WTO机制的法经济学分析

现行的多边贸易体制是以WTO为中心的贸易体制,这是一个将贸易自由化和贸易保护兼收并蓄的混合体制,这一多边贸易体制具有不可动摇的经济学基础。本文从法律经济学的视角分析了WTO规则的经济性,WTO机制体现的经济学内涵,探讨了WTO机制所具有的经济学含义的价值观。     

Attentional biases to emotion in impulsive and instrumental violent offenders: an event-related potential study

Background: Interpersonal violent behavior is often induced by extreme emotional states but the effects of emotional stimuli on this behavior remain poorly understood. Aim: We compared the effects of emotional stimuli on behavior in individuals with a history of impulsive or instrumental violence to test for either general problems in processing of emotional stimuli or problems in disengagement from this type of information. Methods: Behavioral and electrophysiological data were collected using emotional stimuli preceding a Posner Cuing Task. Results: Impulsive violent individuals showed more attentional resource allocation to angry faces whereas instrumental violent individuals attended less to sad faces. Electrophysiological measures showed there were differences in attentional allocation leading to differences when disengaging from invalid emotional cues, rather than a pattern indicating differences in early processing in extrastriate cortex. Conclusions: Different emotion–attention problems are seen in impulsive and instrumental violent offenders due to abnormalities in disengaging attention from specific types of emotional content.     

The evolution of externality rights: Flexibility versus ambiguity

Coase argued that externality rights should sometimes be flexible, but warned that ambiguity can also hinder market transactions. Flexible liability is not uncommon and can be shown to provide useful information under nonconvexity. At a global optimum, each side must be able to compensate the other. There are also limited incentive gains from flexible liability for private externalities. For public externalities, however, claims will be exaggerated when agents are risk seeking and understated when they are risk averse. Efficient specifications of right are thus unlikely to emerge from self-interested litigation alone.     

小波子空间的抽样定理

本文首先介绍了古典仙农抽样定理,然后回顾了小波分析和多尺度分析的历史;接着,从低通滤波器系数和小波的角度刻画了小波子空间中抽样定理成立的一个充要条件,并研究了它们的对称性。     

The wisdom of crowds: What do citizens forecast for the 2015 British General Election?

Who do you think will win in your constituency? Most citizens correctly answer this question, and groups are even better at answering it. Combining individual forecasts results in the ‘wisdom of crowds’ explained by Condorcet's jury theorem. This paper demonstrates the accuracy of citizen forecasts in seven British General Elections between 1964 and 2010, and reports what citizens interviewed in February and March forecasted for the election in May 2015. ‘Citizen forecasting’ predicts vote shares and winners in constituency elections, and seat numbers and governments in national elections. The paper also introduces a new method for predicting vote shares from citizen forecasts. Citizen forecasts are direct, accurate, and comprehensible. Pollsters should collect them and communicate their results more often.     

法治化建设的思路创新--基于法经济学的法治化建设思路

法经济学作为经济学帝国主义的重要表现,它是用经济学的方法和理论来考察、研究法律和法律制度的形成、结构、过程、效果、效率及未来发展的学科;它是法学和经济学科际整合的边缘学科.在阐述法经济学的基本理论思维后,通过法经济学运动的启示作用,提出以经济战略推进我国法治化进程的思路.     

财产权及其哲学基础

财产权作为一种基本的人权是以所有权为核心建立起来的。它的外在表现虽是一种对物的权利,但实质上却体现了一种人与人之间的关系,因此从一开始,财产权就是为实行私有财产而提出的。西方思想家洛克、黑格尔、庞德、波斯纳、罗尔斯分别从不同的角度对财产权的合法性基础提供了理论上的论证。     

博弈论视野下的民问法与国家法——从埃里克森和小波斯纳的学术贡献切入

埃里克森和小波斯纳的共同点在于运用博弈论和信息经济学的理论工具研究民间法与国家法之间微妙复杂的关系,只不过一偏实证调研,一偏理论推演。通过在法律经济学的发展谱系中分析埃里克森和小波斯纳的学术贡献和理论推进,考察博弈论视野下民间法与国家法之间的冲突与合作并运用上述思路讨论了中国法治建设中的两个问题。     

论波斯纳法律经济学的理性假定和效率标准

文章以当代美国著名法学家波斯纳为例,对法律经济学方法的理性假定和效率标准进行了考察。指出,理性人彻底占领包括市场和非市场领域在内的整个社会空间,是理性假定的必然要求;理性假定是资本精神的理论投射,波斯纳的理性假定对整个法学体系的覆盖,标志着非市场领域的彻底资本化。波斯纳财富最大化法学思想的根本内容和内在实质,都隐含在"效率"概念之中,而效率是一个涉及财富的数量、结构和运用等内容的准福利概念;财富最大化法学思想是资本精神在法学中登峰造极的表现,它突出而深刻地反映了现代资本主义社会的异化问题。
