攀西地区特色产业扶贫发展经验研究——以攀枝花市米易县为例

攀西地区得天独厚的气候条件孕育着特色产业发展的巨大优势,该地区充分利用其特有的气候条件,依托独特的资源优势,实施特色产业扶贫战略,积极走现代化、标准化、规模化的生态发展之路,大力发展早、稀、特、优等现代特色产业,加快产业结构调整,积极带动农民增收致富,农村经济实力和农业发展活力不断增强,农业增产增效、农民持续增收,为当地群众脱贫发展做出了积极贡献。本文以攀西地区米易县为研究案例,积极探索该区域特色产业脱贫发展经验,对类似气候条件下特色产业扶贫发展提供一个可供参考的研究个案,以便能充分地开发利用特殊气候下的自然资源,实现长效扶贫,促进当地群众脱贫致富积极创造条件。     

西部地区农村老年贫困影响因素实证分析--基于西部地区106个村落的调查数据

基于西部地区106个村落1575位农村老年人的调查数据,对影响老年人贫困的因素进行实证分析。Probit模型显示：影响老年人贫困的因素有共性因素和特性因素,年龄、劳动、政府救济金、财产性收入、低保和子女生活费、子女经济状况是影响老年人贫困的共性因素;文化程度、健康程度、自理能力和是否有养老保险是影响不与子女同住的老年人贫困的特性因素;子女数、性别、婚姻状况是影响与子女同住的老年人贫困的特性因素。针对这一结论,应大力发展农村经济、完善农村社会保障体系,大力发展农村教育、基础医疗建设,弘扬社会主义新型“孝文化”,营造尊老爱幼的良好社会氛围,缓解西部地区老年贫困。     

中国城市化进程效率估算及影响因素分析

本文基于2008—2012年中国285个地级市的数据,运用双边随机前沿模型测算了中国城市化进程的前沿水平以及实际水平相对前沿水平的偏离程度。结果发现,下偏效应大于上偏效应,即中国城市化进程整体表现为滞后,并且发现投资作用和政府作用在影响城市化进程中的表现为负向,另外城市化进程也表现出地区间的不平衡。最后根据本文的发现,提出相应的建议。     

中国林区贫困现状及解决对策研究综述

林区有着丰富的自然资源,但是近年来,林区社会经济落后以及林农的贫困成为我国现阶段较为显著的现象,同时也成为影响林业发展以及整个社会发展的一个迫在眉睫的问题。林区贫困问题引起了国内外学者的极大关注,本文主要论述了我国林区贫困的现状,并介绍了目前较为典型的5个解决林区贫困的方法和对策：即生态移民、开发非木材林产品、森林旅游、中央和地方政府的扶持、发展教育。     

区域产业文化与人力资源优化配置研究

区域经济发展依赖于区域产业的发展,区域产业竞争力则体现为区域资源整合力,尤其是区域人力资源的优化配置.区域产业文化不仅具有区域性、宽松性和产业群人才观三大特征,还具有促进区域人力资源优化配置的功能.区域产业文化建设需要政府、企业、科研机构等各种区域利益相关者在健全法规、扶持核心企业、提高企业积极性和发展中介组织等方面共同努力.     

基于潜类别随机前沿的区域创新效率及其影响因素分析

运用可根据研究对象的潜在属性内生分组的潜类别随机前沿模型,采用1999-2012年中国各省区数据,研究各省区的创新效率及影响因素。结果表明:以人力资本水平和基础设施状况为条件变量,将全国各省区分成两个技术类别,分别有各自的技术前沿和函数形式,A类别中上海市的创新效率最高,B类别中河北省的创新效率最高;平均来看,各类的创新效率均呈上升趋势,贸易开放、产业结构和金融发展对创新效率均有显著的正向作用,同时创新效率在各类内部均存在俱乐部收敛。     

Generalized empirical likelihood inference in partial linear regression model for longitudinal data

In this paper, empirical likelihood inference for longitudinal data within the framework of partial linear regression models are investigated. The proposed procedures take into consideration the correlation within groups without involving direct estimation of nuisance parameters in the correlation matrix. The empirical likelihood method is used to estimate the regression coefficients and the baseline function, and to construct confidence intervals. A nonparametric version of Wilk's theorem for the limiting distribution of the empirical likelihood ratio is derived. Compared with methods based on normal approximations, the empirical likelihood does not require consistent estimators for the asymptotic variance and bias. The finite sample behaviour of the proposed method is evaluated with simulation and illustrated with an AIDS clinical trial data set.     

At the frontier of imperial history: revisiting Edward Gait’s A History of Assam

Edward Gait’s A History of Assam was first published in 1906, later revised in 1926. The book has remained one of the most popular ‘textbooks’ in Assam, especially as the first modern historiography on the subject. This article looks at two broad issues in this regard. First, it looks at the contradictions that Gait was faced with in terms of his imperial ideology and interpreting the historical sources of an imperial frontier. Second, it tries to situate the relevance of the above point vis-à-vis some of the contemporary attempts at re-framing the region as an international borderland. In conclusion, the article looks at the reception of Gait and his appropriation into different discourses within Assam. A point explored is whether despite its contradictions, was Gait’s A History of Assam part of a wider, dynamic context of early twentieth century Assam, which made the book an important academic and political intervention of its times.     

Testing Treatment-Covariate Interaction in a Nonparametric Analysis of Covariance Model

We consider a recently introduced nonparametric model for Analysis of Covariance and derive an asymptotic test for interaction between covariate and treatment. Furthermore, we suggest data depth techniques to obtain joint confidence regions for the covariate effects in this model.

The finite sample behavior of the asymptotic method is evaluated in simulations. Application of the procedures is illustrated using an epileptic seizures and chemotherapy data set.
