马克思经济价值批判解析

马克思的价值批判蕴涵着他对现代社会中人之生存的物化和异化状态的反思和批判,在马克思的《资本论》手稿中,他着重分析了交换价值带有资本主义社会历史特征的特殊性,指出交换价值形式是人的物化存在形式。在这种特殊历史条件下的货币(交换价值)制度,实质上反映了社会异化状态下的自由与平等的丧失。而作为价值总体的资本,反映的是资本与劳动之间以交换为形式产生的对立,而这种阶级对立的解决将是人的自由全面发展的社会条件之一。     

改革开放后我国经济增长与发展理论的演进轨迹

1978年以来,伴随着经济体制的转变和经济市场化的深入,我国的经济增长与发展理论自身也有了重要的发展。一方面我国学者在一定程度上历史地实现了理论研究范式的转换;另一方面初步形成了关于经济增长与发展理论的相对独特的研究内容与风格。这一理论的发展脉络可以简要概括为:速度理论→优先增长理论→增长方式理论→周期与波动理论,它说明我国经济发展理论逐渐由零散向系统化发展、由浅层次向深层次发展、由本土化向国际规范化发展的演变趋势。

理工院校金融专业实验室和实习基地建设的几点建议

理工院校金融专业的起步比一些专业性和综合性院校晚,其实验室和实习基地建设明显存在不足。为此,理工院校必须通过制定科学合理的规划,充分加强与领导以及外界企业的联系,学习和借鉴先进的经验、将"产、学、研"完美结合,这样才能实现良好的社会和经济效益。

生产技能教育是体现凉山彝族社会传统家庭教育的经济功能的主要特征之一,是教育直接作用于人类社会生产和经济生活的具体表现。这种技艺传授方式,至今仍为凉山彝族地区乡村农民家庭教育所广泛沿用,成为彝族地区经济发展、社会进步的重要手段之一。     

广东对外贸易与经济增长关系的协整分析

利用多种计量分析工具,从总量和增长效应的角度研究了广东进出口与GDP增长间的关系。研究发现:从长期来说,进口、出口与GDP存在唯一稳定关系,出口较进口对经济增长有更大的促进作用;从短期来说,进口增长、出口增长都是GDP增长的Granger原因,出口增长同时也是进口增长的Granger原因,进口增长、出口增长都带动了经济增长,而且进口增长比出口增长与经济增长有更稳定、更紧密的联系

Fringe benefits and income inequality

In this paper, we analyze the distribution of fringe benefits among workers and underline its implications for income inequality. To this end, we develop a positional approach to inequality based on the concept of rent as a potential link between positions and their rewards. We hypothesize that workers extract rent in the form of benefits in industries with worker leverage (in the form of unioniziation, internal labor market, and public employment) or share rent with firms in highly profitable industries that endure for efficiency wage reasons. On the basis of a unique dataset from Israel, we test these hypotheses by estimating the probabilities of obtaining benefits according to industries’ structural features while controlling for cross-industrial differences in workers’ demographic and human capital characteristics. The analyses reveal that benefits are determined by structural factors, representing a separate dimension of the rewards attached to positions, different from earnings. We further stress the importance of incorporating fringe benefits into inequality research, given that benefits together with earnings stratify workers and evidently signify structured positions in the economy.     

Economic design of acceptance sampling plans for truncated life test using Frechet distribution

In this article designing of acceptance sampling plans for the truncated life test is proposed using economic approach by assuming that the lifetime of a product follows Frechet distribution based on median. The optimal sampling plans to meet the consumer’s confidence level with minimum total cost are designed. Efficiency of the proposed plan is also analyzed.     

Electricity consumption and economic growth in Nigeria: Evidence from cointegration and co-feature analysis

The paper investigates the causality relationship between energy consumption and economic growth for Nigeria during the period 1980–2006. The results of our estimation show that real gross domestic product (rGDP) and electricity consumption (ele) are cointegrated and there is only unidirectional Granger causality running from electricity consumption (ele) to (rGDP). Then we applied Hodrick–Prescott (HP) filter to decompose the trend and the fluctuation components of the rGDP and electricity consumption (ele) series. The estimation results show that there is cointegration between the trend and the cyclical components of the two series, which seems to suggest that the Granger causality is possibly related with the business cycle. The paper suggests that investing more and reducing inefficiency in the supply and use of electricity can further stimulate economic growth in Nigeria. The results should, however, be interpreted with caution because of the possibility of loss in power associated with the small sample size and the danger of omitted variable bias that could result from the use of bi-variate analysis.
