关于完善农村医疗保障体系的探讨

农村医疗保障是保障农村社会稳定、促进农村经济发展的大事,是建设和谐社会、贯彻落实以人为本的科学发展观和新农村建设的题中应有之意。在中央的制度设计中,农村医疗保障体系主要体现在新型农村合作医疗制度上。新型农村合作医疗从试点至今,取得了巨大成就;但因其存在重治轻防、对贫困人口保障不足等制度缺陷,仅凭该制度自身无法完全撑起农村医疗保障的全部任务。本文试将农村初级卫生保健和农村医疗救助引入,与新型农村合作医疗一起,三者共同构成完善的农村医疗保障网,以求能更好的满足农村居民的医疗保障问题。     

Benefit dependency: The pros and cons of using “caseload” data for national and international comparisons

Policy‐makers in advanced welfare states have increasingly expressed concerns over large numbers of working‐age people claiming social security support. Accordingly, policies aimed at reducing the level of “benefit dependency” have gained prominence. However, such policies rest on shaky empirical evidence. Systematic collections of national “caseload” data are rare, social security programmes overlap and administrative categories vary over time. The internationally inconsistent treatment of national transfer programmes provides a further challenge for cross‐national comparisons. This article first identifies and discusses several of these problems, and ways in which they may be addressed. It then employs administrative claimant data from six European countries as a way of illustrating trends over time and across countries. The underlying aim is to explore the scientific potential of benefit recipient numbers as an indicator for welfare state change over time and across countries.     

The Case against Commercial Antivirus Software: Risk Homeostasis and Information Problems in Cybersecurity

New cybersecurity technologies, such as commercial antivirus software (AV), sometimes fail to deliver on their promised benefits. This article develops and tests a revised version of risk homeostasis theory, which suggests that new cybersecurity technologies can sometimes have ill effects on security outcomes in the short run and little-to-no effect over the long run. It tests the preliminary plausibility of four predictions from the revised risk homeostasis theory using new survey data from 1,072 respondents. The estimations suggest the plausible operation of a number of risk homeostasis dynamics: (1) commercial AV users are significantly more likely to self-report a cybersecurity event in the past year than nonusers, even after correcting for potential reverse causality and informational mechanisms; (2) nonusers become somewhat less likely to self-report a cybersecurity event as the perceived riskiness of various e-mail-based behaviors increases, while commercial AV users do not; (3) the negative short-run effect of commercial AV use on cybersecurity outcomes fade over time at a predicted rate of about 7.03 percentage points per year of use; and (4) after five years of use, commercial AV users are statistically indistinguishable from nonusers in terms of their probability of self-reporting a cybersecurity event as perceptions of risky e-mail-based behaviors increase.

我国城乡二元社会医疗保险体系衔接探析

我国城乡社会医疗保险体系有着明显的二元化特征。二元社会医疗体系曾有其积极作用,但随着改革的深入与社会转型,这种体系的固化使城乡统一的社会医疗保障体系的建立变得相当困难。今后我国的医疗保险制度改革应从城乡有机衔接的立场出发,根据我国社会转型的实际并借鉴国际成熟经验,循序渐进扩大现代社会医疗保险的覆盖面,在我国建立全方位、多层次、城乡有机衔接的社会医疗保险体系,最终实现“国民皆医保”的城乡整合,使城乡居民能够实质平等地分享国家经济与社会发展的成果。

霸权稳定模式与东北亚合作安全机制

美国是霸权稳定模式的积极倡导者.冷战结束后,美国为了维护在东北亚的利益,通过不断加强其同盟体系、介入地区安全事务以及发展与地区非同盟国的安全联系等方式,企求建立起以霸权稳定模式为基础的政治、安全秩序.而与此同时,东北亚不断变化的地区形势使这一模式日益显现出其局限性."合作安全"作为一种新型的多边安全机制,适合东北亚地区的特点,能够有效地弥补霸权稳定模式的缺陷,必将在未来东北亚安全问题中发挥日益重要的作用,并有可能成为维持地区安全与稳定的主导模式.     

关于加强社保基金审计监督工作的思考

社保基金被视为退休职工的“养命钱”必须专款专用,不可乱动。近年来,在一些地方和单位竟产生了瞒报、少缴社会保险费,骗取或违规支付社会保险金等现象。为强化社保基金管理,确保安全,维护社会的稳定,必须加强社保基金审计监督;审计监督不到位是导致我国社保基金流失,损失的主要病因。
