A bargaining model with players' perceptions on the retractability of offers

This paper studies a generalization of Rubinstein's bargaining model with retractable offers. The model incorporates and parameterizes the bargainers' perceptions on the retractability of offers. Our key result characterizes the limiting set of perfect equilibria as the time interval between two consecutive offers tends to zero. In this limit, for any possible players' perceptions on the retractability of offers such that at least one of the players perceives that there is at least a small chance that offers may be retractable, the bargaining game possesses a continuum of perfect equilibria.     

完善我国夫妻离婚后的扶养制度

我国夫妻离婚后扶养制度在立法与司法上均存在不足,完善这一制度对实现社会公平、促进社会和谐具有非常重要的意义。参照各国扶养制度,我国立法应在扶养的性质、扶养请求权的主体和行使时间、扶养的构成要件、扶养的种类和期间、扶养费的给付标准与方式、扶养请求权的限制、扶养费给付的终止等方面作出规定。     

积极推进社区矫正立法,健全完善社区矫正执行体系

十八届三中全会《中共中央关于全面深化改革若干重大问题的决定》决定：“废止劳动教养制度,完善对违法犯罪行为的矫治和矫正法律,健全社区矫正制度”。我国实践十多年的社区矫正工作进入发展的快车道,积极推进社区矫正立法,科学合理设定社区矫正机关,规范程序,健全完善社区矫正执行体系,提高教育矫正的针对性和实效性,实现社区矫正目的。

Factor Structure and Reliability of the Advantages of Children Scale with Latino and Caucasian Male Emerging Adults

Abstract

Based on the value of children theory, the purpose of this study was to develop and establish the factor structure and internal consistency reliability of the Advantages of Children Scale (ACS), a self-report measure of a modification of Hoffman and Hoffman’s value scheme of the psychological needs children meet for their parents. Data were collected from 685 emerging adult men identifying as Latino or Caucasian who were not parents. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis found a good fit for the six hypothesized subscales on the ACS: connectedness, expansion of self, family heritage, adult status and social identity, development of self, and family maintenance. We discuss potential applications of the measure in research and practice.     

Modelling Building Societies Takeovers a Non-Cooperative Game

Takeover and acquisition of corporations is awell-researched area and has been becomingincreasingly important. Much less research emphasishas been devoted to takeover activity within thegeneral area of financial services with thisparticularly the case for the building society sector.The building societies being mutual companies havespecial characteristics. The building societies andother financial mutuals like the corporations doencounter an acute agency problem. This opens up apotential application of Grossman and Hart theory oftakeovers bids as the individuals have option to freeride, securing knowledge that the regulatory processrenders their deposits de facto risk-free investment.This free-rider problem, like the corporations can beovercome by inducing hostile takeover.Some empirical studies of mergers activities withinthe building society sector have dealt with onlyintra-sectoral mergers. However, they have not lookedat inter-sectoral mergers and have not addressedefficiency issues in a general equilibrium frameworkusing game theory.In this paper I suggest a mechanism for merger at parwith sales of stocks of a corporation to organisebuilding societies' takeovers. I develop a two-stagegame between the members of building societies and theraider. Analysis of non-cooperative voting behaviourof members of Cheltenham and Gloucester buildingsociety shows that the actions of the members of thebuilding society may also give rise to less thanoptimal results as they may not be acting in their bestinterests. The members of the building society cangain if a hostile takeover is induced rather than afriendly takeover. The paper also examines the freerider problem and ex-ante efficiency in a generalequilibrium framework.     

预防与惩治学术不端行为之我见

学术不端事件是在特定的环境中产生的,其表现形式形形色色、多种多样,产生了非常恶劣的社会影响,必须采取一些切实可行的措施予以惩治与预防,如弘扬科学道德,改革评价体系,制定严厉的惩处制度,通过反剽窃软件予以验证等,以净化学术空气,还学术界一片纯净的蓝天。     

《侵权责任法》第16条之我见——对残疾赔偿金与死亡赔偿金的解读

《侵权责任法》第22条规定了精神抚慰金,第16条规定了残疾赔偿金与死亡赔偿金,而没有规定被扶养人的抚养费请求权。由于＂两金＂在性质上属于精神抚慰金,所以,＂两金＂与精神抚慰金不得主张;尽管＂两金＂与被扶养人的抚养费性质不同,理论上似乎可以并用,但由于＂两金＂在赔偿标准上采取了＂遗失利益损害赔偿＂的计算方法,使对受害人及其家庭的救济达到了如同没有发生侵权损害一样,所以,被扶养人的抚养费亦不可以与＂两金＂并用。     

贫富均衡，门当户对——郁达夫小说《迟桂花》婚姻理念及其成因初探

门当户对的婚姻观念反映在社会生活的各个层面中,文学作品犹不例外。郁达夫的小说《迟桂花》三次写到婚事,较集中地体现了这一传统的婚嫁观念。《迟桂花》诞生于20世纪30年代新文化、五四运动之后,门当户对的婚姻理念与当时社会明显格格不入,甚至存在着一定的落后性,但结合创作背景分析,又不乏其合理性。     

Computing Normal Form Perfect Equilibria for Extensive Two‐Person Games

This paper presents an algorithm for computing an equilibrium of an extensive two‐person game with perfect recall. The method is computationally efficient by virtue of using the sequence form, whose size is proportional to the size of the game tree. The equilibrium is traced on a piecewise linear path in the sequence form strategy space from an arbitrary starting vector. If the starting vector represents a pair of completely mixed strategies, then the equilibrium is normal form perfect. Computational experiments compare the sequence form and the reduced normal form, and show that only the sequence form is tractable for larger games.
