从"鸟巢"暂停探索价值工程

论文以价值工程基本要义为切入点,分析了北京奥运场馆建设中存在的主要问题,结合国外办奥运的成功经验．说明崇洋奢华,求大求新,严重背离价值工程基本要义,不符合我国国情,强调价值工程不仅是产品设计,项目建设的现代技法．也应是城市建设、国家发展的重要指导思想。     

"交保证金"的报酬政策在中国存在的原因解析--一种扩展的夏皮罗-斯蒂格利茨模型

本文通过建立一种扩展的夏皮罗—斯蒂格利茨模型,解释了“交保证金”的报酬政策在中国存在的原因。当劳动力处于买方市场时,工人在失业和就业两者之间严格偏好于就业,厂商有可能采取“交保证金”的报酬政策,那么,厂商就可以支付较低的实际工资,获得较好的监督效果,使工人努力工作。厂商以较低的工资雇佣工人,可以使劳动力市场的就业人数有所增加,但由于并不是所有工人都能够通过“交保证金”而实现就业,故这一报酬政策不能使市场出清。     

Labour Supply,Life Satisfaction,and the (Dis)Utility of Work*

In economic theory, it is typically assumed that there is a “disutility of labour”. However, empirical research on subjective well‐being has consistently shown that unemployed people are less happy than employed people, even after taking income differences into account. In this paper, we attempt to reconcile both findings. We show that happiness and work hours exhibit an inverse U‐shaped relation – working longer raises the level of happiness, as long as the total working time is not too long. Hence, working can be beneficial for happiness and, at the same time, it can exert a disutility at the margin.     

基于行业视角的中国对外反倾销影响因素研究

本文利用1999年-2009年中国对外反倾销申诉数据,运用logit模型和经典线性模型测量了行业企业单位数、全部从业人员年平均数、总资产贡献率、资本密集度、工业成本费用利润率、竞争力指数、进口渗透率对中国对外反倾销行为在发起阶段的影响程度。结果表明行业企业单位数、总资产密集度和进口渗透率是发起反倾销申诉的重要影响因素,进口渗透率和全部从业人员年平均是影响申诉频率的主要因素。本文结论对中国反倾销理论分析和实践有参考价值。     

WHAT DO CITIZENS THINK ABOUT PUBLIC ENTERPRISES? SUBJECTIVE SURVEY DATA ON THE LEGITIMACY OF THE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF THE GERMAN PUBLIC SECTOR

We analyse the legitimacy of public enterprises that perform economic activities by focusing on the citizens’ subjective preferences, i.e. determining their political legitimacy. Using data from a representative survey conducted among 318 citizens of the German state of Rhineland‐Palatine, we explore determinants for the support of either privatisation efforts or the instrumental thesis, a widespread principle in German‐speaking countries, which considers public enterprises solely as instruments to fulfil economic policy objectives. Our results indicate that the respondents’ perception of the efficiency of public enterprises as well as their personal economic situation are important factors for the support of privatisation. The influential factors for the use of public enterprises as policy instruments are political ideology, the perception of a higher security of supplying goods and services as well as opinions regarding corporate social responsibility. The subjective preferences of a (democratic) country's citizens are thus an important reason why the public sector should or should not play an active part in providing goods and services. This can play an important role when decision makers from the public sector are keen to take into account the citizens’ approval or disapproval of privatisation measures.     

Neighbors' Income,Public Goods,and Well‐Being

How does neighbors' income affect individual well‐being? Our analysis is based on rich U.S. local data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which contains information on where respondents live and their self‐reported well‐being. We find that the effect of neighbors' income on individuals' self‐reported well‐being varies with the size of the neighborhood included. In smaller areas such as ZIP codes, we find a positive relationship between median income and individuals' life satisfaction, whereas it is the opposite at the county, MSA, and state levels. We provide evidence that local public goods and local area characteristics such as unemployment, criminality, and poverty rates drive the association between satisfaction and neighbors' income at the ZIP code level. The neighbors' income effects are mainly concentrated among poorer individuals and are as large as one quarter of the effect of own income on self‐reported well‐being.     

Well‐Being,Deprivation, and the Great Recession in the U.S.: A Study in A Multidimensional Framework

We study changes in social well‐being and deprivation in the U.S. during the Great Recession and the subsequent recovery. We outline an analytical framework for measuring well‐being and deprivation in a multidimensional fashion when data on achievement in each dimension is assumed to be ordinal and binary in nature. We use data from the American Community Survey between 2008 and 2015 and find that there was a decline in social well‐being and a rise in social deprivation in the U.S. during the recession followed by a reversal of trends during the recovery. Despite low deprivation levels among the White population, this population experienced the largest increase in deprivation during the recession and the least decline in deprivation in the recovery period. These results underscore the fact that the impact of recession and the subsequent recovery varied significantly across population groups.     

汇率波动率与中国对主要贸易伙伴的出口

本文研究汇率波动率对中国向三个主要贸易伙伴美国、欧盟和日本出口的影响。通过协整检验,误差修正模型和Granger非因果检验等方法估计变量间长短期的关系。研究表明,中国向美国和欧盟的实际出口与实际汇率波动率存在长期显著的负相关关系,而中国向日本的出口与汇率波动率无关。短期内汇率波动率只影响中国向美国的出口,对向欧盟和日本的出口没有影响。
