西北民族地区城市社区建设中的各族居民参与研究

西部大开发的推进使西北民族地区城市社区建设进入了一个新的发展时期,可是城市社区建设中的各族居民参与现状却并不理想,具体表现在各族居民参与率低、参与主体差异性大、参与意愿不强、参与形式单一、参与程度不深等方面。本文根据西北民族地区城市各族居民对社区建设参与的现状,提出了应该培育各族居民的社区意识、建设社区内部的软硬环境、强化社区建设的力量以及优化社区外部软环境等建议。     

我国期货市场的现状研究

Households’ precautionary behaviors—the effects of the introduction of National Health Insurance in Taiwan

By reducing risk of large out-of-pocket medical expenses, comprehensive social health insurance may reduce households’ motivation to engage in precautionary behaviors such as saving, procurement of private insurance, and spousal labor-force participation. We use the natural experiment provided by the 1995 introduction of National Health Insurance in Taiwan to examine these effects, using pre-existing differences in access to health insurance (tied to the household head’s and spouse’s joint employment status) to identify the effects of increasing insurance coverage. We find that comprehensive health insurance has a statistically significant and large effect on household savings, but no significant effects on purchase of private accident insurance and spousal employment.

Influence of Satisfaction with Services on Assisted Living Resident Satisfaction

The purpose of our investigation was to provide insight into the service domains that most heavily influenced self-reported resident satisfaction among residents in assisted living facilities. Data was gathered from the 2008 Press Ganey Assisted Living Survey. Satisfaction with service domains was measured using 7 subscales addressing the areas of activities, staff attentiveness, meals, apartment space, facility attractiveness, personal issues, and management. Generalized linear mixed models were specified to assess the influence of demographics, functional status, self-rated health, and satisfaction with service domains on resident satisfaction. In the final multivariate model self-rated health, independence with laundry and finances, and satisfaction with aides, meals and management demonstrated a significant positive effect on resident satisfaction. As the number of assisted living facilities continues to increase, senior management would be wise to consider which domains of service are particularly salient in assisted living environments.     

透视我国储蓄、外汇"双溢出"现象

近年来在我国以利用外资促进经济发展的过程中,外汇、储蓄"双溢出"现象日益突出,这似乎有悖于传统利用外资"双缺口"理论.但是从深层次看,储蓄负缺口的出现主要源于我国储蓄--投资途径不畅通,随着经济体制改革的深入,金融市场的完善,这种不正常的负缺口会逐渐缩小;而在经常项目中,进口规模将呈增加趋势,出口则面临长期严峻考验,外汇负缺口也将趋于外汇收支平衡.这说明我国储蓄和外汇的"双溢出"既不能持久,也不反映现实资金供求状况.有鉴于此,在继续保持引进外资适度增长水平的同时,全面提高利用外资的质量和效益,对促进我国经济新一轮起飞有着重要意义.     

从居民主体行为审视宏观经济政策的绩效性

基于我国近年宏观经济运行中出现的各种矛盾现象,对宏观经济政策的绩效性提出了质疑。我国宏观经济中存在不充分就业、不完全竞争的市场价格、不公平税赋、不均等的社会福利和社会保障、不充分的财产权和契约关系。而这些缺陷的存在又都与宏微观经济不一致、宏观经济政策不重视居民主体的动机与行为有关。因此,应落实居民的市场主体地位与作用,宏观经济政策应着眼于对居民行为的规范与激励,这样才能提高宏观经济政策的绩效性。     

Predicting children's savings: The role of parents' savings for transferring financial advantage and opportunities for financial inclusion

Parents transfer many forms of advantage to children based on their financial resources. Of interest is whether parents transfer educational and financial advantages and whether this occurs early in life. This paper examines financial advantage by asking whether children's own savings—apart from that of their parents—can be predicted by a separate measure of parents' savings for their child. This study predicts children's basic and college savings at ages 12 to 15 with separate samples from low-to-moderate- (LMI; N = 333) and high-income (HI; N = 411) households using Panel Study of Income Dynamics and Child Development Supplement data. Propensity score weighting and logistic regression results find that parents' savings for their child is significant in both household types. Given this, policies that aim to include children in savings may help reduce transfers of financial advantage and, ultimately, educational advantage.     

基于千户调查的广州城乡居民基尼系数分析

根据广州统计年鉴资料和课题组千户调查数据,运用洛伦兹曲线的函数关系式模型,并借助回归方法估计模型参数,分别计算连续收入分布的基尼系数。研究发现：根据千户调查数据计算的广州市农村居民收入基尼系数为0.4170;广州市2011年城乡居民收入基尼系数为0.3495。这一计算结果优于根据统计年鉴计算的结果,并更符合实践和更具有解释能力。     

论存单的性质

目前我国立法既有认为存单是债权凭证的,也有认为是物权凭证的。相互矛盾的立法之实质是对“储蓄”能否作为民法上的“物”的不同理解。要解决这一问题,必须先决定我国物权法和民法典是采用以有体物为客体的德国模式,还是囊括所有财产利益的二元论模式。通过参考各国法律制度和研究社会经济生活的基本现状,认为我国选择有体物为限的德国模式更适宜。
