比较文学定义与可比性的反思与探索

比较文学在中国复兴20年来,取得了巨大的成绩和进步,成为中国学术界最活跃的一个学科领域,为全世界比较文学学者所关注,产生了世界性的影响。正如季羡林教授所指出:“以学科而论,在世界范围内,比较文学的兴起是较晚的,在中国则更晚,然而一旦兴起,就立即显示其活力,转瞬成为世界显学。比较文学若没有中国是残缺不全的。”实际上,全世界的比较文学学科理论已经历了三个阶段:第一阶段在欧洲,第二阶段在北美,第三阶段在亚洲。中国比较文学学科理论的研究,正是这第三阶段的重要成果。然而,这些成果的取得,却并非一帆风顺,而是在各种困境中推进的,是在种种诘难、否定和困惑之中成长起来的,是在持续不断的“危机”声中脱颖而出的。本专栏特就“比较文学学科理论的困惑与进展”这一题目,约请了上海、广东、山东、四川等地的比较文学学者各抒己见,意在找准问题,认清方向,予人启发,促进比较文学学科理论的进一步发展。     

Smoothed bootstrap bandwidth selection for nonparametric hazard rate estimation

A smoothed bootstrap method is presented for the purpose of bandwidth selection in nonparametric hazard rate estimation for iid data. In this context, two new bootstrap bandwidth selectors are established based on the exact expression of the bootstrap version of the mean integrated squared error of some approximations of the kernel hazard rate estimator. This is very useful since Monte Carlo approximation is no longer needed for the implementation of the two bootstrap selectors. A simulation study is carried out in order to show the empirical performance of the new bootstrap bandwidths and to compare them with other existing selectors. The methods are illustrated by applying them to a diabetes data set.

REAL EXCHANGE RATE,MONETARY POLICY,AND THE U.S. ECONOMY: EVIDENCE FROM A FAVAR MODEL

This paper examines the effects of exchange rate depreciation to the U.S. economy in a factor‐augmented vector autoregression model using monthly data of 148 variables for the post–Bretton Woods period of 1973–2017. Exchange rate shock is identified to reflect exogenous disturbances to the foreign exchange market, and movements in exchange rate that are not accounted for by changes in the U.S. monetary policy. We find that depreciation is expansionary and inflationary to the broad U.S. economy, the current account improves over time conforming to the J‐curve theory, and monetary policy is leaning against the wind.

The impact of the European Youth Guarantee on active labour market policies: A convergence analysis

The European Union’s (EU) Youth Guarantee aims to improve the labour market situation of young people. Rather than prescribing a uniform policy model, it acknowledges that supportive measures need to align with national, regional and local circumstances. It thus seeks to promote mutual policy learning through the open method of coordination. As an innovative measure, the EU has deployed funding programmes to support the domestic measures related to the Youth Guarantee. We therefore examined in this study whether this mix of recommendations and financial incentives has entailed a convergence of member state policies. Our analysis of policy outputs for the period 2007?2014 yields a mixed empirical picture. There is catching‐up convergence regarding policies’ sectoral coverage but increasing divergence concerning the number of adopted policy instruments. The first two years of financial incentives did not produce any effect on enhancing policy experimentation among less active member states. We offer an optimistic and a pessimistic interpretation of these findings.     

论表见代理中的两个问题

表见代理的构成要件及其效力问题,直接关系到本人、无权代理人、相对人的权利、义务和责任.过失责任的基本归责原则,在民法中居于极为重要的支配地位,将本人具有过错作为表见代理的构成要件之一,更具有合理性.民事行为的效力有四种情形,即有效、无效、可撤销和效力未定,将表见代理的效力规定为有效,在民法理论体系上有无法克服的矛盾,若视其为可撤销的民事行为,则可较好地平衡本人和相对人之间的利益,也可保持民法理论体系的前后一致性.

扶贫类非公募基金会的活动模式和发展特点探析

扶贫类非公募基金会是我国扶贫帮困领域中一支不可或缺的社会力量。从扶贫类非公募基金会的活动模式看可以归纳出:独立开展活动模式、与政府合作模式、与基金会合作模式与志愿者合作模式,以及与企业合作模式等主要活动模式。扶贫类非公募基金会在运行过程中不断呈现出资助项目多元化、同经济发展正相关、管理理念的先进性及捐赠视角的独特性等特征。此类社会组织尚处于起步阶段,组织和管理模式中还存在立法尚未体系化、监督与评估运作不灵、专业人员紧缺、活动领域难扩围等不足,需要构建相关法律、完善监督管理、引进培养专业人才、创新扶贫项目,以进一步改进与完善。
