COMMENT ON NAVIGATING REFORMS: LESSONS FROM INDIA, THE 2008 WINCOTT LECTURE, GIVEN BY ARUN SHOURIE

Economic growth in India has been impressive in recent years. However, development has largely by-passed agriculture and labour-intensive industry, the sectors with the most potential to drive up living standards in the long term. Despite welcome recent efforts at reform, large parts of the Indian economy continue to be hindered by poor governance and over-regulation.     

会计规范研究方法的剖析与回归

会计规范研究源于经济学划分为实证经济学和规范经济学.一般认为会计规范研究方法是以一定的价值判断作为出发点和基础,提出会计目标和假设,以演绎法为主,强调"应该是什么"的会计研究方法.但目前学术界对会计规范研究方法在认识上还存在一些误区.正本清源,会计规范研究方法应回归为会计一般研究方法,并可过渡为会计系统研究方法.     

Lies,damned lies and statistics: the accuracy of survey responses

That survey research is error prone is not a new idea and different varieties of non-sampling error have been investigated in the literature as well as consideration being given in many statistics textbooks to the issue of sampling error. The paper here considers research upon corporate environmental reporting. It compares information provided by corporate environmental reports with information that survey respondents claim their organization’s environmental report contains. This enables the accuracy of the claims to be assessed. Consideration is given to two different industries the Water industry and the Energy industry. Errors due to inaccurate reporting by survey respondents are shown to be relatively infrequent and respondents appear just about as likely to claim they report information that they do not, in fact, report as to fail to indicate that they report information that is, in fact, actually reported.     

兰州市公用机械式立体停车库规划研究

随着经济的快速发展。停车难成为城市发展中一个亟待解决的问题,机械式立体停车库是城市停车场的一种形式,具有占地面积小、空间利用率高等优势,在当前城市用地资源日趋紧张的情况下,从城市交通总体角度规划一定数量的公共类机械式立体停车库,缓解城市交通压力。文章以兰州市重点区域为例,分析了城市机械式立体停车库应用规划研究,并对兰州市重点区域进行了具体规划,以推动停车科技产业发展。可有效缓解兰州市停车难现状。     

中国自然保护地规划的回顾与对比研究

中国自然保护地历经60余年的发展,形成了多部门主导、保护类型多样的自然保护地体系。面对机构改革和以国家公园为主体的自然保护地体系建立的契机,传统规划的经验积累为新规划体系的构建提供了借鉴的可能。通过回溯机构改革前各类自然保护地规划,对比分析其规划结构体系,并从人地关系视角切入,分析各类规划针对保护对象、保护利用强度,以及社会发展调控上的差异,总结各类自然保护地规划的既有经验,为新时期规划体系的重构提供支撑。     

区域经济地理学的学科性质与任务

学科的性质与任务是任何学科发展首先面临的,也是经常关注的问题。区域地理是地理学中最古老最核心的部分,学科的发展必须继承地域性、综合性与地域综合思想的地理学传统。区域经济地理学又是地理学中非常年轻而又与经济学交叉的学科,一是说明这门学科富有活力,面对当今诸多的社会经济问题,发展活力很大;二是要在学科交叉渗透过程中,搞清区域经济地理学与区域经济学(经济方向)的联系与区别,以便更自觉地发展地理科学。在区域经济地理学发展过程中,要处理好传统与创新的关系,引进、消化与吸收的关系和学科建设与参与实践关系。文本对"新经济地理学"进行了评析,认为"新经济地理学"是主流经济学与区域经济学(经济方向)的新发展,但不是主流经济地理学的新发展。他们的一些主要理论与模型和一些新的概念有理论指导与借鉴意义,但须经过消化、吸收、改造,使它变为地理学的理论内容方有意义。学科的首要任务是进行学科理论体系建设,以之立足于世界科学之林;积极参与社会经济实践,增强学科的理论与实践基础;肩负着提高全民族发展与培养人才的任务。     

The two sides of academic research: do basic and applied activities complement each other?

It is generally acknowledged that the cuts in government funding for research implemented in several European countries will induce academic researchers to increase their interaction with non academic entities to promote the acquisition of external funding for research. Indirectly this implies that there will be a shift in the focus of academic scientific activity from basic to applied research via private research contracts and consultancy work. The aim of our paper is to assess the extent of the trade-off between basic research and applied activity in academic research departments. We use data for the universe of Italian academic departments over the period 2006–2011 and estimate whether increased applied activity is substituting or complementing basic research activity. We provide empirical evidence of a strong substitution effect for life sciences departments and, to a lesser extent, for engineering and technology departments, while there does not seem to be evidence of a substitution effect for departments whose scientific activity revolves around basic science.     

企业利益相关者理论研究现状与前瞻

利益相关者理论是企业理论发展的一种趋势。论文对利益相关者理论的早期思想、定义与分类进行了回顾：从企业伦理角度、企业社会责任角度、公司财务角度与公司治理角度对研究现状作了梳理,明确了核心利益相关者参与公司治理的可操作性;最后总结了现有研究的不足与未来研究趋势的预测。     

社工参与城市治理质性研究

新型城市治理结构引起了公共行政理论与实践的高度关注。研究发现,社工参与城市治理水平均受城市经济发展水平、人口结构、顶层制度设计和民间机构力量的影响。典型城市社工参与城市治理经验具有一定的可复制性,对具有高度相似性的城市可资借鉴。从而做到少走弯路。     

Acceptance of China Research in Western Accounting Journals (1978-2007)

This study provides a statistical analysis of the research involving mainland China accepted in Western accounting journals in the past thirty years (1978-2007). The analysis focuses on assessing the level of acceptance of China research and examining the publication patterns of these studies. Based on the results, the study then explores factors explaining the findings, and provides critical assessments on the status quo of China research, suggestions to cope with current problems, and suggestions to promote China research.
