SEN'S CAPABILITY APPROACH AND GENDER INEQUALITY: SELECTING RELEVANT CAPABILITIES

This paper investigates how Amartya Sen's capability approach can be applied to conceptualize and assess gender inequality in Western societies. I first argue against the endorsement of a definitive list of capabilities and instead defend a procedural approach to the selection of capabilities by proposing five criteria. This procedural account is then used to generate a list of capabilities for conceptualizing gender inequality in Western societies. A survey of empirical studies shows that women are worse off than men on some dimensions, better off on a few others, and similarly placed on yet others, while for some dimensions the evaluation is unclear. I then outline why, for group inequalities, inequalities in achieved functionings can be taken to reflect inequalities in capabilities, and how an overall evaluation could be arrived at by weighting the different capabilities.     

交际教学法在大学英语课堂中应用之略谈

项目教学法在“数据库技术应用”教学过程中的运用

在高职院校课程教学中,以传统讲授为主的课堂教学方式,重理论轻应用的教学实践,一方面不能很好的实现高职院校人才培养的目标,同时也极大地挫伤学生的学习积极性。因此,笔者结合近几年教学经验,尝试使用新的教学方法来改变这个局面,而项目教学法恰好能满足这个局面的需求,既能实现数据库技术应用课程的教学目标,也充分的调动学生的学习积极性,提高教学质量。     

探索项目教学法在管理学基础课程中的运用

管理学基础作为一门实践性较强的综合性课程,在教学过程中不能过于理论化,设计以实践为导向的教学方法是非常必要的。将项目教学法引入到管理学基础课程的教学中,是实践为导向教学理念的具体体现,对于培养学生的专业兴趣,全面提高学生的职业技能和综合素质非常有帮助。     

无权处分场合买卖合同的效力与权利瑕疵担保

《民法典》第597条第1款的主要规范目的是,无权处分不影响买卖合同的效力。只要承认权利人的追认会产生所有权变动的效果,就适宜承认存在效力未定的处分行为。区分负担行为和处分行为,在解释论上具有可取之处。在传统债法上,无权处分致使给付不能的,存在适用债务不履行责任抑或权利瑕疵担保责任的争论,两方面规定在构成要件上有实质区别。我国《民法典》合同编实行救济进路,第三人享有所有权、抵押权等权利致使所有权不能转移的,当事人可以选择适用《民法典》第597条第1款或第612条,两者在违约责任的构成要件和效果上并无实质区别。《民法典》第612条中规定的第三人“享有权利”文义范围较窄,应当对其进行目的论扩张,将第三人“过去享有权利”且主张权利的一些情形纳入其中;即使买受人构成善意取得,仍可认定出卖人违反权利瑕疵担保义务。     

武汉城市圈农地城市流转微观福利效应研究

研究目的：研究农地城市流转对农户这一微观主体的福利效应,为改善城镇化进程中失地农民的福利水平提供借鉴。研究方法：在森的可行能力理论下,选取影响农户福利效应的因素,并采用层次分析法确定这些影响因素的权重,最后运用改进的庇古福利效应测算方法对失地农民失地前后的福利变化进行定量测度。研究结果：短期内农地城市流转微观福利效应值为23.8203,长期内农地城市流转微观福利效应值为-30.3470,结果与现实情况相符。研究结论：建立完善农村基本社会保障体系是政府提高失地农民福利水平的主要途径。     

Moral Dilemmas and Factual Claims: Some Comments on Paul Krugman's Defense of Cheap Labor

In 1998, Paul Krugman published a collection of short polemical essays on economic themes under the title The Accidental Theorist And Other Dispatches from the Dismal Science . Among those essays was one entitled "In Praise of Cheap Labor: Bad Jobs at Bad Wages Are Better than No Jobs at All". This brief article is an extended comment on that piece, which happened to contain factual claims central to the empirical research program of one of us, and ethical and political issues of concern to us both. Our view is that in his essay on cheap labor, (as indeed in many of the others in the collection), Krugman makes some pungent and telling criticisms of other writers on economic matters and—in this particular case—of some analytically weak and ethically dubious claims which are frequently espoused by contemporary anti-capitalist and anti-globalization radicals conventionally regarded as being on the political left. But at the same time—or so we shall argue—his own polemic is, in important ways, undermined by the narrowness of the theoretical framework within which it is constructed, and most especially, by Krugman's almost total lack of an historical perspective in which to see either contemporary debates over global capitalism or the ethical issues at their heart.

基于重心法的外商直接投资与我国环境污染关系研究

利用重心分析的方法,对我国1987年—2004年间我国实际吸收外商直接投资量和六类污染指标排放量的重心移动路径进行描绘和关联分析,发现外商直接投资对于我国环境污染程度并无直接的影响。并通过考察外商直接投资在39类工业行业中的比重,以及这些行业产生污染排放的状况,从原因上进一步解释了这一结论。     

监管宽容下的存款保险定价应用研究

本文介绍了Merton期权模型及其扩展对存款保险进行定价的方法,并采用考虑监管宽容的Ronn and Verma(1986)模型来估算上市银行的保费率,针对我国存在大量的非上市银行提出采用"市场对照"法,用上市银行的数据间接的估计出非上市银行的风险特征,再带入Ronn and Verma(1986)模型间接地估计出非上市银行的存款保险费率。本文为我国实行基于风险调整的差别存款保险费率提供了可行的操作方案,最后通过实证研究提出一些政策建议以促进我国存款保险制度的建立。
