Centralized Wage Bargaining and the “Celtic Tiger” Phenomenon

Drawing on a variety of sources and research methods, this article argues that centralized wage bargaining contributed to the “Celtic Tiger” phenomenon by linking wage increases in the dynamic multinational companies sector to wage and productivity increases in the much more sluggish domestic sector of the economy and, in so doing, considerably increased the competitiveness of foreign multinational companies—a key driver of Irish growth. The article also argues that much‐received wisdom about the institutional and organizational preconditions for centralized wage regulation needs to be reconsidered in light of the Irish case. Public sector unions played a pivotal role in initiating and sustaining wage centralization, yet their leadership role did not undermine its effectiveness. Likewise, internal democratic procedures and the absence of wage compression policies, rather than centralized organizational structures, facilitated compliance with centralized wage policies.

大学英语分层次个性化教学模式探索

21世纪初教育部正式启动大学英语教学改革,学者和教师针对课程设置展开了积极的探索和讨论。高校应该充分考虑学生的差异,对学生进行不同层次教学,进行个性化培养。要保证学生在大学英语学习中具有选择权和主动权。EGP、ESP和EGE的教学并不矛盾,可以融为一体创建大学英语分层次个性化教学模式,满足学生和社会对于各种人才的多样化要求。     

Companies' insolvency and ‘the nature of the firm’ in Italy, 1920s–70s1

This article analyses the functioning of Italian insolvency laws and practices, in particular their role in the selection and relaunch of viable firms. The article investigates the period between the 1920s and the 1970s, and focuses on joint‐stock companies. Using comparative data on the number of cases, we show that in Italy firms mainly used the procedure called fallimento (bankruptcy), consisting of the collection and subsequent liquidation of assets. Other procedures, such as deals with creditors or forms of receivership, able to give companies a further chance, were rarely used. On the basis of archival documents we maintain that this result was due to the strictness and complication of Italian procedures, as well as to their inability to select viable companies. The article also investigates the relation between the features of insolvency law and the nature of the Italian industrial system, specifically the peculiar small size and rapid turnover of joint‐stock companies. We suggest that the pro‐liquidation character of the insolvency law might have been one of the causes of the peculiarity of Italian industrial capitalism, even if the opposite direction of causality cannot be excluded.

对我国MBO实施过程中的若干争议和指责的思考

在国有企业进行战略性调整和产权改革进入攻坚阶段的大背景下,MBO在我国从一个新生事物很快变成企业产权改革、激励机制创新的主要角色。在其发展过程中受到了来自多方面的争议和指责,这些争议和指责反映出我国现阶段还不具备MBO优势得以发挥的外部条件。加快相关法律法规的建设、培育多层次的金融市场、建立完善的法人治理结构等对MBO在我国发挥其特有的优势具有特别重要的作用。     

状态方程计算高分子共混物的比体积

基于一个简单的非均核链流体分子热力学模型,采用不同形式的微扰项,可构筑不同形式的高分子共混物系统的状态方程。方程已被应用于关联聚苯乙烯/聚2,6-二甲基苯醚(PS/PPO)、聚苯乙烯/聚乙烯甲醚(PS/PVME)、聚苯乙烯/聚丁二烯(PS/PBD)、聚醚砜/聚氧乙烯(PESP/PEO)等高分子共混物的比体积。结果显示,用一个与温度无关的二元相互作用可调参数可满意关联所选体系的比体积,并可预测所选体系的比体积。     

我国海洋资源开发综合效益的评价探讨

从海洋资源开发形成的产业产值效益角度,选取海米岸线产值、人均产值、占GDP比重等3个相对指标,采用均方差权重法对我国沿海备省、市区海洋资源开发的综合效益做出评价;依据沿海各省、市区海洋资源开发的综合效益评价值及排序结果,把该区划分为3种类型：。低等综合效益开发区,中等综合效益开发区,高等综合效益开发区;得出海洋资源开发的综合效益不仅与资源条件有关,还与各地的经济发展水平、人口数量及其协调程度有关等结论。
