Lineage-based heterogeneity and cooperative behavior in rural China

This paper investigates how lineages, the commonly found organizations in rural villages of China, affect people's intra- and cross-lineage cooperative behavior. We use data from the Chinese Household Income Project Survey 2002, which exclusively contains information about the lineage structure in these villages allowing us to classify three levels of lineage-based heterogeneity. Our identification strategy relies on the exogeneity of lineage-based heterogeneity. We find evidence that people in a village with higher lineage-based heterogeneity are less likely to exhibit reciprocity behavior within lineages or contribute to the provision of public goods that are jointly shared across lineages. The estimation results remain robust to the inclusion of various control variables and additional background characteristics. Finally, we examine a number of other economic outcomes and find that more homogenous villages do better than other types of villages.     

传统中国社会财产权利的性质——以清代闵北土地买卖文书为例

文章是对传统中国社会产权制度的定性研究。文章认为,进行定性分析既要避免陷入生搬硬套以西方历史经验为基础的产权理论的窠臼,也要避免盲目强调中国经验的特殊性。必须从特殊经验中去发掘一般性事实的存在。所以文章以清代闽北地区土地买卖文书作为经验材料,反思了学界对于传统社会产权形态研究的现状及其问题,并根据从闽北文书中反映出的一般性事实,认为我国传统社会产权制度是一种“宗法财产权”,即财产权利的界定以身份世系为基础。在宗法财产权的制度安排下：并非个人的财产决定其在社会秩序中的身份,而是其身份决定了个人对于财物的可控制能力。     

基于客流需求分析的高速铁路谱系化列车产品设计

铁路谱系化旅客列车产品是服务于多种需求和不同类型旅客,便于旅客辨识、记忆和准确选择,有利于铁路分类配置运输资源和分层提供运输服务,而目前我国铁路谱系化列车产品特征尚不清晰。在分析荷兰、德国和日本铁路谱系化列车产品的基础上,针对我国高速铁路客流按出行目的和节点等级进行需求分析。提出我国高速铁路谱系化列车产品框架设计,最后以京沪高速铁路为例进行车站节点分级、列车谱系划分和分层级的客流结构分析,给出按停站的谱系化列车产品分类设计,为高速铁路谱系化列车产品设计提供研究依据。
