兰姆及其所著《麦克马洪线》

本文对英国学者兰姆的生平和学术生涯做了一个较为详细的梳理,在此基础上介绍了其著作《麦克马洪线:1904-1914年印度、中国和西藏关系史研究》,认为这是一部研究中印关系,特别是中印边界问题的经典著作。深入的分析、缜密的考证,以及比较客观的叙述,展现出作者严谨的治学态度。与西方大多数学者不同的是,兰姆在书中用事实有力地驳斥了印度政府妄图继承英帝国遗产的观点,提出了许多值得参考的看法。同时,也指出了该书存在的不足之处。     

行业系统性风险的动态特征及其影响因素

现代经济主体间网络关联性越来越强,风险很容易在不同行业间扩散,因此有效识别并分析系统性风险是防范金融危机的关键步骤。基于条件风险价值(CoVaR)和边际期望损失(MES)两个指标,对巨潮行业指数系统性风险的静态和动态特征进行了研究。结果发现,各行业间系统性风险的相关性较强,动态特征显示2009年年初和2016年3月为系统性风险的两个峰值;从分行业来看,材料行业的系统性风险最高,而消费和医药行业的系统性风险最低。采用动态面板模型分析影响行业系统性风险的市场面因素发现,短期涨幅较高、长期涨幅较低及流动性较充分的行业,其系统性风险往往更低。因此,应加强对系统性风险较高行业的监管力度,建立好金融防火墙,防止外部金融风险的过度传染;同时应加强对各行业的实时监控,尤其是关注短期暴涨暴跌及流动性充分与否的监控。

Inference and Decision Making for 21st-Century Drug Development and Approval

ABSTRACT

The cost and time of pharmaceutical drug development continue to grow at rates that many say are unsustainable. These trends have enormous impact on what treatments get to patients, when they get them and how they are used. The statistical framework for supporting decisions in regulated clinical development of new medicines has followed a traditional path of frequentist methodology. Trials using hypothesis tests of “no treatment effect” are done routinely, and the p-value < 0.05 is often the determinant of what constitutes a “successful” trial. Many drugs fail in clinical development, adding to the cost of new medicines, and some evidence points blame at the deficiencies of the frequentist paradigm. An unknown number effective medicines may have been abandoned because trials were declared “unsuccessful” due to a p-value exceeding 0.05. Recently, the Bayesian paradigm has shown utility in the clinical drug development process for its probability-based inference. We argue for a Bayesian approach that employs data from other trials as a “prior” for Phase 3 trials so that synthesized evidence across trials can be utilized to compute probability statements that are valuable for understanding the magnitude of treatment effect. Such a Bayesian paradigm provides a promising framework for improving statistical inference and regulatory decision making.     

循环的“真”概念与真理修正理论探析

美国哲学家古普塔提出了"真理修正理论",试图修复克里普克建立在强克林三值逻辑基础上的不动点理论的缺点,进一步说明"真"概念在自然语言中的用法,从而成为解决语义悖论之语境迟钝进路的最重要代表。该理论的关键是承认"真"是一个循环概念,并依据循环定义提出修正规则,用修正规则来阐明"真"概念的实际使用。在分析真理修正理论所受到的批评与辩护的基础上,运用RZH解悖标准辨析可以表明,该理论进一步研究的焦点在于其作为一种解悖方案的"非特设性"哲学说明,特别是"真"作为一个循环概念这一前提的可接受性。

Ethical Numbers: Ethics Training in U.S. Graduate Statistics Programs, 2013–2014

As important members of research teams, statisticians bear an ethical responsibility to analyze, interpret, and report data honestly and objectively. One way of reinforcing ethical responsibilities is through required courses covering a variety of ethics-related topics at the graduate level. We assessed ethics requirements for graduate-level statistics training programs in the United States for the 2013–2014 academic year using the websites of 88 universities, examining 103 biostatistics programs, and 136 statistics degree programs. We categorized programs’ ethics training requirements as required or not required. Thirty-one (35.1%) universities required an ethics course for at least some degree students. Sixty-two (25.5%) degree programs required an ethics course for at least some students. The majority (77.4%) of required courses were worth 0 or 1 credit. Of the 177 programs without an ethics requirement, 19 (10.7%) listed an ethics elective. Although a single ethics course is insufficient for instilling an ethical approach to science, degree programs that model expectations through coursework point to the value of ethics in science. More training programs should prepare statisticians to consider the ethical dimensions of their work through required coursework. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

价值管理:会计的一场革命

由于会计环境的巨大变化 ,现有会计体系呈现出固有的缺陷 ,会计变革已迫在眉睫。传统会计是一个经济信息系统的观点 ,已束缚了会计学科的发展。价值管理已成为当今企业管理的核心内容。从价值管理角度诠释会计新概念 ,可以克服现有会计体系的固有缺陷 ,极大地扩展了会计学科的视野。新会计体系将包括价值信息管理(财务会计、管理会计和审计等 )、价值活动管理 (财务管理、内部控制制度等 )
