Bivariate income distributions with lognormal conditionals

In this paper, the most general bivariate distribution with lognormal conditionals is fully characterized, using the methodology proposed by [3]. The properties of the new family are studied in detail, including marginal and conditional distributions, regression functions, dependence measures, moments and inequality measures. The new distribution is very broad, and contains as a particular case the classical bivariate lognormal distribution. Several subfamilies are studied and a generalization of the basic model is discussed. Finally, we present an empirical application. We estimate and compare the basic model proposed in the paper with a classical model, using data from the European Community Household Panel in different periods of time.     

东盟与欧盟区域整合之比较

区域整合是当今世界发展的一种普遍现象,而东盟与欧盟的区域整合最引人瞩目。这两个组织尽管在成立的历史背景及其发展道路上存在着某些相似性,但是,由于东盟与欧盟在自然条件、历史传统、政治制度、经济制度和社会发展水平等方面所存在的巨大差异,它们的区域整合在深度和广度上都存在着明显的不同,特别是对建立超国家机构的不同态度,构成了东盟与欧盟区域整合模式的根本性区别。     

Is there a European social work identity?

The aim of this paper is to examine whether at this point in time the notion of a ‘European social work identity’ can be sustained. The paper commences with some brief consideration of theories of identity, and particularly draws attention to social constructionist identity theory, highlighting its focus on identity as a process. Ideas about what constitutes ‘collective identity’ are then examined. From this, two particular models of collective identity are presented which are helpful for understanding cultural identities. These are the more ‘traditional’ notion of collective culture being evidenced by the presence of shared histories and traditions, and the more social constructionist view of collective processes and action to form identities – whether imposed by the state or generated by the people – as constitutive of identities in themselves. ‘European identity’, and then ‘European social work identity’, will then be examined using these models of collective identity. The paper concludes that using social constructionist versions of identity (identity as a process of collectivisation), European social work identity can certainly be established.     

欧洲思想家对中国法律文化的认识

欧洲思想家主要对中国的专制主义制度及其刑罚、法律与道德的结合、中国衰落的原因进行了分析。尽管认识对象相同 ,但其所持观点和得出的结论又使他们分成两派。批判派认为中国政府的形式必然是专制主义 ,把法律与道德混在一起是极大的错误 ;辩护派则坚持与任何其他政府相比中国更接近于理想模式 ,中国人正是依靠道德政治获得了成功。需要注意的是 ,他们不约而同地提出个性自由的缺失导致东方大帝国悲壮落伍     

Nationalism and patriotism as determinants of European identity and attitudes towards the euro

The present study investigates national identity and European identity as determinants of attitudes towards the single European currency, the euro. It is assumed that support of the euro depends on a positive European identity which may be affected by patriotism and nationalism as different types of national identity. Sentimental and instrumental attachment to one’s own nation, and optimistic expectations about Austrian future are included as determinants of patriotism and nationalism. A sample of 318 participants completed a questionnaire. Results give evidence for impacts of national and European identity on the attitudes towards the euro.
