Macro frictions and theoretical identification of the New Keynesian Phillips curve

I discuss theoretical identification of the New Keynesian Phillips curve, and show that it can be identified with limited information techniques when the data generating process is a New Keynesian model with enough macro frictions or persistent shocks. Monte Carlo experiments illustrate the quantitative relevance of the results.     

金融业反洗钱客户身份识别制度的主要原则与关键环节

客户身份识别是反洗钱的一项核心工作。金融业反洗钱客户身份识别制度的主要原则:一是确认、验证客户及其受益人,了解客户交易的目的和性质原则;二是风险为本原则;三是报告可疑交易原则。在执行反洗钱客户身份识别制度的过程中,金融机构要落实好上述主要原则,就必须高度重视接受客户、持续识别客户和重点审查高风险客户三个关键环节。     

Economic cost of deforestation in semi-deciduous forests — A case of two forest districts in Ghana

The ecological, economic and socio-cultural roles of forests are under threat in Ghana due to the high rate of deforestation. Efforts are being made to combat this problem through rehabilitation measures. However, the costs of deforestation and restoration benefits are not adequately estimated. This paper fills in the gap in knowledge by providing an empirical estimation of the cost of deforestation in monetary terms. Primary data collected regarding timber, non-timber forest products and soils in semi-deciduous forests were analyzed using opportunity cost and replacement cost techniques. The results emphasize differences in the value of these forest goods and services lost annually. The largest losses were in stumpage fees, edible fruits, and avoided carbon emissions values. The results show that US$133,650,000 gross revenue, equivalent to 2.6% of the 2008 agricultural sector Gross Domestic Product, is lost annually. It can be concluded that restoring the degraded forest lands would bring benefits particularly to the local communities through increased stumpage revenues and harvest of non-timber forest products, as well as additional funds from carbon credits. It is recommended that stakeholders of forest resources are made aware of these costs in order to raise awareness of what they are losing through deforestation.     

农业现代化的本质要求:农民从身份到职业的转换

农民身份化和职业化有着本质的差别。中国农民至今所代表的还是一种身份,由此阻碍了农业现代化的进程。中国自改革开放以来,经济社会结构的变迁事实上开始推动着农民从身份化到职业化的转换。正确地认识这一趋势并自觉地促进其转换,对于加速中国农业现代化具有重大意义。中国农民从身份化到职业化转换表现为多向裂变。

游憩机会谱(ROS)理论的产生及其应用

游憩机会谱（ROS）理论是从影响游客体验的角度将游憩地的自然、社会和管理要素相结合，来提供一系列的游憩机会，以确保游客能够得到满意的游憩体验。游憩机会谱理论形成于20世纪60年代，目前已广泛用于国外公共游憩土地的规划与管理。介绍了其产生的历史背景和发展历程，主要内涵及其运用范围，旨在能对中国公共游憩地的使用、管理和旅游业的发展有所借鉴。

Digital identity: How users value the attributes of online identifiers

This paper examines online identifiers from an economic perspective. It uses conjoint analysis survey techniques to develop empirical data on how users value the attributes of online identifiers. It is concerned in particular with three issues: (1) the degree to which identified subjects value increasing the scope of an identifier, i.e., the ability to use a single identifier to access services offered by several organizations; (2) the degree to which users’ choice may be constrained by switching costs; and (3) the value individuals place on privacy and data security relative to other attributes such as cost or scope. The survey population was located in South Korea. The results indicate that e-mail addresses dominate the world of online identifiers for ordinary consumers; that consumers highly value increased scope (e.g., single sign-on capabilities) and the security of their private data; and that switching costs are high.
