“武陵民族区”命名的价值取向及其意义——《李绍明民族学文选》巴文化研究的反思

武陵民族区概念的学术命名,是李绍明先生五十年西南民族学/人类学"理论与实践统一",运用历史方法的重要基础理论成果之一.重提《李绍明民族学文选》、解读"巴文化研究与地域文化"学理认识涉及到的历史方法学术关联.参考"武陵民族区"概念学术命名的价值取向,从武陵地域文化的民族学/人类学问题研究切入,可能寻找到创新问题原点;而"武陵民族区"作为一个特定的民族学/人类学概念学术命名的,服务于国家区域发展战略的核心价值取向,对于打开新世纪巴文化学术研究的新局面可能更有启发性.     

异质性技术视角下中国高技术制造业创新效率研究

目前,学术界对选取何种风险调整贴现率期限结构还存在争议,导致对同类投资项目得 出不同的管理指引意见． 针对这一争议,本文通过划分资本产出方式, 寻找影响贴现率结构的 主要因素． 研究表明,不确定的宏观经济产出和项目非系统风险共同影响风险溢价系数, 同时 风险溢价系数决定贴现率期限结构． 其中,当风险溢价系数大于某确定阈值, 贴现率随时间递 增; 其余情况表现为递减．     

Decomposition of the main effects and interaction term by using orthogonal polynomials in multiple non symmetrical correspondence analysis

The multiple non symmetric correspondence analysis (MNSCA) is a useful technique for analyzing a two-way contingency table. In more complex cases, the predictor variables are more than one. In this paper, the MNSCA, along with the decomposition of the Gray–Williams Tau index, in main effects and interaction term, is used to analyze a contingency table with two predictor categorical variables and an ordinal response variable. The Multiple-Tau index is a measure of association that contains both main effects and interaction term. The main effects represent the change in the response variables due to the change in the level/categories of the predictor variables, considering the effects of their addition, while the interaction effect represents the combined effect of predictor categorical variables on the ordinal response variable. Moreover, for ordinal scale variables, we propose a further decomposition in order to check the existence of power components by using Emerson's orthogonal polynomials.     

Dynamics of the term structure of interest rates and monetary policy: is monetary policy effective during zero interest rate policy?

The monetary policy targets the short rates; however, during zero interest rate policy (ZIRP), the short end of the yield curve cannot serve as a policy instrument. Relying on the joint yields-macro latent factors model, this study empirically examines the effect of monetary policy stances on term structure and the possible feedback effect on the real sector using the Japanese experience of ZIRP. The analysis indicates that it is the entire term structure that transmits the policy shocks to the real economy rather than the yield spread only. The monetary policy signals pass through the yield curve level and slope factors to stimulate the economic activity. The curvature factor, besides reflecting the cyclical fluctuations of the economy, acts as a leading indicator for future inflation. In addition, policy influence tends to be low as the short end becomes segmented toward medium/long-term of the yield curve. Furthermore, volatility in bond markets is found to be asymmetrically affected by positive and negative shocks and long end tends to be less sensitive to stochastic shocks than the short maturities. The expectation hypothesis of the term structure does not hold during the ZIRP period.     

汉字术语近代转换现象辨析——以“经济”、“形而上学”为例

清末民初以降,一批翻译西方概念的汉字新术语应运而生,其间多有成功之作,却也有失当的案例。有些本是内涵明确而稳定的古汉语词,在借以对译西方概念的过程中,既抛弃了该词的汉语古义,也未与西义确切对应,又不能从词形推导出新义。"经济"、"形而上学"便是两个使用频率甚高的误植译词。今天我们有必要追踪误植发生的轨迹,探讨其在何种历史的及文化的背景下失足,以便总结教训,利于当下及今后中外术语对译的健康展开。此一梳理、辨析工作,当为中国近代文化史研究的题中应有之义。     

The Role of the Social Worker in Long-Term Care

Abstract

Making use of a formulation by Rosalie Kane of the ingredients necessary to “a good life” for residents of homes for the aged and other long term care facilities, the role of the social worker in insuring the presence of these ingredients is discussed. Included is an analysis of the responsibilities and tasks of the social worker which must be carried and fulfilled in order that social workers make appropriate contributions to “the good life.”

高等教育大众化的体制性障碍与政策选择

我国高等教育发展除受制于经济发展的影响外 ,其滞后还源于传统体制性弊端。要想尽快进入高等教育大众化发展阶段 ,必须扫除其体制性障碍。因此 ,应根据现有状况把高等教育大众化政策分为近期和中长期政策。其中最主要的是适应社会主义市场经济特征 ,加大高等教育体制改革力度 ,重视教育的生产力属性和产业属性 ,并按经济资源特性区分高等教育资源 ,按照不同资源给予不同拨款方式 ,以实现高等教育资源的最佳配置     

论蒙古族亲属称谓所反映的民族文化现象

就如格里姆所讲 :“我们的语言也就是我们的历史。”语言能够比较全面而深刻地体现民族的特点 ,这是民族的其他特征所不能比拟的 ,透过现代语言 ,可探索出该民族不同时期的历史进程 ,特别是民族语言中的亲属称谓词和固定词语中所蕴涵的文化遗迹最为丰富 ,也最深刻
