Inference for the measurement of poverty in the presence of a stochastic weighting variable

Empirical applications of poverty measurement often have to deal with a stochastic weighting variable such as household size. Within the framework of a bivariate distribution function defined over income and weight, I derive the limiting distributions of the decomposable poverty measures and of the ordinates of stochastic dominance curves. The poverty line is allowed to depend on the income distribution. It is shown how the results can be used to test hypotheses concerning changes in poverty. The inference procedures are briefly illustrated using Belgian data. An erratum to this article can be found at     

完善公司治理，构建良好的内部控制环境

内部控制是解决当前我国一些企业内部管理松弛、制度弱化、会计信息失真以及从源头上治理腐败的重要手段之一。公司治理结构为内部控制提供了外部环境,内部控制为公司治理的有效运作和实施提供了制度保障,只有通过建立完善的公司治理结构,达到公司与所有利害相关者之间利益关系的制衡与协调,才能保证公司决策的科学化,最终维护公司各方面的利益,进而保证内部控制体系的建立及作用的有效发挥。     

关于我国研究型大学发展规划的战略思考

战略规划是带有全局性的总体发展规划,制定一个科学的、切实可行的战略规划对于研究型大学的发展至关重要,它成功与否,关键在于两条:战略目标要体现特色,战略举措要抓住重点。另外,我国研究型大学的建设应走多样性、多层次发展的道路,在制定战略规划时要把提高学校办学质量和办学效益放在首位。     

The Measurement of Multidimensional Poverty

Many authors have insisted on the necessity of defining poverty as a multidimensional concept rather than relying on income or consumption expenditures per capita. Yet, not much has actually been done to include the various dimensions of deprivation into the practical definition and measurement of poverty. Existing attempts along that direction consist of aggregating various attributes into a single index through some arbitrary function and defining a poverty line and associated poverty measures on the basis of that index. This is merely redefining more generally the concept of poverty, which then essentially remains a one dimensional concept. The present paper suggests that an alternative way to take into account the multi-dimensionality of poverty is to specify a poverty line for each dimension of poverty and to consider that a person is poor if he/she falls below at least one of these various lines. The paper then explores how to combine these various poverty lines and associated one-dimensional gaps into multidimensional poverty measures. An application of these measures to the rural population in Brazil is also given with poverty defined on income and education.

Influence diagnostics and outlier tests for semiparametric mixed models

Summary. Semiparametric mixed models are useful in biometric and econometric applications, especially for longitudinal data. Maximum penalized likelihood estimators (MPLEs) have been shown to work well by Zhang and co-workers for both linear coefficients and nonparametric functions. This paper considers the role of influence diagnostics in the MPLE by extending the case deletion and subject deletion analysis of linear models to accommodate the inclusion of a nonparametric component. We focus on influence measures for the fixed effects and provide formulae that are analogous to those for simpler models and readily computable with the MPLE algorithm. We also establish an equivalence between the case or subject deletion model and a mean shift outlier model from which we derive tests for outliers. The influence diagnostics proposed are illustrated through a longitudinal hormone study on progesterone and a simulated example.     

转移价格在跨国公司中的作用及其限制——揭开跨国公司巧取豪夺的面纱

转移价格是跨国公司在母公司与子公司、子公司与子公司之间进行内部贸易所采用的价格 ,是人为调高或调低价格来转移利润而采取的重要手段 ,使子公司经营处于“亏损”状态 ,从而使东道国蒙受巨大经济损失。为此 ,各东道国为维护本国的合法权益而采取多种防范和监控措施来限制跨国公司用转移价格来实现其整体总利润额的增加。
