Residential mobility and the spatial dispersion of personal networks: Effects on social support

Using a representative national sample of personal networks, this article explores how the spatial dispersion of networks, residential mobility and social support are linked. Three issues will be addressed here. Firstly, how is the spatial dispersion of personal networks related to individuals’ social characteristics, network composition and residential mobility? Secondly, how do the spatial dispersion of networks, residential mobility and their combined effect influence the number and (thirdly) the structure of emotional support ties? Results showed that the extent of the support was affected neither by the geographical distribution of the networks nor by residential mobility. Living far from one's birthplace, however, exerted two distinct, and opposite effects on the support network structure. On the one hand, mobility led to high spatial dispersion of personal contacts, which in turn favored a sparsely knit network centered around the mobile individual. On the other hand, by controlling for the effect of distance between the contacts, we found that individuals that cited long-distance ties tended to be part of more transitive support networks than those that cited local ties. We interpreted the latter effect as evidence that transitive ties may survive greater spatial distances than intransitive ones. These findings are discussed in view of spatial mobility and social network research.     

驳精神损害赔偿限额论

精神损害赔偿的主要功能在于填补受害人因此而受到的损害,使其得到抚慰,以便能开始新生活。因此,精神损害赔偿应本着“全面赔偿损害”的原则,不能脱离实际人为地限定数额。     

对《合同法》第402条的再解读

从实体法角度来看,《合同法》第402条在法律适用上的漏洞,应以目的性扩张的方法完成漏洞之补充。其次,在仲裁程序中漏洞补充的实现也会遇到的一定的程序性障碍,应通过对仲裁规则的修改,达到解决这一问题的目的。     

论职业病病人的人身损害补偿与赔偿请求权--以《职业病防治法》第58、59条规定为中心

职业病病人的人身损害通常具有缓发性、不可逆等特质。《职业病防治法》第58、59条分别规定了工伤保险待遇给付请求权和人身损害赔偿请求权。工伤保险待遇在本质上属于人身损害补偿,如要实现损害之全部填补,职业病病人可以选择从契约关系、侵权行为、保险契约、法律之特别规定等视角,以仲裁或诉讼方式请求用人单位予以人身损害赔偿。     

论惩罚性赔偿制度及其立法建议

现代意义上的惩罚性赔偿制度是一种与补偿性赔偿、精神损害赔偿不同的承担责任的方式。随着中国起草民法典的深入,该制度也逐渐受到重视,适当加大惩罚性赔偿制度的适用范围,全面保护受损害方的合法权益。我国应全面建立起符合我国国情的惩罚性赔偿制度。     

离婚损害赔偿的伦理内涵与制度完善

离婚损害赔偿立法在我国已有百余年历史,从其发端于<大清民律草案>到其被界定于<婚姻法>修正案,均以婚姻自由、男女平等、夫妻诚信、人格尊严、公平公正为伦理内涵.探寻离婚损害赔偿的立法流程和制度架构,有助于廓清我国现行离婚损害赔偿制度的疏漏,为离婚损害赔偿立法的科学化和完备化奠定基础.     

Macroeconomic asymmetry in the Eurozone before and after the Global Financial Crisis: An appraisal of the role of the ECB

The launch of the euro in 1999 was assumed to enhance macroeconomic convergence among EMU economies. We test this hypothesis from a comparative perspective, by calculating different indices to measure the degree of macroeconomic dispersion within the Eurozone, the UK and the USA (1999–2019). We use common factor models to produce a single index for each monetary area out of different measures of dispersion. These indices can be used to inform on the degree of optimality of a monetary area. Our results show that macroeconomic dispersion in the Eurozone increased notably even before 2007 and it took significantly longer to return to pre-crisis levels, as compared to the UK and the USA. The paper shows the critical role played by the ECB’s asset purchases programmes in reducing macroeconomic divergences among EMU member states since 2015.     

征地过程中的退出意愿、受偿诉求与行为策略——基于被征地者视角的本土研究述评

进入经济高速增长期和社会快速转型期的中国,导致了被征地者这一焦点群体的迅速激增。作为征地制度改革和基层社会治理的重要承载体,该群体在征地过程中的退出意愿、受偿诉求与行为策略等问题已得到不少本土情景下的实证研究的重视,形成了一系列有影响的研究成果。围绕“退出意愿”,研究者提出了个体特征论、家庭结构论、空间区位论、发展期望论、身份锚定论、政策认知论六种理论假说。围绕“受偿诉求”,除了通常作为谈判之焦点的补偿数额,学者们也揭示出被征地者对于分配方案、程序正义、生存保障的诉求。围绕“行为策略”,研究者主要通过博弈模型、案例分析两种方法进行研究。尽管部分研究已经呈现了上述三个维度之间交融沟通的趋势,但三者各自为阵的孤立局面依旧存在。如何促成被征地者的类型知识、需求学说和行动理论之间的逻辑联结,揭示其中的内在机制,建立出一套整合性框架,应当成为下一步的精进方向。     

提高劳动报酬在初次分配中比重的几点思考

十七大报告提出要提高劳动报酬在初次分配中的比重,这对当前我国市场经济下收入分配体制改革具有重要指导意义。提高劳动报酬在初次分配中的比重,有利于贯彻按劳分配原则,有助于实现初次分配的公平性,有助于缩小收入差距,有助于增加劳动者的收入。要提高劳动报酬在初次分配中的比重,需要劳动者和政府顺应市场经济的要求共同努力。     

论刑事附带民事诉讼中的精神损害赔偿

我国现行法律对刑事附带民事诉讼中公民的精神利益保护不力,因此尽快确立刑事附带民事诉讼中的精神损害赔偿是非常必要的。完善刑事附带民事诉讼中精神损害赔偿制度,应将民法和刑法两极保护紧密相连,并要明确扩大精神损害赔偿的范围,扩大提起精神损害赔偿主诉的主体范围以及加害人的能力、赔偿数额等一系列相关问题。
