有关《ONE DAY IN 2004》

“红领巾、白衬衣是50年代、抑惑是70年代的象征。”在《SDANJIE》里，我曾如是说。实际上，今日中国它仍是一个鲜明的符号。红领巾是段记忆，是一个年龄段的标志，个人与集体关系的确认、疑惑与追问……对我而言，白衬衣永远那么白，梦里它也那么白，构成了对不那么白的压力。历史的色彩在淡化、人在生长、记忆变得不可信。     

IMPROVING LIFE FOR WOMEN

I noticed a photo in the exhibition room of village history in North Yangjiawa,Liyuan Township, Tongxian County, Beijing. It was the epitome of the typical northern countryside:shabby houses, bumpy dirt roads and heaps of garbage. I didn't feel strange about it, as I had once lived in such a village fur more than 1,000 days and nights during the Cultural Revolution when educated urban youths were encouraged tn work in the countryside and mountains. What astonished me was the words under this photo: North Yangjiawa in 1993. I couldn't imagine how this tremendous change could happen in only three years.     

ONE UNDER GOD? RELIGIOUS ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND PIONEER LATINO IMMIGRANTS IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANA

Studies of immigrants and religion tend to focus on established communities, organized as de facto congregations. In the early days of the development of an ethnic community, however, the provision of religious needs is more likely to come from existing local congregations. Using the model of religious economies, I analyze the case of a Baptist mission ministering to Latino immigrants in a rural southern Louisiana town. The pioneer immigrants constitute a change in religious demand, an area not considered by the economic model. They constitute a market niche for local religious entrepreneurs. Given the characteristics of this new community, however, a modified version of the de facto congregation will emerge, where professional clergy is not involved. Relying on participant observation and interviews with the parties involved, I describe the challenges that pioneer immigrant present for a religious entrepreneur.     

DO REEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS FOR THE UNEMPLOYED WORK FOR YOUTH? EVIDENCE FROM THE GREAT RECESSION IN THE UNITED STATES

We present experimental evidence on the effects of four U.S. reemployment programs for youth unemployment insurance (UI) recipients during the Great Recession. The three programs that emphasized monitoring and service referrals reduced UI receipt but had minimal effects on employment and earnings; these programs mainly induced the early exit of participants. The fourth program, which combined mandatory job counseling with monitoring, caused the largest reductions in UI receipt and clearly increased employment and earnings. Both early participant exits and effective job counseling underlie these impacts. We conclude that policymakers should require job counseling for youth UI recipients during recessions.

LOOKING FOR “MR. RIGHT”: THE VIABILITY OF MARRIAGE INITIATIVES FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN IN RURAL SETTINGS

Newly-funded initiatives aim to promote marriage among low-income African American women to reduce poverty and welfare dependency. Research indicates that these women have a strong desire to marry, but lack economically secure marriage partners. This research predominantly focuses on urban populations, and little is known about marriage as a strategy to end poverty and welfare dependency among the rural poor. Two case study counties in rural Mississippi were selected to examine if marriage promotion initiatives are a viable strategy for poor rural African American single mothers. Data were collected through semistructured interviews using a life history calendar procedure. The results show that, like their urban counterparts, poor rural single mothers are rarely able to find their “Mr. Right” because of their personal and contextual characteristics.     

YOUR RIGHT ARM FOR A PUBLICATION IN AER?

The time tradeoff (TTO) method is popular in medical decision making for valuing health states. We use it to elicit economists' preferences for publishing in top economic journals and for living without limbs. The economists value journal publications highly and have a clear preference among them, with the American Economic Review (AER) the most preferred. Their responses imply they would sacrifice more than half a thumb for an AER publication. These TTO results are consistent with ranking and willingness to pay results, and indicate that journal preferences are not entirely determined by impact factors or by expectations of a salary increase following a publication in a prestigious journal. (JEL A10, B41, I10)     

SHOULD WE TAKE DON'T KNOW FOR AN ANSWER?

Much attention has been given to the problem of non-attitudes,that is, people expressing opinions while lacking an underlyingattitude (false positives). In comparison, the potential problemof false negatives, people with an attitude who decline to expressan opinion, has been neglected. Using a survey on nuclear powerfrom Sweden, we examine whether people who answer "don't know"but are induced subsequently to give an opinion really haveattitudes. The attitudes these people express on follow-up questionspredict behavior to a significant extent. This implies thatthe usual don't know category includes some false negatives,that is, people who really have attitudes but refrain, at leastinitially, from expressing them.     

SHANGHAI WARD FOR WEIGHT LOSS USES TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE

A weight-loss clinic which uses traditional Chinese medicine was set up at the Xiangshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai. In addition to doing exercises, patients receive a treatment of rhubarb that is applied externally or taken orally to lose weight.     

DOES OPTION THEORY HOLD FOR MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL CONTRACTS?

We test whether option theory indicated by the Black–Scholes formula is consistent with contract negotiations between teams and players in Major League Baseball (MLB). Teams use contract options in order to obtain the right to buy a player's services for an extra year when negotiating multiple year contracts. These options are similar to European call options, and should reduce the risk of buying volatile assets (players with high variation in performance). In this paper, we model the decision to buy an option (include an option year in the contract) and whether to exercise the option (pay the option salary in the option year versus buying out the option). The results indicate that the behavior of MLB teams is consistent with standard option theory both in terms of buying and exercising options. The sample is the complete population of free agent hitters who signed new contracts between the years 2003 and 2011. We were unable to find any published literature that has addressed this issue. (JEL ZO, H3)     

AFDC AND WORK: MAGNETS OR ANCHORS FOR THE POOR?

Literature analyzing the linkage between welfare and interstate migration is divided. Lack of consistent findings partially depends on sample used and time period when studies are done. Choice of analytical modeling technique has also led to divergent findings. This paper addresses these issues by comparing the effects of welfare and work on poor/nonpoor migration patterns using contemporary structural and household data. Findings offer no support for the welfare magnet hypothesis. Effects of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) differ by poverty status at the place of destination for 1985 and 1990. Householders are migrating to states with lower AFDC benefits. Effects of work also differ by poverty status. For 1985, householders are moving to states with lower unemployment rates. For 1990, householders are moving to states with lower wages. In general, householders remain in states with lower AFDC benefits giving more credence to an anchor effect of higher welfare benefits.     

DO WE REALLY UNDERSTAND? AN EXPERIENTIAL EXERCISE FOR TRAINING FAMILY THERAPISTS

This paper presents an experiential exercise for training beginning marriage and family therapists, as well as several adaptations of the format. The basic exercise consists of role playing a therapy session in which the people playing the clients speak a language that is not understood by the therapist-in-training. Although the therapist cannot understand the clients, the clients can understand the therapist. This exercise assists students to become more cognizant of the need to be cautious and curious in the cocreation of meaning in therapy. In addition, this exercise builds confidence and clinical skills, such as learning about nonverbal communication while observing process.
