构建台州低碳银行新格局

<正>作为金融主流行业——银行业,低碳银行撬动低碳经济的杠杆,绿色信贷"贷"动经济转型,中长期融资助力低碳业务,绿色银行筑建绿色和谐。因此,要紧抓机遇,顺势而行,构建浙江省台州低碳银行新格局,助推台州低碳经济的快速、健康、可持续发展。一、台州高能耗比较严重,由高碳经济到低碳经济任重而道远今年以来,GDP电耗大幅上升成为台州市当前最突出的矛盾,为此,台州各级政府采取了对高能耗停、限电措施。但是严厉的"限电令"措施,只能是治标却没有治本。台州是中国民营经济最早发祥地,占台州经济总量的90%以上的民营企业,绝大多数是劳动资     

Does housework lower wages? Evidence for Britain

This paper uses the British Household Panel Survey to present the first estimates of the housework-wage relationship in Britain. Controlling for permanent unobserved heterogeneity, we find that housework has a negative impact on the wages of men and women, both married and single, who work full-time. Among women working part-time, only single women suffer a housework penalty. The housework penalty is uniform across occupations within full-time jobs but some part-time jobs appear to be more compatible with housework than others. We find tentative evidence that the housework penalty is larger when there are children present.     

来自伦敦的启发

今天早上我读了一条最令人惊奇的新闻,说的是在英国,每天早上交通高峰期间,伦敦是拥有最低人均碳排放的城市。这就是我们从书本上了解到的世界上受雾的影响最严重的城市之一,也就是《雾都孤儿》里的那个伦敦。那么,新闻中所说的现象是怎么形成的呢？     

The veterinary medicine industry in Britain in the twentieth century

Economic historians have focused research effort on accounting for the growth and significance of Britain's pharmaceutical industry, but little effort has so far been directed at the veterinary medicine industry, which formed an important part of the wider sector. This article addresses that gap. Factors responsible for that sector's relative insignificance until the 1950s included a general tendency to slaughter rather than to treat sick animals, the absence of advanced medicines until the innovation of sulpha drugs and antibiotics, and difficult relations with the wider pharmaceutical industry. Thereafter output of veterinary medicines increased dramatically, arising from an exponential growth in the demand for intensively farmed poultry meat. Since the 1980s a decline in the use of drugs in agriculture has caused the industry to concentrate on the health needs of domestic animals rather than those of livestock.     

Poverty in Edwardian Britain

This article introduces a newly discovered household budget data set for 1904. We use these data to estimate urban poverty among working families in the British Isles. Applying Bowley's poverty line, we estimate that at least 23 per cent of people in urban working households and 18 per cent of working households had income insufficient to meet minimum needs. This is well above Rowntree's estimate of primary poverty for York in 1899 and high in the range that Bowley found in northern towns in 1912–13. The skill gradient of poverty is steep; for instance, among labourers' households, the poverty rates are close to 50 per cent. Measures of the depth of poverty are relatively low in the data, suggesting that most poor male-headed working households were close to meeting Bowley's new standard.     

农民合作行为变化与社会变迁的微观机制——以华北平原S村为例

帮工和雇工都是农村普遍存在的微观互助行为,前者以人情为联结纽带,后者以货币为交换媒介。本文通过分析华北平原S村30年来合作方式由帮工到雇工的转变过程发现,农民合作行为的变化经由个体动力场的作用机制得以实现,并且这种变化既受社会变迁的制约,也是社会变迁的一个部分。虽然对于社会变迁的解释一直有着宏观和微观两种视角的争论,但是,本文的研究表明,社会变迁必须以一系列的个体行动来达成,而后者又受到一系列心理机制的影响。对于社会变迁来说,微观视角仍具解释力,并且不可或缺。     

Epidemiological patterns of suicide terrorism in the civilian Pakistani population

In this study, we assessed the epidemiological patterns of suicide terrorism in the civilian population of Pakistan. Information about suicide terrorism-related events, deaths and injuries was extracted from the South-Asian Terrorism Portal (SATP) for the period from 2002 to October 2009. Of 198 events, civilians were involved in 194 events. Civilians accounted for 74.1% (N?=?2017) of those who died and 93.8% (N?=?6129) of those who were injured. In nine districts, mortality rates were more than one death per 100,000 inhabitants per year. The yearly trend showed a shift of attack targets from foreigners and sectarian targets in 2002-2005 to security forces or general public in 2006-2009. Attacks on public installations (mosques) or political gatherings resulted in a significantly greater (P?≤?0.02) number of deaths (22 vs. 8) and injuries (59 vs. 24) per event compared with security installations. These results show that prevention might focus on political negotiation with armed groups and that appropriate measures should be taken to protect mosques and political gatherings.
