The curse of natural resources in the transition economies*

The curse of natural resources is a well‐documented phenomenon for developing countries. Economies that are richly endowed with natural resources tend to grow slowly. Among the transition economies of the former ‘Eastern Bloc’, a similar pattern can be observed. This paper shows that a large part of the variation in growth rates among the transition economies can be attributed to the curse of natural resources. After controlling for numerous other factors, there is still a strong negative correlation between natural resource abundance and economic growth. Among the transition economies the prime reasons for the curse of natural resources were corruption and a neglect of basic education. In order to overcome the curse of natural resources and move to a sustainable path of development, the resource abundant transition countries should fight corruption and ensure that their resource revenues are invested in human capital or the preservation of natural capital.     

Working-time reduction and employment: experiences in Europe and economic policy recommendations

The paper seeks to evaluate the evidence on the employment effectsof the collective working-time reductions in Europe over thepast 20 years. While theoretical analyses produce contradictoryassessments, most empirical studies show positive employmenteffects but take insufficient account of these conditions underwhich the reductions in working time were implemented. Theseconditions for the success of collective working-time reductionsinclude an active training policy designed to minimise skillshortages in the labour market, the modernisation of work organisation,wage increases in conjunction with productivity gains and amore equal income distribution.     

孔隙水对深部巷道稳定性影响研究

随着经济的飞速发展,对资源的需求量越来越大,长期大强度的开采导致浅部的矿产资源已日渐枯竭,矿产资源的开采向深部转移,巷道的稳定性将受到高地应力和高孔隙水压力等深部恶劣环境的影响。因此本文运用岩体力学理论和有限差分软件FLAC3D,考虑流-固耦合的情况下,对高地应力下孔隙水压力的巷道的变形和稳定性进行了理论分析和数值模拟,得到孔隙水的存在使巷道变形增大,巷道的稳定性减弱。

反思与超越：水权交易中公民参与维度的构建

在水权交易中提高公民参与的力度,契合民主社会发展之需要,促进水资源的优化配置。利益博弈是公民参与水权交易主要动因,社会讯息互动、法律制度保障、公民参与精神等的缺失是当前制约公民参与水权交易的现实困境,因而今后应着力进行公民参与的多重建构,具体可在水权交易中引入公共参与的概念并对之进行具体体系构建,从法律和精神两个层面出发,通过全局体系构建模式完善公民参与制度。
