农业供应链金融能有效缓解企业的融资约束？——涉农企业参与精准扶贫的实证研究

农业供应链金融为涉农企业融资难问题提供了新思路。本文以上市涉农上市企业2016~2018年的财务数据为样本,探讨了农业供应链金融对缓解企业融资约束的影响,以及涉农企业参与精准扶贫对缓解融资约束的调节作用。研究发现:涉农企业普遍面临融资约束问题,而农业供应链金融显著缓解了涉农企业的融资约束,且对参与精准扶贫企业的融资约束缓解更为显著。本文揭示了:农业供应链金融能有效缓解涉农企业的融资约束问题,再次证明了农业供应链金融缓解涉农企业融资约束的重要性和必要性,拓展了供应链金融研究的领域,同时对企业参与精准扶贫,响应新时期涉农企业社会责任的具体要求,形成政府、企业等共同承担社会责任的多元化减贫治理机制,助力乡村振兴提供相应借鉴。     

基于重复博弈的地方政府精准扶贫合作机制研究

精准扶贫是习近平总书记为彻底解决贫困问题而提出一项战略要求。精准扶贫是一项复杂性较高、涉及范畴较广的系统工作,其工作的展开需要由地方政府共同协作完成。地方政府合作周期长短对精准扶贫有着巨大的影响,基于博弈论的基本思想方法,针对地方政府精准扶贫合作机制进行研究。首先,针对精准扶贫过程中完全信息静态博弈的情况,构建地方政府合作与非合作的无限次重复博弈模型,并分析双方政府均采取冷酷战略时,彼此合作的临界贴现因子;然后,针对精准扶贫过程中地方政府合作周期长短对精准扶贫成效的问题,探讨了有限重复博弈模型的临界贴现因子与地方政府合作周期的关系。分析表明：在精准扶贫过程中,双方政府合作周期越长,临界贴现因子越小,精准扶贫合作的稳定性越强。最后,针对精准扶贫过程中地方政府合作周期和合作机制等提出对策和建议。     

社会分配的和谐结构

实现和谐社会需要一个与之相适应的社会分配结构.借助基尼系数描述了一种和谐的社会分配结构.通过观察和分析我国近年的经济数据可以发现,为实现和谐的分配状态,我们必须应对许多严峻挑战:城乡差别依旧过大;接近占总人口20%的最贫困人群几乎没有财富积累;过大的地下经济扭曲并影响了社会的公平分配.进行社会分配必须兼顾均衡与效率.要实现和谐的分配状态,可以有许多考虑和选择.建议采取法律、法规、科技、政策和行政的各种手段,要坚决消灭近20%最贫困人群的入不敷出的情形;要全力打造中等收入阶层;要加大取缔黑色收入规范灰色收入的力度;要加快城镇化建设的步伐;要积极营建促进全民创业的环境.     

Reserve regulation and multidimensional relative poverty of farmers: Evidence from the Panda Nature Reserves in China

The accurate evaluation of the relationship between nature reserves and poverty is highly significant for the harmonious coexistence between human and nature. It is widely recognized that the establishment of nature reserves is of great importance to the income poverty of farmers, but less attention has been paid to the impact of different reserves on the multidimensional relative poverty of farmers. Based on the survey data of Panda Nature Reserves in China, we analyze the influence of reserve regulation (or not) and regulation intensity on the multidimensional relative poverty of farmers and its mechanism. Results show that farmers in reserves are more likely to fall into multidimensional relative poverty than those outside the reserves, and there is a U-shaped relationship between regulation intensity and multidimensional relative poverty. Further, the mechanism analysis show that, on average, the establishment of reserves has no significant impact on farmers' resource utilization capability, but too high or too low regulation intensity will affect farmers' resource utilization capacity, and aggravate their multidimensional relative poverty. The conclusions of this paper are not only conducive to the expansion of theoretical research on regulation and poverty, but also provide policy implications for realizing the coordinated development between biodiversity conservation of nature reserves and rural livelihood.     

Phytochemistry,Medicinal Properties,Bioactive Compounds,and Therapeutic Potential of the Genus Eremophila (Scrophulariaceae)

The genus Eremophila (family Scrophulariaceae) consists of approximately 200 species that are widely distributed in the semi-arid and arid regions of Australia. Multiple Eremophila spp. are used as traditional medicines by the First Australians in the areas in which they grow. They are used for their antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and cardiac properties. Many species of this genus are beneficial against several diseases and ailments. The antibacterial properties of the genus have been relatively well studied, with several important compounds identified and their mechanisms studied. In particular, Eremophila spp. are rich in terpenoids, and the antimicrobial bioactivities of many of these compounds have already been confirmed. The therapeutic properties of Eremophila spp. preparations and purified compounds have received substantially less attention, and much study is required to validate the traditional uses and to highlight species that warrant further investigation as drug leads. The aim of this study is to review and summarise the research into the medicinal properties, therapeutic mechanisms, and phytochemistry of Eremophila spp., with the aim of focussing future studies into the therapeutic potential of this important genus.     

城乡二元结构转化视域下的中国减贫“奇迹”

减贫是新中国成立以来中国现代化进程的重大主题。中国的减贫历程呈现出三个特征事实：减贫在全球范围取得了“奇迹般”成就,减贫成就主要发生在改革开放后的高增长阶段,减贫历程与城乡二元结构转化过程相伴随。为此应在二元结构转化、经济增长和减贫成就之间形成逻辑内洽的分析框架。在逻辑推演层面,二元结构转化通过劳动力再配置效应、农业生产率提高效应、人口结构变迁效应、财政资源配置效应影响农村减贫,前两者意味着经济增长,后两者则体现为扶贫政策,经济增长和扶贫政策相结合是形成减贫绩效的主要原因。二元结构转化影响减贫的四种效应能够得到中国经验证据的支持,中国的社会主义制度及改革开放后的经济体制转型为效应发挥提供了制度基础。2020年之后,中国减贫战略将进入“下半程”,即应依靠常规方式和长效机制的构建来解决城乡相对贫困问题,这在发展思路和政策取向上需要推动减贫战略与二元结构转化的再衔接。     

基于Alkire-Foster模型的多维贫困测度影响因素敏感性研究——基于粤北山区农村家庭的调查数据

贫困测度是贫困研究的基础.论文以Alkire-Foster多维贫困测度模型为基础,构建多维贫困影响因素敏感性分析模型,并运用该模型对粤北山区农村家庭进行实证分析,发现:在厨房燃料和教育两个维度贫困发生率高;贫困发生率对教育和居住条件两个指标贫困线的变化较为敏感;权重的改变对测度结果的影响比较大,特别是当被剥夺的临界值k较小时,多维贫困发生率对权重变化更为敏感.     

Means and their applications

General considerations about means and expectations are preceded by a short historical overview. The existing approaches to the definition of means are classified into three groups: approximational, functional, and axiomatic. In some particular cases all of them are equivalent. The problem of meaningfulness of means is discussed for ordinal data and for some important cases of metric data. A survey of the main areas of applications: decision theory, group decision, insurance, economical equity and inequality is also provided. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

缔造引领型融合治理：脱贫攻坚的治理创新

脱贫攻坚显著提升了中国的贫困治理效能,但这种贫困治理模式在治理理论谱系中的理论地位及意义尚不明确。相对于科层治理、市场治理和当前盛行于西方社会的新治理理论,引领型融合治理作为融合治理的一种新形态,基于非西方的新型治理实践,以一种新的新治理理论范畴弥补了治理理论的逻辑缺失。脱贫攻坚在贫困治理上取得成功的关键也在于缔造了引领型融合治理模式,即一种以单中心治理权力和多治理主体相结合为显著特征的治理体制机制创新。引领型融合治理融合了以往诸多治理模式中的若干有用元素,充分发挥出国家、市场与社会的各自优势和潜力,在提升国家治理能力的同时也扩展了国家的政治和制度能力。     

Applications of control theory to economic analysis: J.D. Pitchford and S.J. Turnovsky,Editors, Amsterdam: North-Holland, 1977, 364 pages,Dfl. 155.00

A.K. Sen's index, P, is the only measure of poverty in a population that adequately allows for numbers in poverty, intensity of average poverty, and income distribution among the poor, while respecting two natural axioms. Nevertheless, the derivatives of P possess at least four attributes, at best highly counter-intuitive, at worst inconsistent with diminishing-marginal-utility assumptions, underlying the axioms themselves. Due to problems in handling income distribution among the poor, no measure of aggregate poverty can be constructed. Instead, it is proposed to construct a simple measure of those in ultra-poverty - among whom income cannot be very unequal - plus a pair of measures of moderate poverty.
