关于我国反贫困问题的认识

反贫困是落实科学发展观、建设和谐社会的重大内涵之一。贫困,是指部分人在社会中由于种种原因被排挤到经济生活边缘、失去了过当时当地基本生活的可行能力的状态。贫困的形成有自然的、经济的、政治的、文化的多种原因。因此,反贫困不能搞单项对策,应实施反贫困的系统工程。     

Why is group-based pay perceived as meaningful,meaningless or negative? Exploring the meanings of pay suggested by reflection theory

This study explored the propositions of the reflection theory of pay [Thierry (2001), Work Motivation in the Context of a Globalizing Economy, Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, pp. 149–166]. The theory is grounded in theories of individual motivation. However, in a group-based pay context more socially oriented motivational factors may also play a role. In addition, the theory does not take into account that pay may have negative meanings. In this study, we have adopted a qualitative approach to improve the understanding of what meanings group-based pay may have. The research questions were the following: (1) why is group-based result-oriented pay perceived as meaningful, (2) why is group-based result-oriented pay perceived as meaningless and (3) why is group-based result-oriented pay perceived to have a negative meaning. To study the meanings attached to group-based pay, we conducted 29 focus group interviews (88 employees) in six municipal organizations in Finland. The results showed that the reasons for perceiving group-based pay as meaningful were related to the value of money, compensation for performance, the positive messages signalled by the pay and positive outcomes. On the other hand, when pay was perceived as meaningless, the arguments were related to the weak instrumentality of money, weak links between performance and pay, incompatibility and lack of knowledge. The negative meanings were related to negative message conveyed by the pay and its outcomes. When these results were compared with four meanings proposed by reflection theory, all four categories were found in the speech of the interviewees. In addition, two new categories were found and designated as ‘messages’ and ‘outcomes’. These new categories were theoretically linked to social identity theory.     

Volatility in the knowledge economy

Summary. We seek to explain the economic volatility of the last 6 years, in particular the rapid expansion and contraction of the knowledge sectors. Our hypothesis is that these sectors amplify the business cycle due to their increasing returns to scale, growing faster than others in an upswing and contracting faster in a downswing. To test this hypothesis we postulate a general equilibrium model with two sectors: one with increasing returns that are external to the firm and endogenously determined - the knowledge sector - and the other with constant returns to scale. We introduce a new measure of volatility of output, a real beta, and derive a resolving equation, from which we prove that the increasing return sectors exhibit more volatility then other sectors. We validate the main results on US macro economic data of real GDP by industry (2-3 digits SIC codes) of the 1977-2001 period, and provide policy conclusions.Received: 18 March 2002, Revised: 16 February 2004, JEL Classification Numbers: D5, D58, E10, L50, L52, O38, O51.Correspondence to: Graciela Chichilnisky

Wage Inequality and Wage Mobility in Europe

Using data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions, this paper investigates wage inequality and wage mobility in Europe. Decomposing inequality into within‐ and between‐group inequality, we analyze to what extent wage inequality and mobility can be explained by observable characteristics. Furthermore, we investigate which individual and household characteristics determine transitions within the wage distribution. We find that overall, mobility reduces wage inequality. While a large part of wage inequality is due to unobservable characteristics, the equalizing effect of mobility mainly occurs within groups. Furthermore, both personal and household characteristics play an important role for wage transitions. Finally, our findings reveal large cross‐country differences across Europe.     

城市化进程中农户对农村环境投资需求分析——以南京市城乡边缘区为例

本文以城市化进程中农村环境建设为起点,结合目前的新农村建设,通过调查南京市城乡边缘区农户对现有农村环境质量状况的评价和未来政府环境投资的需求,比较和分析了农户对政府不同类型环境投资的需求强度。结果认为,城市化进程致使农村环境质量恶化,加强农村环境建设十分必要,而且农户对此也有较强的需求。从满足农户偏好出发,政府应把有限的资金重点投资于既能产生环境效益又能产生经济效益的基础设施建设项目中,同时应结合当地实际情况,充分利用城市化进程给农村环境建设带来的契机。     

饭店业工作要求对员工工作态度的影响研究——JD-R模型在中国饭店业情境下的验证

如何缓解饭店业员工工作压力、提高员工工作满意度和降低其离职意向,已成为业界与学界共同关注的焦点。本文运用6家饭店271份调查问卷结果,采用PASW18.0多元调节回归分析对工作要求-资源模型(JD-R)进行了验证,结果表明:工作要求和工作资源都分别对工作态度具有主效应;工作控制没有在工作要求即员工工作态度间起调节作用;一般自我效能仅在超负荷工作量-工作满意度、人际冲突-离职意向间起调节作用。此研究结论对饭店业人力资源管理实践具有一定启示意义。     

城中村改造:政府、城市与村民利益的统一--以广州市文冲城中村为例

城中村是我国快速城市化背景下、城市向乡村蔓延过程中出现的普遍地理现象和城乡矛盾激化的一个缩影.城中村改造的过程是城市政府、城市发展要求和原村民三方利益主体对土地收益和城市功能的博弈过程,城中村的改造也只有在保证三方的利益得到合理保障的情况下才能顺利进行.以"广州市文冲城中村改造方案"为基础,探讨城中村改造的规划方案中如何体现政府管理、城市发展要求和原村民三方利益的共赢,提出一条切实可行的城中村改造思路.     

资源型城市转型与循环经济发展--以黑龙江省伊春市为例

随着人类对资源的不断利用,资源型城市大都面临着转型问题,如何实现资源型城市的可持续发展,既是一个需要研究的理论问题,更是一个亟待解决的实际问题。通过伊春市经济资本和技术资本发展困境分析,采用生态足迹方法计算了资源型城市伊春市2003年的生态足迹,得出此地区尚未出现生态赤字,但对它的转型却迫在眉睫,据此提出了伊春市应向循环经济型生态城市转型的思路及实现路径和方法。     

我国城镇居民平均消费倾向与收入分配状况关系的实证研究

中国的有效需求不足现象近年来成为一个被普遍关注的问题,而居民消费需求不足更是成为关注的焦点。本文在前人研究的基础上,从标准的消费者预期效用最大化模型出发,推导出中国城镇居民的个体"短视"消费模型和总量消费模型;运用我国1985～2004年城镇居民消费、收入及其他相关数据,通过误差修正模型和对数线性模型分别对数据进行了计量分析,发现在我国现阶段,城镇居民收入分配差距的扩大引起了居民平均消费倾向的减小,且其长期影响尤为显著。在对计量结果进行分析的基础上,本文给出了若干政策建议。
