创建服务型政府研究——以广州市深化行政审批制度改革为例

深化行政审批制度改革,对于加快转变政府职能,建设服务型政府,预防腐败,具有重要意义。近年来广州市加大行政审批制度改革的力度,削减一大批行政审批项目,取得了一定的成效。但行政审批制度改革仍有一些亟待解决的问题,需要我们不断地探索和完善。     

Bargaining and Reputation

The paper develops a reputation based theory of bargaining. The idea is to investigate and highlight the influence of bargaining ‘postures’ on bargaining outcomes. A complete information bargaining model a la Rubinstein is amended to accommodate ‘irrational types’ who are obstinate, and indeed for tractability assumed to be completely inflexible in their offers and demands. A strong ‘independence of procedures’ result is derived: after initial postures have been adopted, the bargaining outcome is independent of the fine details of the bargaining protocol so long as both players have the opportunity to make offers frequently. The latter analysis yields a unique continuous‐time limit with a war of attrition structure. In the continuous‐time game, equilibrium is unique, and entails delay, consequently inefficiency. The equilibrium outcome reflects the combined influence of the rates of time preference of the players and the ex ante probabilities of different irrational types. As the probability of irrationality goes to zero, delay and inefficiency disappear; furthermore, if there is a rich set of types for both agents, the limit equilibrium payoffs are inversely proportional to their rates of time preference.     

Responding to the call: a conceptual model for kinship care assessment

Kinship care has become an important care option worldwide. However, in many jurisdictions, child welfare services use traditional foster care assessment systems. The assessment of the kinship home poses particular challenges. The initial assessment of the kinship home, enabling emergency placements, provides a child‐centred perspective. However, agencies frequently fail to meet the designated time frame for completion of the assessment/approval process. Such failures require the development of different conceptual models for kinship care service delivery, especially for assessments. This paper builds on earlier work on assessment models, drawing on the international literature and the author's involvement and research on kinship care in Ireland. The usability of the proposed model needs to be evaluated across different legislative, policy and practice contexts internationally.     

试论参与型征地批准程序的建构

目前我国土地征收审批的审查主体、审查标准和内容等都存在严重的结构性缺陷。参与型征地批准程序是使被征地者参与征地审批,以弥补现行征地审批程序中"公共利益"界定模糊和权力监督乏力的缺陷。参与型征地批准程序必须在制度设计上重视主体参与的广度和深度,只有这样才能实现程序设计的目的。     

对中美排除非法证据若干程序的比较与评析

非法证据排除规则发源于美国法制,我国非法证据排除规则之立法亦深受美国法制的影响。从比较法视角,对中美两国有关排除非法证据的适用阶段、启动程序、证明责任与证明标准以及救济程序等程序性内容进行对比与评析,以期对我国非法证据排除程序的相关内容进行解读和反思,并探求我国语境下应然的非法证据排除规则,进而谋求对其改进与完善之道。     

论多元文化主义对政治文化认同的强化——以美国社会为例

多元文化主义的核心内涵是承认文化多样性所产生的差异,并承诺差异之间的平等性。政治文化认同是内化于心的、对文化和政治传统的固有信念与身份定位。多元文化主义常常被认为会削弱政治文化认同并造成社会的分裂与动荡。本文结合美国社会的经验,阐明由多元文化主义所培育出的宽容开放的政治文化氛围,非但不会成为凝聚人们爱国力量的障碍和阻力,反而会加强人们的认同感,尤其是对政治文化的认同。     

汉字简化的修辞学阐释

汉字简化问题一直都是文字学界关心的问题.从表达的角度看汉字简化,就可以看出汉字简化的背后隐藏着深刻的经世致用的修辞思想.因为汉字因表达需要而产生,又因表达需要而简化,而表达是修辞的母体,因此,简化字就是修辞学中适度原则在汉字简化中的具体表现.     

论道德适应的衍化逻辑

道德适应是一种道德流动的过程,其逻辑起点是我们对新的道德环境的需要与价值认同,是他者世界与道德发展之间的良性互动;道德适应的逻辑可能主要是从道德适应的形式之维与实质规定两方面加以展开,道德适应的形式主要细分为道德传播与道德涵化;道德适应的逻辑衍化以融合和分离的状态显现,最终分化为道德认同、道德学习、道德实践、道德内化四个阶段。     

On parallel policies for ranking and selection problems

In this paper we develop and test experimental methodologies for selection of the best alternative among a discrete number of available treatments. We consider a scenario where a researcher sequentially decides which treatments are assigned to experimental units. This problem is particularly challenging if a single measurement of the response to a treatment is time-consuming and there is a limited time for experimentation. This time can be decreased if it is possible to perform measurements in parallel. In this work we propose and discuss asynchronous extensions of two well-known Ranking & Selection policies, namely, Optimal Computing Budget Allocation (OCBA) and Knowledge Gradient (KG) policy. Our extensions (Asynchronous Optimal Computing Budget Allocation (AOCBA) and Asynchronous Knowledge Gradient (AKG), respectively) allow for parallel asynchronous allocation of measurements. Additionally, since the standard KG method is sequential (it can only allocate one experiment at a time) we propose a parallel synchronous extension of KG policy – Synchronous Knowledge Gradient (SKG). Computer simulations of our algorithms indicate that our parallel KG-based policies (AKG, SKG) outperform the standard OCBA method as well as AOCBA, if the number of evaluated alternatives is small or the computing/experimental budget is limited. For experimentations with large budgets and big sets of alternatives, both the OCBA and AOCBA policies are more efficient.
