Accumulation and distribution of human capital: the interaction between individual and aggregate variables

The paper analyses the joint evolution of accumulation and distribution of human capital in an OLG framework. Dynamics arises from the interplay between human capital distribution and individual variables—inherited human capital and inborn ability. Such interaction drives individual investment in human capital and accumulation in the economy. According to initial distribution the model provides different dynamical behaviours linking growth and inequality; in general economies with a more equal initial distribution grow faster but other cases are possible. Moreover, since the model provides an endogenous threshold for investing in human capital, the distribution is characterised by multi-modality.     

关于增加湖北省中等收入者比重的调查与分析(上)

我国中等收入阶层的形成和壮大，是同无数中等收入的形成和壮大联系在一起的，也与我国经济社会体制的不断跃迁、不断完善密切相关，特别是中等收入的特质及其影响力，是与我国经济社会体制改革的效率和整个社会的福利水平呈现一种正相关关系的。扩大中等收入比重，提高低收入收入水平，这是在新的历史条件下对我国传统收入分配制度的一个新的注解。

Population Aging and the Possibility of a Middle-Income Trap in Asia

We present three conditions for a demography-driven middle-income trap and show that many economies in East, South, and Southeast Asia satisfy all of them. The conditions involve (1) the support ratio of workers to consumers has an impact on economic growth, (2) economic development accompanies more investment in human capital and lower fertility due to the quantity–quality trade-off, and (3) a current low level of fertility corresponds to very low support ratios for keeping up with frontier economies in the long run. Panel analysis for 178 countries shows that (1) and (2) are satisfied for Asia with higher elasticity than others. As for (3), we set up a dynamic model for simulations, showing that approximately two-third of Asia’s developing countries have an unsustainable level of support ratios, implying possibility of a middle-income trap due to future demographic headwinds.     

The Role of Total Factor Productivity Growth in Middle-Income Countries

We examine the importance of total factor productivity (TFP) growth in middle-income countries (MICs) based on cross-country panel data for the period of 1975–2014. We find that TFP growth contributed significantly to a country’s upward transition from middle-income to high-income country group. The TFP growth model reveals that the catch-up effect, human capital, smaller population, weak currency, and research and development growth are significant sources of TFP growth. We do not find a systematic difference in the TFP growth models for MICs. In analyzing the role of factors influencing TFP growth at different income stages, strengthening innovative activities and building innovative capacities are important in overcoming the challenges that MICs face when transitioning to the high-income group. Governments of upper MICs need to initiate reform to motivate innovation by optimizing national R&D systems, and redesigning the educational system to target promoting innovation.     

在实训教学中推行“5S”管理

起源于日本的"5s"管理,是指在对生产现场的生产要素,如:人员、机器、材料和方法等进行的有效管理,这是日本企业独特的一种管理办法。由于应用此方法能够有效推动企业的良好发展,因此,现在已广泛应用于我国的各类型企业中,但是以职业技能教育为主的高职学院各类实训中心却少有应用,本文将介绍"5S"管理的作用及如何应用于实训中心教学管理中。

关于发展我国市政债券及市场的几点思考

我国＂十二五＂期间将积极稳妥推进城镇化,提升城镇发展质量和水平。在资金来源渠道有限的情况下,我们可以借鉴美国发行市政债券促进地方城市基础建设的经验和做法,改变我国城镇基础建设设施落后,投入不足的现状,按照市场经济的要求,逐步建立市场化、多渠道、多层次的资金筹措新体制。通过发行市政债券将更多的社会资金引入公共部门,推动我国城镇化进程。
