提升微观经济学教学有效性的探讨

微观经济学是经管类专业的专业基础课,在实际的教学中,教学效果并不理想。究其原因,主要是由于授课方式、授课主体和授课对象等多方面的配合不当。因此,增加案例式教学、提倡教师参加社会生产实践锻炼、调动学生学习的主动性、引入先进的教学方式的教学手段是提升微观经济学教学有效性的重要途径。     

发展中区域的区域经济发展——来自发展经济学与区域经济学的理论整合

发展经济学与区域经济学整合为发展区域经济学，它把发展中区域的特征分析作为其研究起点，把结构调整与战略规划的编制作为其研究主体，把区域经济政策制定和区域经济管理的实施作为其研究归宿。在深入分析与研究区域发展实际、发展战略和发展规划中，引导区域经济更加科学地发展。     

Entry of foreign banks in the People's Republic of China: a survival analysis

This study uses survival analysis to examine the factors determining the decision of a foreign bank to establish a branch in the PRC. Bank size and international diversification are found to have a significant positive impact on the probability of entry. Banks from Asia have particular cultural and locational advantages in this context and are found to be more likely to enter this market. Market conditions in the host economy, exemplified by an improved political environment and increasing levels of international trade, are also found to be significant determinants of the timing of entry. Access to China's banking sector will increase upon entry to the WTO and again cultural links and location are likely to play a key role for foreign entrants, particularly for those operating in local currency markets.     

讨论式教学和填鸭式教学的经济学分析

对于填鸭式教学和讨论式教学两种教学模式的效果,目前的研究大多是从教学经验出发进行总结。或者从心理学或哲学的角度进行分析。运用新古典经济学、制度经济学的理论对填鸭式教学和讨论式教学的绩效进行分析,通过比较可以发现：讨论式教学无论在教学绩效还是在教育绩效方面都要远远优于填鸭式教学,从而为讨论式教学提供了经济学的理论支撑。     

新中国60年旅游产业发展的回顾与总结

以我国改革开放为标志,中国旅游产业发展可划分为前29年与后31年两个时期。前29年旅游产业的发展可分为两个阶段:1949年10月～1964年5月为拓荒阶段,1964年6月～1978年12月为雏形阶段。后31年旅游产业的发展可分为三个阶段:1978年12月～1984年9月为旅游产业的计划机制与市场机制同时并存的"双轨制阶段",1984年10月～1999年底为旅游产业的市场化阶段,2000年至今为旅游产业的规范与完善阶段。     

Teacher Training and Teacher Optimism about the American Economic System

The amount and type of economic-education training teachers receive have predictable effects on the teachers' optimism about the future of the American economic system.     

An Analysis of the Marginal Products of the One- and Two-Semester Introductory Economics Courses

The authors examine whether the administrative location of an economics department in a business versus liberal arts school alters the character of the economics program provided to undergraduate majors. To test this hypothesis, they constructed a curricular character index (CCI) based on a detailed accounting of assorted dimensions of an economics major. The CCI served as the dependent variable in a regression model that controlled for other institutional attributes that could influence curricular character. The sample of 148 primarily undergraduate institutions was selected to impose some semblance of a ceteris paribus environment. Contrary to earlier findings, the empirical results strongly indicate that the administrative location of an economics department in business versus liberal arts schools significantly changes the character of the program offered to majors.     

多元力量参与下的外生型经济变革——以民国江宁实验县的经济改良为中心

民国30年代,江宁实验县开展了一场经济改良运动,具体举措包括救济农村金融以及蚕桑业和农林业的改良。在这一改良中,政府、大学、银行都发挥了重要的力量。然而,民众的主动性没有得到足够的重视,这场变革的内生动力始终没有得到有效的激发。因此这一改良最终所能达到的深度和广度必然受限。     

中国经济学三大理论的局限性

作为致用之学的经济学理论在中国已经形成了西方经济学、马克思经济学、马克思主义经济学、发展经济学、制度经济学等流派,从而打破了20世纪80年代以前马克思主义经济学一统天下的格局,实现了经济学理论的多元化。但是,由于中国具体的经济实践和制度环境上的原因,西方经济学、马克思主义经济学和发展经济学三大经济学理论的中国化具有十分重要的理论意义和现实意义。     

经济发展的金融支持—以四川省为例

改革开放特别是西部大开发以来,四川省在金融、经济增长方面都取得了重大成就.基于内生经济增长模型对四川金融发展与经济增长的关系的实证分析表明:四川省经济增长与金融发展存在正向关系且经济增长是金融发展的Granger原因;但储蓄转向于投资的比例与四川省经济增长之间是负相关关系且不存在Granger原因,这可以得出四川省金融发展滞后于经济增长的结论.因而四川省应大力发展金融产业,将成都建成西南金融中心.     

Core Requirements for the Economics Major

In this article, the authors are the first to describe the core economics curriculum requirements for economics majors at all American colleges and universities, as opposed to a sample of institutions. Not surprisingly, principles of economics is nearly universally required and implemented as a two-semester course in 85 percent of economics major programs. Most schools do not prescribe the order in which the principles sequence is taken. The intermediate courses are commonly required, although variation exists across institution types. While the quantitative requirement for the major has increased since 1980, significant differences exist among institutions and by academic rankings. As compared to 1950, there has been an increase in the number of required economics credit hours for the major.     

The Status of Econometrics in the Economics Major: A Survey

In this article, the authors describe the place of econometrics in undergraduate economics curricula in all American colleges and universities that offer economics majors as listed in the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges 2010” guide (U.S. News & World Report 2009). Data come from online catalogs, departmental Web sites, and online course syllabi. About one-third of the schools require econometrics of all students majoring in economics, about half require it of none, and a sixth require it of some, but not all, economics majors. Among universities with economics PhD programs and liberal arts colleges, almost all those ranked in the top 10 require it. Below the top 10, there is little correlation between ranking and econometrics requirements. Liberal arts econometrics classes are much more likely to require research projects than their counterparts in universities.

西部经济可持续发展的哲学思考

To realize the sustainable development of the economy of West China is not merely a great economic problem, but also a great national problem and political issue. The economic activity is a practical activity for the economic subject.

Only the behavior of the economic subject according with its demands could make the economy of west China have a sustainable development. Therefore, establishing the development view, the values and natural view of the economic subject for sustainable development becomes a realistic problem that is worth of thinking.
