博弈论视角下的"辛酉政变"与晚清政治格局

博弈论为我们研究历史提供了一个非常独特的、新颖的方法工具.在"辛酉政变"中,对阵博弈的一方是慈禧与奕訢领导的帝胤贵族,另一方是以肃顺为首的的宗室贵族;前者是君权的化身,后者是相权的代表.在这个过程中,西方列国介入"辛酉政变"参与博弈,并且在其中扮演了极其关键的角色,甚至起到指导性的引领作用.因此,"辛酉政变"在国内,表现为君权与相权的博弈;在对外关系上,则是妥协与固守的博弈.各方势力博弈的结果,由于慈禧、弈訢集团与西方列国的利益共存,使双方最终走上妥协与合作,从而达到晚清政治格局博弈的一种纳什均衡状态.

定义与系统:中国哲学与西方哲学之别与结合的可能性

本文将西方哲学与古典中国哲学所重视的方向做比较。我们发现,除了墨家之外,中国古典哲学不那么重视定义,反而重视成语的使用以及思想家的高智灵感,知道在某场合中如何使用适当的语言来诠释。西方哲学重视系统的传统与印欧系语言有密切关系。西方哲学重视某物的单独存在,中国哲学则重视物与物之关连;西方追求某物的明确定义才讲它与万物的关系,中国哲学则从流动的道或太极图把物与物的彼此互相关系当作某物的不能缺乏的因素。不过,近代西方哲学已不追求定义与系统,同时张岱年先生与其它中国哲学家愿意使用定义和系统来诠释中国哲学。中西方哲学两者的碰面对哲学界有独特的贡献。     

To what extent is social security spending associated with enhanced firm-level performance? A case study of SMEs in Indonesia

Although the relationship between social protection and enterprise performance is much debated in the literature, evidence is particularly limited in the case of small and medium-sized enterprises in developing economies. Using census data from 2010 to 2014, this article examines how the provision of social security influenced business performance in Indonesia. The author finds that increased social security spending of 10 per cent is associated with a per-worker revenue gain of up to 2 per cent. Moreover, profits are not found to decrease with increased social protection coverage, suggesting that increasing worker benefits may be a worthwhile business investment.     

展示与对话 ——中国当代文论发展的另一种选择

“五四”以来,以诗文评为体系的中国传统文论基本退出了文本阐释的场域。西方话语的大面积空降,在推进中国文论建设的同时,日益影响着中国文论的自主创新式发展,消解着可能的学理话语的分享式革新。中国传统文论的当代失语是时代发展和中西互通背景下的使然现象,但如果我们一味地执着于西方话语,沉迷于“普世”的理论,带来的将是比民族话语失声更严重的精神殖民。为此,我们需要积极有效地“展示”自身的传统文化精华,倡导中西方文化间进行平等和谐的“对话”,建构独具中国特色的美学话语与文论体系。

Secondary school dropout and work outcomes in ten developing countries

This paper analyzes the impact of secondary school dropout on the work outcomes of young people in ten developing countries. Understanding such a phenomenon is important because it may affect work prospects, exacerbate income inequality and determine macroeconomic lasting effects given that the formation of a skilled workforce is a key element of economic development and growth.When accounting for endogeneity, we find that secondary school dropout decreases the probability of being employed in non-elementary occupations, suggesting that unskilled workers fail to meet the increasing demand for a skilled workforce. Secondary school dropout, indeed, hinders the accumulation of adequate levels of human capital and anticipates entry into the unskilled labor market.Thus, policy-makers should aim at the extension and efficacy of compulsory education to the secondary level to avoid future under-education problems to promote a skilled workforce and encourage economic development and growth in the long run.     

Early-life mortality clustering in families: A literature review

Research on early-life mortality in contemporary and historical populations has shown that infant and child mortality tend to cluster in a limited number of high-mortality families, a phenomenon known as ‘mortality clustering’. This paper is the first to review the literature on the role of the family in early-life mortality. Contemporary results, methodological and theoretical shortfalls, recent developments, and opportunities for future research are all discussed in this review. Four methodological approaches are distinguished: those based on sibling deaths, mother heterogeneity, thresholds, and excess deaths in populations. It has become clear from research to date that the death of an older child harms the survival chances of younger children in that family, and that fertility behaviour, earlier stillbirths, remarriages, and socio-economic status all explain mortality clustering to some extent.
