儒家的养老与敬老思想

儒家为突出养老道义上的至善性,着意渲染历史上的圣王之治无不重养老,认为重养老是善治的体现,富有道义上的正当性,是一种神圣的事业;就如何养老而言,儒家强调要＂制民恒产＂,在确保人民有稳定的资产和收入来养老的同时,力主统治者应轻徭薄赋,施行＂仁政＂;儒家的养老不仅重视在物质上满足老人的需求,也很注重在精神和情感上敬重长者;同时,儒家认为政府对养老负有不可推卸的责任。     

秦兆阳与《组织部新来的青年人》——对一桩历史公案的再认识

王蒙《组织部新来的青年人》发表于《人民文学》1956年9月,秦兆阳对这篇小说的修改引起了一场轩然大波。秦兆阳的修改主要集中在对区委书记周润祥形象的改写和对林赵爱情的强化上。这种修改与秦兆阳的现实主义理论有密切的关系。小说的改写触动了《在延安文艺座谈会上的讲话》关于"文艺与政治的关系"、"歌颂与暴露"、"写真实"等重大问题,因此引起了毛泽东的关注。     

A statistical measure of internal consistency

A test for homogeneity of several populations against the simple tree alternative is proposed when the observations in various groups are subject to the same pattern of random right-censorship. The test is a generalization of the one proposed by Slivka (1970) which is useful when testing time is expensive so that an early termination of an experiment is desirable. The power of the test is examined in a simulation study.     

Do taboo trade-offs explain the difficulty in valuing health and social interventions?

Persistent anomalies in the results of willingness to pay studies, despite improvements in measurement technique, challenge the assumption in economics that all sources of value are commensurable. Two sources of incommensurability have been identified: interdimensional incommensurability, which refers to the cognitive difficulty that people encounter when trying to assign a monetary value to health; and constitutive incommensurability, which arises when some forms of trade-off are regarded as ‘taboo’. In this paper we explore whether the notion of taboo trade-offs might explain some of the difficulties experienced in health-related willingness to pay studies.     

《水浒传》梁山聚义性质的传播学分析

《水浒传》中梁山聚义替天行道攻打官府的运动,到底是什么性质的,古往今来争论不休。古代文人多认为是忠义行为,也有部分正统文人认为是叛逆造反;上世纪20年代开始有人提出农民革命的说法,之后这一说法成为主导,似是不易之论;到了80年代才有人开始提出流民起义、忠义之举、武侠行为、反叛法律等非农民起义的观点。基于此,从传播学的视角对学术界关于《水浒传》梁山聚义性质的研究进行了解读分析,认为《水浒传》梁山聚义性质的研究是一个假命题,由于人们的错误理解而进入《水浒传》研究的范畴,再加上我国文史不分的传统、阶级分析法的引进和政治形势使然,使得这一命题的研究俨然成了现实中《水浒传》研究的必然议题。

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.     

Tests of statistical hypotheses and their use in studies of natural phenomena

Contrary to ideas suggested by the title of the conference at which the present paper was presented, the author is not aware of a conceptual difference between a “test of a statistical hypothesis” and a “test of significance” and uses these terms interchangeably. A study of any serious substantive problem involves a sequence of incidents at which one is forced to pause and consider what to do next. In an effort to reduce the frequency of misdirected activities one uses statistical tests. The procedure is illustrated on two examples: (i) Le Cam’s (and associates’) study of immunotherapy of cancer and (ii) a socio-economic experiment relating to low-income homeownership problems.
