在"三农"问题中,农民失地问题日显突出。农民失地的主要途径包括:利益集团非对称性的强占乱建失地,政府政策诱致的组织性失地,农业比较经济效益倾斜的自愿性失地。地权主体的失缺,失地补偿制度的不合理,利益集团的寻租行为,农民所处的信息劣势地位以及政府土地监管行为的不力,是造成农民失地的主要原因。解决农民失地问题,必须从明晰地权主体、创新补偿制度、约束寻租行为和提高农地收益等方面做好工作。

Public Attitudes Toward Siting a High-Level Nuclear Waste Repository in Nevada

This paper examines the sources of public opposition to a high-level nuclear waste repository among samples of 1001 residents of Nevada and a national sample of 1201 residents. Two models of choice are contrasted: A benefit-cost model and a risk-perception model of individual choice. The data suggest that the willingness of Nevada residents to accept a repository at Yucca Mountain depends upon subjective risk factors, especially the perceived seriousness of risk to future generations. Perceived risk depends in part on level of trust placed in the Department of Energy to manage a repository safely. Opposition to a local repository did not decrease significantly if compensation in the form of annual rebates, either ($1000, $3000, or $5000 per year for 20 years) were offered to residents. The public needs to be convinced before compensation is considered, that the repository will possess minimal risks to themselves as well as to future generations, and that the site currently targeted is suitable. One way to do this is through adoption of mitigation and control procedures such as strict federal standards and local control over the operation of the repository. The federal government should also consider returning to the fair procedure for selection between candidate sites specified in the initial Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982.
