论知识与知识性劳动

本文针对知识经济来临时代一些人对价值源泉的模糊认识,结合新的实际,在马克思主义经济学理论框架内对知识、知识性劳动进行了分析,在新的经济条件下发展了商品二因素理论和劳动二重性理论.在知识经济时代,人类劳动的主体形式从体力劳动转向智力劳动,知识成为当代经济发展的重要因素,但价值的源泉仍旧是人类劳动.本文通过区分知识和知识性劳动,澄清了模糊认识,阐明是知识性劳动创造了价值,而不是知识创造了价值.知识性劳动就是人们不断探索的劳动,从而知识经济的本质是创新,只有坚持劳动价值论,我们才能在知识经济社会中建立一个以人为本的、不断创新的经济运行机制.     

The econometrics of female labor supply and children

This is a survey of applied econometric research on the effects of children on female labor supply. Reasons for interest in the topic, and a basic model and terminology, are reviewed. Concerns are raised about the possible endogeneity of child status variables, and about the instrumental variables approach for dealing with this problem. Alternative ways of conceptualizing and estimating child status effects are considered, together with selected empirical evidence. Relevant developments from the household demand literature are summarized. Basic issues of model choice are also discussed.     

指数分析中多种方法的结合运用

指数分析法在经济分析的各个领域里已得到广泛的应用。但只用单一方法分析问题往往不够全面、深入。本文以工业劳动生产率的分析为例,从三个方面,多角度、多层次、比较系统地阐述了指数分析中独具特色的分析手法。     

The Roles Played by the Staff and Workers’ Representative Congress in the Formation of Work Regulations

Article 4 of the Labor Contract Law lays down the right of the Staff and Workers’ Representative Congress (SWRC) to deliberate on the formulation of (intra-enterprise) work regulations, but this has become a “soft” law in judicial practice. The judicial criteria for judging the validity of work regulations are in essence determined by the judge’s judgment on their reasonableness. As an important embodiment of Chinese politics, economics and culture, the transformation of the SWRC that accompanied the market economy has not negated its value as an indigenous traditional resource. The SWRC does not just enjoy deliberative rights in the formation of regulations, as clearly specified in constitutional law, but also has rights under the law in local legislation and practice. Hence the system of work regulations is neither a unilateral decision on the part of management nor a contract, but rather an autonomous norm developed through the SWRC mechanism. Given the mandatory nature of Article 4 of the Labor Contract Law, regulations will only be valid after they have gone through a democratic process. The further development of the theory of normative system formation should endow the SWRC with greater rights and integrate it smoothly with the collective contract system to standardize collective labor relations.     

布莱尔对英国工党与工会关系的定位与调整论析

基于1980年代以来工党和保守党处理工会问题的经验教训以及工会的新变化,1994年出任工党领袖的布莱尔把对工会的定位由工党的劳工运动盟友转变为社会合作伙伴,对工会开始采取疏远和强硬的态度,尽力削弱附属工会在党内的权力。布莱尔对工党与工会关系的调整总体上是成功的,但也产生工党失去身份特征、核心选民减少等问题,对此要给予全面辩证地认识。     

高职院校学生顶岗实习中的人身伤害问题及法律保障

顶岗实习是学生在完成文化基础课、专业课以及校内专业实践课以后所进行的实践性教学环节。由于我国法律法规对顶岗实习学生合法权益尚未完善，导致顶岗实习学生在发生人身意外伤害事故时，维权非常困难。本文对顶岗实习的涵义、顶岗实习学生身份的界定和完善顶岗实习法律举措等几个方面的法律问题进行了探讨。     

中国雇员群体状况分析

随着社会经济的发展及人口老龄化程度的不断加深，劳动力状况作为影响经济增长的重要因素引起社会各界的关注。然而，基于劳动力就业身份的雇员群体的描述性分析非常少。因此，本文利用2012年中国劳动力态调查（CLDS）数据，详细描述了他们受雇条件、受雇情况、劳动收益、工作状况及劳动侵权状况、工作评价及工作价值观；同时，分析了不同性别、年龄层及不同地区雇员群体在上述方面存在的差异，并对这些差异进行了一定的讨论，希望对相关劳动政策的制定有所启发。     

Insecure times? Workers' perceived job and labor market security in 23 OECD countries

By examining the association between employees' perceptions of job security and central labor market policies and characteristics, this paper seeks to understand the mechanisms through which institutions generate confidence and positive expectations among individuals regarding their economic future. The analyses distinguish between different facets of perceived job security and different institutional mechanisms. My multilevel analyses of a data set that contains information on 12,431 individuals and 23 countries show that some labor market policies and characteristics are more likely than others to provide workers with subjective security. Unemployment assistance in particular is an effective means of reducing workers' worries about job loss. Dismissal protection, by contrast, only unleashes its psychologically protective effects under certain conditions. The paper's main conclusion is that the effectiveness of policies varies and that different types of labor market institutions serve as complements rather than as substitutes.     

Equilibrium Labor Turnover,Firm Growth,and Unemployment

This paper considers equilibrium quit turnover in a frictional labor market with costly hiring by firms, where large firms employ many workers and face both aggregate and firm specific productivity shocks. There is exogenous firm turnover as new (small) startups enter the market over time, while some existing firms fail and exit. Individual firm growth rates are disperse and evolve stochastically. The paper highlights how dynamic monopsony, where firms trade off lower wages against higher (endogenous) employee quit rates, yields excessive job‐to‐job quits. Such quits directly crowd out the reemployment prospects of the unemployed. With finite firm productivity states, stochastic equilibrium is fully tractable and can be computed using standard numerical techniques.     

Rhetoric and Reality of Economic Self-sufficiency Among Rural,Low-Income Mothers: A Longitudinal Study

This study examined the contributions of maternal labor force participation and marital status on economic self-sufficiency over time for rural mothers. Data were from 174 rural families participating in three waves of data collection in Rural Families Speak. χ ² and multiple logistic regression were utilized. Results revealed only one-third of mothers moved toward economic self-sufficiency over three years. Maternal education, employment status, and weekly work hours were associated with improved economic well-being. Compared to single-parent families, unmarried-couple and married-couple families had increased odds of improving economically. In an analysis of all mothers with partners, married or unmarried, martial status was not significant in economic improvement. Findings suggest the role of marriage in welfare reform for rural families should be reconsidered.
