Bridging the gap between ecological research and land use policy: The North Sonoran Collaboration

A key factor in bridging the gap between ecological research and public land use policy is translating information from the language of research into the language of public policy making. Creating effective translations of research is often beyond the skills of urban planners and environmental researchers individually, and thus collaboration between the two is needed. Examples of such translation and partnerships can be found in the projects of an interdisciplinary group coined the North Sonoran Collaborative. This group consists of Phoenix, AZ, USA city staff, Arizona State University faculty, graduate students, and staff, and people from other local private companies and government agencies. The group, through its collaboration, has sponsored a series of environmental research efforts and translated those into successful land use planning activities and policies. The focus of the collaboration is the northern, largely undeveloped portion of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. This group has pursued three principles: desert ecosystems should be protected, a diversity of development should be pursued, and a sense of community should be created in new developments. This paper discusses this unique approach to planning and how it has proven effective in responding to the local communities needs quickly.

Bayesian point null hypothesis testing via the posterior likelihood ratio

This paper gives an exposition of the use of the posterior likelihood ratio for testing point null hypotheses in a fully Bayesian framework. Connections between the frequentist P-value and the posterior distribution of the likelihood ratio are used to interpret and calibrate P-values in a Bayesian context, and examples are given to show the use of simple posterior simulation methods to provide Bayesian tests of common hypotheses.

公共行政的价值沉淀:超越现代与后现代

传统公共行政是指19世纪社会工业化开始形成的以“韦伯官僚制”为典型特征的公共行政范式。这种范式以理性为中心,强调单一的权威中心和严格的等级制度。20世纪70年代以来,随着公共财政危机和保守主义的崛起,“新公共管理”运动掀起了公共行政的后现代转型。虽然这种转型对发展中国家没有十分典型的意义,但在全球化的今天,任何国家也不能忽视这些转变,而应该积极寻求应对。     

新农村建设重在农村公共物品的提供——以枧田村建设新农村为例

我国目前城乡经济发展上的极端不平衡,突出表现在广大农村公共物品的极度匮乏上。农村公共物品的提供,有利于启动农村的潜在的巨大的消费市场,消化我国目前过剩的工业生产能力。加快对农村公共物品的有效供给有利于缩小城乡差距,改变农村的落后面貌,进而打通农村劳动力向非农产业转移的渠道,增加农民收入。

Shortage of girls in China today

China has the most severe shortage of girls compared to boys of any country in the world today, as documented by China's surveys and censuses up to 2000. This article evaluates data on sex ratios in China since before the founding of the People's Republic, and shows that the relative dearth of girls has become more extreme during the last two decades, and that the problem is real and not merely due to undercounting of girls. Daughters are lost primarily through sex-selective abortion, secondly through excess female infant mortality, and thirdly through neglect or mistreatment of girls up to age three, in cities as well as rural areas. Until recently, the dearth of girls was confined to second or higher-order births, but now couples in some provinces are using sex-selective abortions for first births. Maps show the geographical concentration of life-threatening discrimination against girls and its spread over time. Son preference, low fertility and technology combine to cause the loss of daughters in China today and compulsory family planning and the one-child policy exacerbate the problem. The discussion includes what the People's Republic of China has done to ameliorate life-threatening discrimination against girls and what further steps might be taken to improve the situation.
