从性别歧视观看中西女性解放的差异

女性解放是中西方共同关注的社会话题,学术界也已经有许多关于这方面的研究.但如果没有将这一主题与中西方文化背景相联系,则很容易将两者混淆.为了更好地理解和把握中西方女性解放,应先对中西方性别歧视观（中国的关联式性别歧视观和西方的二元论性别歧视观）进行比较,然后通过性别歧视观来把握中西女性解放问题.     

Inflation,currency exchange rates,and the international securities markets

A time-state-preference model of an efficient and complete international financial market is employed to investigate the conditions under which the international Fisher Effect will hold, and the forward currency exchange rate will be an unbiased estimate of the future spot rate. The presence of stochastic inflation within countries in the fiat-currency prices of real goods will destroy both relationships, even in the absence of any institutional imperfections or trading barriers. Similarly, expected inflation rate differentials across countries will not coincide with spot-versus-forward currency exchange rate differentials.     

Forecasting Market Size and Market Growth Rates for New Products

How many times is a forecast of a technological development correct? According to many experienced managers, it almost never is. Then what good is a forecast? A forecast helps make important innovation decisions, according to Brian C. Twiss. He argues that precision in forecasting a technological development is seldom needed for purposes of long-term planning and that any innovation so marginal that small errors in forecasting will make a big difference should not be considered anyway. Twiss suggests that technology forecasting can be of real value once it is accepted that it is essentially concerned with modeling human behavior. This is the unexpected viewpoint that Twiss presents in this article. He explains how to develop and how to use a technology forecast in long-range planning.     

Tourism and cultural dependency in the West Indies

Traditionally dependency has been viewed as an economic and/or political relationship, but this article focuses instead on the concept of cultural dependency and then examines tourism as a possible agent for facilitating its development in the West Indies, probing in the process the interface between cultural and economic/political dependency. Scattered ideas from the tourism literature are gathered into four “implicit theories”—Trickle Down, Commodization, Mass Seduction, and Black Servility— which are then evaluated. The article recommends the use of a Commodization/Mass Seduction synthesis for future research to generate hypotheses which, if empirically verified, will represent not only a contribution to dependency theory and tourism studies in particular, but also to International Relations theory in general.     

The effectiveness of electric utility price regulation in the 1970s a stochastic dominance analysis

This paper examines whether electricity price regulation in the United States has been effective during the period January 1969 through December 1977. Because our analysis provides evidence suggesting that the price-setting system has been ineffective, we extended our study to examine the equability among regulated firms as well as the relationship between firms' asset size and return distributions. These latter examinations shed some light on the quality of the accounting information set, which serves as a major input to the price-setting process.     

中国家具文化的西渐探索

中国家具文化历史悠久,西渐的过程大致可以分为＂传说＂＂引进＂＂吸收、融洽＂三个阶段;向西方传播的途径主要是战争与商贸、宗教与传教士、器物与建筑、借鉴与融洽。西方学者对中国家具文化进行的一些研究,促进了中西方家具文化的交流。     

“中美国”的终结

在过去十年中,世界经济表现较好的原因是,形成了由中国出口导向型发展和美国过度消费相结合的经济模式。2007～2009年的金融危机可能标志着"中美国"时代的终结。本文将从经济史学者的视角研究这一时期的种种事态发展及其产生的深远影响。中国经济模式在1998～2007将近10年间,某些方面类似于西德和日本第二次世界大战之后的经济模式,即对美的贸易顺差在推动经济增长中发挥了主要作用。然而值得注意的是,中国与这两个国家的经济模式存在着两个关键性差异。首先,中国干预货币的规模是前所未有的,而这对世界经济造成的扭曲也是如此;其次,中国迄今为止仍抵制类似西德和日本升值货币的做法。从中可以推断出,当前的"中美国"形式不可能长久。在20世纪70年代,世界经济的重新平衡有赖于汇率的大幅度调整。但是,中国政府目前采取的汇率调整却无法平衡当前世界经济。     

国外落后地区开发的经验对我国西部大开发的启示

考察世界经济发展史发现,西方国家在其发展的特定阶段或时期几乎都面临不同程度的区域经济发展不均衡的问题,曾经存在着与我国相类似的＂西部现象＂。为了缩小地区差距,他们高度重视落后地区的开发与建设,在统筹区域协调发展方面进行了富有成效的探索与实践,留下了许多宝贵经验和有益启示。当前,我国在实施西部大开发战略,西方国家促进落后地区发展的许多举措至今都值得我们学习和借鉴。     

Migration and technical efficiency in cereal production: evidence from Burkina Faso

This article uses a double bootstrap procedure and survey data from Burkina Faso in a two‐stage estimation to explore ways in which continental and intercontinental migration determine efficiency in cereal production of rural households. Findings suggest that continental migration has a positive relation and intercontinental migration no relation with technical efficiency. For continental migrant households, migration has removed surplus male labor, a cause for inefficiency in production. Intercontinental migration leads to a gender imbalance in the household, which cannot be compensated for by investments in farm equipment. The failure of intercontinental migration to transform cereal production from traditional to modern is attributed to an imperfect market environment.     

当代西方德育发展特征对我国德育建设的启示

中国改革开放二十多年来,随着市场经济体制的确立和人民物质生活水平的提高,道德景况却出现了危机,这在很大程度上恰与西方二十世纪五六十年代以来出现的情况相似。我国已将这个问题提到了重要日程上,并积极开展德育建设工程,倡导德育改革一为完成这个艰巨的使命,我们可以认真借坚西方当代德育的发展特征以更好地促进我国的德育建设。
