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.     

Structural estimation of behavioral heterogeneity

We develop a behavioral asset pricing model in which agents trade in a market with information friction. Profit‐maximizing agents switch between trading strategies in response to dynamic market conditions. Owing to noisy private information about the fundamental value, the agents form different evaluations about heterogeneous strategies. We exploit a thin set—a small sub‐population—to point identify this nonlinear model, and estimate the structural parameters using extended method of moments. Based on the estimated parameters, the model produces return time series that emulate the moments of the real data. These results are robust across different sample periods and estimation methods.     

内隔墙对小尺寸基坑围护结构变形特性影响研究

深基坑开挖对基坑变形及周围环境的影响一直是工程中关心的问题.而利用好基坑的空间效应则可以控制好变形.本文采用plaxis有限元分析对利用内隔墙产生的二次空间效应来控制基坑变形的影响,分析了内隔墙的刚度、埋入深度和基坑尺寸之间的相互影响.分析结果对城市中心复杂环境下施工过程中对基坑的监测和周围环境保护有较好的指导作用.     

民用机场飞行区下穿通道道路工程设计要点分析

根据飞行区地面服务车辆的交通特点、车辆几何特征,分析了民用机场飞行区下穿通道中道路工程设计的要点,分析认为:①应充分考虑穿越沿线的整体竖向设计方案;②结合飞行区地面服务车道的设计经验,车道宽度建议取4.0m,超车道取3.75m,机动车道净高建议取4.2m;③路基设计过程中应充分考虑下穿通道两侧的不均匀沉降问题以及回填土难以碾压密实的问题.     

隐性杠杆约束、流动性风险和投资者情绪

本文以2003—2019年间开放式主动管理型的股票型和偏股型基金为样本,以持仓占比为权重估算基金投组中A股的总市场风险暴露,检验结果表明,该序列上升反映了基金面临的隐性杠杆约束收紧,刻画了市场的弱流动性。内在逻辑在于,流动性收紧时,投资者难以通过融资直接增加杠杆,更倾向于重仓持有高市场风险头寸的股票而间接实现杠杆。本文发现隐性杠杆约束所刻画的风险在股票或基金收益截面上的无条件定价基本失效,而条件定价则依赖于低市场情绪与弱流动性。分解基金持股的敞口,进一步发现,因中小盘基金在流动性收紧时具有更强的流动性偏好,其持股的市场风险头寸能够更敏锐地捕捉到弱流动性风险。

Aid for trade and the quality of exports

This article studies how aid for trade (AfT) affects the quality of recipient countries’ exports. It shows that the quality effect is most discernible for AfT for assistance in trade policy: a 50% increase in the value of AfT received in this category is associated with a 0.5–1% increase in the quality of exports to the donor and other OECD countries. On average, the actual AfT received for assistance in trade policy leads to a 2% upgrade of the recipient country in the quality ladder of all developing countries. Around half of this quality effect is driven by the quality improvement of continued products in continued markets (intensive margin), and the other half by the quality upgrading of new products in continued markets and existing products in new markets (extensive margin).

国内失业预防问题研究历程与文献评述

失业问题一直是社会关注的热点.如何化解失业风险,提前做好失业预防有着重要意义.通过对“中国知网”和万方数据知识服务平台学术文献涉及“失业预防”问题的电子文献调查统计分析,发现失业预防问题的研究有失业预防政策类研究和失业预警模型构建研究.现有文献对失业预防问题研究存在着缺少对失业预防机制的系统性研究,多为失业预防宏观研究,缺少微观研究,失业预防机制效果评价研究更少,失业预防按照群体划分的研究也较少等问题.     

货币政策、企业家信心与上市公司投资效率*

企业、企业家等微观主体对货币政策的反应，在较大程度上影响货币政策的效果。货币政策可通过对企业家信心的影响，进而对公司投资效率产生作用。基于中国2007—2016年40个季度A股上市公司样本的实证研究表明：企业家信心在货币政策传导过程中有不可忽视的作用。企业家信心增强或者货币政策宽松时会加剧过度投资，减轻投资不足；企业家信心减弱或者货币政策紧缩时可以有效抑制过度投资，但会加剧投资不足。其中，国有企业对企业家信心和货币政策松紧的敏感性更强。进一步，货币政策对企业投资效率的影响，也会通过货币政策和企业家信心的交互作用而发挥作用。这种作用在国有企业和非国有企业之间无显著差异。
