要素流动与区域非均衡发展

由于经济全球化和我国市场经济发展,充分发挥生产要素效率和调动生产要素积极性已成为难点问题。要素流动是区域经济这个中观经济问题的一个微观基础,与区域经济的非均衡发展有着密切的互为因果关系。从一国之内的区域合作与竞争角度研究要素流动,实现要素的区域优化配置,提高要素的配置效率,有重要的现实意义。

Training needs of extension agents’ regarding organic agriculture in Saudi Arabia

The purpose of this study was to investigate the needs of extension agents for training on organic agriculture (OA) in the Riyadh Region. Fifty-five percent (n = 69) of extension agents were selected to collect data through an electronic survey. Results indicated that extension agents in the Riyadh Region cited on job training as a main source for acquiring knowledge in OA. Agents expressed interest in receiving training in OA in general, OA marketing, and transitioning to OA. The most useful resources were field days at organic farms, OA training sessions at colleges, and attending OA trial plots. There were no differences in the level of interest in training; however, there were significant differences between individuals in terms of their experience in OA, job responsibility for providing information related to OA, and area of specialization in their job. This study recommends developing professional training programs based on the current knowledge of extension agents.     

高等教育与我国地区经济发展关系的实证研究——从人力资本存量的角度

本文从人力资本存量的角度考察了2004年我国高等教育与地区经济发展之间的关系。研究发现:(1)高等教育与当地经济发展存在高度正相关,但地理位置因素也会影响到其强弱。(2)高等教育对中部地区经济增长的促进作用最明显,京津及东部沿海地区次之,西部地区最低。(3)总体来看,高等教育对经济增长贡献仍然偏低。因此,应进一步加大高等教育投入,提高其对经济增长贡献。     

关于西部人才政策的几点思考

中部地区城市国际化战略路径探讨——以湖南省长沙市为例

城市国际化的兴起,是全球化向纵深演进过程中产生的一种"战略趋同"现象;只有从工业化、城市化和全球化不断演进的历史脉络和理论经纬中,才能比较准确地把握"城市国际化"的本质内涵。经济全球化的新态势既给中部省会城市国际化带来不利影响又提供了良好机遇,中部省会城市国际化的目标定位在于有效嵌入全球城市体系并成为中部地区参与全球化的平台,通过大力实施区域一体化战略、产业国际化战略、优势领域创新战略和城市国际营销战略提升城市国际化水平。     

Models for measuring and benchmarking olympics achievements

As demonstrated in several recent studies, data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a useful tool for evaluating and comparing the performance of nations competing in the Olympic Games. Assurance regions (ARs) have been used to further refine the DEA results. These AR DEA models assume that ARs apply uniformly across all nations. Such models can have shortcomings in the sense that different nations may impose different ARs, as nations may value gold, silver, and bronze medals differently. This paper extends previous DEA studies by incorporating multiple sets of nation-specific ARs into the DEA. By doing so, we establish fair models for measuring and benchmarking the performance of nations at six summer Olympic Games.
