本文執筆之時,每個比特幣價值約為19000美元,那個薄餅現價相當於7.4億港元! 比特幣有兩個優點。第一,它的總數是有一個數學上限的,並不如政府發行的貨幣沒有上限;政府濫發貨幣後果可大可小,輕則侵蝕貨幣的價值,重則引發經濟危機,甚至產生戰亂。第二,比特幣以匿名方式持有和使用,這固然會吸引犯罪分子,但同時也會是熱愛自由和重視保護私有產權的人所嚮往。
