《神偷奶爸2》：不再“卑鄙”

像《马达加斯加》里的企鹅三人组、《森林战士》里的蜗牛鼻涕虫组合、《怪物史莱克》中比主角还红的靴子猫以及《冰川世纪》中永远奔跑的瘦松鼠，格鲁家的小黄人又是一记光彩夺目的巨星级龙套。     

浑然一体的艺术

浑然一体的艺术●杨庆春用文学评论家梅朵先生的话说，谢晋导演的《鸦片战争》是“一次深刻的历史追问”。看完电影《鸦片战争》后，我更加明白了“影片的一个重要成功，是艺术家能够跨越时间空间的隔阂，创造了让你信服的历史场景、人物形象”。这些让人信服的历史场景、...     

被误读的宋子文

《不列颠百科全书》称“他是地球上最富有的人”;《亚洲华尔街日报》把他列入人类历史上曾经最富有的50人之一,并认为“20世纪40年代他可能就已是全球首富了”;国民党元老傅斯年称他“是一百年不遇的怪物”。     

硝烟中的抉择

看《美国狙击手》,我是冲着它入围第87届奥斯卡金像奖6项提名而去的,题材不新颖,情节不精彩,拍摄手法也很朴实,但这些都不妨碍它成为一部优秀的电影. 影片改编自一部传记,主人公克里斯·凯尔是美军的一名优秀狙击手,曾因多次保护同胞安全而成为“美国英雄”,成为大家口中的“传奇”.与此同时,英雄的背面是严重的战后创伤症(PTSD).凯尔意外的落幕令人唏嘘,在2013年2月2日,凯尔告别了妻子和孩子,到射击场去打靶,结果却不幸被另一位同样患有战后创伤症的退伍老兵枪杀.     

电影“大片”发行放映运作浅议

电影“大片”，是近年来电影艺术中的一个新词儿，所谓“大片”，一般来讲，是指投资高、质量高、影响大、卖座率高的“大制作”影片。这其中既有传统的故事片，也有现代高科技的三维动画片；既有进口片，也有国产片，例如《人猿泰山》、《指环王》、《狮子王》、《哈里波特》、《特洛伊》、《英雄》、《十面埋伏》等。

跟着自己而不是跟着小说的张艺谋

张艺谋确实是个“鬼才”,导演的影片部部都弄得挺“火”。他的成功究竟更多地在于他自身的艺术才华还是在于原作?从他的4部知名影片来看(《红高粱》改编自莫言的同名小说,《菊豆》改编自刘恒《伏羲伏羲》,《大红灯笼高高挂》改编自苏童《妻妾成群》,《秋菊打官司》改编自陈源斌《万家诉讼》),原作固然优秀,但电影改动很大,除故事主线外几乎都脱离了原著,人物个性与情节发展都自成一体,都具有张艺谋本人独特的审美个性(红色主调)及价值取向特征(强烈的反封建专制意识)。     

声音足迹

在唱机一旁,静静躺着一只金属的弧形怪物,怪物的两端各有一个耳罩。如今的你我都知道那是一只耳机,但对当时的人们而言,这简直就像原始人看见电视机一样,且,它还会唱歌!耳机最初出现的时候,人们都当它是怪物,避之不及。1937年8月18日,拜尔·尤根先生邀请朋友到他位于柏林的发烧房里听歌剧《阿依达》(Aida)。当朋友来到了发烧房时,却只见唱机,不见扩音机及扬声器的踪影。在唱机一旁,静静躺着一只金属的弧形怪物,怪物的两端各有一个耳罩。拜尔·尤根先生翻开了历史的新篇章,人们见证了Beyerdynamic DT48耳机的诞生,就上世纪三十年代的技术而言,它的频带宽度竟然达到了16Hz至     

分裂的语言与畸变的社会--《中国一九五七》的语言学解析

《中国一九五七》的成功之处就在于作者深刻地体会到语言的“物质性”以及它巨大的力量并在文本中成功地展示了它。实际上,《中国一九五七》的真正价值在于其文本形式的创新性:它是一部真正运用语言学理念创作完成的小说。在整部小说中,“语言”本身（而不是传统意义上的人物、情节）成为文本的核心。     

电影《神探》的经济学感想

我对电影一直都很挑剔，很少电影能禁得起用经济学来分析，因为这会一直让人停留在电影之外，可以清楚地感受虚构和现实的差别。但是《神探》除外。 我是正月初六在PPLIVE上和妻子一起看的《神探》，刘青云的演技越来越纯熟，但是最吸引我的却是电影对人性深刻的剖析和对“适者生存”残酷现实的理解。在影片中，杜琪峰将其天才的导演手法与韦家辉“精密”的情节设置完美地结合在了一起，展现出了一个充满“多重人格”的复杂世界。

On the Exportability of Korean Movies

The authors investigate factors that may affect the exportability of Korean films released from 1996 to 2002. They employ a binary probit model to test the exportability. The findings indicate that the number of screens, action genre, and year dummies of 2000 and 2001 are important determinants of exportability in the overall model. The authors tried to capture the dynamic aspect of exportability by holding outside factors constant. Over the previous years (1996–99), they found that factors that reduce the asymmetric information problem are important predictors of exportability. On the other hand, the star power and number of screens exhibited in the domestic market are strong predictors of exportability during the recent period. This result confirms that the recent expansion and success of the Korean movie industry (such as the effect of Hallyu ) serves as an effective signal to the international film market. Their analysis of cultural discount is inconclusive.     

经济学究竟是严密自然科学还是行为科学?——A.罗森伯格经济学哲学思想解读

A.罗森伯格对经济学在认知地位上的两重性或两难困境有深刻的认识。一方面,经济学很像标准的科学理论,同时经济学定律本应有资格成为科学定律。罗森伯格认为,基于统一科学理想,并追寻自然过程的自动平衡的机理,在典型科学理论(牛顿力学与达尔文自然选择学说)和在经济学中同样取得极大成功。然而另一方面,经济学在预测力上却远为逊色。为了破解这一两难,罗森伯格把预测失败的症结归咎为人类行为所特有的意向性。换句话说,经济学毕竟与自然科学不同,它与其他社会科学拥有对信念-行动-欲望的意向性解释框架的承诺。     

The influences of Organizational Routines on Establishing Dynamic Competitive Advantages

As an important part in unique resources and capability of enterprises, organizational routines, on one hand, promote the success of enterprises, on the other hand, influence the future development of enterprises. Especially, organizational routines have the influences on the two factors of building up dynamic competitive advantages-strategic change and strategic flexibility and further influence the establishment of dynamic competitive advantages. This paper involves detailed analysis on the influences of organizational routines and on the approaches of establishing dynamic competitive advantages and puts forward the relevant countermeasures.

The status of happiness

Ever since the advent of advanced commercial societies in the West, writers and thinkers have speculated upon and theorised about the relationship between status and happiness. For example, in the eighteenth century, Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued that the principal source of human unhappiness was our tendency to make invidious comparisons with each other when isolated individuals in the presocial state of nature were forced together by circumstances. This increased proximity fuelled competition for standing in the eyes of others which is the origin of the pervasive unhappiness that he believed was one of the hallmarks of modern civilisation. I argue that this account is partly correct and partly incorrect. On the one hand, there is now substantial credible evidence that supports the view that relative position matters much more to individuals than do absolute levels of wealth. The competition for status that Rousseau saw as a defining feature of modern civilisation has left the vast majority of people much less happy than they would otherwise be by fostering costly expenditure arms races that reduce objective welfare and significantly increase stress and anxiety. On the other hand, there is also mounting evidence that he was wrong that this situation is unnatural. According to some evolutionary biologists, human beings evolved in an environment of scarcity and intense resource competition, where each individual??s position was closely linked to his/her prospects for survival and reproductive success. For most of human history having high relative standing was instrumental in helping individuals to achieve the objectives they instinctively care most deeply about, namely survival and reproductive success.     

Public Policy and Innovative Capabilities: The Case of Philips' IT Activities

The main aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of public policy on innovative capabilities of firms, focusing on, on the one hand, the measure of sheltering provided by the policies and, on the other hand, the effects of policies on industrial life cycles and on the life cycle related patterns of firms' behaviour. The paper deals with one sector, IT, and discusses EU and Dutch policies directed toward this sector. Furthermore, a case will be presented concerning Philips' ventures in the IT sector. The way in which public policy influenced the innovative capabilities of Philips helps to explain the relative success of the various projects.

Demographics and real interest rates: Inspecting the mechanism

The demographic transition can affect the equilibrium real interest rate through three channels. An increase in longevity—or expectations thereof—puts downward pressure on the real interest rate, as agents build up their savings in anticipation of a longer retirement period. A reduction in the population growth rate has two counteracting effects. On the one hand, capital per-worker rises, thus inducing lower real interest rates through a reduction in the marginal product of capital. On the other hand, the decline in population growth eventually leads to a higher dependency ratio (the fraction of retirees to workers). Because retirees save less than workers, this compositional effect lowers the aggregate savings rate and pushes real rates up. We calibrate a tractable life-cycle model to capture salient features of the demographic transition in developed economies, and find that its overall effect is a reduction of the equilibrium interest rate by at least one and a half percentage points between 1990 and 2014. Demographic trends have important implications for the conduct of monetary policy, especially in light of the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates. Other policies can offset the negative effects of the demographic transition on real rates with different degrees of success.     

Labour market deregulation, 'flexibility' and innovation

Labour ‘flexibility’ is often portrayed as importantto competitive success. Using evidence from an original surveyof UK firms, this paper investigates the relationships betweenfirms' use of, on the one hand, various flexible work practices,human resource management techniques, and industrial relationssystems and, on the other hand, the innovative activities ofthose firms. Our results suggest that the sort of ‘lowroad’ labour flexibility practices encouraged by labourmarket deregulation—short-term and temporary contracts,a lack of employer commitment to job security, low levels oftraining, and so on—are negatively correlated with innovation.
