完善我国合同法应借鉴《国际商事合同通则》

1999年10月1日后正式实施的《中华人民共和国合同法》已经借鉴了当今发达国家先进的合同法立法经验和国际惯例,但与其它国家和有关国际公约的立法相比较,若干条文和规定仍然是粗线条的。文章以《国际商事合同通则》为例与我国合同法对比,探讨了我国合同立法在合同的成立、合同效力问题、精神损害赔偿、“意外条款”的效力、合同的解释等方面的一些缺陷,以期对我国合同法的完善有所借鉴。     

GMM tests for the Katz family of distributions

Generalized method of moments (GMM) is used to develop tests for discriminating discrete distributions among the two-parameter family of Katz distributions. Relationships involving moments are exploited to obtain identifying and over-identifying restrictions. The asymptotic relative efficiencies of tests based on GMM are analyzed using the local power approach and the approximate Bahadur efficiency. The paper also gives results of Monte Carlo experiments designed to check the validity of the theoretical findings and to shed light on the small sample properties of the proposed tests. Extensions of the results to compound Poisson alternative hypotheses are discussed.     

现代社会中清真寺功能的人类学解读

清真寺是伊斯兰文化的具体体现与象征,伊斯兰精神正是以清真寺为媒介渗入到穆斯林心中的。在现代社会,清真寺在穆斯林生活中依然起着重要的作用,尤其在与社会的互动中,发挥了积极的作用,如巩固穆斯林的宗教信仰、协调内外部关系、提供族群认同的场景、政治引导等。更为重要的是,在打击毒品犯罪这样一个社会难题上清真寺发挥了积极的作用,并卓有成效。     

论文学理论中命名的意义和合法性

命名是文学理论阐释过程的一个重要环节,也是文学理论工作者必须正确认识和认真把握的一项内容。命名不仅要具有认知功能,还要具有价值功能,并在此基础上寻求自身的合法性。     

A Note on the Role of the Propensity Score for Estimating Average Treatment Effects

Hahn [Hahn, J. (1998). On the role of the propensity score in efficient semiparametric estimation of average treatment effects. Econometrica 66:315-331] derived the semiparametric efficiency bounds for estimating the average treatment effect (ATE) and the average treatment effect on the treated (ATET). The variance of ATET depends on whether the propensity score is known or unknown. Hahn attributes this to “dimension reduction.” In this paper, an alternative explanation is given: Knowledge of the propensity score improves upon the estimation of the distribution of the confounding variables.     

语调变体解构

正确把握语调变体是言语交际成败的关键;口语中不同语调的使用表述了说话人不同的思想感情和态度.也正是这种语用语调的变异导致了语义理解和思想表达的细微差别,差之毫厘,谬以千里.本文从语调功能,常规语调运用及语调变体三个角度,以翔实的例句分析,对英语语调变体进行解构.     

英语写作中有效反馈信息的探讨

文章简要阐述了反馈信息,论述了作文工作研究的意义及在作文写作中有效的信息反馈形式,提出了增强写作能力的可行措施。     

诉讼中的对抗与合作

诉讼对抗是诉讼的结构性因素，诉讼当事人的双方被置于相互对立、相互抗争的地位上并展开攻击和防御活动，以发现案件真实。对抗的弊端是：过度对抗引起诉讼拖延，对抗加大了诉讼成本，对抗发现真实功能的发挥越来越有限。近年来，诉讼合作迅速兴起，有利于兼顾当事人各方的利益，提高诉讼效率，节约诉讼成本，促进和谐社会的形成。坚持诉讼对抗与诉讼合作并重，是我国司法改革的方向。     

论政府的经济职能

政府的经济职能随经济社会发展而变化,不同时期不同经济体制下政府的经济职能不同,本文论述了政府经济职能的演变过程,分析了市场经济发达国家与我国政府经济职能的差异性,最后从理论上阐明了当前我国政府在经济发展、环境保护中应发挥的经济职能。     

Quadratic estimators of covariance components in a multivariate mixed linear model

It is known that the Henderson Method III (Biometrics 9:226–252, 1953) is of special interest for the mixed linear models because the estimators of the variance components are unaffected by the parameters of the fixed factor (or factors). This article deals with generalizations and minor extensions of the results obtained for the univariate linear models. A MANOVA mixed model is presented in a convenient form and the covariance components estimators are given on finite dimensional linear spaces. The results use both the usual parametric representations and the coordinate-free approach of Kruskal (Ann Math Statist 39:70–75, 1968) and Eaton (Ann Math Statist 41:528–538, 1970). The normal equations are generalized and it is given a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of quadratic unbiased estimators for covariance components in the considered model.
