Competing Perspectives on the Liberalization of China’s Foreign Trade and Investment Regime

Using an institutionalist reading of the capability approach, I advocate policies for enhancing financial capabilities via financial inclusion. There are 34 million unbanked and underbanked households in the USA (with 68 million adults), many of whom rely on alternative financial services providers (AFSPs). Rather than castigate AFSPs for the predatory practices of some in the industry, this paper argues that a regulated industry can be integral to meeting needs of lower-to-moderate income communities. A typology of existing financial services in the USA is the basis for presenting these proposals. The policies I evaluate concern the economy's structures and institutions rather than focusing on an individual's or a household's financial literacy.

发达市场经济国家住房保障制度及其启示

美国、新加坡与英国是世界上住房问题解决得比较好的国家,其住房保障制度建设也各具特色：美国实施的是在强大的法律支持下的市场化保障制度;新加坡采用的是政府主导的住房公积金制度;英国执行的是社会福利式的住房保障制度。我国应当结合当前住房问题,借鉴三国的经验,完善住房保障制度,保证中低收入阶层住房权利的实现。     

A New Frontier in the Battle Against Smoking: An Exploratory Investigation of Low-Income Adult Smokers

ABSTRACT

This paper fills an important gap in the marketing literature by examining the drivers of risky behaviors such as smoking among the economically disadvantaged. Smoking rates and smoking-related illnesses are on the rise in this group and previous research has not adequately considered the efforts of smoking cessation marketing campaigns and anti-smoking policy directives. Data were gathered from 729 ethnically diverse, low-income consumers. Logistic regression analysis revealed that depression, gender, race, and age are significant predictors of risky behavior (smoking) in this group. The implications of the findings for demarketing campaigns and public policy programs are discussed and future research directions are identified.     

Family Matters: Rankings Within Fund Families and Fund Inflows

Abstract:  This paper examines the influence of the position of a fund within its family on its subsequent net-inflows. Our empirical study of the US equity mutual fund market shows that reaching a top position within the family leads to large inflows. These inflows accrue beyond those expected, given the performance of the fund in its respective market segment. The effect is much stronger in large families than in small families. We also find that inflows significantly increase if a fund moves into the top positions within its family from one year to another. These results lead to competition within the fund family and to important risk taking incentives for fund managers.     

Women and work: what role do social norms play?

Against the background of the current (economic) research which concentrates particularly on individual and structural factors, this paper examines if and to what extent social norms (in terms of attitudes towards gender roles and work commitment) can make a complementary statement in explaining women’s employment status and number of working hours. The impact is presumed to be enhanced through norms shared by people belonging to the same households, peer groups, and by residents of the same region. The analysis relies on a rich German dataset and employs a probit model with sample selection. The results highlight, among other things, the importance of the ‘relevant others’ (particularly partners living in the same household and peers sharing similar social and work characteristics, but not necessarily geographical proximity) in explaining women’s employment status.     

关于完善现行生育政策的思考

持续了30年的现行生育政策,在对人口控制发挥巨大作用的同时,也在积累负面人口、经济、社会效应:推动人口年龄结构畸形,加速人口老龄化;挤压农民进行生育性别选择;对城乡人群生育权利限定不平等;阻碍新生代教育素质提高;产生大量非意愿独生子女家庭,积聚家庭发展风险和父母养老困境;在城乡户籍一体化改革背景下,该政策可执行性越来越弱等。调整现行生育政策,使之有利于人口长期均衡发展,有利于家庭生育权利保护,是一件迫在眉睫的事情。
