Functional Partial Linear Single‐index Model

This paper deals with the problem of predicting the real‐valued response variable using explanatory variables containing both multivariate random variable and random curve. The proposed functional partial linear single‐index model treats the multivariate random variable as linear part and the random curve as functional single‐index part, respectively. To estimate the non‐parametric link function, the functional single‐index and the parameters in the linear part, a two‐stage estimation procedure is proposed. Compared with existing semi‐parametric methods, the proposed approach requires no initial estimation and iteration. Asymptotical properties are established for both the parameters in the linear part and the functional single‐index. The convergence rate for the non‐parametric link function is also given. In addition, asymptotical normality of the error variance is obtained that facilitates the construction of confidence region and hypothesis testing for the unknown parameter. Numerical experiments including simulation studies and a real‐data analysis are conducted to evaluate the empirical performance of the proposed method.

我国劳动合同期限制度的缺失与重构——兼评《劳动合同法》相关规定

劳动合同期限制度具有明显不同于私法之特色.其正当性基础在于,宏观上维护劳动关系乃至社会的和谐稳定,微观上避免解雇保护制度形同虚设.在我国当前劳动力供大于求且不可替代性差、劳动合同短期化问题严重之现状下,此正当性尤为明显.我国原有现行立法功能错位、难堪其用,而新颁布的《劳动合同法》对此的改进仍极为有限.我国立法应当建立劳动合同期限制度,且应正面直接限制固定期限劳动合同,同时注意避免该制度的僵化.     

Characteristics of children in residential treatment in New York State

This study addresses three questions about the population of children and families served in the highest level of care in the child welfare system in New York State residential treatment centers (RTCs): (1) How prevalent are emotional and behavioral problems in the youth entering RTCs? (2) Has the proportion of youth with such problems increased compared to 10 years ago? (3) Are there identifiable subgroups of youth entering RTCs? One-fourth of RTC admissions in fiscal year 2001 were randomly selected from a representative sample of 16 RTCs. The study completed a standardized data collection instrument based on a review of agency records, and included information that was known at the time each child was admitted. The results show significant increases compared to t10 years earlier in the proportion of youth with mental health problems and juvenile justice backgrounds. The findings suggest that youth who traditionally have been served by other systems of care are now being served in the child welfare system. The increased treatment needs of these youth and the heterogeneity of the RTC population have important implications for policies, programs, and practice.     

涉外民事诉讼期间二题

迄今为止,对于涉外民事诉讼期间,学界少有论及。文章就审限之规制模式及上诉期间、答辩期间等问题进行了论述。笔者认为,涉外民事诉讼的审限制度有待进一步完善,“阶段控制式规制模式”优于“整体控制式规制模式”,同时,我国现行立法对涉外民事诉讼上诉期间、答辩期间的特别规定纯属多余,实无存在之必要。

论港口产业规制契约的重新设计

20世纪70年代以后,在世界范围内出现港口产业规制改革浪潮,竞争机制和私人部门被更多地引入。那么在港口产业规制的新框架下,有必要对规制契约进行重新设计,以满足港口规制实践的需要。对包括价格上限规制、投资规制等在内的港口产业规制契约的核心内容进行了说明,并探讨了契约重新设计中若干关键要素的确定。     

建设节约型社会的理性思考

工业文明以来,石油危机、海啸等一系列生态危机就人类对资源的保护和利用问题敲响了警钟。为了实现人与自然的和谐、可持续发展,实现全面建设小康社会的目标,2004年初,我国政府正式提出建设节约型社会,使资源得到节约使用,环境得到保护,人民生活更加文明、健康、科学,经济与社会持续发展。建设节约型社会是可持续发展不可分割的部分,是构建和谐社会的重要保证,是中国现代化的根本出路,关系到中华民族的兴衰与长期发展,也关系到全人类的幸福与明天。本文主要研究节约型社会作为节约系统工程的评价及体系构建,以期更好地建设节约型社会。
