Employment discrimination in a former Soviet Union Republic: Evidence from a field experiment

We provide the first experimental evidence about ethnic and gender discrimination in the labor market of a former Soviet Union country, Georgia. We randomly assign Georgian and non-Georgian, male and female, names to similar resumes and apply for jobs as advertised on help-wanted websites in Georgia. We find that gender has no effect on the probability of callback, but a job applicant who is ethnically Georgian is more than twice as likely to be called for a job interview than an equally skilled ethnic non-Georgian (Azerbaijani or Armenian). The 113% ethnic gap in callbacks (167% among males and 79% among females), which is substantially larger than the gap typically documented in the existing literature for both developed and developing countries, is statistically significant and cannot be abridged by having more experience or education. There is no evidence of gender discrimination in callbacks, both within the Georgian group and the non-Georgian group.     

大学知识生产能力测度：场域特性、表征框架及实践应用

大学知识生产能力提升是推进中国“双一流”大学建设战略的重要突破口。资源是大学知识生产的基础,大学知识生产资源获取路径存在学术、市场和行政的三维场域分化。通过资源有效利用而培养能力是大学知识生产的最终目标,大学知识生产能力表征框架表现为输入性与输出性能力、学术探究力与市场竞争力的双重坐标,评价场域分化决定了大学知识生产能力测度标准的多维特性。大学科研管理实践是在遵循场域分化和各要素矛盾运动客观规律的基础上,对稳固基础、融合共生、优势转化等战略的主观选择及行动策略。     

Autocracies and regional integration: the Eurasian case

The establishment of the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan in 2010, succeeded by the Eurasian Economic Union in 2015, constituted an important discontinuity in the development of post-Soviet regionalism: while the preceding organisations remained cases of ‘ink-on-paper’ regional integration, in the case of the Customs Union the members actually implemented their commitments. This creates an important theoretical challenge: the literature (which the previous experience of Eurasian regionalism was very much in line with) conjectures that authoritarian states are unable to successfully implement an economic regional integration agreement (RIA). The aim of the article is to explore the conditions under which implementation of economic RIAs by autocracies happens. We argue that the implementation is influenced by the extent of economic, social and political ties between member states, and suggest that, unlike democratic states, which are more likely to implement a RIA where there are strong economic ties, non-democracies are more likely to do so in the case of intermediate economic dependence.     

论GIS在社会经济领域中的运用

地理信息系统是一种新兴的技术工具,它不仅被应用在现代测绘、军事国防、野外数据采集等自然科学方面,而且被广泛应用在社会经济领域中,在管理和决策中具有重要的作用.随着人类获取空间数据能力的不断提高和信息技术的发展,地理信息系统的应用将提升到一个新的深度和广度,它将在国民经济信息化中发挥重要的作用.本文介绍地理信息系统的基本概念及其在经济、管理、法律等领域中的应用实例,着重强调在社会经济领域中开展地理信息系统应用研究的意义.     

Implementing technology-forcing policies: The 1970 Clean Air Act Amendments and the introduction of advanced automotive emissions controls in the United States

Technology forcing is a strategy where a regulator specifies a standard that cannot be met with existing technology, or at least not at an acceptable cost. Using the 1970 U.S. Clean Air Act for controlling automobile emissions as a baseline example, we demonstrate the importance of the regulatory implementation process if regulations are to foster technological change. The 1970 legislation required steep emissions reductions for new 1975 and 1976 automobiles, which presented automakers with major technical and economic challenges. Nevertheless, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency successfully forced the adoption of two marquee control technologies—the catalytic converter in 1975 and the three-way catalyst in 1981. We focus on three factors critical to the implementation process: agency credibility to enforce standards, competitive pressures to drive industry research and development, and uncertainty about technological development.

论当前中国政务诚信缺失的表现与危害

当前,中国各种诚信问题层出不穷,其中政务诚信作为整个社会信用体系的核心,也出现了信用赤字.政务诚信缺失主要表现在政治结果、政治主体与政治过程三个方面,并对民主政治产生了不利的影响与危害：消减了政治权威,造成合法性认同下降,以及行政贯彻过程受阻.     

创新网络领域知识主题研究述评

在知识经济时代,创新网络在企业创新中扮演着重要角色,而研究网络中知识要素的产生、传播、吸收等问题对了解企业网络化创新具有重要意义。基于国内外核心文献数据库,收集创新网络领域知识要素相关文献,并结合文献计量分析方法,对该领域近30年有关知识主题研究的演化规律、整体趋势等进行梳理。结果表明,国内外研究年度发文量均呈现3个阶段变化趋势,且分别拥有各自重要载文期刊,国内研究已形成核心团队,而国外并未形成;国内外研究既有相同之处,也存在差异性,且均形成较为清晰的研究框架;在演化规律上,国内横向拓展和纵向深化研究特征显著,而国外更加注重纵向深入探索分析,研究内容也更加分散;在未来前沿热点分析上,中外学者关注内容既有相同点,也有不同点,知识协同、知识惯例、企业数字化转型对知识影响的研究是未来关注重点。     

Joint implementation under asymmetric information and strategic behavior

Joint Implementation (JI) under the Framework Convention on Climate Change means that countries could partly offset their national abatement commitments by investing in CO₂ abatement projects abroad. JI is introduced as a mechanism for achieving a certain global abatement target less costly by separating the commitments from the implementation of measures. This paper studies the design of a JI contract when the investor has incomplete information about the foreign firm which carries out the JI project (the host). Asymmetric information leads to a decrease in the potential cost savings from JI. Furthermore, private information held by the potential host firm could give the firm a significant positive utility of participating in JI projects. The possibility of being a host for a JI project in the future can prevent potential host firms from investing in profitable abatement projects today. The paper analyzes the impact on emissions of CO₂ of strategic behavior among potential hosts for JI projects.
