Labour-Market Developments at a Time of Heightened Uncertainty

These are testing times for labour-market policies in Indonesia. The country faces two major challenges in an unpredictable international and domestic environment: providing people with better, more secure jobs and raising productivity to help raise living standards and reduce poverty. Over the past several months, new global and domestic threats to economic growth have emerged and may hinder progress in jobs and productivity. In the longer term, the government is searching for new strategies to increase productivity, with a focus on supply-side investments in skills and training. In relation to events abroad, uncertainty has increased over the early initiatives taken by the new US president and his nationalist administration, such as the scuttling of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. At home, likely to be of some significance for economic policy are mass actions that were levelled against Jakarta’s governor but de facto also directed against the government. In the medium term, our assessment of the record of the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) government on the labour market is mixed. Over the past two years, growth has been slower than under the previous administration and hence job creation has also been muted. The experience of a handful of countries in Asia suggests that the government might have done more to stimulate economic growth and create jobs. The disappointing performance of manufacturing stands out. Yet inflation has fallen and the slide in the value of international trade—both exports and imports—has reversed in recent months. Improved fiscal management and a generally successful tax amnesty are other pluses. There was also an unexpected but considerable fall in unemployment in 2015–16, according to labour-force statistics. Some policies, such as the new approach to minimum wages, seem to have had beneficial effects for both business and the economy, and Indonesia has done well in some international rankings, such as the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index. However, the picture for the medium to longer term seems less bright for the labour market. There has been much talk about raising productivity by improving skills through government support for investment in training and apprenticeships, as well as by expanding vocational training along the lines of the German model. Expanding tourism is seen as one solution to the lack of employment for young secondary- and tertiary-educated jobseekers. But we have an impression of policy-making on the run; often, the argument for government intervention has not been made clearly enough. We argue that Indonesia still lacks a coherent, well-thought-out plan to increase jobs and productivity.     

国家创新体系视角下的创新型企业建设工程绩效评价

从2006年起,科技部、国资委、全国总工会三部门联合启动了创新型企业建设工程,由此我国创新型企业建设进入快速发展阶段,经过多年的培育,创新型企业建设工程到底有没有取得预想的结果?本文采用非介入研究、对比研究、综合分析等方法,综合评价了创新型企业建设工程近几年来所取得的主要成效,发现创新型企业已经成为我国研发投入的主要力量,其自主创新能力与国际竞争力持续提高,对国民经济发展的贡献日益显著.与发达国家相比,我国研发经费所占GDP的比重较低、研发人员在劳动力中的比例较低、技术对外依存度较高、发明专利的申请有效率较低.     

1961～2013年塔城地区气候的时空变化特征

[目的]探究塔城地区气候的时空变化趋势及其与气象因子的关系.[方法]文章利用塔城地区7个气象站点1961~2013年的逐日气象资料,探究了气温、降水、日照时数、积温和潜在蒸散量的时空变化特征.[结果]1961~2013年塔城地区年平均气温、降水量和积温呈增加趋势,日照时数和潜在蒸散量呈减少趋势.1961~2013年塔城地区平均气温、降水量、日照时数、年潜在蒸散量、积温分别在1997、1967、1996、1989、1985年发生增加突变.平均气温、降水量、日照时数、积温存在明显的多尺度周期特征,即30年的大周期和15年的小周期变化.塔城地区平均气温的空间分布差异明显;大致呈现西高东低的空间分布特征;降雨量空间分布大致呈现西多东少的经线分布特征;日照时数大致呈现南短北长的维度地带性特征;潜在蒸散量存在自南向北逐渐减少的空间分布特征;积温的空间分布呈明显的自南向北逐渐减少的维度地带性特征.[结论]在全球气候变化下,较全面了解到新疆塔城地区气候变化趋势特征,对建立塔城地区气象预测与农业生产之间的预警,促进农业健康发展有很大的理论依据.     

关于"经济发展促进休闲质量提升"一般认识的实证研究——以经济发达的广东省为例

本文以经济发达的广东省为例,对其居民休闲生活的以下方面进行了研究:居民对休闲的认识;居民对闲暇时间的利用,闲暇时间的活动参与;居民对当前休闲生活的评价;影响其休闲生活的障碍;居民对未来休闲生活的期望。研究采用问卷方式,调查广东省居民闲暇时间内的生活状况,发现尽管广东省是中国目前经济最发达的省份之一,但是居民的休闲生活并没有得到很好的改善,其质量并没有随着国民经济的发展而提升。居民对现时的休闲生活并不感到满意,并期望其休闲生活质量得到很大提高。

PORTFOLIO CHOICE VIA QUANTILES

A portfolio choice model in continuous time is formulated for both complete and incomplete markets, where the quantile function of the terminal cash flow, instead of the cash flow itself, is taken as the decision variable. This formulation covers a wide body of existing and new models with law‐invariant preference measures, including expected utility maximization, mean–variance, goal reaching, Yaari's dual model, Lopes' SP/A model, behavioral model under prospect theory, as well as those explicitly involving VaR and CVaR in objectives and/or constraints. A solution scheme to this quantile model is proposed, and then demonstrated by solving analytically the goal‐reaching model and Yaari's dual model. A general property derived for the quantile model is that the optimal terminal payment is anticomonotonic with the pricing kernel (or with the minimal pricing kernel in the case of an incomplete market if the investment opportunity set is deterministic). As a consequence, the mutual fund theorem still holds in a market where rational and irrational agents co‐exist.

WIN7平台ARP网络攻防

为了确认Windows7平台下ARP欺骗攻击的防御能力,利用arpfree命令行工具,模拟三种不同的ARP网络攻击,分析攻击结果及对Windows7的性能影响,并检测ARP防火墙在面对以上攻击时的防御能力。未安装防火墙的Windows7可以防御ARPRequest攻击,但三种攻击都会显著的占用带宽资源。Windows7在防火墙的支持下,可以防御三种攻击,只能发现并阻断ARPRequest攻击,两种攻击仍然会占用大量用户的带宽与CPU资源。     

从日系车被砸谈车险理赔服务的改善

2012年9月以来,日系车辆接连被砸,保险公司是否需要理赔,不同层面给出不同的声音。日系车被砸保险公司该不该赔,应该从两个层面来分析,一是看适合的险别及保险责任,二是看事件的定性。由于保险公司目前没有对受损车辆开展赔付工作,部分保险公司仅对单独的玻璃破碎进行了赔付,而对于因砸车带来的车身损失进行了定损,尚未明确答复客户是否可以赔付。而砸车事件所带来的车险理赔与否之争,集中表现在对车险条款的争议方面。保险公司应该改善车险理赔服务,尽快统一理赔标准,加强突发事件的应对机制。
