Do citizens care about government debt? Evidence from survey experiments on budgetary priorities

Ever since the Great Recession, public debt has become politicised. Some research suggests that citizens are fiscally conservative, while other research shows that they punish governments for implementing fiscal consolidation. This begs the question of whether and how much citizens care about debt. We argue that debt is not a priority for citizens because reducing it involves spending and tax trade-offs. Using a split-sample experiment and a conjoint experiment in four European countries, we show that fiscal consolidation at the cost of spending cuts or taxes hikes is less popular than commonly assumed. Revenue-based consolidation is especially unpopular, but expenditure-based consolidation is also contested. Moreover, the public has clear fiscal policy priorities: People do not favour lower debt and taxes, but they support higher progressive taxes to pay for more government spending. The article furthers our understanding of public opinion on fiscal policies and the likely political consequences of austerity.

《中医体质量表（韩文版）》在韩国人群中应用的横断面研究

目的 通过横断面调查,了解韩国人群中医体质类型分布规律,探索性分析影响韩国人群中医体质的影响因素。方法 2014年5—11月,选取居住于首尔地区的300例韩国人,运用《中医体质量表（韩文版）》调查其中医体质类型,比较不同性别、不同职业、不同体质量指数者的中医体质类型,并与中国常模的中医体质类型进行比较。结果 300例被调查人群中,平和质69例,其余8种偏颇体质225例,兼夹体质6例,居于前3位的偏颇体质类型为阳虚质（占14.3%）、湿热质（占13.3%）和阴虚质（占12.7%）。不同性别者的体质类型比较,差异具有统计学意义（P<0.05）;不同职业者的体质类型比较,以及不同体质类型者的体质量指数比较,差异均无统计学意义（P>0.05）;与中国常模的体质类型分布比较,差异具有统计学意义（P<0.01）,其中韩国人群阳虚质构成比高于中国常模,气虚质构成比低于中国常模。结论 韩国人群的中医体质类型存在性别差异,其分布情况可能与中国人群不同,但尚需要大样本数据的验证。

Infant Homicide: Victim/Offender Relationship and Causes of Death

The phenomenon of infant homicide (infanticide) has been examined, explained, justified, and treated according to physiological, psychiatric, and psychological correlates. There has been little examination of the social correlates directly pertaining to infant homicide. However, social correlates are often indirectly addressed in the medical and psychiatric literature. This paper tests relationships between social correlates often asserted, but typically not tested, in the medical and psychiatric literature. Using a sample of 380 infant homicides in Texas from 1981 through 1991, a multivariate analysis between victim/offender relationship, cause of death, and victim's age at time of fatal injury, predicts the age at which an infant (34 months) is likely to be fatally injured. The findings support the following hypotheses: (1) as the age of the victim increases, the level of violence used to fatally injure the infant increases; and (2) as the level of relational intimacy decreases, the level of violence used to fatally injure the infant increases.
