杜甫《登高》诗中的乐观主义精神探微

杜甫写于唐大历二年(767年)秋天的《登高》诗,虽是其晚年凄凉与孤独生活状态的真实写照,但诗中却充满着令人激动的气势.这种气势不仅源于杜甫对登高文学传统的继承,亦是其晚年面对迁逝之感时昂扬生命意识的展现.除了感时伤事,诗中还深刻蕴含着杜甫晚年的壮阔情怀以及乐观主义精神,这种精神与夔州相对安定的生活有着密切关联,更是其儒家思想的重要体现.     

Genetic distance,international experience and the performance of cross-border R&D for EMNEs

Cross-border R&D can contribute to the enhancement of independent innovation capabilities of emerging markets multinational enterprises (EMNEs) by benefiting from knowledge management. However, scant research exists examining the location impact of cross-border R&D for EMNEs on performance implications. This paper fills this important theoretical gap by building upon the literature of genetic distance in connection with knowledge management. We use a panel data of Chinese high-tech listed companies to empirically examine the impact of genetic distance on the performance of cross-border R&D and the role played by international experience. Our results reveal a positive relationship between genetic distance and the performance of cross-border R&D. Importantly, we highlight the motivation for cross-border R&D of EMNEs to acquire technical knowledge magnifies the positive effects of genetic distance and performance. Furthermore, our analysis indicates that international experience significantly enhanced the positive effect of genetic distance on cross-border R&D performance. We conclude this paper by discussing theoretical contributions to genetic distance, international management and knowledge management, as well as practical implications for cross-border R&D of EMNEs.

大数据背景下网络调查样本的建模推断问题研究——以广义Boosted模型的倾向得分推断为例

随着大数据和网络的不断发展，网络调查越来越广泛，大部分网络调查样本属于非概率样本，难以采用传统的抽样推断理论进行推断，如何解决网络调查样本的推断问题是大数据背景下网络调查发展的迫切需求。本文首次从建模的角度提出了解决该问题的基本思路：一是入样概率的建模推断，可以考虑构建基于机器学习与变量选择的倾向得分模型来估计入样概率推断总体；二是目标变量的建模推断，可以考虑直接对目标变量建立参数、非参数或半参数超总体模型进行估计；三是入样概率与目标变量的双重建模推断，可以考虑进行倾向得分模型与超总体模型的加权估计与混合推断。最后，以基于广义Boosted模型的入样概率建模推断为例演示了具体解决方法。     

黑格尔《逻辑学》中的"坏无限"与"真无限"

"无限"概念在黑格尔的哲学中,乃至在整个德国观念论思想中都处于至关重要的地位,深入理解无限的意义内涵、显现形态和达到方式,对理解黑格尔哲学的结构、动力和目的来说非常关键.在作为科学之形式的《逻辑学》中,无限及其两个核心形态——坏的无限与真的无限——最早在实有的部分得到了专题的讨论.依据对这部分文本的解读,梳理和总结两种无限的结构特点,并揭示其背后理性的运作机制.     

基于数量柔性契约的双源应急物资采购定价模型

针对灾害事件发生的不确定性以及灾害发生后应急物资需求量的爆发式增长，本文设计了一个政府主导的基于数量柔性契约的双源应急物资采购模型。在存在一个现货市场的情况下，政府除了常规采购外，还会与供应方签订一份数量柔性契约，用以建立政企联合储备应急物资的合作关系。通过数理推导，本文发现灾害事件发生概率，政府自身储备量，现货市场采购价格会对双方决策产生重要影响，并给出三个影响因素在满足不同条件时政企双方的最优决策，同时进一步分析了这三个因素对政府采购成本与供应方利润的影响。最后，通过数值模拟的方式对所得结论进行了验证。本文的研究为政府与企业构建联合储备应急物资的合作关系提供了指导与依据。
