The approach to transforming the traditional agricultural economy: a research on the multiple paths of poverty alleviation and transformation in rural China

Transforming a traditional agricultural economy into a modern economy is one of the main themes in economic development. Through theoretical and empirical analysis, this paper finds out that the key to transformation is to raise the economic value of people, to improve human capital investment and to match the stocks of physical and human capital. China’s rural economy is on the edge of economic take-off, and different zones may pursue different paths for transformation. The source of rural poverty is not the scarcity of income or consumption, but the deficiency of education, social security, medical care and economic opportunity, which we define as “capability poverty”. __________ Translated from The Journal of World Economy (世界经济), 2005,(2) (in Chinese)     

Business Strategy and Poverty Alleviation

Currently, entrepreneurs and corporations overwhelmingly do not view the alleviation of global poverty as a strategic priority. Yet business activity can have a negative as well as a positive effect on each distinctive form of poverty. In order to reduce poverty, entrepreneurs have to find ways of limiting the negative aspects. This might be achieved by deliberately augmenting strategies so that they can achieve a synthesis, in partnership with governments and NGO’s. Alan E. Singer is a reader in strategy at the university of Canterbury. He was the 2004/5 Aram chair of Business Ethics at Gonzaga. He is author of Strategy as Rationality (Avebury), Co editor (with Pat Werhane) of Business Ethics in Theory and Practice (Kluwer) and editor of Business Ethics and Strategy (Ashgate, forthcoming). He has written journal articles on many aspects of strategy and decision making and has served on the editorial boards of Journal of Business Ethics (to 2003), Human Systems Management, Journal of International Entrepreneurship, African Journal of Business Ethics and the Journal of Economic Development and Business Policy.     

论西部生态脆弱区贫困问题的文化救助

西部生态脆弱区与经济贫困有很强的相关性,并表现出许多共同的文化特征。这里的农民长期在日益边缘化的空间系统中生活,贫困状态得不到改善而形成一种落后的文化形态,导致环境持续恶化与贫困恶性循环。这种顽固性贫困按照一般经济和技术的方式扶贫很难奏效,不考虑贫困农民出路的生态建设也往往事与愿违。应该充分考虑文化救助的问题,吸取秦文化的精华,建立生态补偿与文化救助的促动机制,把环境保护、经济发展和文化建设结合起来进行综合治理。     

人力资本产权化的经济效应分析

人力资本理论与产权理论相结合，形成了一个新的研究领域，即人力资本产权理论。人力资本产权化，即实现人力资本产权的过程，就是在承认资本非同质性、强调人力资本在生产实践中重要地位的前提下，赋予劳动者与其人力资本相对应的产权权能、权益和权责的过程。实现人力资本产权化，赋予劳动者与其人力资本对等的产权，提高了劳动者的工作积极性，这对完善经济体制，提高经济运行质量，具有重要意义。     

甘肃农村贫困成因与反贫困模式的再认识

经济全球化悖论之对策研究

经济全球化过程中的负面效应如同经济全球化本身一样是客观的,问题的关键在于如何兴利除弊,特别是发展中国家、欠发展国家应采取积极的对策应对经济全球化的悖论.一是争取建立弱小国家平等地参与全球经济的机制,包括平等地参与制定游戏规则,制定自己的标准等;二是富国应为反贫困负起更大的责任,反贫困的内容是多方面的,发达国家应在多方面承担反贫困的义务;三是增加经济全球的稳定节点.
