Identifying and Troubleshooting Link-Resolution Issues with ILL Data

Troubleshooting when a link resolver goes wrong can be difficult as it usually relies on the user to report the problem. Using data on interlibrary loan requests that have been cancelled because the materials are available online is one way that libraries can examine where link resolvers may be failing. For the 2012/2013 school year, the Samford University Library looked at this cancelled interlibrary loan request data to determine where their new link resolver and knowledgebase needed further customization to improve the user experience. This process not only identified a number of problems all along the link resolution chain, but it also put in place an ongoing process for identifying and troubleshooting link resolution issues in the future.

论消费税的宏观调控功能与我国消费税法的完善

消费税作为税收的一种,与其中央税一样具有很重要的宏观调控功能。但是,消费税的这种功能在现行相关法律规范中并未得到很好的体现与落实,从而导致其宏观调控功能没有得到很好的发挥。要改变这种现状主要靠消费税法的完善,即制定消费税法,并将现行相关规范的内容作相应的调整。

传统外贸贡献计算方法的反思及改进

传统的外贸贡献计算方法割裂了各经济变量之间的联系，没有充分考虑出口对国内消费和投资的影响，因而，这一方法存在低估外贸对我国经济增长的作用的倾向，有鉴于此，章在充分考虑各经济变量之间的内在联系的基础上，构建一个联立方程组以重新估算外贸对我国经济增长的贡献程度。     

SEPARATION, WEAK EXOGENEITY, AND P-T DECOMPOSITION IN COINTEGRATED VAR SYSTEMS WITH COMMON FEATURES

The aim of this paper is to study the concept of separability in multiple nonstationary time series displaying both common stochastic trends and common stochastic cycles. When modeling the dynamics of multiple time series for a panel of several entities such as countries, sectors, firms, imposing some form of separability and commonalities is often required to restrict the dimension of the parameter space. For this purpose we introduce the concept of common feature separation and investigate the relationships between separation in cointegration and separation in serial correlation common features. Loosely speaking we investigate whether a set of time series can be partitioned into subsets such that there are serial correlation common features within the sub-groups only. The paper investigates three issues. First, it provides conditions for separating joint cointegrating vectors into marginal cointegrating vectors as well as separating joint short-term dynamics into marginal short-term dynamics. Second, conditions for making permanent-transitory decompositions based on marginal systems are given. Third, issues of weak exogeneity are considered. Likelihood ratio type tests for the different hypotheses under study are proposed. An empirical analysis of the link between economic fluctuations in the United States and Canada shows the practical relevance of the approach proposed in this paper.

浅析近代上海摊贩存在和发展的历史条件

近代上海摊贩人数众多,行业分布广泛。作为一种古老的商品交易形式,摊贩之所以能在号称国际化大都市的近代上海继续存在和发展决非偶然,首先,城市人口的增多和市民消费水平的多层次化为摊贩的存在和发展提供了条件。其次,城乡二元经济结构的不断强化,加速了农村自然经济的解体和摊贩队伍的扩大。第三,开埠以后"重商主义"价值观念的驱使,也是近代摊贩不断发展的一个主观原因。     

The Farmhouse Joy (nongjiale) Movement in China's Ethnic Minority Villages

In China, establishments known as ‘Farmhouse Joy restaurants’ (nongjiale) which originally emerged around the suburbs of big cities and were associated with the foodstuffs of ethnic majority Han Chinese farmers, have now, as a result of a variety of development projects and local initiatives, emerged in ethnic minority and other remote villages located deep in the mountains. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in villages in Hubei and Yunnan provinces, this study examines how a new conception of ‘original ecology’ has played a dynamic role in the transformation of these nongjiale in ethnic and remote areas. This transformation results from a new symbolic synthesis and rapprochement between what are commonly understood to be ‘farmers' foods’, desires to experience an original ecology and understandings of ethnicity in China, a synthetic construction clearly aimed at attracting urbanite consumption. Important differences have emerged between villages participating in this process of synthesis. Those villages with strong claims to ethnic minority status have to carefully convert what are in fact ethnic foods into what are seen as ethnically unmarked ‘farmers' foods' in their nongjiale, while villages without such ethnic backgrounds paradoxically have to construct artificial ethnic symbols by mechanisms of imitation or pretence.
