Economic Diversity and Regional Socioeconomic Performance: An Empirical Analysis of the Western Australian Grain Belt

One of the truisms ingrained in much regional development policy and practice is the claimed importance of economic diversity in contributing to socio-economic stability and well-being. There is, however, very little recent research examining this contention in the context of rural Australia. This paper examines the extent to which economic diversity affects the socio-economic performance of local areas in the Western Australian grain belt. The results indicate that employment diversity across industry sectors is clearly associated with population growth, labour force expansion, labour force participation, and rising median incomes. However, the paper also argues that economic diversity is not necessarily the cause of these changes, but simply one, albeit important, component of the dynamics of regional change.

在危机中开创生机:评武周时期的逃户措施及其意义

武周后期户口大量逃亡,对社会经济带来很大的冲击.武则天从深远和实际的利益着手,突破常规,改变逃户的法律地位,采取积极的诱导和安抚,且辅佐刑令的宽猛相济、灵活合理的户口政策,使逃户得以复籍安身.武则天的逃户措施,是一场重大和影响深远的社会经济改革.它不但化解了逃户问题所可能引起的危机,还从危机中为日益困难的财政创造生机.它的成功经验为日后朝廷制定逃户政策带来了重要的启示.更值得重视的是,它也是中国古代专制王朝从用严刑峻法取缔逃户,发展到以彻底修改法令正式承认逃户合法性的一个重要过渡.     

广东区域可达性综合探测及空间分异特征研究

本文以广东省陆路交通网络为对象,综合利用可达性度量模型对广东省区域可达性进行测算和空间特征分析,并进一步实现广东省省域的等级分区。结果表明,广东区域日可达性和时间可达性呈现出同心圆分布特征,并具有明显交通网络指向性;但在空间、交通网络结构和社会经济等因素的综合影响下,潜力可达性表现出多中心圈层的空间分异特征。研究揭示了广东省区域可达性的空间格局及分异规律,探讨了地理区位和城市发展在可达性空间分异中作用,从而为广东产业布局优化、土地集约化利用以及区域协调发展提供科学参考。     

中国城市社会阶层空间化评价的思路与方法

探索了一种专门适用于中国城市内部社会阶层空间化评价的思路与方法,提出“五等级+八阶层+三视角”的分析框架。主要过程为：①以职业身份为基础划分为八大社会阶层;②基于组织资源、经济资源、文化资源占有情况归入到五大社会经济等级并赋分值;③选取适宜的空间尺度构建城市社会阶层评价区;④提出一种平均社会阶层水平（ASC）、社会阶层区位熵（LQSC）、阶层差异指数（ISC）的计算方法,并综合评价各社会阶层区的平均社会阶层、主导社会阶层、内部阶层差异特征。将该方法应用到广州市的案例研究,结果表明：广州市社会阶层呈现明显的空间集聚与空间分异;不同社会经济等级人士具有各自不同的区位指向;不同评价单元内部的社会阶层差异程度各异,且与平均社会阶层水平趋势相反。该思路可为中国城市内部社会阶层的空间化研究提供一个可供选择的视角。     

Statistical tool for dating and interpreting archaeological contexts using pottery

Analyzing chronological patterns is one of the major issues in archaeology. How can the date of a specific context be estimated? Is it possible to identify residual and intrusive material in it at the same time? Numerous statistical methodological approaches have been developed and implemented to estimate dates but have less often addressed the issue of socio-economic area or the functional interpretation of contexts. This article deals with the construction and analysis of two different probability estimate density curves of context dates using pottery. By contrasting the two curves we can define the boundaries of the socio-economic area and make a chrono-functional interpretation of a context. This statistical tool allows the archaeologist to visualize and analyze chronological patterns easily. The method is applied to the analysis of contexts in the town of Tours in particular and more generally in the centre-west of France, based on collected pottery finds.     

宋朝卖官述略

宋朝卖官可分为制度性卖官和官员私下卖官两类。宋朝设置卖官制度,既与它崇尚文官政治有关,更与它解决财政窘急颇多关涉,故进纳授官成了宋朝卖官的主要形式。进纳人按其阶级成份,主要为乡村户中的地主和坊郭户中的富商,但由于宋朝历代对进纳得官者限制很严,所卖之官主要是虚衔,导致进纳人在官场颇受歧视,不过他们有时倚势横行,实力不可低估。而与进纳制度不同,官员的私下纳赂卖官,出售的则是实职的差遣。举凡大臣、宦官、将帅、人事部门官吏等,均不乏私下卖官自肥者,尤其自宋徽宗以降直至宋亡,私下卖官之风日益炽盛,官场腐败实与私下滥卖官衔有莫大干系。
