公共危机治理网络视阈下的政府间关系

在由多元主体共同构成的公共危机治理网络中,政府仍然是其中对资源和权力进行权威配置的核心主体.从战略高度调整公共危机治理网络中政府间关系的核心与前提则在于重构以政府为核心、各参与主体的权力-责任分配机制.实行平战结合、统分结合的权力分配体制,形成常态管理和危机预警、恢复阶段彼此间共享权力、分担风险与战时集中决策、统一指挥并存的权力分配格局.     

司法的独立与民主:价值整合和制度架构

司法独立追求法律职业主义和司法规则模型,司法民主注重民众参与和意志表达,法治实践中两者存在紧张关系.应结合后现代社会关系性质和秩序状况,按照法律商谈论理路对司法独立和民主两种实现社会主体权利和自由的方法进行价值整合,确立法官社会化、司法论坛化、司法能动化、解纷机制多元化等制度架构方向.

授人以鱼不如授人以渔

以色列医学整容专家莫瑞斯·托帕兹博士在2008年汶川地震后亲赴灾区,使用先进的“负压创伤治疗技术”开展创伤治疗,令许多伤者免除了不必要的截肢、缩短了疗程、大量减少了抗生素的应用。他认为,授人以鱼不如授人以渔,中国的医生应该从西方医生所犯的错误中吸取教训。

民族村寨旅游环境困境及路径选择

近些年来,我国少数民族地区村寨旅游业蓬勃发展,旅游经济活动日益频繁,但由于多种因素的影响,民族村寨旅游环境问题相继出现,造成旅游村寨自然生态环境的破坏和人文生态环境的失调,严重威胁了村寨居民的生产生活环境,影响了村寨旅游的可持续发展.因此,有必要从经济学的角度探讨村寨旅游环境问题,指出旅游经济活动所具有的外部不经济性、旅游环境的公产物品特性等因素是引起旅游环境问题的重要经济根源和根本原因,并就此提出解决旅游村寨环境问题的基本路径.     

ON THE DESIRABILITY OF TAX COORDINATION WHEN COUNTRIES COMPETE IN TAXES AND INFRASTRUCTURE

This article contains two distinct messages. First, when jurisdictions compete in two independent strategic variables, the decision to coordinate on one variable (a tax rate) induces a carry‐over effect on the unconstrained instrument (infrastructure expenditures). Consequently, classical results of the tax coordination literature may be qualified. A second message is that the relative flexibility of the strategic instruments, which may depend on the time horizon of the decision making, does matter. In particular, tax coordination is more likely to be detrimental (in terms of revenue and/or welfare) when countries can compete simultaneously in taxes and infrastructure, rather than sequentially. The reason is that simultaneity eliminates strategic effects between tax and nontax instruments. (JEL H21, H87, H73, F21, C72)     

Examining identity development among gay men of color

Within the past few decades, there has been an explosion of articles examining “gay identity.” Yet, much of this work continues to center on the experiences of gay White men or fail to adequately examine the process of identity development, even when “identity” is central to the discussion. This review outlines 4 theoretical perspectives used to explore gay men of color and identity development. Taken together, these 4 perspectives can offer a rich opportunity to explore the ways that gay men of color come to develop an identity that simultaneously addresses their racial and sexual identities. I argue that examining identity development among gay men of color can help sociology better understand the identity process and provide new insights into examining intersectionality by demonstrating that identities are not only intersectional but also contextual.     

Estimation of variance in bivariate normal distribution after the preliminary test of homogeneity

A preliminary test estimator of variance in the bivariate normal distribution is proposed after the Pitman–Morgan test of homogeneity of two variances. The bias and mean square error of the estimator are derived. The relative efficiency (RE) of the preliminary test estimator is studied. Computations and 3D graphs of RE for different parameters are analyzed. In order to get the maximum RE, recommendations of the significance level for the preliminary test are given for various sample sizes by using the max–min criterion.
