Implied Preference for Seismic Design Level and Earthquake Insurance

Seismic risk can be reduced by implementing newly developed seismic provisions in design codes. Furthermore, financial protection or enhanced utility and happiness for stakeholders could be gained through the purchase of earthquake insurance. If this is not so, there would be no market for such insurance. However, perceived benefit associated with insurance is not universally shared by stakeholders partly due to their diverse risk attitudes. This study investigates the implied seismic design preference with insurance options for decisionmakers of bounded rationality whose preferences could be adequately represented by the cumulative prospect theory (CPT). The investigation is focused on assessing the sensitivity of the implied seismic design preference with insurance options to model parameters of the CPT and to fair and unfair insurance arrangements. Numerical results suggest that human cognitive limitation and risk perception can affect the implied seismic design preference by the CPT significantly. The mandatory purchase of fair insurance will lead the implied seismic design preference to the optimum design level that is dictated by the minimum expected lifecycle cost rule. Unfair insurance decreases the expected gain as well as its associated variability, which is preferred by risk-averse decisionmakers. The obtained results of the implied preference for the combination of the seismic design level and insurance option suggest that property owners, financial institutions, and municipalities can take advantage of affordable insurance to establish successful seismic risk management strategies.     

敞开新的空间——对马克思主义的解构主义解读

马克思主义哲学的突破性在于辨证唯物主义、历史唯物主义以及实践唯物主义为后来的哲学思想继续突破形而上学的桎梏提供了空间、场域和契机.马克思历史唯物主义中存在的差异性意义和唯物辩证法中包含的"批判与自我批判的精神"(即解构的精神)是马克思主义理论的精髓和重要遗产,我们需要用它打开和保持资本逻辑世界的裂缝,敞开面向一切可能性(包含一切存在、差异和对立)的新空间,以实现对马克思主义精神的真正继承.     

会计信息可靠性与相关性的产权博弈分析

从产权经济学角度对会计信息的产权属性进行分析,把会计信息的产权主体定位为所有的信息使用者,认为会计信息的产权主体与会计信息质量特征之间存在密切关系。不同产权主体之间为有利于自身的信息进行博弈,可靠性和相关性孰轻孰重取决于各方在博弈中的力量对比。最后,文章提出重构会计信息市场、实现可靠性和相关性协调发展的若干对策。     

青少年性教育的有效抓手：同伴性教育

通过对我国青少年性教育现状的分析,发现父母和老师都没能很好地承担起青少年性教育的重任,造成这一状况的一个重要原因是两代人之间存在着沟通障碍.这就需要大力推广以同辈群体的影响力为基础的同伴性教育.     

Marginal and association regression models for longitudinal binary data with drop‐outs: A likelihood‐based approach

Longitudinal data often contain missing observations, and it is in general difficult to justify particular missing data mechanisms, whether random or not, that may be hard to distinguish. The authors describe a likelihood‐based approach to estimating both the mean response and association parameters for longitudinal binary data with drop‐outs. They specify marginal and dependence structures as regression models which link the responses to the covariates. They illustrate their approach using a data set from the Waterloo Smoking Prevention Project They also report the results of simulation studies carried out to assess the performance of their technique under various circumstances.     

Robustness of testing the equality of two slopes in simple linear structural relationships

The usual test of the equality of two slopes in a simple structural relation-ship is the test formed from the normal approximation using the Fisher information matrix, assuming two explanatory variables are independent. This paper examines the robustness if the explanatory variables are, in fact, dependent. A more efficient estimator is derived for a matched pair situation.

“个性如不得解放，就没有社会主义”——从毛泽东给博古等的一封信谈起

毛泽东认为马克思主义与民粹主义有根本区别.另外,在信中毛泽东也论及了个性解放、民主与社会主义的关系,党性和个性的关系,以及陆定一对后者的认识.在党性与个性的问题上,用个性来否定党性是有害的.
