The U.S. mainstream expands – again

Building on neo-assimilation ideas, we conceptualise the ‘mainstream’ and then find compelling evidence of its expansion in the U.S. in the rising number of individuals who come from mixed minority–majority backgrounds. In terms of the contexts in which they are raised and their social identities and affiliations, on the whole they resemble whites more than they do minorities, and they marry whites at very high rates. Individuals who are partly black are exceptions to some of these patterns. We note an important similarity between this expansion and the one associated with post-World War II assimilation: both are connected with growing diversity of identity and ethnic expression in the mainstream. An equally important difference lies in the more modest magnitude of the current expansion. We close with a series of questions for future research raised by our argument.

A model of the Canadian global exchange rate: A test of the 1970s

A review of the literature indicates that no single exchange rate model has been able to track successfully the movements of the Canadian dollar for both the 1970–1976 period and the period thereafter. The purchasing power parity model, irrespective of whether based on relative wholesale prices, unit labor costs, GNP deflators, or export prices performs very poorly; the monetarist models collapse because of their strict adherence to the purchasing power parity and interest rate parity assumptions; the portfolio demand models require a significant adjustment for the post-1976 period. This paper presents a medium-term eclectic model of the global exchange rate of the Canadian dollar and examines a spectrum of broad issues that reflect on the efficiency of the foreign exchange market of Canada. These issues are basically related to the interest parity assumption, the role of speculation, and the test of rational expectations. The global exchange rate is defined as the value of the Canadian dollar measured in terms of a unit of basket of currencies comprising currencies of France, West Germany, Japan, the U.K., and the USA. The model belongs to the same genre of balance of payments structural models that explain the exchange rates by balancing demand and supply of foreign currencies. The model simultaneously explains both spot and forward rates, and it has been estimated and tested by using the quarterly data for 1971–1981.

公众外交：美国对外政策的重要工具

美国公众外交是指美国政府针对其他国家民众采取的对外宣传和文化交流活动。美国的公众外交有两个主要目标一是对外宣传美国的政策,特别是外交政策,目的在于赢得外国民众对美国的支持;二是使外国民众更好地了解美国的社会制度和社会文化,实质上是对外输出美国的价值观念和社会制度。美国公众外交的根本目的在于为美国对外政策服务,维护美国在世界上的霸权地位。

要素分配论及马克思的否定

按生产要素分配个人收入是市场经济的分配原则,西方经济学家斯密、萨伊、马歇尔等都论及按生产要素分配。马克思也曾分析过生产要素范畴。当今,人们对生产要素范畴有了更宽广的认识。在市场经济条件下,按生产要素分配是必然的。马克思作为无产阶级革命家,根据自己的研究任务和理论体系的内在逻辑,否定了要素分配论。

美国逼迫人民币升值的深层原因探讨——政治经济学视角

中国入世以来,中关双边贸易不平衡的问题逐渐突显出来,美国各界将贸易不平衡问题归咎于人民币汇率制度,认为中国政府操纵了人民币汇率,并纷纷要求政府敦促中国采取行动,调整人民币汇率制度,使人民币迅速大幅升值。从政治经济学视角剖析,美国各界有关人民币汇率问题和中美贸易不平衡问题的种种论断是荒谬的,国会议员不断逼迫人民币升值是出于维护美国在世界经济中权威地位的政治考虑。
