长江流域的消费函数:基于非稳定面板数据的分析

运用面板单位根与面板协整方法研究长江流域的消费函数。基于10省(市)1981-2003年的宏观消费与收入的面板数据,研究发现消费与收入存在显著的面板协整关系,边际消费倾向也非常稳定,稳定在0.7-0.85之间。为此,应采取鼓励消费的政策,从而促进经济长期增长。     

居民收入分配差距扩大对经济增长的效用分析

收入分配、消费需求与经济增长之间是相互联系、相互促进的辩证统一关系。但是我国近年来的发展却出现了经济增长快,居民收入增长低于经济增长的幅度,从而导致消费需求降低,消费对GDP增长的贡献份额连续大幅度下降的态势。在对居民收入分配差距、城乡差距、地区差距实证分析的基础上,从理论上分析了收入分配差距对经济增长的巨大影响,得出我国收入分配差距以及城乡差距和地区差距已经极大地制约了人们的消费需求,进而影响到经济的持续、有序、快速发展的结论。中央提出:"扩大内需是我国经济发展的长期战略方针和基本立足点。"扩大内需的前提是调整收入分配政策,大幅度提高居民的收入水平,重点增加低收入者的收入,促进整个社会消费水平的提高,从而推动国民经济的持续增长。

How the acculturation of Baba Nyonya community affects Malacca food identity?

ABSTRACT

The migration of the Chinese community to Malacca in the 16th century has enabled the process of cross culturing and culinary acculturation, producing a unique mixture of Baba Nyonya food. Even though Baba Nyonya food is pretty much has been localised (Malay), its Chinese representation cannot be denied. This study aims to assess how the acculturation of the Baba Nyonya community affects Malacca food identity. A quantitative methodology is employed in this study. This study classifies Baba Nyonya food acculturation through (1) types of food; (2) methods of cooking; (3) ingredients; and (4) eating decorum. From the regression analysis, this study found that Baba Nyonya cultural polarity explains significant variation in the formation of Malacca food identity. This study then elaborates on the importance of Baba Nyonya food in Malacca destination branding.     

消费文化的道德规约

在消费社会里,人类的消费活动、消费过程文化意义越来越浓厚,消费文化对人类消费活动的引领作用亦随之明显。文化自身承载着意义,拥有教育功能和批判精神。拟使消费文化发挥更多的积极的导向作用,不仅要发挥文化的积极意义和批判精神,还应强调消费文化的真正正义,使消费文化释放出更多的“正能量”,表现出一种道德担当。在一个人均资源并不丰厚的国度里,消费既包含文化,也包含道德规约;既包括文化牵引,也涵盖道德自觉。     

China’s flexible overseas food strategy: food trade and agricultural investment between Southeast Asia and China in 1990–2015

Using the UN Comtrade database and multiple sources of agricultural investment data, this paper outlines the emerging patterns of food trade and agricultural investment between Southeast Asian countries and China. The paper shows that China has adopted a flexible overseas food strategy. First, China has increased food export and shifted its food trade with Southeast Asia from a dependent relationship towards a complementary relationship at the regional level in recent years. Second, China tends to adapt to the existing conditions of food production and trade in Southeast Asian countries instead of fundamentally altering them. Finally, Chinese overseas agricultural investment is less driven by domestic food demand but more oriented for profit making, and this gives it flexibility in diversifying investment. An adequate understanding of China’s flexible food strategy in bilateral and multilateral relationships holds implications for global food security.     

Three layers of history in recurrent social movements: the case of food reform

Using the understudied genre of food reform movements for illustration, we advocate greater attention to recurrent social movements. Analysis of these movements calls for combining three levels of historical analysis. One links the incidence and character of mobilization to long-term, large-scale historical changes; the second shows how periods of activism are also animated and shaped by specific historical contexts; and the third tracks legacies from earlier to later periods, thus both tracing additional causal influences and connecting separate cases into coherent sequences. The social movements literature includes excellent examples of each type of historical account. Combining types is much less common. Doing so, we contend, offers methodological advantages for scholars comparing and sequencing mobilization around similar problems in different historical periods. We develop the argument from three eras of food protest: Grahamites in the 1830s and early 1840s, dietary reformers and food safety campaigners of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and organic advocates who gained popular support beginning in the late 1960s.     

北京地区农村电力消费模型研究

基于北京农村地区用电消费的实际调查,我们发现农村地区的用电与家庭户均支出、电冰箱保有率、空调拥有率、电热毯保有率有较为密切的相关关系,本文对北京地区的农村用电消费建立了一个研究模型,以此指导农村地区用电市场的开发与建设。

在当代英国著名社会学家费瑟斯通看来,当今社会从某种意义说就是消费社会,消费社会具有后现代特性,在消费社会,日常生活具有审美特性,影像具有重要意义,文化媒介人成为新审美生活方式的创造者和传播者。     

消费：节制与激励及其社会后果

随着经济的发展,人们的消费理念也在不断重塑。为推动可持续发展,需要正确引导人类的消费欲望。通过对我国消费由节制到激励、再到适度节制的转变历程与社会环境的阐述,分析了节制消费与刺激消费的社会影响,指出节制消费有助于保持经济稳定、增加储蓄、平衡财政收支,但对生产力、经济发展、消费品质与劳动力素质提升具有消极影响;而刺激消费有助于促进经济增长与生产力提升,但易引发消费主义,导致过度消费与浪费。基于此,提出构建适度消费、绿色消费与健康消费的消费理念。
