试论城市化进程中的民族关系--以对临夏市的调查为视点

临夏市作为西北民族地区的一个小城市,在城市化进程中,其民族关系也会受到影响.针对临夏市的实际情况及学术界的研究现状,我们选取临夏市城市化进程中变化较大的几个变量,即民族居住格局的变迁、人口流动的影响、民族通婚的增减以及宗教因素,作为研究重点来衡量城市化进程中的民族关系.在此基础上得出临夏市各民族之间的关系总体上是平等、团结、互助、合作的社会主义新型民族关系,和谐平等的民族关系占据了主导地位的结论,并归纳出城市化进程中临夏市的民族关系具有主从性、敏感性、易发性、历史性、隐蔽性、复杂性等特点,最后提出临夏市各族群众必须解决自身的定位问题,建立临夏市和谐民族关系的良性运转机制.

Racial capitalism and STEM education in Chicago Public Schools

ABSTRACT

This article analyzes the role of STEM initiatives designed by city and corporate elites in a large urban district and outlines an alternative, grassroots vision for (STEM) education and city schools. Within a neoliberal context of gentrification, displacement, disinvestment, and privatization, STEM schools have become strategic components of Chicago’s ‘portfolio district’ that serve the interests of racial capitalism in three ways. First, STEM schools provide a claim to fairness in the midst of racist school closures. Second, STEM high schools are a corporate strategy for racially stratified labor force preparation that restricts curriculum and reifies tracking. Third, curriculum restriction prioritizes corporate interests over students’ capacity to shape their communities and the world. The authors draw on the wisdom of Chicago communities who have led resistance against corporate education reform to critique Chicago STEM policy and point to critical mathematics and science education as part of a model for sustainable community schools.

Identification Properties of Recent Production Function Estimators

This paper examines some of the recent literature on the estimation of production functions. We focus on techniques suggested in two recent papers, Olley and Pakes (1996) and Levinsohn and Petrin (2003). While there are some solid and intuitive identification ideas in these papers, we argue that the techniques can suffer from functional dependence problems. We suggest an alternative approach that is based on the ideas in these papers, but does not suffer from the functional dependence problems and produces consistent estimates under alternative data generating processes for which the original procedures do not.
