国际金融危机对江西承接东部产业转移的影响及对策

由美国次贷危机引发的席卷全球的金融危机,已由虚拟经济向实体经济蔓延。在国际金融危机影响下,我国东部沿海地区加快了产业转移的步伐,这为江西承接产业转移创造了新的契机;同时,国际金融危机也给江西承接东部产业转移带来一定的挑战。本文分析了国际金融危机对江西承接东部产业转移的机遇和挑战,并结合江西本地实际,提出了切实可行的对策:进一步改善投资环境;组织开展好市、县、开发区项目对接活动;发挥集聚效应引导产业相对集中;把承接产业转移与自身产业结构调整、产业升级紧密地结合在一起;重视劳动密集型产业转移等。     

US and euro area growth performances: Are they so different?

The Global Financial Crisis and the European Sovereign Debt Crisis plunged the euro area into a double-dip recession cementing the narrative of a struggling Economic and Monetary Union. However, if we look at a longer time horizon that narrative is not fully justified: since its creation, with the exception of the 2011–2014 period, Euro area's per-capita GDP has actually grown as fast as the US. The critical issue behind the different growth performance of the US and the euro area over the last 20 years is related to the Sovereign Debt Crisis and the inability of Euro area institutions to counter in a timely and effective manner economic recessions. Completing the EMU architecture and adopting an appropriate policy mix will be crucial to prevent contagion and bank-sovereign feedback loops from developing in the future and ensure that the euro area grows at its potential.     

The impact of the twin financial crises

We focus on the first 20 years of the Euro, from 1999 to 2019, and we split this period into two approximate decades to examine the performance of three benchmarks: the real GDP quarterly growth, the annualized real per capita GDP changes and unemployment. These illustrate that the underperformance of Europe is more evident during the second decade. Searching for causes we find that the Global Financial Crisis was an exogenous shock to the EU but its impact was large in both the U.S. and the EU. One major reason is that the U.S. responded quickly and aggressively both fiscally and via an unconventional monetary policy. The Euro area was constrained by a European Central Bank that focused on price stability, and fiscal policy was not much of an option. The second shock of the Sovereign Debt Crisis was endogenous to the Euro area and it, more than the Global Financial Crisis, revealed the original weaknesses and fragility of the European monetary union. This financial fragility quickly translated into declines in aggregate demand and economic underperformance.

Social impacts of the Global Financial Crisis on China and its policy initiatives

The Global Financial Crisis has brought eminent, negative economic and social impacts on China since late 2008, including a considerable decline in GDP growth and a rapid rise in unemployment. Drawing on the published literature and official statistical data, this paper examines the social consequences of the Global Financial Crisis in China, explores various policy initiatives taken by the Chinese government and assesses the effectiveness of these policy initiatives. It argues that the Global Financial Crisis has led to high levels of enterprise bankruptcy and job losses in China. Rural migrant workers and new university graduates are the two social groups most adversely affected. The economic stimulus package and expanded social programmes tend to be short term and economic oriented. Whether the policy initiatives have been effective in mitigating the social impacts of this crisis and correcting the structural imbalance of China's economy is unclear. The paper concludes by suggesting that a new policy approach should be taken to timely and effectively address the negative social impacts of the Global Financial Crisis on China, in particular by providing a more inclusive and comprehensive social safety net, prioritizing employment generation, and addressing housing deficits.

A programme evaluation of the Family Crisis Intervention Program (FCIP): relating programme characteristics to change

This study evaluated the Family Crisis Intervention Program (FCIP), focusing on crisis, child safety, family functioning and child behaviour problems. Questionnaires were completed by 183 families in crisis and their FCIP worker. After FCIP, the crisis had decreased and child safety had increased. Although problematic family functioning persisted after intervention, improvements were found in parent–child interaction, parenting stress, parental competence and child behaviour problems. Crisis change, safety change and improved family functioning were associated with programme characteristics, especially the therapeutic relationship, analysis of the crisis situation, duration of the intervention and the solution‐focused approach. The discussion addressed implications of this study with regard to outcome measures in the evaluation of family crisis intervention and the importance of particular programme characteristics.     

Modeling U.S. monetary policy during the global financial crisis and lessons for Covid-19

The paper formulates the modeling of unconventional monetary policy and critically evaluates its effectiveness to address the Global Financial Crisis. We begin with certain principles guiding general scientific modeling and focus on Milton Friedman's 1968 Presidential Address that delineates the strengths and limitations of monetary policy to pursue certain goals. The modeling of monetary policy with its novelty of quantitative easing to target unusually high unemployment is evaluated by a Markov switching econometric model using monthly data for the period 2002–2015. We conclude by relating the lessons learned from unconventional monetary policy during the Global Financial Crisis to the recent bold initiatives of the Fed to mitigate the economic and financial impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on U.S. households and businesses.     

CRISIS THEORY AND SOCIAL GROUP WORK

From a particular social group work perspective the con. cept of crisis has a different meaning than from the way it has been formulatedand used in social casework. Crisis is perceived as a variation of ongoing experience and an existential model of worker intervention replaces the medical model. The central themes of the paper are: (1) all living is struggle and all struggle is crisis; (2) crises are to be confronted, not eliminated: (3) all crises are group phenomena: (4) existentially, crises give expression to people's "here and now" being; (5) medical or psychological categories do not accurately describe crises for social workers and should be translated into "here and now" behavioral terms.     

Commentary on the paper by Ino and Glicken, “treating Asian American clients in crisis: A collectivist approach.”

Abstract

This was written in response to the article by Ino and Glicken titled “Treating Asian American Clients in Crisis: A Collectivist Approach.” Their paper presented six cases using the concept of a Collective Self in treating these clients in crisis situations. This commentary will elaborate on some of the significant differences between the Eastern cultures that have given rise to a Collective Self and the more individuated sense of Self that emerged in the West. Likewise, briefly discussed are the differing nature of the transference, countertransference, confidentiality and nature of the problem/solution.

Borders and the EU legitimacy problem: the 2015–16 European Refugee Crisis

The porous external border around the Schengen member states of the European Union (EU) became a colossal political problem in 2015 and 2016 as the migrant and Refugee Crisis unfolded. In Beetham’s seminal terminology, there was a crisis between the EU’s power and legitimacy on all three dimensions hereof: The Dublin regime was not followed, there was a gap between the beliefs of the governing and the subordinate peoples, and there were increasingly critical views among citizens and politicians alike (even from mainstream parties) against the inflow of refugees and migrants outside of the normal asylum system. The behaviour of the EU actors since then can be interpreted as an attempt at containing this crisis as regards Beetham’s legitimacy dimensions.

忠君与忠社稷关系辨——论明代土木之变中的士大夫政治价值观

在明代土木之变过程中,士大夫群体劝阻英宗亲征,拥立郕王即位,复又力主以礼奉迎英宗还朝,这些行为含有效忠君主之意向,然皆是以社稷利益为政治考量的基点.由此反映出士大夫这一政治角色确有忠君之内涵,然其旨归不限于对君主个人意愿的服从,更根本的诉求还是将君主纳入社稷,亦即国家管理体系与利益层面,从整体着眼,以是否有利于实现朝廷的稳定与百姓的福祉等政治诉求,作为判断何种行为取向更具有合理性的依据,这是士大夫的核心政治价值观.在土木之变过程中,先秦以来社稷为重,君为轻的政治理念被反复强调,并成为明代士大夫群体意识形态中较为活跃的一种倾向,这种倾向构成支撑明中期以后士风趋向张扬的重要资源.从此而后,明朝臣下的谏诤之风陡然而盛,士大夫之君臣共治天下的政治理念趋于清晰.
