动机理论对英美概况教学的应用价值研究

在二语习得中存在着很多影响二语学习的因素。其中,动机理论对学习者的二语习得影响很大,一直以来都受到语言学家们的广泛关注。早期的外语学习动机研究一直以Gardner的社会心理模式为主流,自九十年代起,学习动机研究逐渐呈现多元化。本文分别从生物视角、行为主义视角、认知视角对各动机理论进行了总结,并对其在英美概况教学中的应用进行了初步探讨,旨在对英美概况教学提供借鉴。     

Cutting the costs of attrition: Results from the Indonesia Family Life Survey

Attrition is the Achilles heel of longitudinal surveys. Drawing on our experience in the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS), we describe survey design and field strategies that contributed to minimizing attrition over four waves of the survey. The data are used to illustrate the selectivity of respondents who attrit from the survey and, also the selectivity of respondents who move from the place they were interviewed at baseline and are subsequently interviewed in a new location. The results provide insights into the nature of selection that will arise in studies that fail to track and interview movers. Attrition, and types of attrition, are related in complex ways to a broad array of characteristics measured at baseline. In addition, the evidence suggests attrition may be related to characteristics that are not observed in our baseline. Integrating IFLS with data from a Survey of Surveyors, we describe characteristics of both the interviewers and the interview that predict attrition in later waves. These characteristics point to possible strategies that may reduce levels of attrition and may also reduce the impact of attrition on the interpretation of behavioral models estimated with longitudinal data.     

Do your tax problems make tax evasion seem more justifiable? Evidence from a survey experiment

Taxpayers often view tax rules and filing processes as complicated. I study whether the perceived tax uncertainty among peers makes tax evasion more acceptable among the general public. I find strong supportive evidence for this hypothesis using a survey experiment and a large representative sample of the German population. Providing randomized information that others are uncertain about how to file their taxable income decreases individual support for tax compliance. This suggests that subjects judge tax evasion less harshly in response to this peer information. Studying related heterogeneous treatment effects, I find that both older and left-wing subjects are more responsive to tax uncertainty of others. Less harsh views on evasion are persistent for very high compliance levels in a follow-up survey.     

我国企业利用FTA政策的调查与分析

目前,我国已经与世界其他国家或地区签订了4个FTA协定。从理论上讲,这些协定将推动我国企业的对外出口,而我国企业也会在出口中积极利用这些FTA政策。然而事实如何呢?本文首先介绍了企业调查背景及对一些理论问题在实践上的反思,然后对企业利用FTA政策的状况给予描述,并在其后分析了我国出口企业利用FTA政策较少的原因。在以上分析的基础上,本文最后给出了扩大我国出口企业利用FTA政策的建议。     

A NOTE ON MAIL SURVEYS AND RESPONSE RATES IN LOGISTICS RESEARCH

Logistics researchers frequently use mail surveys to collect data. This paper documents the decline in response rates to surveys reported in JBL, and presents a content analysis of mail survey results reported in two leading logistics journals, the Journal of Business Logistics and the International Journal of Physical Distribution and Logistic Management. One interesting finding is the more questionnaires mailed out in a given study, the lower the response rate.
