题目:Education Popularization and Long-term Income of Rural Residents: Evidence from China's Anti-illiteracy Campaign
摘要:This article examines the long-term impacts of basic education popularization policy, the Anti-illiteracy Campaign in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China on rural residents’ income. The findings are as follows. (1) The Anti-illiteracy Campaign can significantly increase the long-term income of residents, especially rural women. (2) Its returns to education have an intergenerational transmission effect. Specifically, the offspring of the residents affected by the Anti-illiteracy Campaign also have higher income. (3) According to the investigation of its impact mechanisms, it mainly improves the local human capital cultivation and education awareness level so as to increase the returns to education for the residents affected by the Anti-illiteracy Campaign and their offspring. (4) It promotes rural residents’ other life quality indicators and welfare level with obvious inclusive characteristics by examining its long-term impacts on residents’ consumption, well-being, health and fertility desire.

题目:资源错配与收入分配——基于行业和企业层面的理论初探
摘要:解决收入差距需要从初次分配发力,持续完善市场体系,提升要素配置效率,改善要素收入分配格局。但是受特定政策、市场垄断、金融抑制等因素影响,很长一段时期内我国资源配置的低效率(即资源错配)依然较为严重。资源错配除了造成经济效率损失,也会因扭曲要素收入分配导致分配不公(Hsieh等2019)。本研究从异质性行业和企业两个层面构建资源错配模型,探讨资源错配影响要素收入分配格局的内在机制。

题目:Menu-Dependent Risk Attitudes: Theory and Evidence
摘要:We test for a novel pattern of menu-dependent risk attitudes that forms the basis of some recent theories of risky choice: does expanding the range of potential prizes from lotteries in a choice set lead people to overweight those prizes and make riskier choices? Contrary to our hypothesis, we find no evidence of such a menu effect. Varying the potential prize offered by an actuarially unfavorable, high-risk lottery does not affect the likelihood of choosing a different, moderate-risk gamble in favor of a safer alternative. Our well-powered null results cast doubt on prominent theories of menu-dependent risk preferences, but are potentially consistent with either probability weighting or expected utility with heterogeneous risk preferences.
