《 转运汉巧遇洞庭红》的商业解读

凌濛初<转运汉巧遇洞庭红>通过对金老汉藏财失财和文若虚随人出海,两次巧遇发财机会陡然暴富故事的描写,反映了明代中叶以后商业发展的具体场景,反映了关于相互需求的贸易原理和资本增殖的思想.通过文若虚形象的塑造,反映了作者经商和为人相统一的思想.从故事可知,明中叶后商业发展已经有了一定的规模和规范,但也还有一些不利于商业贸易更大发展的因素,如储运和金融手段的滞后等.     

Making ends meet: perceptions of poverty in Sweden

During the era after the Second World War, Sweden has built a welfare system based on labor market participation and income maintenance. Low unemployment and decent wages are supposed to guarantee people a labor market income or income maintenance, which in turn should provide a proper standard for everyone. However, a rapid increase in unemployment and economic problems have made the future of the Swedish welfare state more uncertain than ever. These circumstances have, among other things, led to the suggestion that Sweden should abandon the income maintenance policy and create a social policy system with the more limited ambition of guaranteeing everyone a minimum income. In that case, one central question must be answered: what constitutes a decent minimum income in today's Sweden? Where should we draw the poverty line under which people will not be forced to live? These questions are central in the current debate. The consensual poverty line method is used in this article to derive a poverty line relevant for today's Sweden. The results shows that more than every fifth household has an income below the consensual poverty line. That is, they have an income that most Swedes would argue is too low to make ends meet. The level of the consensual poverty line was compared with the National Board of Health and Welfare's guidelines for social assistance. The consensual poverty line was shown to be more generous to small households and the norm for social assistance was more generous to larger households. Finally, the expenditure for guaranteeing all Swedish household a minimum income equal to the consensual poverty line was estimated: more than SEK 25 billion per year. The results in the article casts serious doubt on the ability of the Swedish welfare state to secure a decent income to all citizens.

Who Gets What From Government? Distributional Consequences of Child‐Care Assistance Policies

Given the fragmented structure of child‐care assistance in the United States, it has been difficult to obtain accurate estimates of which families are assisted, through which mechanisms, and at what level. Making use of survey data from New York City, we analyze the distribution of several forms of public child‐care assistance. Results suggest that about 40% of all families with young children receive some form of child‐care assistance. Considering all forms of assistance, the distribution of child‐care help is targeted in both expected and some unexpected ways. Implications of these results are discussed in the context of U.S. child‐care policies governing access and benefit levels.     

金融信用与大生集团兴衰关系探略

晚清状元张謇在为大生纱厂招募股本时,由于个人资信度问题致使直接融资受挫,从而认识到信用在资本主义经济运行中的重要性,逐步确立起信用至上的理念。在大生的生产经营活动中,张謇坚决维护金融信用,使得个人和企业的资信度不断上升,成为大生走向繁荣的重要原因。近代金融业的“存迫讨”,导致张謇及大生因信用过度膨胀而陷入全面危机,这也是大生日趋衰落的潜因。     

论帝国的兴衰

随着民族国家的兴起,帝国的时代已经一去不复返。然而,人类进入文明社会后的绝大部分时间,却是在帝国政治中度过的。第二次世界大战后,随着帝国体系在全球范围内的彻底崩溃,帝国研究也被严重忽视。21世纪帝国研究再度受到关注,这既有弥补帝国研究不足的学术动因,但更有人类在全球化时代探索新的国际秩序的现实动因。历史上曾经出现过许多对人类文明产生深远影响的强大帝国,例如亚述帝国、波斯帝国、亚历山大帝国、罗马帝国、蒙古帝国、奥斯曼帝国、西班牙帝国和大英帝国等等。这些帝国持续的时间,长久者多达千年之上,短命者则只有区区十几年。帝国的产生和兴亡既要遵循一般的普遍规律,也有其各自具体的特殊原因。从普遍规律看,国家的军事力量、科技水平、综合国力、政治制度、战略决策、领袖品性、国民素质和地缘政治等,都是影响帝国命运的重要因素。     

节水生产行为、非农就业与农户收入溢出

将劳动力要素配置纳入分析框架是厘清粮食节水生产行为收入溢出机制的关键。基于河北、山东、河南540个粮食种植户调查数据,运用工具变量分位数、中介效应和门槛回归模型分析农户节水生产行为的收入溢出机制及异质性。研究表明：节水生产行为能够显著提升农户收入,且农业增收效应大于要素替代效应;节水生产行为的农业增收效应随农业收入水平提升而递增,即“马太效应”,其非农增收效应随非农收入水平提升而递减,即“重心转变效应”;本地非农就业在节水生产行为增收效应中发挥中介作用,外出务工部分遮掩了节水生产行为的收入提升效果;节水生产行为的增收效应随本地非农就业比例增加而上升,随外出务工比例提高而下降。因此,建议完善粮食节水生产的政策扶持与市场机制,引导非农劳动力合理有序就业,强化农村人力资本积累,进而推动农户持续增收。     

高校工薪所得税纳税筹划策略

房价波动、银行信贷与产业升级——基于银行信贷中介效应检验及区域差异对比分析

房价波动是影响产业升级的重要因素。阐述房价暴涨通过银行信贷中介效应传导机制对产业升级产生抑制作用,并基于全国大中城市2007-2016年面板数据,采用动态面板模型系统GMM估计法检验房价波动通过银行信贷中介效应机制影响产业升级。研究结果表明:第一,大中城市的房价过快上涨对产业升级产生负效应;第二,大中城市的房价过快上涨会增加房地产银行信贷需求,挤出了支持技术创新、产业升级的银行资金,从而抑制产业升级;第三,通过区域差异对比分析,东部大中城市银行信贷对房价波动与高新产业关系发挥中介效应,房价上涨通过吸收银行信贷挤出高新产业发展资金;中部大中城市房价上涨通过吸收银行信贷挤出第三产业发展资金;银行信贷没有对西部城市的房价波动与产业升级发挥中介效应。     

农户兼业、生产性服务与水稻种植面积决策——基于11省1646户农户的实证研究

本文基于全国11省1646户农户调研数据,构建实证模型分析了农户兼业、生产性服务与水稻种植面积之间的关系。结果表明,在兼业农户比重和平均兼业水平都很高的背景下,兼业导致的“劳动力流失效应”在纯农户和兼业农户的种植面积决策中均有所体现,并且在一兼农户中表现最为显著,而“投资效应”仅体现在纯农户的种植面积决策上。接受生产性服务有助于提高各类农户的种植面积,能够缓解种稻劳动力流失对种植面积造成的负面影响,同时能够缓解一兼农户农业收入比重下降对种植面积造成的负面影响。由此,加强粮食产业生产性服务体系建设、加大纯农户粮食生产补贴力度等是稳定我国水稻生产的重要举措。
