Profit-oriented productivity change

This study develops an applicable profit-oriented productivity indicator when producers pursue profit maximization and can recognize input and output prices. We define the indicator, inspired by the Luenberger indicator and the Nerlovian efficiency measurement, in terms of both quantity distance functions and profit. Hence, the study׳s first stage decomposes the profit-oriented productivity change into two terms: profit efficiency change and profit technology change. Second, we decompose profit efficiency change into the changes in technical efficiency and allocative efficiency. Finally, profit technology change is separated into two components for capturing the shifts of technology and relative output/input prices. These decompositions provide a more complete picture of the sources of productivity change. We illustrate them with a sample of Taiwanese banks and compute the results using the models of directional distance functions.     

试谈生命教育的“生活世界”视阈

生活世界成为个体生命存在的真实根基。生命教育作为个体生命存在的肯定和生命价值追寻的教育,必须立足于生活世界并通过生活世界呈现出来。因此,生命教育应该立足于生活、回归生活,在感性的生活中感悟生命、体验生命、敬畏生命。这样,生命教育就不再是一种说教,而是心灵之间的交流,生命之间的互动。     

Managing green productivity: Some strategic directions

The twentieth century has been the hallmark for managing total productivity, where the emphasis is towards maximization of outputs commensurate with the consumption of inputs. This is being challenged now to evolve the world class manufacturing strategy requiring a paradigm shift. This shift is towards green productivity, which looks forward to socially appropriate production and consumption aiming at value innovation and resource conservation. This paper is an attempt to outline the concepts and experiential learning about green productivity.     

论维吾尔古籍《福乐智慧》的性健康思想

为了探掘维吾尔古籍《福乐智慧》中蕴含的性健康思想,采用文献研究方法,以探讨维吾尔民族中世纪的健康思想与行为准则。结论认为《福乐智慧》主张“性繁衍”的民族发展思想,提倡“性节欲”的养生思想,强调“性理智”的调控思想。该书同时也是一部维吾尔民族发展史上具有性健康启示意义的经典之作。     

社会主义荣辱观与“好学近知,力行近仁”

树立社会主义荣辱观是社会治理的经济目标与道德伦理目标、文明社会目标和谐互动的根本要求和重要体现。在高校大力开展社会主义荣辱观教育,对于培养社会主义建设者和接班人具有重大现实意义。吉林师范大学的校训“好学近知,力行近仁”,正体现了一种求真创新、为人师表、追求卓越人生的精神。把社会主义荣辱观教育与弘扬校训精神有机结合,切实推进和加强思想道德建设,把社会主义荣辱观内化为师生员工的自觉行为和基本道德感情,让社会主义荣辱观在师生心中扎根,从而为中华民族的伟大复兴做出应有的贡献。     

Nondestructive creation: Entrepreneurship and management research in the study of growth

Economists’ focus on institutions in explaining economic growth, while important, can obscure the significant role played by individual entrepreneurs and the process of entrepreneurship. The prevailing view of entrepreneurship in economics (which continues to shape prevailing public policies) centers on Schumpeter's famous concept of “creative destruction.” In the context of sustained high levels of economic growth, as in the recent American experience, I focus on a different feature of entrepreneurship—“nondestructive creation,” in which the uncoordinated contest of ideas and search for new applications of existing ideas generate growth. And this nondestructive creation should be analyzed and can be fostered.     

生产力跨越式发展的社会支持

在全面建设小康社会的重要时期,推进生产力的跨越式发展无论对于生产力发展本身还是对于社会整体发展都具有战略意义。生产力的跨越式发展需要各种社会条件的综合支持。一定阶段的经济、政治和文化要素分别作为社会经济条件、政治条件和文化条件对生产力的跨越式发展发挥着不同的功能。要真正理解生产力跨越式发展战略实施的内在机制,就必须在更广阔的社会哲学的视野内对其进行社会综合分析。     

我国农业、农村经济发展历程的经济学思考

建国以后,在我国农业和农村经济曲折的发展过程中,生产力要素配置规律起了决定性的作用。土地改革,农业合作化,八十年代农业经营方式的改革,其效果都因是否遵循生产力要素配置规律而明显不同。回顾农业、农村经济发展的历程,违背生产力要素的配置规律,是造成我国农业长期落后和农村贫困的主要原因。目前,我国的二元社会、经济结构及由此带来的破坏生产力要素配置规律的种种因素仍在起作用。

本文认定丁润生著<顺应自然超越时空的无元思维>是"奇文",是"思维的一次大综合,象钱学森的大成智慧","要合各类不同思维于一心".在分别评述其"空元思维"、"时元思维"和"无元思维"后,也指出丁文有"唯自然主义"倾向.末了,还简介了他本人所倡导的"实践的唯心主义"和"心元思维".     

Estimation of Current-Quarter Gross National Product by Pooling Preliminary Labor-Market Data

Two methods of using labor-market data as indicators of contemporaneous gross national product (GNP) are developed. The establishment survey data are used by inverting a partial-adjustment equation for hours. A second GNP forecast can be extracted from the household survey by using Okun's law. Using preliminary rather than final data adds about .2 to .4 percentage point to the expected value of the root mean squared errors and changes the weights that the pooling procedure assigns to the two forecasts. The use of preliminary rather than final data results in a procedure that assigns more importance to the Okun's-law forecast.
