我国社会保险关系转移和接续问题研究

劳动力要素的自由流动对我国市场经济体制的完善无疑有着极其重要的作用。比如可以提高要素的配置效率、加快城市化建设等作用。在现实中,我国劳动力要素的自由流动不但受到除户籍制度、劳动关系等客观社会基本关系的制约,还受到社会保险关系的制约,各地频繁出现的"退保"等现象,就说明社会保险关系转移和接续难。劳动力在不同地区很难实现自由流动,势必产生了不良的后果.直接损害了劳动者的权益,也影响了社会保险制度的完善。不完善的社会保险制度更加加剧社会的不公平,在构建和谐社会的今天,社会保险关系的顺利衔接无疑更有紧迫性和必要性。本文在了解我国目前劳动力的社会保险关系转移的现状的基础上,运用制度经济学和管理学的相关理论,较为深入地分析了社会保险关系正常流动难的原因,如统筹层次低、转轨成本的未完全消化等原因,并提出了相应的对策、建议。     

昆山市22年来耕地流失研究

以昆山市1985～2006年共22a间的耕地面积变化及与之相关的总户籍人口、非农业人口、第一产业从业人口、地区生产总值、人均地区生产总值、第一产业生产总值、第二产业生产总值、粮食总产量和社会固定资产投资等9种社会经济指标为研究对象,采用变化率相关分析、主成分阶段分类等新方法对目前耕地流失研究中常用的相关分析、主成分分析等数学方法进行改进。研究结果表明:(1)新方法在耕地流失主要驱动因素分析和阶段划分方面具有独特的优势,同时能够通过回归方程的验证,所得结论可信度较高;(2)昆山市耕地流失的首要驱动因素为以人均地区生产总值为代表的社会经济水平的提高,同时人口增长和第二产业的发展加剧了耕地流失状况;(3)昆山市耕地流失按照所受压力对农业发展的影响可以分为3个阶段,分别为1985～1994年的未限制阶段、1995～1997年制约平衡阶段和1998～2006年限制阻碍阶段。     

Existential threat and compliance with pro-environmental norms

Recent research on the effects of personal threat suggests that perceived threat might enhance pro-environmental behavior when pro-environmental norms are in focus. In three experiments we found support for the latter assumption, showing that mortality salience and salience of pro-environmental norms interacted in predicting pro-environmental attitudes and information search (Study 1), sustainable behavior in a forest management game (Study 2), as well as pro-environmental intentions and behavior (Study 3). Specifically, mortality salience increased pro-environmental conduct only when pro-environmental norms were salient. Moreover, norm salience only had an effect on pro-environmental attitudes and behavior when the threat of personal mortality was salient. We discuss the implications of these results for both terror management theory and the promotion of pro-environmental behaviors.     

生态哲学的功能与生态素质的提升

生态素质作为以生态世界观和生态方法论为核心、以生态价值观和生态伦理观为观照、以生态思维方式和生态行为规范为主要内容的人的内化物,它必然体现当今乃至未来人类素质的主体内容和发展的主导趋势。在新的历史条件下,生态哲学的研究应全面强化在有效提升人的生态素质方面的独特功能。     

Conservatism vs. conservationism: differential influences of social identities on beliefs about fracking

ABSTRACT

Although recent expansions in hydraulic fracking operations across the United States have led to greater news coverage and attention from the public, overall understanding remains fairly low. For some, relevant social identities, including environmental or political, may provide a short cut to becoming informed about fracking, or to determining what they believe about it and how that influences their positions on fracking policies. Social identity influence frameworks provide an approach to understanding the relationships between belief and identity, which this study investigates through its affiliational and attitudinal components. National survey data are used to model pathways from environmental and political identities to beliefs about risks associated with fracking. Environmental attitudes significantly predicted belief that fracking has health risks, and mediated a relationship from environmental group affiliation, but environmental information was not significant. Ideology had direct and indirect effects, through partisan media use, while partisanship had direct effects on beliefs about environmental risks.     

基于社会经济核算矩阵的江西省氮磷减排调控方案研究

通过编制江西省2002年包含环境账户的社会经济核算矩阵(ESAM)研究了江西省征收排污费与分类实施氮磷营养盐减排补贴对18个产业生产收益的影响。研究结果表明:不同氮磷减排调控方案对各产业产值的边际影响存在差异。总体上看,除部分服务业,调整氮磷排污费的征收标准对各部门生产收益的整体影响并不大,氮磷排放越少的产业受调控影响的产值变化较大;而调整氮（或磷）营养盐的减排补贴对各产业生产收益的边际影响较为显著,氮（或磷）排放越多的产业生产收益增加幅度越大,污染治理部门及其他氮（或磷）排放不太相关的产业生产收益变化甚微。综合比较3种减排调控方案,实施氮磷营养盐减排补贴对江西省产业发展影响最为显著     

Variation in implementation of corporate social responsibility practices in emerging economies' firms: A survey of Chilean fruit exporters

As in many sectors in emerging economies, the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become important for exporting agri‐food firms in view of their integration in global supply chains. The purpose of this research was to assess the implementation by Chilean fruit exporters of CSR practices that go beyond minimum legal requirements. The principal results are that, although socio‐economic components of CSR such as poverty reduction and socially just working conditions receive much attention, firms consider comprehensive environmental practices as less important. The results also indicate a slightly higher implementation of comprehensive CSR practices by large firms as compared to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). The main conclusion is that, although CSR is increasingly considered by Chilean firms, among SMEs in particular, more attention needs to be paid to raising awareness among managers about CSR practices and to providing assistance in their implementation. This supports findings on CSR implementation in other emerging economies that an active role of civil society and industry organizations is key and that targeted support strategies are needed to install a holistic awareness of CSR and help firms to improve on those aspects of CSR that are relatively underdeveloped.     

The road towards sustainable rural development: issues of theory,policy and research practice

Developing a more widespread diffusion of sustainable agricultural practices as part of progressing rural sustainable development is being hampered by different modes of environmental social thought. This introduction to this special issue on ‘Reconstituting of nature through rural development practices’ argues for a realignment of social theory and empirical practice in considering the real potentiality of alternative and emergent rural development cases. The social science of agro-ecology is introduced as an initial framework within which to assess such alternatives and emerging tendencies. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Post-Fordist transformation,the sustainability concept and social relations with nature: a case study of the Hamburg region

Following the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the concept of sustainability in general and of urban sustainability in particular has become increasingly significant in the course of the 1990s. Even if the environmental problems of cities are far from being solved, one can interpret this development as a change in the relationship between society and nature on both a discursive and a material level. At the same time the transition from Fordism to post-Fordism has given rise to new forms of urban entrepreneurialism, with an absolute priority to economic competitiveness on the one hand and sharpened social conflicts on the other. Looking at the case of the Hamburg region, the article discusses the interaction of these processes. Contrary to the understanding of sustainability as a broadly accepted policy goal it conceptualizes sustainability as a terrain of conflict. As such, we will argue, the sustainability concept and the underlying change in social relations with nature contribute to containing the contradictions of capitalist societalization, which in the transition to post-Fordism have become more visible again.
