北京郊区化进程中人口分布与大中型商场布局的互动

北京市目前正处于城市郊区化的初期,文章借助沃尔克人口重心和洛伦兹曲线,刻画出1991—2000年北京市城区人口分布的变化,并通过人口重心公式的转化使用,计算了同期城区大中型商场分布的变化。研究发现,在北京市由向心集聚型向离心分散型过渡的阶段,城区大中型商场的重心移动与人口重心移动方向基本一致,但是时间上存在大约2年的滞后。这说明人口郊区化对大中型商场分布郊区化有一个正向带动。同时大中型商场重心的偏移对人口的分布也有较大影响。     

EARNINGS INEQUALITY IN GREAT BRITAIN 1975–90: THE ROLE OF AGE

This paper is concerned with the growing earnings dispersion among British men. The study is based on unit record data drawn from the New Earnings Survey. It is found that increases in inequality within age groups account for most of the rise in earnings inequality overall. Occupation too is a significant explanation of growing inequality among workers, but the major part of increased inequality within age groups remains unexplained.     

THE INCOME DISTRIBUTION EFFECTS OF A NATURAL GAS PRICE INCREASE

Deregulation of wellhead natural gas prices will affect individuals as consumers and resource owners. It is shown that higher natural gas prices will be roughly progressive with respect to household and general consumers. The effects on the distribution of resource earnings will be ambiguous because although the oil and gas industry is highly capital intensive, natural gas price deregulation will likely cause reduced spending on other capital-intensive activities, including deep drilling for high cost gas, gas utility distribution, and exports. Overall, no clear case can be made that gas wellhead price deregulation will be regressive     

山西省人口分布与区域经济协调发展研究

不均衡性是人口与经济分布的最基本属性，人口与经济的空间集中化是区域发展的内在规律。通过对山西省人口与经济分布在中、东、西三大地带及分市县层次上的相关关系及动态演进的多侧面分析，表明：山西省人口与经济分布不均衡性明显，人口经济活力中部强，而东西部山区弱；动态演化总体上具有向中部地带集聚的趋势，符合区域发展的基本规律。但是，1990年以来又有分散化发展的趋势，特别是西部丘陵山区人口与经济动态呈逆向演化态势，是人口与经济协调发展问题最为突出的地区。21世纪初，应进一步实施人口与经济空间集中化战略，建立起人口、经济与生态环境协调发展的区域格局。     

THE DUTCH ECONOMY 1921–39: REVISED MACROECONOMIC DATA FOR THE INTERWAR PERIOD

A set of revised macroeconomic time series for the Netherlands 1921–39 is presented. The series cover the "Consolidated Accounts for the Nation" of the SNA in current prices as well as the national product account and some additional series in prices for the previous year. The new interwar series differ considerably from the data that has been published before. They are also more comprehensive, more detailed, and conceptually consistent with the modern national accounts.     

中国在业人口非均衡分布及合理性评价

2005年中国在业人口总体、第一、三产业人口分布相对不均衡,第二产业人口分布较不均衡。1982—2005年集中指数变动表明,在业人口总体和第一、三产业人口保持相对不均衡的分布格局,第二产业人口分布由相对不均衡跃升为较不均衡。相对于1982年,在业人口总体和第一产业人口分布的非均衡性下降,第二、三产业人口分布的非均衡性提升。2000年资源因素、经济因素和综合因素的在业人口分布的相对偏差度在1%以下,东、中、西部各种因素的偏差系数在9%以下,南、北方各种因素的偏差系数在4%以下,表明中国在业人口非均衡分布具有内在合理性;资源因素和经济因素对中国在业人口非均衡分布影响的贡献度为65对35。     

EFFECTS OF IMMIGRANTS ON THE 1980–1990 U.S. WAGE EXPERIENCE

This paper questions the claim that U.S. immigration should be reduced because the economy can no longer absorb immigrants as it has in the past. Analysis of male hourly wages shows that the effect of immigration on wages did not change between 1980 and 1990. Further, immigration had no negative effects on wages in 1980 or 1990. These results suggest that the capacity of the labor market to absorb immigrants has not been reduced. Additional analysis shows that, controlling for personal characteristics, the hourly wages of the average native and immigrant worker in areas of high and medium immigration relative to areas of low immigration increased between 1980 and 1990. However, Latino immigrants are affected negatively by immigration.     

AN ANNUAL CHAIN INDEX OF ITALY'S "REAL" PRODUCT, 1861–1989

The construction and application of a Paasche annual chain index to the Italian GDP figures between 1861 and 1989 is the subject of this article. Comparison with product at constant prices shows, except for war periods, a revaluation of GDP in favour of the annual chain index of around 0.10 percent. The most striking differences are concentrated into periods of marked changes in relative prices, and the new index modifies the temporal pattern of the growth trend by accentuating, without altering the periodization, cyclical fluctuations.
