论经济增长的驱动因素:劳动生产效率与产业结构——以江苏省为例

本文利用LMDI指数分解方法建立了人均增长率测算模型。该模型可以分析产业GDP结构、产业劳动力结构、产业全员劳动生产效率以及劳动力占总人口比重等因素对人均GDP增长率的影响。江苏省人均GDP增长率的实证分析,表明产业全员劳动生产率和产业结构是该省2010年实现人均GDP增长率200%的主要影响因素。     

国债收益率协整关系研究

通过对中国国债收益率与央票利率、基准利率和CPI的协整关系研究,揭示出我国国债市场的收益率走势与各宏观经济变量之间的互动关系。研究结果表明:在不施加任何约束的条件下,我国国债市场的风险长期来看是可以规避的,而国债与央票之间具有互动关系,二者的利率风险具有一定的互补性。     

我国经济欠发达地区农村社会养老保险制度的构建

与发达地区相比,我国经济欠发达地区农村养老保险发展十分缓慢,覆盖面极其有限。实际上,经济欠发达地区的农民最需要社会养老保险,因为他们的基本生活需求没有保证,这些地区未富先老特征更为明显,传统的保障功能在弱化。然而,源于农民收入低,增长慢,支付保险费的能力弱;集体经济薄弱,无法为农民养老保险提供资金支持;地方财力单薄,难以全面提供以政府为主的养老基金融资;经济欠发达地区农民获得社会养老保险能力又最弱。为此,应将经济欠发达地区农村社会养老保险作为建设覆盖城乡居民社会保障体系的推进重点,变政府扶持为财政拨款,并向经济欠发达地区倾斜;大力进行宣传教育,让农民充分了解参加社会养老保险的必要性。     

村民自治中“指导权”与“领导权”问题初探

村级公共权力是村级民主政治系统的核心要素,其稳定运行和有效行使对村级民主政治具有重要意义。村级民主政治系统运行过程中出现的诸多现象,可以从村级公共权力角度进行解释,制约村级公共权力运行的因素势必也是制约村级民主政治系统运行的因素。当前,“指导权”和“领导权”运行过程中出现的问题成为制约村级公共权力运行的首要原因。     

Generalized Augmentation to Control the False Discovery Exceedance in Multiple Testing

Abstract.  A new multiple testing procedure, the generalized augmentation procedure (GAUGE), is introduced. The procedure is shown to control the false discovery exceedance and to be competitive in terms of power. It is also shown how to apply the idea of GAUGE to achieve control of other error measures. Extensions to dependence are discussed, together with a modification valid under arbitrary dependence. We present an application to an original study on prostate cancer and on a benchmark data set on colon cancer.     

A clarifying comparison of methods for controlling the false discovery rate

Traditional multiple hypothesis testing procedures fix an error rate and determine the corresponding rejection region. In 2002 Storey proposed a fixed rejection region procedure and showed numerically that it can gain more power than the fixed error rate procedure of Benjamini and Hochberg while controlling the same false discovery rate (FDR). In this paper it is proved that when the number of alternatives is small compared to the total number of hypotheses, Storey's method can be less powerful than that of Benjamini and Hochberg. Moreover, the two procedures are compared by setting them to produce the same FDR. The difference in power between Storey's procedure and that of Benjamini and Hochberg is near zero when the distance between the null and alternative distributions is large, but Benjamini and Hochberg's procedure becomes more powerful as the distance decreases. It is shown that modifying the Benjamini and Hochberg procedure to incorporate an estimate of the proportion of true null hypotheses as proposed by Black gives a procedure with superior power.     

退休年龄对劳动参与率的影响

自1951年以来。中国的退休政策并未随着平均寿命、经济发展等情况的变化做出大的改变。每年有成千上万的老年劳动者,在其仍有劳动意愿和劳动能力的情况下,因为政策的规定离开工作岗位。过低的退休年龄使得我国的劳动参与率被潜在的低估,如果调整现行退休政策,将修正劳动参与率、减少“人口负债”期问题、缓解未来养老金收支失衡压力和挤压劳动力市场。     

中国生育率研究方法:30年回眸

改革开放30年是我国人口学及人口研究迅速成长的30年。生育率研究方法从一个侧面反映出改革开放以来我国人口学研究方法的发展。中国的生育率研究方法既有从西方引进的各种生育率指标和模型,也有中国学者为了适应自己的需要而改进和创建的方法和模型。笔者从生育率度量指标和生育率模型两个方面总结我国生育率研究方法的应用及变化。对在中国生育率研究中所使用的主要方法进行回顾并对这些方法对我国生育率研究的贡献进行总结。     

出生率变化对高等教育的影响研究

建国以来,我国出生率发生了重大转变,随着90年代以来人口出生率的逐年下降,我国高等教育将面临学生数量下滑趋势,未来高等院校将会出现生源不足的困境。但是,由于目前我国高等教育入学率还比较低,加之政府财政时高等教育支持的力度也还有很大提升空阅,因此,尽管出生率会不断下降,但对高等院校整体上生存不会受太大的影响。     

On analysis of binary response data in longitudinal factorial studies

Binary data are commonly used as responses to assess the effects of independent variables in longitudinal factorial studies. Such effects can be assessed in terms of the rate difference (RD), the odds ratio (OR), or the rate ratio (RR). Traditionally, the logistic regression seems always a recommended method with statistical comparisons made in terms of the OR. Statistical inference in terms of the RD and RR can then be derived using the delta method. However, this approach is hard to realize when repeated measures occur. To obtain statistical inference in longitudinal factorial studies, the current article shows that the mixed-effects model for repeated measures, the logistic regression for repeated measures, the log-transformed regression for repeated measures, and the rank-based methods are all valid methods that lead to inference in terms of the RD, OR, and RR, respectively. Asymptotic linear relationships between the estimators of the regression coefficients of these models are derived when the weight (working covariance) matrix is an identity matrix. Conditions for the Wald-type tests to be asymptotically equivalent in these models are provided and powers were compared using simulation studies. A phase III clinical trial is used to illustrate the investigated methods with corresponding SAS® code supplied.
