Institutional dynamics and access to non-farm employment in rural China, 1950–1996

This article examines non-farm employment in the context of Chinese rural institutional change, based on evidence from discrete-time logistic models for event history analysis using the Life History and Social Change survey. We find the transition to non-farm sector rose rapidly during the Great Leap Forward and market reform, while the Cultural Revolution saw it reach the lowest ebb. While male advantage prevailed exclusively during the Cultural Revolution and early marketization, education possessed a stable positive effect in all historical periods. Although the returns to different kinds of political capital vary along with institutional dynamics, intergenerational reproduction was greatly reduced after the Cultural Revolution.

Valuing the Option to Purchase an Asset at a Proportional Discount

I analyze the value of a nonstandard call option that allows the holder to purchase an underlying asset at a discount proportional to the asset's market price. Several applications for this type of option exist, including its use in employee compensation contracts. I derive the value of this option for a dividend-paying asset and for an option whose exercise price reflects a time-varying discount factor. The derived value incorporates the optimal time at which the option should be exercised. One application of this option relates to a residential real estate program in China.     

剪刀下的彩虹——卢雪的艺术人生

“是神话,还是童话?夏天的树,春天的花,秋天的果实,冬天的洁白无暇,都在你的剪裁下,变成了一幅幅美丽的图画;蓝眼睛的俊俏,黑眼睛的潇洒,古代人的智慧,现代人的豁达,你都妙手生春,让他们一个个神采焕发。卢雪呀,卢雪!你用剪刀创造了艺术,你的故事便是一首天真无邪的童话。”这是中国著名词作家乔羽先生,看到卢雪的剪纸,不禁为她的艺术作品所折服,写下的这首热情洋溢也是仅为个人所作的《卢雪之歌》。人生何处不是歌卢雪是泰安市岱岳区人,现为中国艺术剪纸协会会长、中国艺术研究院特邀研究员。卢雪的人生,可说是伴随着剪纸成长的。她从小受…     

板峪口—上寨地区韧性剪切带的发现及其地质意义

板峪口—上寨地区位于太行山中段阜平穹褶束与五台山—恒山花岗绿岩带汇合部位。该区发育两期韧性剪切带,第一期为拆离—滑脱型韧性剪切带;第二期为逆冲推覆型韧性剪切带。本文重点总结了韧性剪切带地质特征,并对其地质意义进行了讨论。认为原五台群为由一系列韧性剪切带分割的构造岩片叠置体。板峪口组和五台群金刚库组中的部分中深变质片麻岩为“外来岩片。”原五台山群与阜平群为由韧性剪切带接触。并总结了韧性剪切带对金矿的成矿、控矿规律。     

浅议中央与地方政府间转移支付的效率

中央政府对地方政府转移支付的目的是缓解纵向非均衡和横向非均衡。缓解纵向非均衡体现在平衡地方财政收支缺口和地方财政特殊支出缺口，贯彻的是效率原则；缓解横向非均衡体现在平衡地区间财政能力差异、地区公共品外部性和地区公共品规模经济，前贯彻的是公平原则，后两贯彻的是效率原则。应从转移支付体系的设计、转移支付手段的选择、转移支付与市场机制的配合等方面提高中央对地方政府间转移支付的效率。     

房地产价格风险：国际教训、中国的现状及路径选择

房地产泡沫会增加金融风险,房价大幅缩水会导致银行破产,股市下跌。日本、美国、英国、泰国等都爆发过与房地产相关的银行危机。目前,中国房地产金融具有市场风险、财务风险、道德风险和信用风险等潜在风险。应利用税收手段限制投机性购房和短期炒作行为,鼓励中小户型住房的消费,加强城镇廉租住房制度建设,防范“假按揭”风险,完善惩戒机制,加强利率风险管理,完善住房置业担保制度,进一步研究制定房贷保险制度。     

Identification and analysis of underdeveloped resource-rich regions in China

This paper analyzes the existence of developmental views and compares the results of previous studies for underdeveloped regions.In view of the limitations of previous studies,this study details regional unit,expands index system,applies factor-analysis to structure index system,uses the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model to improve analytic hierarchy process,and identifies the economic developmental levels of 384 regions,including 4 municipalities,333 cities at prefecture level,and 47 counties under the jurisdiction of province.The levels of the 47 counties are identified by dividing the rank of comprehensive values of more than 337 regions unit into five equal graduations and then matching the 47 counties with the five-graduation results.This study provides the distribution of resources-rich region in China qualitatively and quantitatively in terms of coal,oil gas and other 14 kinds of metal mineral resources.Finally,by matching the two parts of results,this study identifies the distribution of underdeveloped resource-rich regions （URRRs）.URRRs are mainly distributed in Shaanxi,Shanxi,Guizhou,Yunnan,Sichuan,He ＇nan,Shandong,Guangxi and Gansu provinces,which accounts for 78.57% of the total in China.To a certain degree,the result of this paper proves that ＂resources curse ＂ existing in the national stratification plane in later 20^th century still takes places in some cities in China,especially in the counties of these cities ＇jurisdiction.
