How do countries choose their monetary policy frameworks?

This paper investigates the determinants of countries’ choices of monetary policy framework. A brief narrative focused on groupings of countries motivates an econometric analysis which draws on previous work on the determinants of exchange rate regimes, bringing in standard factors as well as the trade networks of potential anchor currency blocs and the financial market depth that are emphasised in the narrative. The model turns out to be able to predict three quarters of countries’ choices, and there is no obvious systematic pattern in the errors. The results have important implications for how countries should choose their monetary policy frameworks.     

论洪仁玗中西文化观之特色

洪仁接受了中西文化并皈依上帝 ,其文化观具有浓厚的宗教色彩。他既有对西方文化多方位接受和认同的趋新意识 ,又有对传统文化的恋旧情结 ,试图用附会中西的办法来规范中西文化。他的文化观极具开放性和前瞻性 ,但又有自相矛盾和不成熟的局限

1937年上海“纱交风潮”——以《申报》和《大公报》报道为中心的考察

1937年上海“纱交风潮”系上海纱布交易所爆发的影响巨大且后果最严重的一次风潮。此次风潮的起因是多方面的，其中最根本的原因是孔家官僚资本为获取巨利插手纱交、操纵市场、大搞投机活动。这场风潮促使国民政府颁布《取缔上海纱布交易所投机办法》，并对此次风潮进行“澈查”，然“澈查”结果却虎头蛇尾。由此看出，国民政府与官僚资本的密切关系，即官僚资本已凭借各种超经济特权在国民经济中取得了独特的优势地位。     

Diagnostics for dependence within time series extremes

Summary. The analysis of extreme values within a stationary time series entails various assumptions concerning its long- and short-range dependence. We present a range of new diagnostic tools for assessing whether these assumptions are appropriate and for identifying structure within extreme events. These tools are based on tail characteristics of joint survivor functions but can be implemented by using existing estimation methods for extremes of univariate independent and identically distributed variables. Our diagnostic aids are illustrated through theoretical examples, simulation studies and by application to rainfall and exchange rate data. On the basis of these diagnostics we can explain characteristics that are found in the observed extreme events of these series and also gain insight into the properties of events that are more extreme than those observed.

学衡派五四观的哲学审视--兼论学衡派现代性诉求的独特禀性

因受五四新思潮激进反传统的刺激,吴宓等留美生于1922年春出版<学衡>杂志,发表了大量的反思、批判五四新文化运动的言论,充分展示了对现代性追求的独特禀性,形成中国现代文化保守主义重镇学衡派.学衡派既反对激进反传统的情绪化态度,又不赞成以西方晚近某家某派标举西方文化的文化观,而是主张新旧相对论,认为古今中西文化当明其源流,融会贯通,以建设真正的新文化.学衡派现代性源自传统的观点与新文化运动现代化即西化的立场构成对立互补的关系,代表着另一种文化启蒙,当给予正确的评价.

How culture influences foreign trade: evidence from the U.S. and China

Using a gravity model of trade and the U.S. and Chinese panel data, I present evidence that supports the views that linguistic links have become more important in foreign trade than geographical proximity and that linguistic influence on trade is more significant in China than in the U.S. The estimated result based on a broad panel of economies shows little overall relation between religious similarity and foreign trade in both the U.S. and China. But there is an indication that the religious dissimilarity tends to retard foreign trade with poor countries and regions and to encourage foreign trade with richer places. I also found that, although religious retardation on foreign trade is more significant in China than in the U.S., religious dissimilarity tends to retard the US export more than that of China; by contrast, it tends to retard the Chinese import more than that of the U.S. At last, the socio-economic implications of the estimated results are discussed.
