By the end of 1990, 156,024 cases of AIDS had been reported throughout the United States (CDC, 1991). Perhaps even more devastating is that 100,813 individuals, 64.6% of the reported AIDS cases have died (CDC, 1991). The AIDS crisis has now found its way into most segments of our society. Women are now the fastest growing category of people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (Stuntzner-Gibson, 1991). HIV disease is increasingly being identified with poor people, intravenous drug users and ethnic minorities (Honey, 1988; Macks, 1988).     

中国和东盟国家的最优货币区指数分析

按照蒙代尔等提出的建立最优货币区的标准,影响建立货币联盟的因素很多,而每一个标准都只是从某一个方面分析建立货币联盟应达到的条件,没有将各个因素综合起来,从总体上分析一个地区是否应建立货币联盟,或者一个国家是否应该加入货币联盟。最优货币区(OCA)指数将汇率波动和反映最优货币区标准的指标的波动进行回归,通过模型将这些标准结合起来,可以综合分析各个因素对中国和东盟国家建立单一货币区的影响,为建立货币联盟提供一个综合的标准,并且可以分析各国在建立货币联盟时,可供选择的锚货币和建立货币联盟的步骤。

Gay,Lesbian, Bisexual,and Transgender (GLBT) Elders

Abstract

Current gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) individuals age 65 years and older grew up before the Gay Rights movement. They have learned over many years to hide their identities in order to avoid discrimination and ridicule. Unfortunately, this secrecy has led to the near invisibility of the elder GLBT population and to poor health and service access. This paper reviews what we know about GLBT elders, describes some of the unique strengths they bring to the aging process, and outlines some of the challenges they face. Micro, mezzo, and macro practice implications are suggested.

Into the Lion's Den:

The need to "couple," to have that special person with whom we share not only sexual intimacy but a past, present, and future, is not limited to the "straight" world. Raised by heterosexual parents, gays (male homosexuals) desire that same type of intimacy. Given that intimate relationships provide a very necessary function for the larger community of heterosexuals, those relationships should provide the same function for gays. This paper examines the differences and similarities between long-term gay and heterosexual intimate relationships, and the support each of those types of relationships receives from the community in which they exist.

中国汇率收益率及波动的周内效应实证研究

利用修正的GARCH-M模型,检验了中国2005 - 2010年期间人民币-美元汇率和人民币-欧元汇率收益率及波动的周内效应.研究发现,人民币-美元汇率在周二和周四具有显著升值特征,而人民币-欧元汇率在周四则更容易贬值并同时存在波动性的周二效应,仅在人民币-美元汇率收益率与波动之间呈现显著风险与收益的负向关系,反映出风险越高则人民币-美元汇率越容易升值,这可能是由于汇率市场中投资者的自适应预期所导致.     

对外贸易差额与货币供给 ——基于国别面板数据的实证研究

开放经济条件下,不同汇率制度条件下会对一国贸易差额与货币供给之间的关系产生不同的影响。通过构面包含汇率制度虚拟变量在内的面板协整方程,结合1994-2011年中国、日本等23个国家和地区的国别面板数据进行实证分析,研究发现：在实行自由浮动汇率制度下贸易差额对货币供给并不产生影响,而在实行固定汇率制度或者有管理的浮动汇率制度下贸易差额会引起货币供给的同方向变化,即贸易顺差会引起货币供应量的增加,贸易逆差则引起货币供应量的减少。因此,在当前实行人民币有管理的浮动汇率制度下,要适度控制贸易顺差对货币供给的冲击作用,以防范通货膨胀等风险。
