Prospects for reform of the Common Agricultural Policy

Burgeoning stocks and increasing budgetary pressure are leading to mounting criticism of the CAP. Recent experience suggests that these internal pressures are unlikely to precipitate fundamental reform in the short to medium term because of the opportunity to defer expenditure and to transfer costs to the national governments. It is argued that rather than seeking a market-oriented solution, the Community appears set on continuing to make ad hoc policy adjustments aimed at minimizing expenditure and overcoming problems arising in particular sectors.     

The Global Child Labor Problem: What Do We Know and What Can We Do?

The problem of child labor has moved from a matter of regionaland national concern to one of international debate and possibleglobal persuasion and policy intervention. In crafting policyfor mitigating this enormous problem of our times, it is importantto start with a proper theoretical and empirical understandingof the phenomenon. What gives rise to child labor, and whatare its consequences? What interventions might end child laborwithout hurting children? A well-meaning but poorly designedpolicy can exacerbate the poverty in which these laboring childrenlive, even leading to starvation. The article surveys the largeand rapidly growing literature on this subject, focusing mainlyon the new literature based on modern economic theory and econometrics.It also looks at some of the broad policy implications of thesenew findings, with the objective of contributing to better informeddiscussion and policy design.

锁幅环路（MLL）及其应用

本文描述一个能使传递函数(TF)不管在任何输入频率时都能保持不变的新型控制环路——锁幅环路(MLL)。文中导出单一正弦信号时,输入频率与输出DC电压的线性关系,并讨论其可能应用。实验证明[1],MLL可执行锁相环路(PLL)的绝大部分功能。     

Why Does Government Preserve Lame Ducks?

The paradoxical behaviour of governments in preserving patently outmoded methods of production has previously been explained by the concentration of benefits from intervention compared with the diffusion of the costs, and by unwillingness to lose votes in marginal constituencies. Laurence Copeland, at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, suggests that the probable visibility of the 'finger on the button' is a more likely cause of the preservation of economic wildlife and calls for a policy of industrial disengagement by the Government to complement its financial strategy.
