不同经济收入单亲家庭大学新生个性特征的比较

目的：探讨不同经济收入单亲家庭大学新生个性特征的差异。整群抽取某大学近四年来大一新生12448名,采用卡特尔16种人格因素量表（16PF）、一般人口学变量调查表和自编家庭经济收入量表进行调查。结果：单亲家庭与普通家庭大学新生在有恒性、世故性、实验性、怯懦与果断、感情用事与安详机警、专业成就动机因素和新环境成长能力存在显著差异。不同家庭经济收入单亲大学新生群体在有恒性、怀疑性、忧虑性、紧张性、适应与焦虑、专业成就动机因素和新环境成长能力存在显著差异,在忧虑性、适应与焦虑和新环境成长能力方面有显著的交互作用。结论：单亲家庭大学新生社会性性格发展不良。与贫困和中等单亲家庭大学新生相比,富裕单亲家庭大学新生个性特征表现出低有恒性、低适应、低专业成就动机、低新环境中成长能力和高忧虑性的特点。     

The gender gap in wages in Russia from 1992 to 1995

This paper examines the gender gap in wages in Russia from 1992 to 1995. It uses data on prime aged men and women from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) and focuses on those living in urban areas. Differences in hours of work appear to explain about one half of the gender differential, but there is still a large differential in average hourly wages between men and women. Observable differences in characteristics between men and women explain almost none of the differential or the changes through time. Received: 29 October 1997/Accepted: 24 January 2000     

On private incentives to acquire household production skills

In non-cooperative family models, being good at contributing to family public goods like household production may reduce one's utility, since it tends to crowd out contributions from one's spouse. Similar effects also arise in cooperative models with non-cooperative threat point: improved contribution productivity entails loss of bargaining power. This strategic effect must be traded against the benefits of household production skills, in terms of increased consumption possibilities. Since cooperation involves extensive specialization, incentives to acquire household production skills are strikingly asymmetric, with the one not specializing in household production having strong disincentives for household skill acquisition.

苏俄、共产国际与陈炯明接触始末

20世纪20年代初,苏俄、共产国际在东方战略的指导下,通过各种渠道在华寻找政治同盟。南方实力派陈炯明资深的革命经历、对新生苏俄的赞美和尊崇、反帝爱国的政治态度曾一度使他成为苏俄、共产国际选择的联合对象。然而事实证明陈炯明并非莫斯科式的革命者,"六一六"事件发生后,陈氏对莫斯科和中共的态度也急转直下,苏俄、共产国际结束了联合陈炯明的尝试,从而转向与孙中山的合作。     

Remittance volatility and financial sector development in sub-Saharan African countries

In this study we examine the relationship between remittances, remittance volatility and financial sector development in sub-Saharan Africa using a two-step system GMM estimator over the period 2002–2014. Separately focussing on banking sector- and stock market development, our study distinguishes between the effect of remittances and remittance volatility on financial sector depth and financial sector efficiency. The results indicate remittances act as a substitute for the formal banking system in sub-Saharan African countries. We further provide evidence that remittance volatility is detrimental to both banking sector depth and efficiency. No evidence is found that remittance volatility is related to stock market development. A policy implication from our study is that sub-Saharan African countries should have measures in place to monitor the predictability of remittances while the cost of remittance transfer needs to be investigated.     

Who will be idol? The importance of social networks for winning on reality shows

This paper examines, both theoretically and empirically, the effect of social networks and belonging to minority groups (or race) on the probability of winning in reality television shows. We develop a theoretical model that studies viewer behavior by presenting a framework of competition between two contestants from two different groups. The results are examined empirically using unique contestant data from the highly popular reality show “A Star Is Born”, the Israeli counterpart of “American Idol”. Our main finding is that social networks and belonging to minority groups play key roles in the contestant's victory. While the effect of belonging to a minority group is positive, the social network effect is U-shaped. Beyond the world of reality TV, this paper sheds light on the general behavior of social networks as well.     

Robust multivariate Bayesian forecasting under functional distortions in the -metric

This paper investigates robustness of multivariate forecasting in the Bayesian framework. The minimax approach is used to construct robust statistical procedures under deviations from hypothetical assumptions. The deviations are defined as functional distortions using the χ²-pseudo-metric. Two cases of deviations are considered: distortions of parameter distribution and distortions of joint distribution of observations and parameters. Explicit forms for the guaranteed upper risk functional are obtained and integral equations for robust prediction statistics are given for both cases.     

由新《民事诉讼法》第55条反思检察机关公益诉讼的法律保障

《民事诉讼法》第二次修正案第55条规定,“法律规定的机关”可以向人民法院提起公益诉讼,仍未明确检察机关的原告主体资格.依据法理分析,在国家利益、社会公共利益遭受侵犯却乏有救济时,人民检察院为维护公益代表国家支持起诉或提起诉讼,是其行使法定职能的表现.基于宪法、人民检察院组织法的立法精神和司法实践,有理由也有必要对人民检察院的公益诉讼起诉权予以肯定.我国检察机关提起环境公益诉讼的原告主体资格、受案范围、环境损害评估及其举证责任、法律程序、诉讼费用承担和案件执行等问题存在法律适用上的模糊或空白,这些为进一步完善法律规定提出任务.
