WHY FREE MARKETS SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR THE CURRENT RECESSION

Interventionist thinkers are now claiming intellectual victory, blaming the free‐market system and its ideology for the current economic collapse. We find this thesis untenable, drawing on the Austrian Business Cycle Theory. Instead, we argue that the roots of our present downturn lie in the monetary system, whose institutional structure is far from any free‐market ideal. Moreover, several government policies have contributed to the problems.     

Regret in auctions: theory and evidence

The sealed-bid first-price auction of a single object in the case of independent privately-known values is the simplest auction setting and understanding it is important for understanding more complex mechanisms. But bidders bid above the risk-neutral Nash equilibrium theory prediction. The reasons for this “over bidding” remain an unsolved puzzle. Several explanations have been offered, including risk aversion, social comparisons, and learning. We present a new explanation based on regret and a model that explains not only the observed over bidding in sealed-bid first-price auctions, but also behavior in several other settings that is inconsistent with risk aversion.

人口规模、经济增长与碳排放:经验证据及国际比较

根据国际能源署（IEA）公布的1971—2008年碳排放数据,探讨中国与典型发达国家、发展中国家（G8＋5）人口规模、经济增长与碳排放变化的差异性。结果表明：随着GDP增长,中国碳排放快速增长,人均碳排放已超过世界平均水平;单位GDP碳排放持续降低,但依然高于世界平均水平。利用秩相关系数检验人均GDP与单位GDP碳排放,发现7个发达国家均呈显著下降趋势,发展中国家南非、中国呈显著下降趋势,巴西、印度、墨西哥呈上升趋势但并不显著;人均GDP与人均碳排放秩相关系数表明,7个发达国家中,美国、法国、德国、英国呈显著下降趋势,加拿大呈不显著上升趋势,日本、意大利呈显著上升趋势;5个发展中国家处于工业化快速发展阶段,能源消费急剧增加,随着人均GDP增长,人均碳排放均呈显著上升趋势。基于此,归纳出世界主要发达国家和发展中国家人口增长、经济增长与碳排放变动的三种模式。     

Analysis of China＇ s Marine Economic Regional Characteristics and Development Countermeasures for these Regions

我国沿海地区海洋经济发展存在着明显的区域差异,研究不同区域海洋经济发展的特征能够提出有针对性的对策建议,对制定海洋经济发展政策具有一定的指导意义。选择了资源禀赋、经济规模、产业结构、就业状况、基础设施建设以及科技水平等衡量海洋经济发展的重要指标,通过指标分析对我国沿海地区海洋经济发展较好的地区进行区域分类,并归纳了不同类型区域的某些共同特征,最后依据分析结果提出了具体的发展对策。

区域物流需求指标体系初探

区域物流需求的分析是区域物流规划制定的决定性影响因素,由于当前的理论和实践多偏重于具体预测方法的研究与应用．而对于需求指标体系的建立尚无系统描述为保证需求指标的科学性和完整性,应从规模指标、速度指标、弹性指标、强度指标、能力指标采其同表征物流需求;为了保证需求指标的可操作性和易操作性,选取物流设施用地规模及物流设施投资额作为与需求指标相对应的物流要素供给控制指标。     

THEORY AND EVIDENCE IN PSYCHOLOGY AND ECONOMICS ABOUT MOTIVATION CROWDING OUT: A POSSIBLE CONVERGENCE?

The empirical relevance of motivation crowding out is a controversial issue in economics and psychology. As already pointed out by Frey and Jegen ( 2001 ), this is partly due to the historical development of two distinct and parallel strands of literature that stem from different theoretical traditions, have radically different tenets and therefore, are difficult to reconcile. In this survey, we go back to the details of the debates that took place independently among psychologists and economists, and sketch an integrative interdisciplinary approach likely to favor a more fruitful collaboration between economics and psychology. From this perspective, experimental economics (both field and laboratory) is viewed as a major research field shedding new light on the conditions of relevance of motivation crowding out.     

城市区域交通状态判别方法研究

随着新一代智能化交通控制系统的出现,城市区域交通状态判别方法的研究显得尤为重要。本文在已知各个子区交通状态的基础上,用层次分析法确定出各个子区在区域中所占的权重,然后用加权平均法得出区域的交通状态。最后利用VISSIM软件模拟验证了本文算法的合理性。
