Assessment of a hybrid reform path: Social and labour policies in Uruguay, 1985–2005

Since Uruguay's return to democracy in 1985, a shift in economic and social policy has radically changed the country. The outcomes have been shaped by adjustment to international circumstances “by default”, stop‐go market reforms and the inconsistent pace and content of reforms. Unlike other countries in the region, Uruguay has not followed a resolutely neo‐liberal course, but rather a hybrid one. The end result has been a liberal labour regime coupled with a three‐dimensional social policy balancing the market, the old corporatist welfare State and the new welfare state targeting specific beneficiaries.     

Estimation of firm-specific technological bias,technical change and total factor productivity growth: a dual approach

This paper deals with modeling firm-specific technical change (TC), and technological biases (inputs and scale) in estimating total factor productivity (TFP) growth. Several dual parametric econometric models are used for this purpose. We examine robustness of TFP growth and TC among competing models. These models include the traditional time trend (TT) model and the general index (GI) model. The TT and the GI models are generalized to accommodate firm-specific TC and technological bias (in inputs and output). Both nested and non-nested tests are used to select the appropriate models. Firm-level panel data from the Japanese chemical industry during 1968- 1987 is used as an application.

Optimal designs for exponential regression

This paper is concerned with the optimal design problem for the particular case of non-linear parametrisation:the parameters to be estimated are included in exponents.Some properties of locally optimal designs as functions of estimated parameters are investigated and a table of such designs in given.We consider also designs to be optimal in the sense of minimax approach.     

Effects of population policy and economic reform on the trend in fertility in Guangdong province,China, 1975–2005

An analysis of data mainly from China's 1990 and 2000 censuses and 2005 mini-census shows how fertility decline between 1975 and 2005 in the province of Guangdong has been influenced by both fertility policy and economic and social development. Guangdong's development since 1975 has been very rapid and has attracted huge numbers of migrants from other provinces. The analysis of the province's fertility trend from 1975 shows clearly the influence of fertility policy on the trend. The analysis also shows that economic development has brought about large changes in population composition by urban/rural residence, education, occupation, and migration status, which, together with large fertility differentials by these characteristics, have contributed substantially to Guangdong's fertility decline, in large part through changes in proportions currently married.

儒学发展与中国古代文学思潮

儒学在其发展过程中出现过许多学术流派或学术思潮,以此为标志而呈现出明显的阶段性.儒学发展的每一段落,甚至包括其分化和遭到叛逆的段落,均对中国古代文学产生了广泛而深刻的影响,导致其时文学思潮、热潮或特定创作倾向的产生.这种情况可大致归纳为:孟、荀尚义劝学与宏辩文学思潮;两汉经学与大赋高潮;魏晋玄学与文学尚简嗜奇热潮;两宋理学与文学尚理倾向;明代理学发展与文学思潮的演变,具体表现为阳明心学与小说浪漫化思潮、泰州学派与小说世俗化倾向;清代乾嘉学风与小说炫耀才学热潮.作为中国传统文化中极重要的两个系统,儒学与中国古代文学的这种特定联系,成为中国古代文化发展史的重要现象,具有丰富的文化底蕴和文学理论蕴涵.
