论"公仆"意识——学习马克思论巴黎公社的政权建设及胡锦涛在西柏坡的讲话

马克思在总结巴黎公社的经验时 ,曾高度评价其政权建设的基本原则 ,并提出“公仆”这个概念。本文认为 ,是否具有“公仆”意识 ,实际上是无产阶级政权与一切剥削阶级政权的本质区别 ,而胡锦涛在西柏坡的讲话 ,则不仅体现了中国共产党“立党为公”、“执政为民”的宗旨和“三个代表”的重要思想 ,而且给“公仆”意识赋予了具有时代特点的内涵。文章分析了胡锦涛所强调的“权为民所用”、“情为民所系”、“利为民所谋”三者的内在联系以及当前在党政干部和公职人员中强化“公仆”意识的现实意义与存在的问题 ,并就相关问题提出了相应的对策     

‘Paradoxical’ decline? Another look at the relative reduction in female happiness

In a provocative paper, Stevenson and Wolfers (2009) provide evidence that women over the last several decades experienced an absolute and relative decline in happiness. The current paper draws upon novel data from the DDB Needham Life Style Survey to take another look at the evolution of women’s subjective well-being. In contrast to Stevenson and Wolfers, I find that men and women between 1985 and 2005 experienced similar decreases in life satisfaction. Furthermore, both sexes witnessed comparable slippages in self-confidence, growing regrets about the past, and declines in virtually every measure of self-reported physical and mental health. The data also show that men’s well-being in recent years has begun to fall more rapidly than that for women. In the final section of the paper, I present some initial evidence that the steady erosion in social and civic engagement, interpersonal trust, and financial security could be partially responsible for the widespread decline in subjective well-being over the past few decades.     

Transitions in the Labour Market: Discouragement Effect and Individual Characteristics

The present work analyses the unemployment gender gap in Italy for the period 2004–11. We present a methodology for decomposing the natural rate of unemployment, thus defining it in terms of equilibrium labour market flows between the aggregate states of the labour market (Employment, Unemployment, Inactivity). In addition, we offer estimates of the determinants of the unemployment gender gap to pinpoint the relative role of individual characteristics and structural factors in determining this difference.     

MATERIALS PRICES AND PRODUCTIVITY

There is substantial within‐industry variation in the prices that plants pay for their material inputs. Using plant‐level data from the US Census Bureau, I explore the consequences and sources of this variation in materials prices. For a sample of industries with relatively homogeneous products, the standard deviation of plant‐level productivity would be 7% smaller if all plants faced the same materials prices. Moreover, plant‐level materials prices are persistent, spatially correlated, and positively associated with the probability of exit. The contribution of entry and exit to aggregate productivity growth is smaller for productivity measures that are purged of materials price variation. After documenting these patterns, I discuss three potential sources of materials price variation: geography, differences in suppliers' marginal costs, and within‐supplier markup differences. Together, these variables explain 15% of the variation of materials prices.     

THE RISE OF THE EAST AND THE FAR EAST: GERMAN LABOR MARKETS AND TRADE INTEGRATION

We analyze the effects of the unprecedented rise in trade between Germany and “the East” (China and Eastern Europe) in the period 1988–2008 on German local labor markets. Using detailed administrative data, we exploit the cross‐regional variation in initial industry structures and use trade flows of other high‐income countries as instruments for regional import and export exposure. We find that the rise of the East in the world economy caused substantial job losses in German regions specialized in import‐competing industries, both in manufacturing and beyond. Regions specialized in export‐oriented industries, however, experienced even stronger employment gains and lower unemployment. In the aggregate, we estimate that this trade integration has caused some 442,000 additional jobs in the economy and contributed to retaining the manufacturing sector in Germany. This is almost exclusively driven by the rise of Eastern Europe, not by China. We also conduct an analysis at the individual worker level, and find that trade had a stabilizing overall effect on employment relationships.

马克思主义理论创新的集中体现

党的十六大报告是中国共产党在新世纪新阶段的政治宣言 ,是一篇集中体现理论创新的当代中国马克思主义纲领性文献。党的十六大报告所体现的理论创新主要表现在 ,明确回答了在新世纪新阶段我们党举什么旗、走什么路、实现什么目标的重大问题 ;将“三个代表”重要思想确立为我们党的指导思想 ;提出了“全面建设小康社会”的奋斗目标等方面。     

关于大学生个性特点的调查

为使学生工作更加具有科学性、针对性、预见性和实效性,同时为给学生建立心理档案,我们对国际交流学院全体学生进行了卡特尔16PF问卷调查。结果表明:不同性别、不同专业在乐群性、稳定性、有恒性和怀疑性等4方面存在显著差异,不同年级在有恒性、敏感性和怀疑性等3方面存在显著差异。     

关于取消北宁路驻兵权及收回兵营交涉的述评

190 1年 ,列强与清政府签订《辛丑条约》 ,取得了在北宁路沿线自北京至山海关 1 2处驻兵及建造兵营的权利。这一规定是对中国主权的严重侵犯和践踏。为了取消列强在北宁路的驻兵权和收回兵营 ,中国人民进行了长期不懈的斗争 ,并于 1 94 3年取消列强在华驻兵权 ,于新中国成立后收回兵营。列强在北宁线驻兵权及兵营的消亡从一个侧面反映了其在华势力由盛转衰直至最后消亡的历史过程     

论解放思想的主体性

解放思想是作为主体的人的一种自觉、能动的思想运动,要充分认识和全面把握当代中国思想解放运动的主体性特征及其规律与作用。现实的社会政治、经济、文化以及人们的认识水平、实践运动等客观因素和条件从根本上决定着,并多方面、多维度地影响和制约着思想解放进程中的主体性以及这一运动本身所能达到的程度与水平。要十分注意不断改善和优化社会现实环境,使之成为推动思想解放的源泉和动力,使作为解放思想运动的现实条件和客观基础的社会环境和实践运动与解放思想运动的主体性功能之间,互动发展。
