Estimation of firm-specific technological bias,technical change and total factor productivity growth: a dual approach

This paper deals with modeling firm-specific technical change (TC), and technological biases (inputs and scale) in estimating total factor productivity (TFP) growth. Several dual parametric econometric models are used for this purpose. We examine robustness of TFP growth and TC among competing models. These models include the traditional time trend (TT) model and the general index (GI) model. The TT and the GI models are generalized to accommodate firm-specific TC and technological bias (in inputs and output). Both nested and non-nested tests are used to select the appropriate models. Firm-level panel data from the Japanese chemical industry during 1968- 1987 is used as an application.     

Racial/Ethnic Minority Vocational Research Trends: An 11‐Year Update

This study extends Flores et al.'s ( 2006 ) 36‐year analysis of racial/ethnic minority (REM) career research to identify recent trends in choice of topics and leading individual and institutional contributors. The authors identified 166 articles on REM career research published from 2005 to 2015 in the Journal of Vocational Behavior, The Career Development Quarterly, the Journal of Career Assessment, and the Journal of Career Development. Of these studies, 92% were empirical, with more than three quarters of these using quantitative rather than qualitative methodology. Most frequently, the empirical studies (n = 153) were based on samples of high school (30.7%) or undergraduate (34.6%) students. The authors discuss the implications of their findings and suggest ways to expand REM career research in the future.     

辽宁“十二五”工业经济发展规划的战略思考——基于产业竞争力的视角

基于产业竞争理论分析辽宁工业经济发展的现状，针对其中存在的利润率低、工业内部配套能力弱、产业之间发展不协调和民间投资被挤出等结构性问题分析其产生原因，认为政府主导资源推动型的发展方式和政府产业规划的雷同性及路径依赖性是造成结构性失衡的主要原因。为此，建议政府在编制辽宁“十二五”工业经济发展规划时应考虑效益指标，按产业发展周期和要素、需求条件等规划重点发展产业，并处理好支柱产业与支撑产业、相关产业之间的关系。

A variable-neighbourhood search algorithm for finding optimal run orders in the presence of serial correlation

The responses obtained from response surface designs that are run sequentially often exhibit serial correlation or time trends. The order in which the runs of the design are performed then has an impact on the precision of the parameter estimators. This article proposes the use of a variable-neighbourhood search algorithm to compute run orders that guarantee a precise estimation of the effects of the experimental factors. The importance of using good run orders is demonstrated by seeking D-optimal run orders for a central composite design in the presence of an AR(1) autocorrelation pattern.     

明中叶文艺思潮对戏曲发展的影响

明中叶至清初时期出现的个性解放和浪漫主义文艺思潮对戏曲的发展产生了深远的影响。在戏曲艺术领域 ,越来越多的剧作家倡导戏曲创作要真实、通俗和自然 ,要摈弃虚伪、迂雅和做作 ;倡导个性解放的浪漫主义开始盛行一时 ,戏曲中语言的通俗化使其更能表现世俗生活中的人情百态 ,且易于为市民阶层所理解和欣赏     

Optimal designs for exponential regression

This paper is concerned with the optimal design problem for the particular case of non-linear parametrisation:the parameters to be estimated are included in exponents.Some properties of locally optimal designs as functions of estimated parameters are investigated and a table of such designs in given.We consider also designs to be optimal in the sense of minimax approach.     

Effects of population policy and economic reform on the trend in fertility in Guangdong province,China, 1975–2005

An analysis of data mainly from China's 1990 and 2000 censuses and 2005 mini-census shows how fertility decline between 1975 and 2005 in the province of Guangdong has been influenced by both fertility policy and economic and social development. Guangdong's development since 1975 has been very rapid and has attracted huge numbers of migrants from other provinces. The analysis of the province's fertility trend from 1975 shows clearly the influence of fertility policy on the trend. The analysis also shows that economic development has brought about large changes in population composition by urban/rural residence, education, occupation, and migration status, which, together with large fertility differentials by these characteristics, have contributed substantially to Guangdong's fertility decline, in large part through changes in proportions currently married.

我国政治发展战略的发展政治学诠释

我国社会主义政治发展战略是由邓小平理论设定的 ,从发展政治学的角度来看 ,邓小平的政治思想是一个指导中国从落后的政治系统走向发达的政治系统、由传统政治走向现代政治、由人治社会走向法治社会的前进上升的运动过程的科学体系 ,它阐述了我国社会主义初级阶段政治发展的走向和目标、内容和动力、条件和路径、以及政治发展的标尺等基本内容。邓小平政治理论就是现代中国的发展政治学 ,就是我国民主政治发展的宏伟蓝图
