商品房中环境经济价值的评估研究及其应用

如何对商品房中环境的经济价值进行评估?目前国内还缺乏系统性和可操作性较强的评估体系。本文尝试建立了一套全面衡量居住房产价值的评估指标体系。应用该体系对市场调查统计结果的分析表明:目前商品房总价值与"非环境因素"相关性较大,而"环境因素"占其价值的比例随着房价增高而增加。该体系的应用有助于提高市场的透明度,兼顾房地产经济的公平与效率,且有利于房地产经济的发展与环境保护的相互促进。     

独立学院师资队伍建设与发展浅探

随着我国高等教育进入大众化发展阶段,既要扩大高等教育规模,又要保证教学质量,已成为我国高等教育面临的突出问题,针对解决这一问题而言,师资队伍建设是独立学院可持续健康发展的关键.师资队伍建设是一个长期的积累过程,针对不同的发展阶段要找准建设的重点,采取不同的措施并进行灵活的管理,始终坚持以"引进 培养"为指导思想,采取"专、兼"相结合的方法,充分利用民办和公办二者的优势,走一条从依靠到独立和特色发展的道路,建立一支独立自主的高素质师资队伍,才能从根本上保障办学质量和提高办学效益.     

“智慧教育”背景下应用型高等院校活力课堂建设路径——基于工商管理类专业的考察

随着智慧课堂、智慧教室和智慧校园等智慧教育成果的运用,推进智慧教学,打造活力课堂,已成为提升应用型大学教育教学质量的重要手段.当前应用型大学活力课堂建设仍然存在缺乏系统性的融合方法、多维度的体验情景、多渠道的协同实战和高共享的智慧平台四大障碍因素.因此,应打破企业只是“接盘侠”、学生只是“知识人”、创业教育只是“独行者...     

熵理论与和谐社会

熵理论揭示了任何事物和过程都是有序和无序的辩证统一,人类社会的发展也是有序和无序的辩证统一。构建和谐社会的实质就是克服无序(不和谐)、创建有序(和谐),实现安定有序。这是建设中国特色社会主义的重大任务。     

21世纪世界人口面临的主要问题与挑战

人类跨入 2 1世纪 ,在迅速发展经济的同时 ,也面临着一些问题和挑战。世界人口数量急剧增长 ,人口倍增时间大为缩短。人口老化速度加快 ,在 2 1世纪的前 10年 ,世界各国都将出现人口老龄化趋势。随着现代化工业和市场经济的飞速发展 ,全球人口城市化速度日益加剧。同时贫困人口问题困扰发展中国家。人类为了满足自身发展的需要 ,导致自身资源日益减少 ,生态环境日益恶化 ,如不设法采取补救措施 ,将会面临一场生态灾难     

As low birth weight babies grow,can well-educated parents buffer this adverse factor? A research note

This research note combines two national Taiwanese data sets to investigate the relationships among low birth weight (LBW) babies, their parents' educational levels, and their future academic outcomes. We find that LBW is negatively correlated with the probability of such children attending college at age 18; however, when both parents are college or high school graduates, such negative effects may be partially offset. We also show that discrimination against daughters occurs, but only for daughters who were LBW babies. Moreover high parental education can buffer the LBW shock only among moderately LBW children (as compared with very LBW children) and full-term LBW children (as compared with preterm LBW children).     

Self as enterprise: digital disability practices of entrepreneurship and employment in the wave of ‘Internet + disability’ in China

ABSTRACT

Situated in China’s neoliberal context and its rapid development of information communication technologies (ICTs), this study aimed to examine how disabled people in China transformed themselves into new self-enterprising subjects in the wave of ‘Internet?+?Disability.’ In order to answer this question, this study tried to develop an analytical framework to illustrate the disability practices that situated in the ICTs and neoliberal context, underpinned by the discourse of ‘self as enterprise,’ and demonstrated by the practices of entrepreneurship and employment. Based on the research design of case studies and methods that included ethnographic participant observation and in-depth interviews, this study explained how a disabled entrepreneur, Mr. Yuan, took advantage of the wave of ‘Internet?+?Disability’ to realize his dream of entrepreneurship and face the uncertainties of a precarious entrepreneurship. It also explained how Mr. Yuan’s employees achieved their dreams of employment but suffered the precariousness of enterprising subjects.     

Values and happiness among Asian adolescents: a cross-national study

Despite policy efforts to increase adolescent happiness, their impact has been unsatisfactory. Their limited impact may be rooted from a discrepancy between values that adolescents pursued and those that the policies were based on. To provide policy implications, our study aims to identify prevailing values for South Korean, Japanese, and Chinese adolescents and to examine the relationship between the values and self-rated happiness (SRH). A cross-sectional study was conducted using survey data collected on approximately 2000 middle and high school students (7th to 12th school grade) from each country in 2008. Firstly, an explanatory factor analysis was conducted to identify salient adolescent values from each country. Subsequently, a multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted for each population group to examine the relationship between the identified values and adolescent SRH after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. We found that benevolence and altruism were positively associated with adolescent SRH in all three population groups. Patriarchy was associated with SRH positively in Chinese yet inversely in Japanese. Success pursuit was inversely associated with SRH in Korean. Policy efforts based on values of communities or social harmony may benefit adolescents’ SRH in these three countries.     

Inferences for a Partially Varying Coefficient Model With Endogenous Regressors

In this article, we propose a new class of semiparametric instrumental variable models with partially varying coefficients, in which the structural function has a partially linear form and the impact of endogenous structural variables can vary over different levels of some exogenous variables. We propose a three-step estimation procedure to estimate both functional and constant coefficients. The consistency and asymptotic normality of these proposed estimators are established. Moreover, a generalized F-test is developed to test whether the functional coefficients are of particular parametric forms with some underlying economic intuitions, and furthermore, the limiting distribution of the proposed generalized F-test statistic under the null hypothesis is established. Finally, we illustrate the finite sample performance of our approach with simulations and two real data examples in economics.
