基于委托代理的高校教师学术寻租行为的博弈分析

高校和高校教师之间是一个标准的委托代理关系,由于学校与教师的信息不对称,当教师的行为不能被校方完全观察时,在自身利益最大化的驱使下,教师可以利用信息优势,产生机会主义行为的动机,将一部分精力用于学术腐败以达到学校规定的学术任务,我们称之为学术寻租行为.本文基于高校与教师的委托--代理关系,对教师的学术寻租行为建立博弈模型,并进行求解,提出治理高校教师学术寻租行为的政策建议.

评蒯因的本体论承诺理论

蒯因用现代逻辑工具构造了一个比较完善的本体论承诺学说,把本体论重拾回哲学的殿堂,此理论有相当的贡献,但其局限性使其应用起来极为困难。     

Natural diversity: A neo-essentialist misconstrual of homeostatic property cluster theory in natural kind debates

In natural kind debates, Boyd's famous Homeostatic Property Cluster theory (HPC) is often misconstrued in two ways: Not only is it thought to make for a normative standard for natural kinds, but also to require the homeostatic mechanisms underlying nomological property clusters to be uniform. My argument for the illegitimacy of both overgeneralizations, both on systematic as well as exegetical grounds, is based on the misconstrued view's failure to account for functional kinds in science. I illustrate the combination of these two misconstruals with recent entries into the natural kind debate about emotions. Finally, I examine and reject Stich's “Kornblith-Devitt method” as a potential justification of these misconstruals.     

A Neuro‐wavelet Model for the Short‐Term Forecasting of High‐Frequency Time Series of Stock Returns

We propose a wavelet neural network (neuro‐wavelet) model for the short‐term forecast of stock returns from high‐frequency financial data. The proposed hybrid model combines the capability of wavelets and neural networks to capture non‐stationary nonlinear attributes embedded in financial time series. A comparison study was performed on the predictive power of two econometric models and four recurrent neural network topologies. Several statistical measures were applied to the predictions and standard errors to evaluate the performance of all models. A Jordan net that used as input the coefficients resulting from a non‐decimated wavelet‐based multi‐resolution decomposition of an exogenous signal showed a consistent superior forecasting performance. Reasonable forecasting accuracy for the one‐, three‐ and five step‐ahead horizons was achieved by the proposed model. The procedure used to build the neuro‐wavelet model is reusable and can be applied to any high‐frequency financial series to specify the model characteristics associated with that particular series.

Making the abstract concrete: The role of norms and values in experimental modeling

Experimental modeling is the construction of theoretical models hand in hand with experimental activity. As explained in Section 1, experimental modeling starts with claims about phenomena that use abstract concepts, concepts whose conditions of realization are not yet specified; and it ends with a concrete model of the phenomenon, a model that can be tested against data. This paper argues that this process from abstract concepts to concrete models involves judgments of relevance, which are irreducibly normative. In Section 2, we show, on the basis of several case studies, how these judgments contribute to the determination of the conditions of realization of the abstract concepts and, at the same time, of the quantities that characterize the phenomenon under study. Then, in Section 3, we compare this view on modeling with other approaches that also have acknowledged the role of relevance judgments in science. To conclude, in Section 4, we discuss the possibility of a plurality of relevance judgments and introduce a distinction between locally and generally relevant factors.     

实验检验累积前景理论

累积前景理论是前景理论的改进版本.前者使用CE范式对美国被试进行研究,得出如下几点结论:(1)人们的风险态度呈四分模式;(2)概率中大时,得时的风险回避比失时的风险寻求更明显;(3)价值函数的指数、权重函数的指数都小于1.采用相同的范式对中国被试进行考察,发现:(1)仍适用;(3)并不总是适用;(2)总是并不适用.

广义进化的定义

广义进化的基本理论,尤其是一些基本概念有待研究。要找到广义进化的准确定义,必须分析清楚四个关系：第一,有序与适应性的关系;第二,进化与复杂化的关系;第三,复杂与有序的关系;第四,复杂与适应性的关系。序参量的评价标准应该是系统功能的总价值,只有当系统的新结构导致新功能出现时,才会使有序度增大。进化就是复杂化,复杂化就是创新,就是对称性破缺程度增大的过程,广义进化是所有物质系统的复杂化过程。
