当“80后”辅导员遇上“90后”大学生

高校辅导员是大学生最亲切的朋友。时下,辅导员队伍发生了巨大变化,高校普遍出现了"双○"现象,即施教者为"80后"和被教者为"90后"。当"90后"学生看见年纪轻轻的"80后"辅导员会有何种认知,反过来"80后"的小老师们会如何带领自己的"小战士"走的更远,学得更好呢。本文将论述"80后"辅导员与"90后"大学生各自不同的的行为方式与鲜活特点,阐述如何在新时期做好两个群体间的互动交流,让学生思政工作更具时代特色。     

省略现象在翻译中的应用

汉英翻译应在达意的基础上注意同构成分的省略,省略冠词、代词是减少“翻译腔”的主要措施。     

International Knowledge Flows and Productivity: Intra- vs. Inter-Industry Spillovers

The effects of international knowledge spillovers on total factor productivity (TFP) at the industry level are examined by using a panel of 13 manufacturing industries across 15 OECD countries over 23 years. We distinguish between intra- and inter-industry spillovers from the information on patent applications and citations. Patent data are taken from the Japan Patent Office and the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Using four alternative spatial panel estimation techniques, we find that international knowledge spillovers within the same industry significantly contribute to sectoral TFP. In contrast, there is little evidence of a positive effect of international knowledge spillovers on TFP across industries.     

知识产权保护、技术溢出与创业活跃度——基于国家知识产权示范城市建设的准自然实验

知识产权保护可以通过改变市场中的技术溢出状态对创新和创业活动产生影响。在完全信息动态和静态博弈框架下,知识产权保护一方面可以通过减少非法技术溢出提高创新者的创业利润,另一方面可以通过增加合法技术溢出提高模仿者的创业利润,从而同时促进创新者和模仿者的创业活动。以国家知识产权示范城市建设为准自然实验,采用2005—2018年270个城市面板数据的多时点双重差分检验发现：国家知识产权示范城市政策的实施显著促进了示范城市专利密集型产业的新创企业和有软件著作权信息的新创企业增加,其中存在加强知识产权行政和司法保护、增加技术供给和引用的中介机制,且这种创业促进效应在知识产权保护水平较高和专利转让数量较多的城市中更为明显。上述结果表明,知识产权保护能够通过减少非法技术溢出和增加合法技术溢出的双重路径产生显著的创业促进效应,在非法技术溢出较少和合法技术溢出较多的情形下,知识产权保护和发展的创业促进效应更大。因此,应在加强知识产权保护力度的同时,积极推动知识产权健康发展。     

浅析《道路交通安全法》第76条在第三者责任险中的司法运用

新交通法实施以来,因道路交通损害赔偿纠纷的案件急剧增加。由于缺少配套的法律规定和司法解释,各地法院在运用交通法第76条审理案件时出现了不同的理解,并且与相关法律尤其是《保险法》出现了部分立法冲突!对第三者责任险的不同理解使得矛盾凸显!在司法实践中也出现了不少问题,但本质上是由于第76条自身缺陷造成的。本文根据现有的法律法规,从法理的角度分析,提出解决问题的办法。     

Impact of traffic citations to reduce truck crashes on challenging roadway geometry

Wyoming's Interstate 80 has one of the highest truck crash rates in the United States. This is due to a variety of reasons, including high percentage of truck traffic, adverse weather conditions and mountainous terrain. These factors have caused the Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) to spend extensive resources on inspecting commercial vehicles and enforcement of traffic laws in this corridor. This study estimated the correlation between traffic citations and truck crashes. In addition, the paper evaluated the increased risk of truck crashes in adverse weather and road conditions. The explanatory variables included geometric features, weather condition, traffic volume and types of citations. This research concluded that speeding related citations and truck crashes are negatively correlated, and the risk of truck crashes is significantly higher when weather is not clear, and the road is not dry.     

The micro-geography of academic research: How distinctive is economics?

This study examines micro-geographic clustering in the production and recognition of academic research. Three U.S. ZIP codes are associated with over 40 percent of articles in the top five economics journals and those articles garnered one-half of all citations in these journals from 2000 to 2015. Such micro-geographic concentration is not apparent in other disciplines, even those like chemistry that rely on specialized laboratories. Concentration of citations to economics articles whose authors are associated with a few key ZIP codes has strengthened over time, even as it has weakened for other disciplines. This micro-geographic concentration may increase systemic risk by reducing the diversity of economics research that is published and cited and may lead to insufficient research attention to local context.     

The bright side of co‐opted boards: Evidence from firm innovation

This study documents a positive and robust effect of co‐opted boards on firm innovation. This effect is mainly driven by co‐opted independent directors. Firms with more co‐opted independent directors are associated with lower sensitivities of CEO pay and turnover to performance. It suggests that co‐opted boards promote innovation by insulating managers’ career concerns from innovation risk and supporting incentive contracts that motivate innovation. Overall, our study provides new evidence on co‐opted boards benefiting firm innovation.     

The Tourism System Research Categorization Framework

This analysis produced a tourism system research categorization framework comprising mutually exclusive subject areas to classify the keywords in academic journal articles. The primary research goals were to develop this framework and then assess the frequency levels of specific tourism research subject areas in the 10-year period of 2002–2011. A database of 37,918 author-selected keywords from 9,588 research articles in 31 tourism, hospitality, and leisure journals was created. Using the proposed framework, the database was divided into six main categories (destination; demand; travel; marketing; geographical areas; and generic terms) and 61 sub-categories. The destination category captured the most keywords, followed by demand and then marketing.     

Employee treatment and firm innovation

We identify firm innovation as a channel through which the treatment of employees affects firm value. Long‐term incentive theory supports positive effects of ‘good’ employee treatment on innovation. Alternatively, entrenchment theory suggests such treatment will lead to complacency and shirking, hence deterring innovation. These opposing views merit investigation since human capital is increasingly essential to the growth and success of a firm. Using the KLD database and patent/citation data, we find a significant positive relationship between favorable employee treatment and the innovation quantity and quality of a firm. Furthermore, we find that the positive treatment of employees improves innovation focus – more innovation related to firms’ core business, leading to greater firm value via the increased economic value of patents. These findings, robust to endogeneity concerns, provide support for the long‐term incentive hypothesis, suggesting that well‐treated employees increase firm innovation. Thus, firm innovation represents a channel through which positive employee treatment enhances firm value.
