SPECIAL ISSUE： DIALOGUE,INTERACTION AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN PHILOSOPHY IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA- SPECIALIST FORUM ON CHINESE,WESTERN AND MARXIST PHILOSOPHIES：Issues of the age and possible responses in configuring contemporary Chinese philosophy

当代中国哲学形态的建构可在以下三个问题上作出努力：为不同的社会人群提供可供选择的多元价值目标;重构中国人的价值秩序;为当代中国人的伦理行为与法律制度提供新的人性论基础。中、西、马哲学必须突破学科分割局面,以当代中国社会现实及其发展趋势为自己的共同思考平台,动用各自的思想资源,构建符合当代中国人需要、并能指导其实践的人生哲学和当代中国发展需要的社会哲学。     

改革开放是发展中国特色社会主义的强大动力

一部改革开放的实践发展史,也是一部马克思主义中国化的理论探索史。深刻的思想解放运动带动了中国特色社会主义实践和理论的伟大飞跃。30年改革开放的伟大实践积累了十分宝贵的历史经验,奠定了中国特色社会主义理论体系的实践基础和科学依据。改革开放是发展中国特色社会主义的强大动力。坚持解放思想、实事求是和生产力标准的观点,坚持科学发展观和正确改革观也就是坚持中国特色社会主义理论体系。进一步改革开放,发展中国特色社会主义,最重要的是坚持中国特色社会主义理论体系的指导。     

Continuous Utility Functions Through Scales

We present here a direct elementary construction of continuous utility functions on perfectly separable totally preordered sets that does not make use of the well-known Debreu’s open gap lemma. This new construction leans on the concept of a separating countable decreasing scale. Starting from a perfectly separable totally ordered structure, we give an explicit construction of a separating countable decreasing scale, from which we show how to get a continuous utility map.      

从尼采到德里达:不断破解与不断建构--解读西方现代文艺美学的发展历程

如何理解西方现代文艺美学的历史发展过程?怎样才能更好地吸取西方的理论精华?这对于中国现代文艺美学理论研究和建设,无疑具有重要意义。本文试图通过对于一些重要理论家,诸如尼采、荣格、萨特、福柯、德里达等人的理论分析与评价,触摸到西方现代文艺美学发展的内在脉搏及其特点。本文认为,不断破解旧的思想模式与不断建构新的理论平台,是西方现代文艺美学不断获得生机和活力的重要原因。     

The cost of children: May the collective approach to household behavior help?

The collective approach to household consumption behavior tries to infer from variables supposed to affect the general bargaining position of household members information on the allocation of consumptions goods and tasks among them. This paper investigates the extension of previous work to the case where children may be considered as a public consumption good by the two adult members of a household. The main question being asked is whether it is possible to retrieve from the aggregate consumption behaviour of the household and the relative earnings of the parents information on the allocation of goods between them and children. This alternative approach to the estimation of the ‘cost of children’ is contrasted with the conventional approach based on a ‘unitary’ representation of and demographic separability assumptions on household consumption behaviour.

Signed compound poisson integer-valued GARCH processes

Abstract

We propose signed compound Poisson integer-valued GARCH processes for the modeling of the difference of count time series data. We investigate the theoretical properties of these processes and we state their ergodicity and stationarity under mild conditions. We discuss the conditional maximum likelihood estimator when the series appearing in the difference are INGARCH with geometric distribution and explore its finite sample properties in a simulation study. Two real data examples illustrate this methodology.

Management of accounting: The case for an active role

Regulations imposed upon both the external and internal accounting reports of enterprises may evoke a variety of responses from managers ranging from the active to the passive. This paper explores the active, participatory role which managers may choose to adopt in influencing the direction of accounting regulations. Reference is made to a large number of cases arising in Europe and elsewhere which illustrate how managers have provided benefits to their businesses by actively lobbying for constructive changes in the accounting environment.     

Women's paid work and the timing of births

It has been suggested that work-motivated women may shorten their birth intervals to allow a faster return to the workforce. This paper: (i) considers the circumstances under which such contraction would be expected; (ii) argues that British conditions in the 1940s to 1970s were favourable to the adoption of this strategy, among others; (iii) discusses some methodological issues arising in the empirical treatment of the question; and (iv) presents the results of analyses of work and maternity history information, which suggest that during the post-war period, labour-force participation was associated with both a contraction and a lengthening of birth intervals.
