加纳经济的增长谜题:国外援助是不是重要的决定因素

重新审视研究了国外援助及其他因素对加纳经济增长的意义和影响。自加纳共和国独立以来,外商通过不同的渠道在加纳进行投资,目前约占国家预算的40%。那么,这些来自发达国家的资源是否对加纳的经济发展产生了积极的影响呢?为了解决这一难题,运用简单的最小二乘法(OLS),选取了包括国外援助在内的5个独立变量对加纳26年的经济增长进行了回归运算。其中,经济的波动体现在加纳1982年到2007年之间国内生产总值(GDP)的变化上。文中数据取自历年相关书籍,经合组织档案与公共文献。本文的研究证明,国外援助是一国经济增长的重要决定因素。数据显示,国外援助在1982年至2007年的26年里对加纳的经济增长产生了重大而积极的影响。     

Analyzing linked systems of negotiations

This article presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the structure and dynamics of what the authors call linked systems of negotiations. Even such seemingly straightforward transactions as the purchase of a family car tend to involve linked negotiations. The framework highlights the importance of internegotiation processes in shaping Zones of Possible Agreement, and proposes a typology of linkage. By mapping out and reengineering linked systems, negotiators can enhance their ability to shape the structure within which their negotiations take place.     

Interpersonal Correlates of Peer Victimization Among Young Adolescents

Empathy, prosocial behavior, the number of friends, self-reported popularity, and various forms of interpersonal forgiveness were examined as predictors of peer victimization among 52 7th and 8th graders attending a private school. Popularity was the strongest individual predictor of teacher-reported victimization with high popularity associated with low victimization. Malestudents reported significantly higher rates of victimization than females, prompting the decision to examine correlates of self-reported victimization separately by gender. Interpersonal forgiveness scores were the strongest predictors of self-reported victimization; however, different forms of forgiveness were the greatest predictors of male and female self-reported victimization. Implications are discussed.
