环境污染与环境冲突——基于省际空间面板数据的研究

环境问题具有很强的空间相关性,任何忽视这种空间相关性的研究都会导致估计结果产生偏差。本文使用2003-2011年省际面板数据,运用空间计量分析方法,分析了环境污染与环境冲突的关系以及当前环境治理的社会效果。研究结果表明:环境冲突具有显著的空间相关性;水污染是引发环境冲突的主要原因,并且具有显著的空间外溢性;当前的环境治理并没有减少环境冲突的产生,其社会效益不明显;环境治理需从环境和社会两个方面着手,调节各冲突主体的利益诉求;由于环境污染具有较强的外溢性,需实行跨域治理。     

Reproducing Difference? Schooling,Jobs, and Empowerment in Uttar Pradesh,India

This article examines the role of school education in reproducing caste and class inequalities in rural Bijnor district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Drawing on Bourdieu’s work, the article shows that a rural elite has used its superior wealth, connections, and social status to ensure that their sons receive privileged access to schooling credentials and government employment. The greater availability of formal educational opportunities allied to the political rise of lower castes has allowed a small group of Dalits to raise their social standing, but has failed to alter historical relationships of dependence and exploitation.

Perspectives on the Sources of Heterogeneity in Indian Industry

This paper examines technical efficiency variation across four industrial sectors in India using a stochastic production frontier technique. The results obtained are comparable to technical efficiency distribution patterns obtained in other countries. Heterogeneity in firm-level efficiency is examined against internal, firm-level and external, industry and location characteristics. The results suggest that managerial effectiveness significantly influences efficiency and that there are considerable benefits deriving from location within established industrial clusters for particular industries. The methodology and findings indicate that the study of industry-specific technical efficiency patterns is a useful analytic tool for tracking firm response to ongoing liberalization.
