On efficiency of the ratio estimator

Summary The exact mean square error for the ratio estimator of a finite population total based on simple random sampling without replacement is shown to have an expected value less than that of the variance of the ratio estimator based on Midzuno’s scheme, under a usual super-population model.     

仲裁裁决司法审查制度的完善

仲裁裁决是仲裁庭对仲裁当事人争议的实体问题所作出的结论性意见，它与终局判决具有相同的效力。为了保证仲裁裁决的公正性和仲裁程序的合法性，仲裁裁决的既判力仍应受到法律必要的控制与审查。为了保证仲裁裁决的稳定性和权威性，对仲裁裁决司法审查应限定在一定范围之内。科学的划定司法审查的范围，即对仲裁裁决进行适度的审查，不仅有助于仲裁优势的充分发挥，保证仲裁价值目标的实现，还能促进我国仲裁制度的发展和完善。     

论普通商事仲裁管辖对法院管辖的排除

有效的仲裁协议是仲裁机构受理商事纠纷的前提，也是排除法院管辖权的依据。当事人有关仲裁协议有效性的争议将会动摇仲裁管辖的基础。本文从分析仲裁管辖的依据入手，探讨了仲裁管辖与法院管辖之间的界限，结合国际上仲裁管辖制度的最新发展，提出我国应进一步放宽对仲裁管辖权的限制，以促进仲裁事业的发展。     

Non-commitment in performance evaluation and the problem of information distortions

Auditing is modeled in a sequential game without commitment. The manager must decide whether and where to audit a worker's output, taking into account all interim information he has obtained. The worker will work just hard enough (and show it) to divert the manager from making an audit or cover up, withholding information about his work to make an audit more difficult. This usually raises the costs of setting work incentives, so incentives are softened, sometimes drastically. Moreover, when a worker's on-the-job information is valuable for entrepreneurial decisions, work incentives must be softened to improve the internal flow of information.     

Experimental evidence of gender effects in arbitration decisions

The study investigates arbitrator gender and arbitrator-grievant gender effects on the decisions of 146 arbitrators rendered on a hypothetical sexual harassment case. Gender was not found to have a statistically significant effect on the decisions examined. However, other characteristics of the arbitrator—level of experience and level of education—were found to influence the arbitral decision.     

知识产权侵权归责原则探析——谈无过错责任原则的不适用

知识产权侵权损害赔偿采用何种归责原则,事关知识产权权利人的权益及普遍公众的公共利益.无过错责任原则在知识产权侵权损害赔偿领域的适用打破了知识产权权利人和公共利益的平衡,影响了知识产权制度平衡机制的正常运转,歪曲了知识产权激励机制的本意,束缚了一般民事主体创造知识产品的热情.无过错责任原则在知识产权领域的适用有其天然的弊端和不足,而TRIPS协议第45条也并未将该原则作为一般原则来对待,即便按照民法学方法分析,知识产权侵权损害赔偿也不应适用无过错责任原则.     

The “Iron Law of Paternalism” in Employee Grievances and Arbitration? A Comparison of Disciplinary and Nondisciplinary Cases

In the criminology literature, the iron law of paternalism suggests that women receive less serious sanctions in the judicial system. This examination of three years of grievance outcomes (n= 1216) and arbitration outcomes (n= 1146) tests this iron law in the context of organizational disciplinary and dispute resolutions. These data, across several levels of outcomes (win, lose, compromise), controlling for the severity of grievances (disciplinary/nondisciplinary) and arbitrations (termination/nontermination) provide no support for the paternalistic thesis. Moreover, we find no support for the paternalistic thesis with regard to either the incidence or length of suspensions as a function of gender.     

北宋孤幼、户绝财产检校制度辨析

财产检校制度是宋代朝廷对社会孤幼家庭的财产或者有争议财产进行代管、到期归还的一种强制性财产管理制度,主要有孤幼财产检校和户绝财产检校.其中前者直接承袭唐五代,后者于太平兴国二年正式确立.北宋前期开封府的财产检校一般由内侍省和三司临时受朝廷旨意施行,开封府检校库约于庆历四年出现,用以管理并存放检校财产,地方州军存放在军资库(元符二年后存放在常平库).这是中国古代社会产权制度一大发展.     

临时仲裁在我国金融仲裁机制中的引入分析

我国临时仲裁机制的缺失带来了种种弊端,作为完善路径的选择,我国可以采用"试点方式"逐步将临时仲裁机制引入仲裁体系。当前金融仲裁方兴未艾,金融纠纷解决的特性及其对临时仲裁的需求,使得金融仲裁成为进行临时仲裁"试点"工作的适当领域。在具体制度构建方面,可从临时金融仲裁的法律地位与基本原则、仲裁协议内容与效力、仲裁员选任与监督、与仲裁机构的支持及法院对临时金融仲裁的监督等方面进行。     

论无权处分的法律效力

无权处分的法律效力一直就有争论,相关论文也非常多。在主张物权行为与债权行为区分对待和坚持物权行为有因性的前提下,对无权处分的法律效力加以区分控制。
