Spatial Differentiation and Driving Forces of Migrants’ Socio-Economic Integration in Urban China: Evidence from CMDS

Migrants’ socio-economic integration is a major theme in migration research, which can provide economic and cultural benefits. And it will contribute to social stability. The investigation from the spatial perspective should also be considered. This paper aims to examine the spatial differentiation of the socio-economic integration of migrants and identify its driving forces to provide crucial evidence and policy recommendations to urban policymakers and further improve migrants’ socio-economic integration. Based on the latest China Migrants Dynamic Survey, this paper uses global Moran’s I index, hot spot analysis and GWR model to explore spatial differentiation and driving forces of the socio-economic integration of 155,789 migrants in 291 cities at prefecture level and above in China. The results show that: (1) The socio-economic integration of migrants consists of five dimensions, which are economic integration, cultural integration, social security, social relation and psychological integration. Among them, psychological integration is the highest (73.16) and economic integration is the lowest (13.38). (2) The socio-economic integration of migrants is mainly influenced by their own characteristics instead of the destination characteristics. Four factors (age, education, length of stay and population growth rate) positively affect migrants’ socio-economic integration, while three factors (inter-provincial mobility, proportion of tertiary industry in GDP, and ratio of teacher to student in middle school) negatively impact the socio-economic integration of migrants. (3) The socio-economic integration of migrants shows the distribution pattern of agglomeration. And the integration also presents a significant spatial heterogeneity. The driving forces of the socio-economic integration exhibit various zonal spatial differentiation patterns, including “E–W”, “SE–NW”, “NE–SW”, and “S–N”. Finally, some useful recommendations are given for improving migrants’ socio-economic integration.

     

滇藏缅印交角区泰-傣诸族群的迁徙流动及族际关系研究述论

关于泰-傣诸族群的问题，国内外学者已有了百余年的研究，主要侧重于环东南沿海直至与云南、东南亚相连接区域，且国别区隔明显。对于滇藏缅印交角地区泰-傣诸族群的研究，尚未得见系统、整体性的成果面世。本文拟围绕涉及该交角区泰-傣诸族群的族源、迁徙流动及族际关系等三个方面的零散研究进行梳理并加以评述，以期从整体联动性的视野对泰-傣诸族群在滇藏缅印交角区的研究空间做进一步深入拓展，同时，针对后续研究提出建议：族源问题有待进一步廓清；以地缘政治及文明交汇区域为整体历史背景的长时段探究有待开启；相关文献资料的搜集、翻译和整理有待深化；小尺度地域空间的微观研究有待推进；开展多学科交叉的综合研究。

基于价值链的中国企业社会责任对财务价值的影响

为了支持企业持续地将履行社会责任作为一种长期的战略,探讨企业社会责任与业务相结合对财务绩效的影响以及如何选择既造福社会又有利于商业的社会责任项目.基于价值链视角,采用利益相关者理论和归因理论,用实证方法,选择中国公司社会责任披露的数据,采用因子分析法划分企业社会责任活动,采用面板数据回归分析每种社会责任活动及其交互作用对企业财务绩效的影响.研究结果表明,把社会责任活动分为与价值链基本活动相关的社会责任、与价值链支持活动相关的社会责任和一般性社会责任(与价值链活动无关),与价值链基本活动相关的社会责任和与价值链支持活动相关的社会责任对财务绩效有积极影响,与价值链活动无关的一般性社会责任对财务绩效有消极影响,他们的交互作用对财务绩效也有方向不同的显著影响,即基本活动与支持活动的交互作用对财务绩效有积极影响,基本活动与一般性活动的交互作用对财务绩效有积极影响,而支持活动与一般性活动的交互作用对财务绩效有消极影响.研究结果对企业将履行社会责任与价值创造相结合、实现社会效益和经济效益双赢提供具体的参考.     

Convergence rate of wavelet density estimator with data missing randomly when covariables are present

In this article, we study global L₂ error of non linear wavelet estimator of density in the Besov space B^s_pq for missing data model when covariables are present and prove that the estimator can achieve the optimal rate of convergence, which is similar to the result studied by Donoho et al. (1996) Donoho, D.L., Johnstone, I.M., Kerkyacharian, G., Picard, D. (1996). Density estimation by wavelet thresholding. Ann. Stat. 24:508–539.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar] in complete independent data case with term-by-term thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients. Finite-sample behavior of the proposed estimator is explored via simulations.

Bayesian nonparametric modelling of the link function in the single-index model using a Bernstein–Dirichlet process prior

This paper proposes the use of the Bernstein–Dirichlet process prior for a new nonparametric approach to estimating the link function in the single-index model (SIM). The Bernstein–Dirichlet process prior has so far mainly been used for nonparametric density estimation. Here we modify this approach to allow for an approximation of the unknown link function. Instead of the usual Gaussian distribution, the error term is assumed to be asymmetric Laplace distributed which increases the flexibility and robustness of the SIM. To automatically identify truly active predictors, spike-and-slab priors are used for Bayesian variable selection. Posterior computations are performed via a Metropolis-Hastings-within-Gibbs sampler using a truncation-based algorithm for stick-breaking priors. We compare the efficiency of the proposed approach with well-established techniques in an extensive simulation study and illustrate its practical performance by an application to nonparametric modelling of the power consumption in a sewage treatment plant.     

Tests for homogeneity of risk differences in stratified design with correlated bilateral data

ABSTRACT

Correlated bilateral data arise from stratified studies involving paired body organs in a subject. When it is desirable to conduct inference on the scale of risk difference, one needs first to assess the assumption of homogeneity in risk differences across strata. For testing homogeneity of risk differences, we herein propose eight methods derived respectively from weighted-least-squares (WLS), the Mantel-Haenszel (MH) estimator, the WLS method in combination with inverse hyperbolic tangent transformation, and the test statistics based on their log-transformation, the modified Score test statistic and Likelihood ratio test statistic. Simulation results showed that four of the tests perform well in general, with the tests based on the WLS method and inverse hyperbolic tangent transformation always performing satisfactorily even under small sample size designs. The methods are illustrated with a dataset.     

Dividend barrier and ruin problems for a risk model with delayed claims

In this paper, a compound Poisson risk model in the presence of a constant dividend barrier is considered. Two types of individual claims, main claims and by-claims, are defined, where every by-claim is induced by the main claim and and the time of delay for the claim is assumed to be random. A system of integro-differential equations with certain boundary conditions for the expected discounted penalty function is derived. We show that its solution can be expressed as the solution to the expected discounted penalty function in the same risk model with the absence of a barrier plus a linear combination of two linearly independent solutions to the associated homogeneous integro-differential equation. Using systems of integro-differential equations for the moment-generating function as well as for the arbitrary moments of the sum of discounted dividend payments until ruin, a matrix version of the dividends–penalty type relationship is derived. We also prove that ruin is certain under constant dividend barrier strategy. The closed form expressions are given when the claim amounts from both classes are exponentially distributed. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the solution procedure.     

四川盆地雷口坡组层序岩相古地理

针对四川盆地各矿区雷口坡组地层划分方案不统一，且受早印支运动的影响，雷口坡组顶部岩溶带地层垮塌破坏，造成地层内幕划分及岩相古地理恢复困难的难题，以层序地层学理论与方法为指导，重新厘定了盆地内雷口坡组的地层划分方案，以四级层序为作图单元进行层序岩相古地理重建。高精度的层序岩相古地理研究表明，雷口坡期四川盆地处于局限–蒸发海环境，在川西北一带靠近松潘—甘孜海槽一带发育有台地边缘，台地内部颗粒滩和台地边缘颗粒滩构成了雷口坡组的勘探主体。岩相古地理的演化表明，雷口坡组沉积时期盆地底形发生了东倾向西倾“跷跷板”式的转换，在层序I 早期仍保持了早三叠世西高东低的地形格局，至层序III 沉积期东倾趋势消失，层序IVV 沉积时期盆地内隆凹格局略具雏形。伴随着构造挤压运动的加剧，从层序VI 开始盆地底形隆凹格局分异加剧，形成巨厚膏盐盆，膏盐盆沉积中心在层序VIX 沉积时期具有明显西移的趋势。
