An economic evaluation of market development programmes for US dairy products

‘This study measured the effectiveness of US dairy export promotion programmes on increasing foreign demand and enhancing producers’ revenues. An import demand equation based on panel data was used to test whether export promotion has a positive and significant impact on US dairy exports. The effects of various promotion scenarios on the dairy market were then simulated, and benefit–cost ratios (BCRs) for these programmes were estimated. There were three key findings. First, the combined effort of public and private dairy export promotion expenditures had a positive and statistically significant impact on demand for US dairy products in the world market. The findings indicated that export promotion stimulated total dairy exports by 4.14 billion pounds, on average, per year, which represented 55.8% of total exports. Second, US dairy export promotion has been highly profitable for the nation’s dairy farmers. The calculated BCRs, based on assumed elasticity of supply, ranged from a low of 8.54 for the most elastic assumption to a high of 30.12. Third, from an optimality standpoint, dairy farmers are underinvesting in export promotion. The marginal BCRs ranged from a low of 3.79 to a high of 15.22, which means that, at the margin, increasing export promotion expenditures would be profitable for dairy farmers.     

补偿还是自主:互联网技术嵌入与工作压力作用机制变迁研究

本文基于“中国社会态度与社会发展状况调查”2014年的数据,从奖酬模型、工作要求-控制模型两个工作压力经典模型出发,考察了互联网技术轻度嵌入群体和重度嵌入群体在工作压力作用机制方面的异同.研究结果表明相较于轻度嵌入群体,互联网技术重度嵌入群体具有更高的群体同质性—以受过高等教育的未婚青年为主,更有可能承担高水平的工作压力,且工作压力作用机制具有一定的特点.如传统上具有一定缓解作用的奖酬模型不再显著;在工作要求-控制模型中,本应具有正向作用的团队合作因其带来额外的情感劳动而成为提升压力感的变量,仅有灵活工作时间仍然有利于劳动者工作压力的缓解.这意味着随着互联网技术的深入引入,工作的方式方法和内在机制都在发生变化.     

Firm location,political geography and environmental information disclosure

As the subjective and objective factors that influence corporate behaviours, political region and firm location are of great importance to environmental information disclosure (EID). With spatial and political geography as a research perspective, this article makes a study by using the samples of manufacturing listed companies from 2009 to 2011. As a result, we determine that regulatory distance and political geography had negative effects on EID, while political geography weakens regulatory distance’s function. After considering an enterprise’s administrative rank, we determined that when the rank is higher, regulatory distance has negative effects on EID; when the rank is lower, the effects are the opposite. Regarding political geography, it always weakened the regulatory distance’s function. Moreover, the effects are significant only when the enterprises had low governmental regulation. The study shows the effects that firm location and political geography have made on EID. At the same time, this study also gives theoretical and empirical evidence to the necessity of raising governmental regulatory effectiveness.

平衡行政视野下的现代西方城市治理新模式

政府行政模式是在长期的实践与理论探讨中发展演变而成的。平衡行政与其他行政模式相比,其关键在于:包括政府在内的地方治理多元主体的协作、互动。其特征有:合法性与正当性,规则性与契约性,积极公民性,民主与效率,责任与公平等。其优势在于:以利益网络取代政策网络,以购买服务取代提供服务,以央地互嵌取代国家空心化,以参与式治理取代代议制民主。

浅议民行检察和解工作机制

司法实践中,民行检察和解办案模式呈现出规范化的态势,并在＂检调对接＂机制的探索及社会矛盾化解中显示了其内在的适应性和创新性。2009年4月,嘉兴市检察院出台《关于民商事申请抗诉案件和解（调解）机制的若干规定（试行）》,提出在民商事抗诉工作中引进和解（调解）机制;2009年11月,浙江省人民检察院率先在全国省级检察院中出台《浙江省人民检察院关于民事、行政申诉案件调处工作的若干意见（试行）》,对全省的民事、行政申诉案件的调处工作做出规范。自2007年以来,嘉兴市民事、
