可持续发展理论的经济学反思

由社会主体到自然主体——论宋代文人投身自然的几种表现形式

宋代文人投身自然 ,实质上是一种由社会主体向自然主体的角色转换 ,这种角色转换表现为 4个层面 :在行为上诗酒山林、随遇皆乐 ;在心理上“安于冲旷、不与众驱”;在思想上“无愧于中、无责于外”;在感情上“不以物喜、不以己悲”。这四个层面归结到一点 ,则是抒写山水 ,营造“心灵屋宇”。文人们在这些“心灵屋宇”中流泄的是真挚的情感 ,人生的顿悟和孤芳自赏的高洁品格

从经济价值观角度看西方主流经济学中的效率范畴

从分析西方主流经济学家对效率范畴的界定及对影响经济效率因素的剖析出发 ,文章指出西方主流经济学家对效率范畴的态度和直接向人们推销特定的价值观 :效率第一主义。在市场经济条件下 ,追求经济效率是必要的 ,否则社会难以正常运转。但把追求效率变成效率第一主义 ,在理论上的失足是明显的 ,在实践上则会对个人和社会造成危害。尽管如此 ,西方主流经济学家对提高效率的途径与方法的探讨仍然值得我们借鉴。

Childhood Developmental Risk for Teen Childbearing in Britain

Adolescence is often assumed to be the most important period of life for understanding teen childbearing risk. Developmental perspectives challenge that assumption, offering the possibility that early childhood characteristics may have unique and lasting effects on the risk for teen childbearing. This study examined family life risk factors (socioeconomic status, family stress, and parental involvement in education) and how their effects on teen childbearing risk varied, depending on the childhood age at which they were experienced. Prospective life history data from the National Child Development Study of Great Britain were used to study a birth cohort of 4,928 British women, 15.3% of who became pregnant as teens. This study demonstrated that data from early childhood significantly contribute to the understanding of teen childbearing risk.     

The Texaco racial discrimination case and shareholder wealth

We analyze the wealth ejfects of the Texaco racial discrimination lawsuit both on the shareholders of Texaco and its major U.S. competitors. Employing a comprehensive data set which included every case docket entry and every Wall Street Journal article on the case as an experimental stimulus, our findings suggest that the overall cost of the case to Texaco shareholders exceeded $500 million, that Texaco's tribulations had little, if any, impact on the share prices of its major competitors, and that Wall Street Journal coverage of the case was highly correlated with significant changes in Texaco stock prices. This last finding provides significant support for Hite 's suppostion that newspaper editors “key ” on ex post stock price changes in selecting the events to be covered in the next day's edition.
