Skill and education effects on earnings in 18 Countries: The role of national educational institutions

This study investigates whether the mechanisms why education is rewarded vary across countries. Do educational institutions affect the likelihood that support for a particular mechanism is found? Combining IALS survey data and OECD statistics on educational institutions, it was shown that the effect of measured skill on earnings - controlled for educational attainment - is lower in countries where educational institutions produce skills relevant for work through the vocational system. This indicates that the human capital perspective on education works particularly well in vocationally oriented educational systems, as the skills generated in education are strongly overlapping with the skills that are rewarded. An alternative mechanism sees education as a means for social closure through credentialization. Under the credentialization model, education is not primarily rewarded for the productivity-enhancing skills it entails, but rather for reasons unrelated to productivity. Following this theory education is used for selection into the organization, after which directly observable skills are determining wages. Assuming that a strongly differentiated educational system creates boundaries between social groups, it is hypothesized that strongly differentiated systems lead to stronger measured skill effects. We do not find support for this hypothesis.     

投保人信赖利益保护问题

就如何维护投保人的信赖利益这一问题,理论上存在三种方案,即扩大合同成立的可能性、认定存在先合同义务以及扩大保险人的侵权责任范围.通过合同法或侵权法的一般原则来保护投保人的信赖利益均有可能侵蚀合同自由原则.相对而言,先合同义务理论实际上是一种理性平衡裁判术,在类型化的限制之下,既可维护合同自由,又可实现个案正义.     

浅论国际私法中“冲突法”的定位

文章从一个有趣的比喻出发,把冲突法比作"独孤九剑",来说明冲突法和一般的法律之不同,是一种法律选择之法。接着从法理角度、历史角度、实然角度、应然角度来对冲突法进行定位。最后,重新强调了冲突法是一个独立的法律体系,并指出了掌握冲突法的关键是注意其间接性,力求使文章的知识性和趣味性相结合。     

A case study of the impact of integrated project governances on PPP project performance

Under the new normal state, the PPP project will play a more and more important role in the social and economic development of China. To improve the performance of PPP project management, it is necessary to implement integrated project governances. Firstly, according to the index system of two kinds of PPP projects governances (Contract Governance and Relationship Governance) and PPP project management performance determined by theoretical analysis, the DDX project is selected as the analysis object. After identifying the case, this paper explains the basic information and preliminary work of the case. Then, the three contents of contract governance, relationship governance and project performance are analyzed comprehensively. Case studies show that all of these two governance modes have positive effects on project management performance. However, due to the lack of information in the case, the validity of the conclusion also needs to be verified again.

The Family and Medical Leave Law

Abstract

This essay asks whether the Family and Medical Leave Law (1993) is feminist social policy, as it was touted to be by its political supporters. The study takes three approaches to feminism outlined by Lorber in her 2001 text, Gender Inequality: Feminist Theories and Politics, which considers women in their roles as mothers and workers. Data taken from a Department of Labor FMLA utilization study are then analyzed in the context of these three approaches to feminism. I conclude that the FMLA is not feminist in a substantive way despite its symbolic value.     

日本制造的“满蒙问题”与国际法

近现代史上 ,日本在中国东北地区采取种种手段一步一步地攫取侵略权益 ,从而形成了所谓的“满蒙权益”。由此“使人不得不对日本在其现代对外关系上学习和运用欧洲外交最恶劣的特点及在某些制度上融会西方文化的比较优良部分的聪明智慧 ,具有深刻的印象”。     

综析经济法的精髓

经济集中,是指经济权威组织管理参与经济活动的权力以及为实现上述经济权力而制定的制度和程序.经济民主,是指经济活动主体行使权利的自由以及为实现这些权利所设定的制度和程序.经济法的精髓是经济集中与经济民主的对立统一.这种对立统一关系,在经济领域表现为国家干预和市场调节的对立统一;在政治领域的动因和表现为国家机器职能的转变;在法学领域的动因和表现是"社会本位"法理念的兴起和传统法学理论的突破;在法律领域的表现是经济法这一法律部门的出现.
