A “brer rabbit” case for reverse mandated benefits

Reverse mandated benefits is a government-mandated policy that requires employees to provide their employers with benefits that workers would not provide otherwise. Of course, only those benefits would be mandated that are worth more to employers than they cost, as determined by political authorities. My case for such a policy argues that it is at least as sensible as policies mandating that employers provide benefits to their employees that would not be provided otherwise.     

Intertemporal choice under timing risk: An experimental approach

This paper investigates how individuals evaluate delayed outcomes with risky realization times. Under the discounted expected utility (DEU) model, such evaluations depend only on intertemporal preferences. We obtain several testable hypotheses using the DEU model as a benchmark and test these hypotheses in three experiments. In general, our results show that the DEU model is a poor predictor of intertemporal choice behavior under timing risk. We found that individuals are averse to timing risk and that they evaluate timing lotteries in a rank-dependent fashion. The main driver of timing risk aversion is nothing but probabilistic risk aversion that stems from the nonlinear treatment of probabilities.

Beheimatungsprozesse begleiten — ein Werkstattbericht

Supporting processes of belonging in supervision and coachingThe contemporary employee has to cope with frequent changes. Not only does he lose his familiar environment, he also has to find ways to familiarize himself with new places and to develop a fresh sense of belonging. This process can be understood and facilitated by interpreting the German concept of “Heimat“ as something we have to create ourselves. First experiences demonstrate the usefulness of this approach in coaching processes.     

Expected sample moments of concomitants of selected order statistics

In this paper, the task of determining expected values of sample moments, where the sample members have been selected based on noisy information, is considered. This task is a recurring problem in the theory of evolution strategies. Exact expressions for expected values of sums of products of concomitants of selected order statistics are derived. Then, using Edgeworth and Cornish-Fisher approximations, explicit results that depend on coefficients that can be determined numerically are obtained. While the results are exact only for normal populations, it is shown experimentally that including skewness and kurtosis in the calculations can yield greatly improved results for other distributions.     

Age patterns of marital fertility: revising the Coale-Trussell method

"This article revises the Coale-Trussell method for analyzing data from the World Fertility Survey by proposing and testing alternative log-linear and log-multiplicative models. The models, in one form or another, represent the structural constraint underlying the Coale-Trussell method on the variation in the age pattern of human fertility. With a Poisson distribution assumption for the number of births, several parameters of the models are simultaneously estimated via maximum likelihood. It is shown that the new approach can be adopted whenever fertility limitation is compared across multiple populations or subpopulations."     

西部地区农业发展创新型人力资源支撑现状与路径选择

人力资源在经济发展中的地位日益突出,已经成为推动和支撑经济高质量发展的第一资源。创新型人力资源作为一种特殊性的经济资源,是推动经济发展的最活跃的能动生产要素,贯穿于现代化经济体系构建的全过程。以农业发展对人力资源需求变化为切入点,通过对西部地区农业人力资源效能与农业经济发展相关性的分析,发现其农业发展现有创新型人力资源数量、结构和质量均不足以支撑当下区域农业经济快速发展的需求,据此提出完善顶层设计,确保人尽其用;把握经济发展需求,按需引进人力资源;改善西部地区发展环境,做好人力资源统筹规划等对策建议。     

太湖黄颡鱼生物学和渔业的初步分析

分析了太湖黄颡鱼（Peteobagrusfulvidraco）的一般生物学特性,包括种内性状变异、年龄与生长、食性、繁殖等,并对黄颡鱼在太湖渔业开发中的作用进行了评价。结果表明：黄颡鱼对太湖经济鱼类危害不大,而且有抑制野杂鱼过量繁殖的作用,因此认为在太湖现有的生态条件下,黄颡鱼应作为优质鱼类加以保护。
