国内需求与中国改革开放后的技术进步——基于熊彼特创新理论的分析

基于熊彼特创新理论的分析表明,国内需求对发展中国家的技术进步有重要的影响.利用中国1979-2008年经济数据的实证研究支持了理论分析的结论,具体包括：国内需求的增长对技术进步有正面影响,而出口增长则有负面影响;在国内需求中,消费需求比投资需求对技术进步的促进作用更为明显;消费需求占GDP份额的下降,是我国近年来技术水平提高缓慢的重要原因.     

Small Gestures and Acts of Grace: An Interview with Germaine Koh

Knitwork is an 80-metre long work generated by unraveling cast-off garments, and reknitting them into a wide blanket. The piece is visually rich: bands of bright colours, softer shades and painterly mixes. The artist Germaine Koh, who lives and works in Canada, conceived the piece in February 1992 as a life-long project. It has since been shown in galleries across North America, Australia and, most recently, in 2002, at the British Museum in London, where it cascaded down marble steps in the Great Court. Knitwork is reminiscent of the work of feminist artists of the 1970s (such as Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro in the United States, or the Feministo group in Britain), work that commented on the devaluation of both domestic labour and craft, particularly with regard to textiles, traditionally associated with women. Although Koh intends this reading, Knitwork is one of a series of-what might be described as-conceptual art projects that she has exhibited over the last decade. These focus on the ways in which we invest time and effort in seemingly mundane activities, what Koh describes as 'the weighty psychic accretion of everyday habits and mundane debris'. By using commonplace objects, abstracting them or changing their context, she aims to stimulate reflection about how we interact, and the tokens or gestures we use. Sometimes Koh knits alone, privately; and, at other times, publicly, when the piece is on exhibition, transforming it from object to performance. By 1998 the piece had 'consumed' more than 260 garments and was over 60 metres long. By 2002 it had grown to 80 metres, including nearly 300 garments, and weighing 400 pounds. Koh describes Knitwork as a comical object, somewhere between the sublime and the ridiculous. Yet, because it has both its past and future written into it, it contains a certain melancholy. It is a measurement of a life, its output, and also its duration, each stitch a record of a decision, and of a moment in time.     

许霆案与期待可能性理论

许霆案件折射了法律与情理的严重冲突，而案件的最终处理反映了刑法的人性关怀，这在很大程度上与国外期待可能性理论具有相通之处，由此可能成为我国认真审视、深入研究期待可能性理论的标志性案件。     

刑事政策考量下的刑法教义学应何去何从——本体论亦或规范论?

刑事政策和刑法教义学究竟有怎样的关系,日益引起学者的关注。刑法教义学是国家对刑事政策目的的反应,现代民主法治国家应选择与之相适应的刑事政策和刑法教义学,德国刑法教义学以Roxin为代表的功能论因提出将刑事政策纳入刑法教义学体系中而备受推崇,与之相对应的Welzel目的行为论并非忽略了刑事政策,其论证过程所基于的本体论更具限制国家刑罚权的功能,故应在本体论基础上发现能更好地保障人权的理性的刑事政策和刑法教义学。     

Review of Uncertainty Economic Cycle Theory

Uncertainty shocks have significant impact on macroeconomic development, and it is the key factor for economic policymaking. The uncertainty economic cycle theory is the frontier macroeconomics research, using the time-varying volatility model to describe the uncertainty, and introducing the time-varying volatility model into dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. This paper systematically reviews the definition and measurement of uncertainty, the solving of DSGE models with uncertainty shocks, the macroeconomic effects of uncertainty shocks and its micro-mechanisms, and puts forward the potential research direction of uncertainty shocks in China.     

Examining Prosecutorial Discretion in Federal Criminal Cases: Legal and Extra-Legal Determinants of Declination and Charge Change Decisions

Abstract

From 2000 to 2010, the federal criminal caseload increased roughly 50% with a large portion of this increase attributed to the rise in immigration prosecutions. These changes coupled with recent Supreme Court decisions rendering the guidelines advisory have renewed calls for research examining prosecutorial discretion, particularly with respect to the influence of legal and extralegal factors on charging and bargaining decisions. This study utilizes data (2002–2010) from the Federal Justice Statistics Program database housed within the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). More specifically, the current research examines prosecutorial decisions to decline to charge federal arrestees and to make any changes to the charge from the arresting offense. Results from the multilevel, multivariate models reveal that both extra-legal and legal factors were influential of these decisions. Disaggregated models also revealed considerable variation across different offense types. Finally, districts with higher caseloads had lower odds of a prosecutorial declination and charge change.     

社会质量理论与政府公信力建设的契合分析

社会质量包含社会经济保障、社会包客、社会凝聚和社会赋权四个维度，社会质量理论主要是从这四个方面来测量社会发展水平。社会质量水平是衡量政府公信力建设的一个重要标准，同时也是推动力。社会质量理论作为一种重要的政府管理理论工具和分析框架．从一个新的视角对当代中国政府公信力建设发挥导引的功能，二者在理论层面和价值层面上的契合是这一功能发挥的关键所在。

中国改革开放以来劳动关系理论研究的回顾

在中国改革开放30年之际,回顾劳动关系理论研究,经历了初始研究、沉寂后重肩和进一步发展的过程.初步形成了在方法和内容方面有所区别的诸种论说,包括注重劳权-劳动者的理论演绎说、注重产权-公民劳动者的实证归纳说、注重国别特色的境外理论-实证说、多学科视角的多种国内劳动关系论说等.在此基础上,启发我们对现阶段中国的劳动关系特征有新的认识.
