产业政策与中国数字经济行业技术创新

本文利用2008-2017年沪深A股中数字经济上市公司的专利及财务数据,分析了政府补贴、税收优惠、信用贷款、行业准入制度四类产业政策对数字经济行业技术创新的影响。估计结果表明, 政府补贴和行业准入制度对数字经济行业专利申请和专利发明的影响显著,税收优惠、信用贷款对数字 经济行业技术创新的影响相对不明显。对数字经济行业细分类别进行稳健性检验结果表明,政府补贴和行业准入制度依然是影响数字经济行业技术创新较为显著的产业政策,产业政策对数字经济行业技术创新的影响存在行业异质性。政府补贴对电信传媒和软件信息行业专利申请和发明的影响更为显著,行业准入制度对软件信息行业的影响更为显著。此外,政府补贴和信用贷款均能通过提高企业研发投入来提升企业创新能力, 行业准入制度和税收优惠均能通过提高企业利润而提升企业创新能力。本文为政府制定数字经济行业技术创新激励政策提供了经验证据,有助于政府制定合理的产业政策促进 数字经济行业技术创新。     

Women's & Gender Studies Journal Database

Abstract

The Women's & Gender Studies Journal Database (WGSJD) at Rutgers University is a user-oriented, discipline-based database that provides quick access to journal titles available online. It is also a union list of journal titles, print and online, in the area of women's and gender studies at Rutgers University Libraries. The author describes this database and its value-added service in the context of Rutgers University Libraries' information system. Discussion also includes its advantages and disadvantages, the changing roles and areas of responsibilities for subject selectors, and how the database fits into future developments of the library's information system.

The Value of South and Southeast Asian Studies Journal Rankings

Abstract

This article ranks South and Southeast Asian Studies journals along three categories—quality, efficiency, and impact. The ranking summarizes the results of a survey sent to an international sample of South and Southeast Asian Studies scholars. This study is valuable in three ways: as a decision making tool for the South and Southeast Asian Studies academic community, as an evaluation of methodology in journal ranking studies, and as a discussion of the value of journal rankings studies to assessment and evaluation in higher education generally.

美国门户开放政策目标定位辨析

迄今为止,人们都习惯于将门户开放政策视为美国的早期对华政策。但这项政策的目标定位并不仅仅限于中国。根据美国国务卿海约翰 1899年、1900年和 1905年三次颁布门户开放照会的历史背景和照会内容,回溯近代早期中外关系演变的历史进程,及美国资本主义扩张的历史轨迹,不难看出,这项政策的目标主体是在华争夺“势力范围”的列强,中国只是实施这项政策的目标客体。美国的对华政策早在门户开放政策出台前就开始形成,门户开放政策本身具有更广泛的扩张意义。     

The governance of free/open source software projects: monolithic, multidimensional, or configurational?

This paper presents the results of a qualitative review and synthesis of the literature on open source governance, addressing four key questions: (1) How has open source software (OSS) governance been defined? (2) Has the phenomenon of OSS governance been conceptualized as a monolithic or multidimensional phenomenon? (3) What purposes is OSS governance hypothesized to serve? and (4) What are the dimensions of OSS governance, and how are these dimensions related to each other? The results of the review suggest a framework for future comparative and case study research on OSS governance, and they provide a basis for comparison with research on the governance of other distributed, community-based forms of content and creation.     

The impact of fiscal shocks on real GDP and income inequality: What do Australian data say?

This paper examines the impact of three fiscal policy shocks on per capita real GDP and income inequality in Australia during the period 1965–2014. A small structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) model is constructed for an open economy for contemporaneous identification and estimation purposes. Based on the evidence of one cointegrating vector among the variables, a structural vector error correction (SVEC) model is specified for the long run. Direct taxation, indirect taxation receipts and government spending are identified as permanent fiscal policy shocks. The convergent use of two different models (SVAR & SVEC) strengthens the credibility of the results. The results have three key policy implications. First, a reduction in direct taxation receipts increases per capita real GDP without increasing income inequality. Second, a reduction in government expenditure significantly increases income inequality. Third, the adverse effect of indirect taxation receipts on income inequality is greater than the redistributive effect of government expenditure, which questions the widely held fiscal policy strategy of using indirect taxation to finance redistributive expenditure.     

Development and application of a rubric to compare strategies for improving access to health care in rural communities in the United States

Rural areas are underserved in terms of the availability of and access to health care services. According to Healthy People 2020, access to health care continues to be the most frequently identified rural health priority in the United States.PurposeThe purpose was to develop an efficient approach for standardizing and prioritizing strategies to improve access to health care in rural areas across the United States. The rubric provides a quantitative metric of the effectiveness of each strategy in terms of impact and feasibility and allows community health departments and other access to care groups to compare strategies and facilitate discussion of various strategies’ ability to meet the needs of diverse communities.FrameworkThe Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) cycle was used to create the rubric. The research team constructed a plan for creating a rubric to measure each strategy’s impact and feasibility. We checked the rubric by applying it to selected access to care improvement strategies evaluated by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Members of a rural community Access to Care Workgroup applied the rubric to several RWJF What Works for Health strategies. The final step was to compare the results of the application phase through facilitated conversations with the goal of determining which strategy or strategies would best meet the needs of the rural community.DiscussionA rubric is a valuable tool to facilitate assessment and discussion and for assisting community members in determining access to care priorities. After applying the rubric in a community setting, we identified two important tactics: 1) the rubric is best applied to strategies when they are summarized consistently and cohesively; and 2) it is important to involve community stakeholders early in the process of identifying strategies for evaluation. The next step is to apply the rubric to similar strategies in other rural communities to further validate the rubric’s effectiveness.
