Determinants of Firm‐Level Lobbying and Government Responsiveness in Agricultural Biotechnology in China

Understanding what stimulates agribusiness firms to lobby the government and what makes the government responsive to lobbying are the two issues that have been discussed extensively in the debates concerning determinants of biotechnology policy. This paper examines the factors influencing agribusiness firms' lobbying and government response using econometric modeling on a new data set of 160 leading agribusiness firms in the food, feed, chemical, and seed industries in China. The results show that approximately 10% of agribusiness firms lobbied the government about biotechnology policy and regulations and over half of those that lobbied received a verbal or written acknowledgment from government agencies. Seed and feed companies are more likely to engage in lobbying than chemical companies. Owning GM patents not only has a positive impact on firms' lobbying activities, but firms with these patents are more likely to receive a government response to their lobbying efforts. The experience of selling GM products does not significantly influence lobbying activities or response from the government.     

韧性视角下现代城市整体性风险防控问题研究

现代城市因人口聚居、建筑密集、活动复杂而日益成为风险中心,呈现出复合性、联动性、叠加性、扩散性、隐蔽性增大等整体性风险。本文基于韧性视角,引入"韧性城市"概念,剖析了现代城市整体性风险防控实践的六大盲点和弊端,并分别从空间、时间和层级三个维度提出了韧性城市风险治理的范式,梳理出"都市群-城镇带-生活圈"防范风险扩散、"灾前预警-灾中应急-灾后恢复"阻遏风险延递、"宏观搭台-中观定标-微观落地"化解风险叠加的具体策略。     

评哈贝马斯重建历史唯物主义的尝试

哈贝马斯区分交往理性与工具理性,借助生活世界重建历史唯物主义.这一尝试以黑格尔的相互承认观念为思想来源,以群体性自我同一性即"我们"的确立为理论基础之一,以建构性视角取代批判性视角为思维取向,是在西方福利国家这一现实背景上做出的一种有别于马克思思想及早期批判理论的理论表述.     

美国爆发金融危机的原因、影响和启示

2007年7月美国爆发的次贷危机已演变为金融危机和经济衰退.这次美国金融危机波及范围之广,影响程度之深,冲击强度之大,为20世纪30年代大危机以来所罕见,教训与启示很多.要防止悲剧重演,各国和国际社会要妥善处理四大关系:一是市场机制与政府干预要相辅相成,二是虚拟经济与实体经济要协调发展,三是社会收入分配和税收政策要有利于缩小贫富差距,四是加强合作,协调发展.     

从单位管理、街居管理到社区管理的历史性转变

计划经济时期以"单位管理"为主并辅之以"街居管理"的基层社会管理模式,是当时历史条件的必然产物.在社会转型期,计划经济条件下适用的"单位管理"及"街居管理"模式已不再适用.于是,西方国家的"社区管理"模式被介绍到中国.但当代中国社会不能简单地模仿西方,而应当立足于本国国情,在借鉴西方经验的基础上,创造出具有中国特色的社区管理模式.从社区发展的终极目标--社区自治来看,我国现有的社区管理模式应该也必须逐步走向完善.

The anxiety of love: an analysis of recent Chinese popular music

Love between two sexes is a time-honored but commonplace theme in songs that it does not seem to demand scholarly attention. Yet, the manner in which sexual love is expressed in Chinese songs today carries with it the deep stigma of the sea change that has been taking place in recent Chinese culture. The present paper discovers that, as a result of drastic changes in Chinese people’s attitude toward sexual relations, there has been a greater anxiety in songs intended for men to sing, as well as those for women, and manifestations of the anxiety of the loss of love are gender-specific. In “male songs,” paradoxically, the anxiety has been more voiced and apparently with more pain, which is one of the key indicators of the profound change in sexual attitudes in Chinese society.     

基于精英策略的多目标进化算法的研究

针对基于精英策略的多目标进化算法NSGAⅡ[1]解的多样性降低的缺点,提出了一个分布函数改进其精英策略.通过调节分布函数中的参数,控制精英解的选取范围,使一部分非精英解也能参与到遗传操作中,增加了解的多样性.实验结果表明,改进的多目标进化算法无论在解的多样性方面还是解的收敛性方面都有较大改观,性能明显优于NSGAⅡ.

中国公立医院改革的逻辑

公立医院改革是新医改的重点也是难点之一。权利与责任不对等导致公立医院医生滥用医院声誉,严重的道德风险由此产生。在"管办不分"的医疗卫生体制下,公立医院丧失了独立的法人地位。公立医院改革的出发点在于政事分开、管办分离,从而落实公立医院的独立法人地位,进而完善公立医院的法人治理结构。通过合理的机制设计使医生尽可能承担声誉责任,克服道德风险,规范自身行为。
