区域污染与区域经济增长——中国1998～2007年面板数据分析

本文选用中国1998～2007年期间六类区域污染指标,利用面板数据模型分析我国区域污染与区域经济增长的关系.研究结果表明:区域污染与区域经济增长之间的关系具有不确定性;工业废水、工业固体废弃物与人均GDP之闻存在正相关关系;工业废水中污染物化学需氧量与人均GDP之间存在环境库兹涅茨倒U型曲线关系;工业烟尘、工业粉尘、二氧化硫与人均GDP之间存在N型曲线关系.     

The Economics of Henry George: A Review Essay

This is a welcome addition to the literature on Henry George. Bryson seeks to “rehabilitate” George—by highlighting his major achievements, by explaining why academic economists have rejected or neglected him, and by showing how nonetheless George has had a major but little‐acknowledged impact on economic thought.     

Francisco Pereira de Moura, (1925–1998)

A bstract . The Portuguese economist Francisco Pereira de Moura passed away on April 4, 199B. During the late 1960s and well on into the 1970s, Moura gained international fame when he stood with the students against the repressive fascist regime in Portugal. After the fall of the dictatorship on April 25, 1974, he returned to Portugal's celebrated Superior Institute of Economic and Financial Sciences (ISEG) to carry on the work of curriculum reform. In the essay that follows he is remembered by one of his most distinguished students who now serves as a Professor of Economics at the ISEG.     

Henry George on Land Ownership: A Comment on Pullen

Did George alienate many by presenting his reform program as the institution of a new form of restricted land possession rather than as the retention of traditional ownership with a substantial land tax imposed? It seems doubtful, yet the distinction merits further exploration and the peculiar and hard‐to‐implement nature of the tax and the difficulty of reconciling it with George's distrust of government needs to be stressed. Ideally, George might have preferred complete government ownership of land but his policy proposals were pragmatically adapted to the realities of his own society. The extent of the egalitarianism and aid to the landless implied in his program is questioned.     

After, before and during: returns to education in Hungary (1986–1998)

How valuable are the skills acquired under socialism in a market economy? This paper throws light on this question using unique data covering the years before and during transition (1986–1998) for about 3 million Hungarian wage earners. We find that returns to a year of schooling increased by 75% from 6.4% in 1986 to 11.2% in 1998. We also find that the private sector rewards formal education more than the public and, in terms of gender, although in 1986 women had greater returns to schooling than men, by 1998 this difference had been eliminated.     

岩溶补给型富水块段地下水污染风险分析——以云南建水县城富水块段为例

在我国西南基岩山区存在许多岩溶含水层侧向补给型富水块段,这些富水块段地下水往往是当地村民的饮用水源,富水块段的地下水主要接受来自盆地周边岩溶含水层地下水的侧向补给,因此,开展这类富水块段地下水污染风险分析对当地居民饮用水源保护及项目选址具有重要指导意义。本文以云南建水县富水块段为例,通过污染项目对富水块段的影响进行预测分析,结果表明富水块段周边项目选址应尽量避开富水块段自流区范围及周边包气带厚度很薄的区域。     

Henry George and Classical Growth Theory: A Significant Contribution to Modeling Scale Economies

It is widely recognized that the analysis of economic growth in Henry George's Progress and Poverty was considerably influenced by the British classical tradition, especially the writings of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. What has been less clearly perceived is that George made significant extensions to the classical theory. This paper's aim is to provide an interpretation, and to some extent a rational reconstruction, of George's positive analysis, largely leaving aside the striking normative lessons he drew from it. George's unsatisfactory treatment of capital is disposed of in Section I, while Section II—the core of the paper—follows George's lead in aggregating capital and labor into a single productive factor which is employed in a given natural environment. Section III adds the complication of improvement in the arts of production, and Section IV deals briefly with George's views on land speculation. Section V assesses, comparing George with his contemporary Alfred Marshall.     

A Property Rights Paradox: George and Rothbard on the Conservation of Environmental Resources

A bstract . Murray N. Rothbard is recognized as one of the most articulate modern critics of Henry George's land value tax. A leading libertarian thinker, Rothbard condemns George's recommendation that government act to affect private transactions in land, arguing that such interventions infringe on previously defined private property rights. However, Rothbard's social system has no explicit mechanism for accommodating the emergence of tradeable property rights to newly recognized environmental resources. In effect, Rothbard calls for controls on such resources—no trading. Henry George, on the other hand, provides for the evolution of new property rights and their emergence into private markets. The paradox here is that George's solution to the property rights question might accommodate the social yearnings of one of his most severe critics, Murray N. Rothbard.     

新世纪呼唤生活标准化(4)健康生活标准化

物质生活虽然重要，可是仅有物质生活是不够的，还应当有健康生活。离开健康生活，就是再好的物质生活也难以感觉幸福美满。要提高健康生活质量就要积极开展健康生活标准化，健康生活标准化主要包括三方面的内容。     

新世纪呼唤生活标准化(3)物质生活标准化

物质生活是人类为了维持生命过程和满足某些欲望而进行的消耗各种生活资料的活动。为不断提高物质生活的质量，就必须积极开展物质生活的标准化。     

新世纪呼唤生活标准化(1)21世纪是生活标准化蓬勃发展的世纪

标准化是人类活动的纪律约束，标准化可以提高人类活动的有效性，促进社会发展和人类进步。标准化不仅适用于生产技术领域，同时也适用于日常生活领域。如果说传统标准化已为发展工业生产做出了重大贡献的话，那么在新世纪生活标准化将为全面提高人类的生活质量做出更大的贡献。生活标准化是21世纪最具发展活力的标准化领域。那么，到底什么是生活标准和生活标准化呢?
