Tax-benefit systems and differences in aggregate labour force participation: Comparative evidence from the Czech Republic and Hungary

This paper investigates the extent to which cross-country differences in aggregate participation rates can be explained by differences in tax-benefit systems. We take the example of two countries, the Czech Republic and Hungary, which – despite a lot of similarities – differ markedly in labour force participation rates. Using comparable individual-level labour supply estimates, we simulate how the aggregate participation rate would change in one country if the other country’s tax and social welfare system were adopted. The estimation results for the two countries are quite similar, suggesting that individual preferences are essentially identical in the two countries. The simulation results show that about one-third of the difference in the participation rates of the 15–74 year-old population and more than two-thirds of the participation of the prime-age population can be explained by differences in the tax-benefit systems.

Bridging the research-practice divide: Harnessing expertise collaboration in making a wider set of contributions

Understanding how we develop research contributions which go beyond conversations in the academic field is an enduring challenge. While much has been written on the importance of academic-practitioner relationships in the research process more is needed on conceptualizing how we develop a wider set of contributions. In this paper, we call for researchers to be reflective as to how different forms of expertise can be drawn on during collaborative relationships to bridge the research – practice divide. We develop a framework which combines different levels of expertise with varying forms of academic-practitioner collaboration to widen the impact of our research. Four strategies are proposed by which academics may leverage their expertise in collaborative relationships with practitioners to develop Research Impact and Contributions To Knowledge (RICK). These include: maintaining critical distance, promoting deeper engagement, developing prescience, and achieving hybrid practices. We discuss implementation approaches for each of these RICK strategies and suggest writing genres to help increase engagement by practitioners in research contributions.     

代笔的法律属性及其规制

"方韩之争"掀起了人们对代笔的讨论。大多数人认为,代笔尽管存在一些道德争议,但并不违法。事实上,代笔的性质不能一概而论,不同的代笔行为具有不同的法律属性。著作权法仅对报告、讲话、传记等作品代笔的合法性做了规定,从商标法、竞争法、劳动法等视角则可以深入认识其他形式的代笔。对代笔的法律规制不仅事关著作权法的修订,而且也是文化产业发展的基本要求。     

Pricing of a structured product on the SX5E when the uncertainty of returns is modeled as a log-stable process

This work presents the participation factor and the valuation of a first-generation structured product with European call options on the Eurostoxx, when the uncertainty of the yields is modeled through log-stable processes. The basic statistics of the index yields are also exposed, the α-stable parameters are estimated, and the valuation of the of the structured models is compared through the log-stable and log-Gaussian models using inputs from the bond markets; concluding that investors obtain higher yields than those of the bond market through both models, and that the differences of the yields depend on the participation factor and on the value of the index at the time of liquidation.     

美欧贸易壁垒调查立法及应对机制的制度分析

WTO争端解决机制与成员方通过国内立法建立的贸易壁垒调查制度共存的现状,影响着WTO规则改革的方向。美欧贸易壁垒调查应对机制在实践中具有不同战略构想,同时也存在相似的政策取向。它对于WTO其他成员国建设自身贸易预警机制具有重要借鉴价值,中国应研究美欧关于贸易壁垒调查立法的改革及调整,不断完善贸易壁垒调查制度,赋予国内企业提出贸易壁垒调查申请的充分权利。     

经济学视野中的学报运营

学报是具有较强正外部性的商品,但政府并没有对这种正外部性给予专项补偿,因此它的运作缺乏激励机制和约束机制.根据经济学中的"理性人"假设,对学报的出资方、编辑、读者、作者的行为进行分析,得出结论:该市场参与者各方从"理性人"角度,为了获取最大利益,进行了最有利于增加自己收益的行为选择.他们的行为选择最终导致学报运营效率低下,资源浪费现象严重,因此,学报运营机制的改变是提高学报社会效益的根本出路.     

《三国演义》成书过程以及作者和艺术表现手法研究

《三国演义》以蜀汉为正统,处处尊刘贬曹,尤其是明清时期流行的毛评本,进一步＂强调汉室皇朝正统＂为作品主题思想,具有极高的艺术创作价值。结构严谨,脉络分明,语言精练。虽然,它也存在一些瑕疵,但是其依然是一部瑕不掩瑜的流传千古特别是在明清时期广为流传的伟大古典文学巨著。
