Land markets and migration trends in Tanzania: A qualitative‐quantitative analysis

While migration has been found to enhance welfare across a range of settings, most of the literature focuses on rural‐to‐urban migrant flows. Using a unique dataset from north‐western Tanzania, this article probes an important, yet overlooked, link between land markets and rural‐to‐rural migration. A mixed‐methods approach is used to discern how these two forces are intertwined in village life. Results indicate that household decisions to migrate are particularly influenced by the ease of market‐based land access in their new communities. This suggests that labour mobility may be facilitated through the development of a well‐functioning land market.     

Gender Differences in Union Formation in Mexico: Evidence From Marital Search Models

Although increasingly appreciated for their explanatory power in developed societies, marital search models have yet to be widely applied to developing nations. This article evaluates the applicability of marital search models to marriage timing in Mexico. The analysis compares separate models of union formation for men and women that include individual and marriage market predictors. Results show that union formation is closely linked to the uncertainties surrounding the transition to adulthood and the availability of marriageable partners. Improvements in women's economic position do not diminish the attractiveness of marriage, as female independence arguments would suggest. Instead, they are a central force behind the stability of marriage behavior in Mexico. A central transformation identified in the analysis is the reduction in sex differences in age at marriage as women expand their education and labor force participation.     

从“中间制度消失论”看我国汇率制度的取向

简述了汇率制度的作用及涵义,论述了"中间制度消失论"的基本思想及发展过程,分析了汇率稳定、货币政策独立和金融市场国际化三者之间的关系,探讨了"亚洲金融危机"中东亚五国汇率制度的安排,并对比了各种汇率制度在抵御金融危机中的能力。在此基础上指出:在金融全球化的今天,各国可供选择的汇率制度只有完全自由的浮动汇率制度和"硬"的钉住汇率制度,强调我国现有的汇率制度已不适应未来经济发展的需要,提出了我国汇率制度的取向和应采取的对策。     

股票股利变化市场反应的实证研究

对公司分配方案中股票股利发生变化时股票收益率的研究,显示证券市场对股票股利分配方案发生变化时有一定反应,但与国外成熟资本市场的反应并不一致,说明我国证券市场距离国外成熟资本市场还有一定差距,证券市场信息披露制度尚不规范。     

中国股票市场效率的实证研究

处于二元转型期的中国股票市场,功能定位不完全合理,结构性矛盾突出。行政导向性强,是一个不完全市场。市 场仍处于非弱效率状态。利用1999-2000年中国股票市场的时间序列数据进行的自相关系数检验和游程检验.证实了中国 股票市场非弱有效性的判断。     

“倾斜”“反哺”“预警”——解决中部地区“三农”问题的对策

面对我国板块构造式区域经济发展格局中"中部塌陷"的现实,作为我国粮食主产区的中部地区应采取"倾斜""反哺""预警"三大对策来解决"三农"问题.倾斜对策是针对农村发展的,主要措施是权力向县级组织倾斜,资源向县城及农产品加工园区倾斜,政策向农村基础设施建设和农业产业化发展倾斜;反哺是针对农业发展的,措施是沿海工业发达地区反哺中部粮食主产区;预警是保护农民利益的,措施是实施农民利益预警调控.     

信息不对称与中小企业信贷支持——兼析中小企业信贷市场中的政府作用

通过建立一个银行对中小企业信贷的博弈模型 ,说明当市场上低风险企业过少 ,高风险企业过多时 ,银行不能通过贷款收益收回自己的风险类型鉴别成本。在不可能提高投资项目自有资本比例 ,而利率放开有待时日 ,极易加剧道德风险的情况下 ,银行无法改善其收益小于成本的处境。因此 ,从中小企业信贷市场退出是银行的最优选择。最终指出 ,为了促进中小企业的发展 ,建立一个由国家提供部分担保、商业性银行发放贷款的中小企业信贷体系对支持中小企业发展、健全完善的金融体系是可能的 ,也是必要的。

集群化是战略性新兴产业发展的重要模式和主要路径.针对我国战略性新兴产业集群发展中面临的产业技术储备不足与市场培育相对滞后并存的问题,从产业集群、战略性新兴产业集群、产业集群协同发展等理论以及与生态学融合发展视角,综述了战略性新兴产业集群协同发展的相关理论基础,探寻现有理论研究的一般规律以及存在的“缺口”,并分析了下一步研究可以拓展的方向,即结合我国战略性新兴产业集群协同发展的特点,将生态位理论嫁接、融合到产业集群理论中,重点剖析战略性新兴产业集群发展中的“技术生态位—市场生态位”协同跃迁的作用机理,由此提出相关的机制、政策等.     

Socio‐economic stratification of English in globalized landscapes: A market‐oriented perspective

Globalization has dramatically altered the urban societies of Amsterdam and Brussels over recent decades, with intensified socio‐economic inequality, unprecedented levels of multilingualism and the increasing importance of English. In this paper, I examine the use of English in the linguistic landscape of socio‐economically stratified commercial shopping streets in these two second‐tier global cities. I adopt a market‐oriented, contextualized approach to quantitative and qualitative variability in how English emerges in these particular commercial ‘linguistic markets’. McDonaldization in midscale shopping streets occurs alongside downscale and upscale uses of English which are more susceptible to local commercial dynamics, in particular in Brussels. As such, global English in these single city contexts emerges as a heterogeneous and scaled phenomenon shaped by specific local commercial and linguistic market conditions.
