A survey of the family planning work done in Dongguan County

The total fertility rate of women of childbearing age of Dongguan County in China has been decreasing gradually from 5.9 during the period following the liberation in 1949 to 2.05 in 1982. In order to encourage young couples to implement the policy of family planning consciously, the people's government of Dongguan county decided in July 1980 that all cadres and employees in county towns who received 1-child certificates would be exempted from house rent of 45 square meters from the time they get their certificates and would be allocated a living space of a 2-children family until their children reached age 16. It also stipulated that every couple could enjoy 1 month's holiday every year for 3 years and during the holiday, their salary, bonus and rate of attendance would not be affected. Because women bear less children today, they are relieved from heavy household chores and become the main working force in collective production. As a result, the development of town-run enterprises was stimulated and the total industrial output value of these enterprises increased. The average monthly salary of each female worker is about 100 yuan. In 1984, the average income per capita of the country rose to 649.2 yuan. The implementation of family planning work has eased the tension in the education field. Previously, because of the large number of school-age children in rural areas, teachers had to teach 2 classes. In the past 4 years, great emphasis was laid on intellectual investment. During this period, 2351 schools were built and several fundraising projects were implemented. Since 1981, more than 200 new running water projects were built, and new public services have been developed, including old age homes.

基于长江经济带的金融资源与农业资本化耦合实证研究

农业资本化的本质是农业资本投入的不断增加,金融资源是实现农业资本化的根本保障,只有顺应农业资本化方向的金融资源才可减少无效或低效供给,增加有效或高效供给。本文首先从理论出发论述了金融资源与农业资本化存在相互作用的耦合机制。金融资源通过资本形成机制、技术进步机制和要素替代机制促进农业资本化发展,农业资本化的发展能带来农业生产效率和数量的提高,促进农业经营性收益增加,从而刺激农村地区金融服务产品的需求和供给得到提升,为金融资源总量增加提供累积空间。再基于长江经济带10省市2008—2019年样本数据,通过构建金融资源与农业资本化两大指标体系,运用熵值法和耦合协调度模型对金融资源与农业资本化的耦合协调程度进行实证检验。结果表明,金融资源与农业资本化的发展整体呈上升趋势,但二者存在背离的现象,农村金融资源不足或错配阻碍着金融资源与农业资本化相互促进的良性循环。     

在坚守与转换中思索人性:刘庆邦小说的空间书写

刘庆邦着眼于我国城乡社会结构的变迁,多年来坚持书写农村题材和普通矿工的平凡生活,新世纪以来创作的“保姆在北京”系列小说则将创作视点转移至进城打工的保姆群体,不变的是他对底层百姓的人道主义关怀及对人性问题的深入思索。不论是城乡交叉地带的煤矿叙事所呈现出的物理空间、心理空间和社会空间,还是“保姆在北京”系列小说中空间权力对进城乡下女性的规约与限制,都表现出刘庆邦小说明显的空间意识,也体现了他小说创作的独特价值。     

人工智能、就业数量效应与劳动关系转型研究——基于有调节的中介模型

基于新一轮科技革命的发展背景,考察人工智能对劳动关系转型的影响.运用我国30个省级行政区2003-2017年的面板数据,以就业数量效应为中介变量,以制度环境为调节变量,从灵活化、法制化和集体化角度探究人工智能对劳动关系转型的影响.结果显示,人工智能驱动我国劳动关系的多元化转型,就业数量效应在其中发挥了中介作用,且制度环境调节这一中介过程.     

Lifestyle Options and Economic Strategies: Subsistence Activities in the Mississippi Delta1

Abstract "Subsistence" and "informal economy" are contrasted in their utility as sociological concepts and their ability to explain a variety of activities in two rural Mississippi Delta communities. Literature on subsistence stresses that the desired outcome of participation is not an increase in income but the social rewards of participation itself. Two underlying dimensions of participation in these activities are documented through the literature and through a confirmatory factor analysis of empirical data: life-style choice and economic strategy. These were constructed into indexes and examined individually and in combination as dependent variables using regressors at the community, household, and individual levels. Community ties were weakly associated with participation in such activities. Whites and those with higher incomes participated more in lifestyle choice oriented activities. Participation in general was statistically related to households needing less weekly income and being of larger size. Potential connections with persistent rural poverty are discussed.     

Generalized Leverage and its Applications

The generalized leverage of an estimator is defined in regression models as a measure of the importance of individual observations. We derive a simple but powerful result, developing an explicit expression for leverage in a general M -estimation problem, of which the maximum likelihood problems are special cases. A variety of applications are considered, most notably to the exponential family non-linear models. The relationship between leverage and local influence is also discussed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate our results
