Attitude–behavior consistency in household water consumption

The purpose of this paper is to examine how environmental attitudes and concern about water scarcity translate into water conservation behavior. The study considers whether Oregonians environmental concern measured by the New Environmental Paradigm scale and sociodemographic characteristics influence personal water conservation activities. Using a survey conducted in the spring of 2010 of Oregon residents, the interaction of environmental concern and sociodemographics that predict identified water conservation behaviors are considered.     

Trade policy in Palestine: A reassessment

The paper develops a CGE macro-model for Palestine, departing in three fundamental ways from the set-up applied in earlier studies. The present framework: (i) reformulates the modelling of fiscal policy in light of context-specific elements, including the absence of a government bond market and the incomplete transfer of revenues collected by Israel for the PNA; (ii) endogenizes private capital flows; (iii) postulates a demand-driven causality structure. Various policy scenarios are then assessed, with one crucial novelty: the overall effect of further trade liberalization turns out to be slightly contractionary, due to its fiscal implications.     

秦巴山区退耕还林与连片扶贫攻坚关联性互动机制探讨

因我国贫困地区和生态脆弱地区的空间分布具有高度一致性和重合性,决定了退耕还林与连片扶贫攻坚两项建设工程二者之间存在必然联系。二者存在原因上相近性、空间范围上重合性、目标上一致性、措施上相似性等关联性,有必要将两个工程的实施机构、政策、区域、产业进行整合,使两项工程政策之间协同产生聚合效应。二者之间建立互动机制具有可能性和必要性。     

私营企业主与政治发展：关于市场转型中私营企业主的阶级想象及其反思

当前私营企业主在中国政治生活中扮演了隐秘却愈具影响力的角色,现有研究从“没有资产阶级,就没有民主”的理论命题出发,探讨市场转型中中国是否出现了一个自主并与国家权力抗衡的社会阶层,由此,已有研究得出基本一致性的判断,由于私营企业主与国家之间共享政治价值和共享利益,中国出现的是一个依附于国家并与国家权力共谋的社会阶层。本文认为,现有研究立足于“私营企业主”在民主转型中角色的阶级想象,而过于关注私营企业主对于民主转型的影响,从而忽视了深入剖析和探讨私营企业主对于当代中国政策过程的影响。因此,深化当代中国私营企业主与国家关系及其政治影响的认识,需要从“民主转型”转向“政策影响”的主题。     

金融发展差异与货币政策区域效应——以华东六省一市为例

选取华东六省一市作为研究对象,运用因子分析方法研究2012年该7个省市金融发展情况及其差异,并对其金融发展相似性进行聚类分析。在此基础上,采用1990—2012年数据,对聚类后的三类地区通过基于VAR模型的协整关系检验、Granger因果关系检验等建立变量间长期均衡模型,实证研究货币政策在华东地区不同省市效应的差异性。研究结果表明:三类地区经济增长和货币政策对于区域金融发展均具有明显的区域效应,经济发展和广义货币供应量与金融发展均呈正相关关系。鉴此,提出如下政策建议:正视区域经济发展差异,实施差别化货币调控政策;优化各区域金融结构差异,改善货币政策传导效应等。     

A Tree-Structured Markovian Model of the Shipment Consolidation Process

This article studies the dispatch of consolidated shipments. Orders, following a batch Markovian arrival process, are received in discrete quantities by a depot at discrete time epochs. Instead of immediate dispatch, all outstanding orders are consolidated and shipped together at a later time. The decision of when to send out the consolidated shipment is made based on a “dispatch policy,” which is a function of the system state and/or the costs associated with that state. First, a tree structured Markov chain is constructed to record specific information about the consolidation process; the effectiveness of any dispatch policy can then be assessed by a set of long-run performance measures. Next, the effect on shipment consolidation of varying the order-arrival process is demonstrated through numerical examples and proved mathematically under some conditions. Finally, a heuristic algorithm is developed to determine a favorable parameter of a special set of dispatch policies, and the algorithm is proved to yield the overall optimal policy under certain conditions.     

关于“民工荒”下未返城农民工就业情况的调查研究——以江苏省盐城市盐都区为例

在金融危机之下,中国经济率先复苏,企业订单增加,用工需求增大,但此时出现了返乡农民工不再选择回到原来的城市、原来的岗位,使得大部分城市又出现了＂民工荒＂的现象。通过对盐城市盐都区的返乡农民工就业情况进行调查,分析了此次＂民工荒＂下未返城民工就业去向,旨在为有关部门辩证看待＂民工慌＂与＂民工荒＂问题,以及制定相关政策提供一定的依据。     

戈培尔宣传政策对我国新闻宣传工作的启示

分析了二战时期纳粹德国宣传工作的代表人物戈培尔法西斯主义欺骗宣传的社会背景及其宣传政策的实质。从这一反面典型中,我国的新闻工作者可以得到有益的启示,即新闻宣传工作应当坚持实事求是的作风,坚持党的领导和法制观念,坚持新闻来源的多元化,加强与受众的沟通,向各国展示我国友好的国际形象。     

曹魏集团对各少数民族的政策差异探微

东汉末年的军阀混战使得中原地区生灵涂炭,中原地区土地大量荒废,为了补充人口和增加兵源,曹魏集团顺应并加强了已有的少数民族内迁活动,但对各个少数民族采取了不同的政策。虽如此,其政策核心却是一致的——尽可能地使各民族为我所用,同时严防各民族势力壮大。     

流浪青少年犯罪的社会回归浅析

流浪青少年罪犯,作为我国犯罪团体中最为特殊的群体,在我国的犯罪中所占的比例越来越高,也越来越引起全社会的关注。本文在分析流浪青少年犯罪成因的基础上,对流浪青少年的社会回归,特别是社区矫正方法做了积极的探讨。
