A Comparative Study of Marxist Theory of Public Product and the Western Theory of Public Product HU Jun, JIA Kai-jun 2008, (2):  9-15.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1009KB) ( )   Marxist theory of public product studies public product and the nature of public service with respect to demand and supply.It is human-oriented,holistic,from the perspectives of demand and supplies,revolving on the common needs for social existence and development in which the market is seen as a means of supplying public products.The western theory of public product,on the other hand,views individuals or consumption as the point of departure.They regard the public product as compensation for marketing dysfunction,studying the balance of demand and supply in line with consumption preference guided by requirement of marketing.Comparing the two theories of public product may help understand public product,the nature and characteristics,forms,manners of supply and criteria for selection of public service under circumstances of socialist market economy.This is of great theoretical and practical significance.

Grasping the Life Style:Shidina and Marx——Interpretation of an Excerpt from St. Max,a Chapter in German Ideology NIE Jin-fang 2008, (2):  16-23.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (2443KB) ( )   The chapter "St.Max" has not been covered in studies of "German Ideology".This is a lengthy chapter with profound and complicated ideas.In its Preface and "The Book of Genesis,i.e.,a Man’s" in "Old Testment: Life" of Part One,there have been frequent conflicts between ideas of Marx and Shidina.For instance,if we may consider nothingness as the basis of life and career,or should life and carrer start from the real life conditions;if it is appropriate to write biography of man in abstract terms or describe and regulate the process of human development based on individual material "life" and social "life";if exploration of the spiritual world means trenscending reality or acquisition of thinking skills.All this shows the differences in view points and manners of grasping the world.As long as we admit that the world is not of one existence,one understanding,or one interpretation,we should analyze their differences in argument,logic and ideas from the point of view of a third person.This is a hard job of interpretation which cannot be acomplished merely by making simple positive or negative judgment.

Can the Peasants’ Income Be Continuously Raised through Rapid Reduction of Agricultural Tax DING Shou-hai 2008, (2):  24-30.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1642KB) ( )   This paper attempts to discuss the validity of the agricultural taxation reform and likelihood of its continuity.Both theoretical analysis and empirical evidence show that its immediate effect of increasing the income of the peasants is obvious,but with the passage of time this effect tends to decrease.Apart from existing findings,the author holds that the binary system of employment is a crucial factor that quickens the decreasing process.In light of this analysis,the author offers suggestions for reinforcing the effectiveness of the post-agricultural tax reform.Simultaneous progress in agricultural reform and urban employment,agricultural subsidies and industrial employment subsidies are emphasized.

The Dynamics of Theories of Aggregate Unemployment:A Representation and Comparison of the Neoclassical and Keynesian Models of Unemployment LI Gui-cai, Dic Lo 2008, (2):  37-43.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1419KB) ( )   The comparative analysis of the various Neoclassical and Keynesian theories of unemployment is of importance but has been unsatisfactory in the relevant literature,because of lacking a reasonable analytical framework that could faithfully represent the essential ideas of both of the two theoretical traditions.The objective of this paper is to attempt an analysis of this kind,by means of drawing and improving on the analytical framework of"alternative closures".From our comparative analysis,it can be found that both of the two traditions of macroeconomics have their respective"micro-foundations",namely,price-setting agents in Keynesian models,price-taking agents in Neoclassical models.

A Study of Incentive Theory and Its Operational Model XU Hong, YAO Yue, YANG Wan-gui 2008, (2):  44-49.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (916KB) ( )   Designing the incentive system is an essential part of enterprise management.Stephen Ross has proposed a model of incentive system guided by the agency theory based on strict assumptions.However,this model fails to solve certain theoretical problems existing within the incentive system.In addition,the strictly conditioned assumptions have restricted wide application of this model.The author maintains that it is advisable to adopt carefully designed research methods to explore the current incentive system in China in order to find out the objective theory functioning in the incentive system.These can then be referred to as supporting theories in designing the incentive model,including values of enterprises,assessment of managers as human capital,and correlation of enterprise value and assessment of managers as human capital and so on.On the basis of this,the Stephen Ross model of incentive system can be modified from a dynamic perspective,the correlation between enterprise value and assessment of managers as human capital,and dual nature of the work of managers.
