Selfish and Indoctrinated Economists?

Many people believe that economists in general are more selfish than other people and that this greater selfishness is due to economics education. This paper offers empirical evidence against this widely held belief. Using a unique data set on giving behaviour in connection with two social funds at the University of Zurich, it is shown that economics education does not make people act more selfishly. Rather, this natural experiment suggests that the particular behaviour of economists can be explained by a selection effect.JEL Classification: A13, A20, H41     

再论"一事不再罚"原则

"一事不再罚"是我国行政处罚法的适用规则之一.理论上认为是刑事诉讼"一事不再理"原则在行政处罚领域的延伸."一事不再罚"原则实际上是以保障公民权利不受过度的侵害为其基本价值目标的.在实践中,对该原则的适用应把握对同一个违法行为实施行政处罚后,不得再以同一理由和根据对该违法行为再次实施任何性质的行政处罚.当同一违法行为违反两个或两个以上行政法律规范时,可以采用"重罚吸收轻罚"的方式处理.     

Charitable giving and the future of NGOs in Russia: what can we learn from individual data?

This study seeks to discuss the survivability of charitable nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in Russia without foreign funding. We use cross-sectional data from a quantitative household survey conducted in April 2016 to investigate common giving patterns of Russians. We find that Russians prefer to give directly to people in need rather than to NGOs; the donations are small, spontaneous, and irregular; they are mainly targeted to supporting the poor and the sick. Involvement in religious activities and higher self-assessed income are two factors that contribute most to the probability of donating. Educated and younger donors are more likely to donate to NGOs compared to donating to particular people/families. The study suggests that private donations to NGOs will decline if no changes in public policy are made. NGOs supporting education, environment, culture, or civil organizations seem to be worst hit.

污点证人作证豁免制度探析

污点证人作证豁免制度能有效分化瓦解犯罪联盟,是鼓励犯罪者和追诉机关合作的一项重要措施.其理论基础是反对强迫自证其罪的特权.我国法律中有关类似的规定并不是真正意义上的污点证人作证豁免制度,只是体现了其精神而已.在修改刑事诉讼法时,有必要对严重刑事犯罪适用该制度,并建立起相应的保障制度.
