高质量发展背景下黄河流域中下游绿色生产率时空分异研究

高质量发展背景下，以绿色全要素生产率（GTFP）视角考察黄河流域中下游各地市2003—2018年间的经济发展质量。首先，对GTFP进行测度并与传统TFP比较分析；其次，对GTFP增长率的内在动力进行解构；最后，采用变异系数和回归分析检验GTFP的收敛趋势，并验证其增长率的影响因素。结果表明：①GTFP较传统TFP表现出“中部塌陷”为特征的非均衡分布；②2003—2013年间，技术效率的提升是GTFP增长的主要推动力，2013年后技术前沿水平转变为主要动力；③在“追赶”效应下，各地市GTFP的差异呈缓慢缩小趋势；④该区域GTFP的提高受产业结构、财政科技投入等因素的显著影响。     

Mentoring across difference: success and struggle in an academic geography career

Abstract

This autobiographical account of a black female feminist geographer’s experiences with mentoring and success in the academy offers analysis, lessons and strategies. My distinctive graduate school experience, with a pioneering all-female feminist geographers dissertation committee, plus a complex mix of intentional and fortuitous multidimensional mentoring has contributed to a successful academic geography career. Yet, I’ve had to overcome obstacles stemming from intersections of gender and other forms of difference, primarily race and immigrant status. Although there are limits to mentoring practices that emphasize caring and collegiality, I highlight and recommend feminist-inspired mentoring strategies that forge alliances across race-ethnicity, gender, nationality, generation, institutional and locational differences as interventions that lessen the struggles, challenges or marginalization reported by many foreign-born black feminist geographers and other women of color in US institutions of higher education.     

Economic Geography as Dissenting Institutionalism: The Embeddedness, Evolution and Differentiation of Regions

This paper endorses recent pleas for an ‘institutional turn’ within economic geography. In particular, it reveals and connects the coherence and distinctiveness of dissenting institutional economics as a way of thinking for economic geography. Economic geographers have recognized this tradition but its continuity and compass is not fully appreciated. To provide such an appreciation, this paper argues that the paradigmatic distinctiveness of dissenting institutionalism rests especially on its recognition that real world economies are embedded, have histories or evolve, and are different. The discussion is based around these three cornerstone principles of embeddedness, evolution and difference. For the future, greater attention to the region as an institution, albeit a complex one, along with greater attention to the synthesis of multi‐dimensional processes that are normally analyzes as separate conceptual categories, is encouraged.
