Genetic distance,international experience and the performance of cross-border R&D for EMNEs

Cross-border R&D can contribute to the enhancement of independent innovation capabilities of emerging markets multinational enterprises (EMNEs) by benefiting from knowledge management. However, scant research exists examining the location impact of cross-border R&D for EMNEs on performance implications. This paper fills this important theoretical gap by building upon the literature of genetic distance in connection with knowledge management. We use a panel data of Chinese high-tech listed companies to empirically examine the impact of genetic distance on the performance of cross-border R&D and the role played by international experience. Our results reveal a positive relationship between genetic distance and the performance of cross-border R&D. Importantly, we highlight the motivation for cross-border R&D of EMNEs to acquire technical knowledge magnifies the positive effects of genetic distance and performance. Furthermore, our analysis indicates that international experience significantly enhanced the positive effect of genetic distance on cross-border R&D performance. We conclude this paper by discussing theoretical contributions to genetic distance, international management and knowledge management, as well as practical implications for cross-border R&D of EMNEs.

大数据背景下网络调查样本的建模推断问题研究——以广义Boosted模型的倾向得分推断为例

随着大数据和网络的不断发展，网络调查越来越广泛，大部分网络调查样本属于非概率样本，难以采用传统的抽样推断理论进行推断，如何解决网络调查样本的推断问题是大数据背景下网络调查发展的迫切需求。本文首次从建模的角度提出了解决该问题的基本思路：一是入样概率的建模推断，可以考虑构建基于机器学习与变量选择的倾向得分模型来估计入样概率推断总体；二是目标变量的建模推断，可以考虑直接对目标变量建立参数、非参数或半参数超总体模型进行估计；三是入样概率与目标变量的双重建模推断，可以考虑进行倾向得分模型与超总体模型的加权估计与混合推断。最后，以基于广义Boosted模型的入样概率建模推断为例演示了具体解决方法。     

乡村振兴视角下西部民族地区“五个认同”教育研究

乡村振兴是新时代补齐“三农”领域主要短板和建立相对贫困长效治理机制的国家战略。“五个认同”是西部民族地区各族群众战胜乡村振兴困难的力量之基,是有效推动高质量乡村振兴的动力之源。从认同形成和经济社会可持续发展讲,西部民族地区乡村振兴应加强“五个认同”教育;从广义教育的复杂性和系统性出发,以及基于乡村广义教育的功能现状分析西部民族地区“五个认同”教育的难点问题,旨在提高乡村振兴视角下认同教育的有效性,提出西部民族地区“五个认同”教育的实践路径。     

增进学生身心健康是我国学校体育发展的根本和方向——学习贯彻习近平总书记在全国教育大会上的重要讲话精神

2018年9月10日，习近平总书记在全国教育大会上强调：“要树立健康第一的教育理念，开齐开足体育课，帮助学生在体育锻炼中享受乐趣、增强体质、健全人格、锤炼意志。”这为我国未来学校体育的发展指明了方向。学校体育要认真贯彻落实习近平总书记的重要讲话精神，把增进学生的身心健康作为学校体育工作的出发点和落脚点，切实提高学生的身心健康水平，促进学生全面发展。本文首先阐述了习近平总书记重要讲话精神的核心要义，以及所体现的以人为本的思想、高度重视把学生的健康放在首位、非常关注学生的身心协调发展等。其次，就如何落实习近平总书记的重要讲话精神提出了建设性意见：必须开齐开足体育课，保证校内外锻炼时间；提高体育课和课外体育活动的教育教学质量，加强学生的运动效果；“五育”并重，将学校体育纳入学校教育质量评价的重要组成部分；体育教师应树立强烈的社会责任感和使命感等措施和建议。
