Family Structure and Child Well‐Being: The Significance of Parental Cohabitation

Data from the 1999 National Survey of America's Families (N = 35,938) were used to examine the relationship between family structure and child well‐being. I extended prior research by including children in two‐biological‐parent cohabiting families, as well as cohabiting stepfamilies, in an investigation of the roles of economic and parental resources on behavioral and emotional problems and school engagement. Children living in two‐biological‐parent cohabiting families experience worse outcomes, on average, than those residing with two biological married parents, although among children ages 6–11, economic and parental resources attenuate these differences. Among adolescents ages 12–17, parental cohabitation is negatively associated with well‐being, regardless of the levels of these resources. Child well‐being does not significantly differ among those in cohabiting versus married stepfamilies, two‐biological‐parent cohabiting families versus cohabiting stepfamilies, or either type of cohabiting family versus single‐mother families.     

合同诈骗与合同纠纷的界定

随着市场经济的发展 ,利用合同进行诈骗日益增多。刑法虽设立了“合同诈骗”罪名 ,但由于在实践中 ,司法机关对合同纠纷与合同诈骗未能准确界定 ,使得一些合同诈骗犯罪嫌疑人逃避了刑事打击 ,在客观上削弱了刑法打击犯罪、维护合法权益的职能作用。从合同诈骗的犯罪构成、合同诈骗与一般合同纠纷的区别、合同诈骗的各种表现形式来界定合同诈骗与合同纠纷 ,以利司法实践     

Residential patterns of parents and their married children in contemporary China: A life course approach

This paper examines the residential pattern of parents and their married children in contemporary China. Using the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1991, 1993, 1997), the analysis shows that the residential pattern of parents and their married children is not a static phenomenon, but changes over the life span. The analysis provides evidence that parental residence often responds to changed circumstances over the life course, adjusting to the need of married children as well as that of their parents. It is found that childcare needs, death of one parent, and health status of parents all play important roles in transitions in parental residence.     

农村土地承包经营权确权登记颁证工作的现状及对策研究

2008年以来,农村土地承包经营权确权登记颁证试点范围逐步扩大,取得一批宝贵的经验和改革成效.但是,随着试点工作深入推进,实践发现在确权登记颁证准备工作中的几个操作难题、经营权期限的确定、增量土地的适用、土地经营权财产性功能挖掘等四个重点问题需要进一步厘清.如果能够有针对性分类解决操作问题,把农户的承包经营期限给予固定化、长期化,明确特殊情况下的调整情形,在此基础上,研究出台后续配套制度政策,对于增量土地逐步调整适用,探索丰富经营权实现形式,确权颁证登记工作的实效将得到进一步增强.     

“农业龙头企业+农户”模式中治理机制与农户续约意愿

提高农户续约意愿是“农业龙头企业+农户”模式长期稳定发展的基础。基于海南、湖北、江西、安徽、河南和陕西6省共552份农户调查数据,运用多元回归模型考察治理机制（正式契约治理和关系治理）与续约意愿的关系机理,并深入探讨市场不确定性对两种治理机制与农户续约意愿间关系的调节作用。结果表明：契约约束力和关系治理均正向影响农户续约意愿,契约包容性负向影响农户续约意愿;关系治理强化了契约约束力对农户续约意愿的正向影响,但对契约包容性和农户续约意愿间关系没有调节作用;市场不确定性负向调节契约包容性和农户续约意愿的关系,正向调节契约约束力和农户续约意愿的关系,但对关系治理和农户续约意愿间关系不存在调节作用。     

The challenges to the liberal trading system

Free trade has been a universally accepted economic tenet for almost two centuries. Despite challenges, Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage has proven to be one of the most enduring of all economic laws. In recent decades, however, the liberal trading system has come under increasing attacks in the form of strategic trade and industrial policies, the deindustrialization in advanced countries, rapid globalization and outsourcing, and others. This paper reviews each of these attacks and concludes that they do not justify abandoning or moving away from the general preference of a liberal trading system.     

罗马法夫妻财产关系的现代启示

在古罗马的家族形态从大家族到核式家庭的演变过程中,父（夫）权至上观念逐步向夫妻平等身份的关系过渡,诸如嫁资制、婚娶赠与制以及妻之特有产制等体现夫妻财产关系转变的特殊制度的发展即是明证。罗马法夫妻财产关系的变迁,揭示夫妻平等原则将成为后世夫妻财产制的核心原则。然平等原则在现代夫妻财产制的适恰安排,即是尊重夫妻的自愿意志,依循契约财产制基本形态下的＂封闭式约定为主、法定为辅＂的夫妻财产制二元模式。     

土地股份合作制:农业高新技术扩散的内生性制度保证

农业高新技术扩散是农业实现可持续发展的关键。我国现行家庭联产承包责任制由于产权不明晰、农户小规模经营等特点导致农户缺乏使用高新技术的主观动力和客观条件，农业高新技术扩散困难重重。土地股份合作制使土地承包经营权得以稳定，并有效推进农业劳动力向非农产业转移，为高新技术应用于农业创造了条件，成为农业高新技术扩散的内生性制度保证。

研究中国经济信用问题的一种思路——从现代契约理论角度进行的思考

从现代契约理论的角度分析了中国的经济信用问题,认为造成中国经济信用秩序紊乱的最根本的原因在于经济转轨时期产权不明晰导致的资金借贷契约非市场化,提出改善中国经济信用问题的最根本的措施在于培育资金借贷活动的市场主体,在此基础上,讨论了由于信息不对称引起的资金借贷活动中的逆向选择和道德风险问题,认为解决问题的思路应是建立和规范化运做信用中介机构,完善经济信用法规.
