Local Officials＇ Incentives and China＇s Economic Growth： Tournament Thesis Reexamined and Alternative Explanatory Framework

To explain China's dramatic economic growth, researchers have proposed a “tournament thesis.” According to this thesis, the central government's ability to set growth targets has played a crucial role in growth since political promotion is largely based on local economic growth. We use provincial officials' career mobility data to test this thesis. For both time periods (1979–1995 and 1979–2002), economic performance, measured in annual, average and relative terms, did not affect these officials' career advancement. We then sketch an alternative analytical framework to explain Chinese local officials' strong urge for developmentalism and, finally, draw policy implications from this explanatory framework.

中国天然气汽车前景广阔 发展仍需政策指引——“2012天然气汽车论坛”观点采撷

在"低碳经济"和"节能减排"的时代背景下,天然气以其环保和成本等优势,正在成为汽车最理想、最现实的清洁替代能源。进入本世纪以来,我国天然气汽车(NGV)进入快速发展阶段,LNG客车、重卡正成为未来我国天然气汽车发展的重点领域。目前,我国天然气汽车产业发展缺少国家层面的总体规划和扶持政策,配套基础设施建设落后,而且天然气汽车技术水平有待提升,行业标准规范体系尚不完善,这些因素制约了我国天然气汽车的健康、快速发展。为此,建议政府尽快出台鼓励天然气汽车发展的具体政策,为天然气汽车的发展提供指引;加快天然气加气网络建设,并继续维持天然气价格优势;同时,加快提升天然气汽车技术水平,逐步完善相关标准和规范体系。     

全球钟表业发展现状——德国

现今我们所熟知的大部分腕表品牌都来自于瑞士。但细研究一下钟表业的历史，我们会发现，其实英国与法国也在腕表界占有举足轻重的地位，最广为人知的品牌当然是卡地亚。而除了英国和法国，来自德国的腕表，同样在工艺精湛的腕表界占有重要一席，这一点似乎许多人并不知晓。奔驰、宝马可能才更能代表他们心目中的德国工艺，腕表被大家忽略了。

姥姥的西瓜酱

孔子说"食不厌精",还说"不得其酱不食",看来圣人的嘴头也够挑,不同的食物要搭配不同的酱才下箸。其实在古代酱与菜肴的结伴出席是"周礼"的一部分,规矩极多,官宴或祭祀的场合都是先上酱,继而搭配进食的菜肴,如此一道一道间杂呈上,赴宴的贵族通过看酱预知下道菜的名目,方使得不会失"礼"。到后来以至今日,礼崩乐坏的年代,自然是不讲究这些了,不过各乡制酱的风俗却源远流长下来。东北大酱,老北京甜面酱,郫县豆瓣酱,福建沙茶酱,苏州虾子酱,广东梅子酱,菌菇酱,牛肉酱,豉酱,阿香婆辣酱,西洋番茄酱......数起来恐怕是很难一气讲完的,我乡有一种西瓜酱,不知是否独美,至少我不曾在别处见过。
