国内很多学者认为 “刘易斯拐点”已到来，中国经济即将进入一个劳动力短缺所导致的低速经济增长和经济结构被倒逼调整的阶段，我想请问李教授怎么看待这个问题？

李老师：
您好！
看到您给小孩子们上的《经济学（喜洋洋与灰太郎版）》，深知您对理论与实践完美结合的一贯追求。
我的问题是：
“资本深化过度”一直是计划经济的显著特点，其造成大量的资源错配，以及经济增长与人民福利的脱节，那么造成“资本深化过度”的主要原因有那些呢？我的观察是地方ZF征税的冲动和“扭曲之手”，不知道对不对，或还有那些因素？您怎么看待这一问题？如果研究者一个主题（尽管已经有很多文献），有什么可能的或好的切入点吗？如果有这个切入点，你能不能推荐1-2篇关于这个切入点近期文章呢？谢谢您。

李老师:
您好!
请问你对金融,电力,电信等国有企业的深化改革怎么看?不知道世行今年的中国继续市场化报告能否在中国进一步推行?谢谢.
