新冠肺炎疫情下我国农产品供需失衡的形成机制研究

农产品供需失衡是新冠肺炎爆发初期疫情严重国家所面临的普遍难题,给农业生产者收入和城市消费者福利造成重大损失。在现有文献基础上,指出新冠肺炎疫情下我国农产品供需失衡：生产端农产品销售困难、农民损失惨重,消费端农产品供应偏紧、居民福利受损的基本特征。运用不确定性经济学理论,系统分析我国农产品供需失衡问题形成的内在机制,认为新冠肺炎疫情的突然爆发,给农产品流通从业人员的健康安全带来严重的不确定性,导致农产品流通成本猛然增加,使得农产品交易与物流被迫中断,是疫情下供需失衡的主要原因。因此,建议我国政府在新的重大疫情爆发之时,应及时推行公共卫生事件健康保险,鼓励农产品流通模式创新,增加农产品流通临时补贴、定向发布疫情风险等级信息,开展从业人员防疫能力培训,以降低疫情爆发所产生的额外成本,保障农产品供应链的有效运转和农业产业链的安全稳定,避免类似的供需失衡问题再度发生。     

Assessing the Potential Impact of Integrated Agricultural Research for Development (IAR4D) on Adoption of Improved Cereal-Legume Crop Varieties in the Sudan Savannah Zone of Nigeria

This article provides an assessment of the potential impact of operationalizing agricultural innovation platforms (IPs) in the Sudan Savannah zone of Nigeria on adoption of improved maize/legume crop varieties, as measured by the potential outcome approach. The results show that, if the whole population in the intervention area were exposed to these varieties, the adoption rate could be increased to 69% instead of 49%. The study also shows that exposure, as well as adoption, is influenced by numerous social and institutional factors and suggests that the operationalization of IPs could help boost the adoption rate to around 51%.

The geography of the wages: Chinese cities 1989 and 1997

Improving national average income and reducing regional income inequality often serve as dual goals of economic development in a country. After over twenty years of economic reforms, China has been fairly successful in achieving the first goal, but failed in the second. This paper uses recent data with a sharper resolution to examine the variation of average wages across Chinese cities 1989–1997. Widening wage inequalities across cities are observed during the period. This research also seeks to explain the variation of wages between cities by factors such as agglomeration (density and city size), location advantages (distances from central cities and from the coastline), educational attainment, industrial structure and administrative hierarchy. Many of the factors are found to be important in explaining wage differences in Western countries but are yet to be tested in China. Some factors such as distance from the coast, industrial structure and administrative hierarchy are considered because of China’s unique social and economic systems.     

Legal Ponder over the Agent of Environmental Impact Assessment

Conditional Value-at-Risk and Its Use in Credit Risk Measurement of Banks

Credit risk, the major risk of bank, is more and more intense during the period of economic restructuring in China. In view of the flaw of present risk measurement system, Conditional Value-at-Risk is used for the credit risk measurement which is better than Value-at-Risk. This paper creates the model ,while gives the method and procedure for solving it. So CVaRof credit combination is produced, which is just the early warning value of credit risk. At last, it is concluded that the CVaRrisk measurement is too difficult to use widely at present in china, then some advice is provided.
