政府增长过程中的经济增长与市场成长

在公共行政体制下,政府增长无论是公共支出增长、政府机构膨胀、政府雇员增加还是政府立法增多,反映的都是政府公共权力的增长.政府公共权力的增长扩张了公共利益的范围,扩大了政府提供公共物品能力及社会监管力量.政府增长体现的是一种秩序性力量的增长,它与市场成长共同根植于经济活动的日益专业化中,两者存在着内在关联.政府增长促进了市场成长,进而也推进了经济的持续增长.     

彝族古籍文献《苏巨黎咪》的秩序观念建构

彝族古籍文献《苏巨黎咪》产生于唐朝初至中叶,记述了从上至君长到下至百姓的各种传统道德观念,蕴含着对秩序观念的建构,是彝族传统文化的重要载体。其主要内容可归结三个层面：强调君臣关系下的忠臣观念;以君主为主体的尚贤爱民的治理观;孝悌亲友、崇祖敬毕的和谐观及爱美向善的仁义观。该书是作者通过对儒家文化的学习以及有选择性地吸收和融合的产物,体现出作者出于维护统治者利益的、对稳定社会秩序的追求,把下层和上层、边缘和主流联系了起来,增强了族群凝聚力和认同感,维护了君长统治和社会稳定,推动了当时彝族社会的良性转型和健康发展。     

社会网络交往与政治信任——基于JSNET数据的实证分析

文章使用2009年八城市"社会网络与职业调查"数据,考察了当前中国大城市居民的政治信任状况,并在此基础上探索个体网络交往和公共参与交往对居民政治信任水平的影响。实证分析发现,春节拜年网和社交餐饮网指标对政治信任水平无影响关系甚至存在负面影响,但是对于公共事务的关心程度和社团参与程度,与政治信任水平存在正向关系。因此,发展社团组织、鼓励群众关注公共事务,是提升城市居民的政治信任的有效渠道。     

“互联网+”助推民营经济发展路径探析

在“互联网+”时代,新技术迅速发展,各种信息变得更为透明,民营经济若想充分利用现有资源,探索出适合企业的发展路径,就必须充分利用好互联网平台,将互联网与企业深度融合,充分发挥“互联网+”中“+”的作用。但是由于在利用互联网探索发展路径的过程中,存在领导层网络意识淡薄、难以改变旧有的商业模式、构建网络平台能力差、与合作企业之间存在信任短板等方面的问题,导致在平台利用上缺少一定的条件。在这种情况下,民营企业要充分认识“互联网+”,并且抓住机遇,融入“互联网+”的大潮中,树立互联网思维模式,努力构建网络信息中心平台,提升民营企业互联网接入水平,政府也应搭建相应的网络平台促进民营经济转型升级。     

New evidence about effects of reproductive variables on child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa

There is still considerable uncertainty about how reproductive factors affect child mortality. This study, based on Demographic and Health Survey data from 28 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, shows that mortality is highest for firstborn children with very young mothers. Other children with young mothers, or of high birth order, also experience high mortality. Net of maternal age and birth order, a short preceding birth interval is associated with above average mortality. These patterns change, however, if time-invariant unobserved mother-level characteristics of importance for both mortality and fertility are controlled for in a multilevel–multiprocess model. Most importantly, there are smaller advantages associated with longer birth intervals and being older at first birth. The implications of alternative reproductive ‘strategies’ are discussed, taking into account that if the mother is older at birth, the child will also be born in a later calendar year, when mortality may be lower.

Visual Mao Zedong and new world order

This study explores the ideological contentions about peace behind the contrasting projections of Mao Zedong’s images, especially his standard portraits, and photos of him and Western leaders (including those of the Soviet Union directly or indirectly). The analyses focus on the complicated spectatorship of Mao Zedong’s images in the international activisms that were intended to change the political power structure of the world. This involves the contradictory visualisations from both the socialist and capitalist ideologies. From Nixon’s visits to Mao Zedong and Gorbachev’s visit to the Portrait of Mao Zedong in the 1989 student movement, the concepts of nationalism and internationalism, new world order, and Mao Zedong’s theories of contradiction and three worlds are examined to better understand the visual realities of ‘peaceful evolution’.     

On extreme order statistics from heterogeneous beta distributions with applications

This paper treats the problem of stochastic comparisons for the extreme order statistics arising from heterogeneous beta distributions. Some sufficient conditions involved in majorization-type partial orders are provided for comparing the extreme order statistics in the sense of various magnitude orderings including the likelihood ratio order, the reversed hazard rate order, the usual stochastic order, and the usual multivariate stochastic order. The results established here strengthen and extend those including Kochar and Xu (2007 Kochar, S.C., Xu, M. (2007). Stochastic comparisons of parallel systems when components have proportional hazard rates. Probab. Eng. Inf. Sci. 21:597–609.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), Mao and Hu (2010 Mao, T., Hu, T. (2010). Equivalent characterizations on orderings of order statistics and sample ranges. Probab.

A real application in system assembly and some numerical examples are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results.     

Generalized Kerridge’s inaccuracy measure for conditionally specified models

Recently, conditional Renyi’s divergence of order α and Kerridge’s inaccuracy measures are studied by Navarro et al. (2014 Navarro, J., Sunoj, S.M., Linu, M.N. (2014). Characterizations of bivariate models using some dynamic conditional information divergence measures. Commun. Stat. Theory Methods 43:1939–1948.[Taylor &; Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). In the present article, a generalized dynamic conditional Kerridge’s inaccuracy measure is introduced, which can be represented as the sum of conditional Renyi’s divergence and Renyi’s entropy. Some useful bounds are obtained using the concept of likelihood ratio order. The results are extended to weighted distributions. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the monotonicity of the proposed measure. Characterizations for bivariate exponential conditional distribution are presented based on the proposed measure.
