戏说奥运门票之经济学 - 0 views

  • VIP的奥运门票大概和天价月饼一样,是中国现阶段市场经济的特殊现象,反映了社会资源的分配现状
  • 此前的"天价月饼猜想"再次浮现在脑海。天价月饼这种"畸形产品"的存在,与奥运VIP票有几大共通点:  第一,自己享用的效用常常低于流通价值,后者随时间推延迅速递减,导致送票与送月饼一样,是与时间赛跑的行为。(这也是笔者得以如此幸运,在“鸟巢”马拉松开赛的七个小时前,即上周六的深夜,会撞到贵宾包厢票的主要原因。)  第二,边际效用迅速递减,而资源向高端人群严重倾斜,高端人群没有动力使用市场机制转让。用人话来说就是,少数有票的不稀罕,也懒得卖。  结果便是,空着的贵宾包厢。■

  • “ 咳,您想到哪儿去了?”周嫂笑逐颜开,“您看看说明,这可不是毒药。这药叫冬眠丸,是中科院最新的研究成果,吃一粒能睡一个月,就像熊瞎子冬眠似的,不吃 不喝,至多舔舔您那掌就行了。睡一个月醒过来,奥运开完了,车也能出门了,厂子也开工了,蔬菜也新鲜了,您家大叔的手术也能做了,这多好的事啊。”

多难兴邦与制度建设-财经观察-《财经网》 - 0 views

  • 从年初的冰雪灾害,到如今的汶川大地震,都显示出既有机制尚不能完全满足实际需求。面对中国社会经济发展现实,现行高度军事化的救灾模式之有效性值得肯定,但也必须看到其中的不足。同样值得警惕的是,无论如何,不应将强有力的政府简化为“大政府”,甚至因此缅怀命令经济的“优越性”。
  • 答案越来越清晰:中国需要一个建立在法治基础之上的、权力与责任明晰的、落实到专门机构、中央与地方分工明确的巨灾风险管理体系。
  • 这一体系当能对巨灾风险进行识别和评估。需要统一管理,需要科学对待,需要成本投入,尤其需要法治意义上的公开透明。  风险识别和评估的范畴远比“预报”或预测广泛,其核心内涵是风险识别和信息共享。

  • 另外,为了提高复兴工程的整体效率,还应该大力加强协调机制,承认和鼓励NGO、NPO以及志愿者的自发性团体的网络化合作。考虑到社会对重大事件的热情关注往往不超过半年、夏季奥运会难免要加快震灾记忆的风化的严峻现实,不得不对各种民间组织的积极作用寄予更殷切的期待。与此相关的举措,还有促进邻里互助、社区相安的自组织化过程,以防止灾民的孤独、绝望等心理病态。  房屋街道可以顷刻毁灭,但人际关系是不会毁灭的,并将构成震后复兴事业的一种非常重要的社会资本。为了减少乃至克服孤独、紧张等心理障碍、最大限度削减重建社区的各种成本,应该尽量采取各居住单位的灾民集体移居新区的举措,避免那种忽视个人意愿和社交需要的分散安置。在维护和修复灾区社群关系方面,各种民间团体同样可以发挥积极的作用。正是在这个意义上,汶川地震灾区的复兴过程,也构成公民社会复兴的一个重大契机。

Quake shakes Beijing's grip on media « Peace and Freedom '08 - 0 views

  • The government now faces a tricky predicament: Having loosened its restraints on information flow this time, a return to its old ways at the next sign of difficulty could backfire. “The government should learn a positive lesson: When it allows freer information flow it is better for its image and legitimacy,” Mr. Xiao said. “But this will not always be a case, especially if the next crisis is man-made
  • China’s online censors can be merciless in their deletion of blog postings or forum comments that are deemed “too sensitive,” particularly involving anything to do with the so-called “Three T’s”: Tiananmen, Tibet and Taiwan. Post-earthquake negativity, though, has been tolerated. “Nine billion yuan [$1.3 billion] has been raised but how much will actually get to the disaster zone?” one skeptical commenter asked on a forum on Baidu, China’s leading search engine. Discussions focusing on discrepancies between the amount of donations declared by the Chinese Red Cross and the corresponding numbers issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs also have met with minimal interference, Mr. Kennedy said. However, the government has not turned a blind eye. More than a dozen people have been arrested for “spreading rumors” online, and political blogger Guo Quan was detained for questioning the risks posed by cracked dams and damaged nuclear facilities.

Crisis and Response - Part III - 0 views

  • Furthermore, China will be tested for its willingness and ability to play a more active international role, commensurate to its growing world-power status.
  • While it is understandable that the Chinese public has been emotionally involved in such a calamity so close to home, the country will command universal respect when its government and its citizens display as much care to other humanitarian crises around the world as they have at home.

The earthquake in Sichuan | China helps itself | Economist.com - 0 views

  • Much of the volunteer effort has involved individuals or small groups. China is still wary of large NGOs and has none that is truly independent of the government specialising in disaster relief. But in recent years the party has begun to acknowledge more openly that there may a role for them. Official press coverage of the earthquake, although careful to highlight the party's contributions, has also paid rare tribute to the unofficial volunteers. The government has been encouraging firms to give more generously to worthy causes. From this year it has increased tax incentives for corporate donations to charities. But this applies to only a small number of government-approved organisations. For the sake of earthquake relief the authorities are letting down their guard. But the government gives little encouragement to new NGOs and often treats the small existing ones as potential germs of political opposition. The response to this disaster might ease its fears.

汶川:为什么建筑会成为生命的杀手?(by 方振宁) - 思维的乐趣BLOG - 0 views

  • 这是一篇几天前应约写好的文章,可是没有媒体愿意刊登它,我试问过四家国内主流媒体和一家外国媒体中文网,都被婉言拒绝或无回音.我要说明的是最后两段是现在加的.我不能再等待,网络在中国可能是相对最快的媒体,作为从事建筑评论的我,必须在第一时间对事态做出本能和职业性的反应,晚了和没做都是失职,可惜这篇文章已经晚了几天,我是在地震发生的第二天,就注意到这个问题.网络上的照片足以说明问题所在.当然要履行法律程序还要更详细的取证

  • 在这次地震之后,中华民族和中国社会表现出空前的凝聚力。到目前为止,社会各界捐助的善款已经超过100亿元。但是,如果没有具体的制度和机构作保证,没有更加具体、甚至具体到细节的行动和执行(这一点和做企业没有什么两样),这100个亿对于灾区饱受煎熬的百姓来说,可能仅仅是一个远水解不了近渴的数字而已。

请站在受灾者和良知者的角度思考这些问题 (转) - 风吹浮世 - 网易博客 - 0 views

  • 政府是个大概念,中国也是个集合体,不能因为政府已经有人在做事,就只能感恩而不能监督了,更不能因为一些领导干部让人感动,一些职能部门积极救灾,就不该计较其他的一些失职者和过失者了。并且,反思曾经的漏洞和缺陷,批评和补救,不仅对于逝者有个交代,对于生者来说,也是亡羊补牢。其实,也不会有哪个政府会因为被挑刺了,被严格要求了,就幼稚和脆弱到伤了感情,不再积极救灾。
  • 不过,苦难的感染力的确太强,越来越多的媒体和越来越多的人被撼动,被唤醒,开始真心实意地说话。新闻的内容和宣传的内容,对比愈烈。

年轻藏人说:我们的喉管被人给割了! - 转载·记录,Woeser, - 0 views

  • 藏獒变为宠物就是我们的当代历史 huazhongcuo   雕塑在人民大会堂门口的布达拉 就像一条哈巴狗一样被拴在那里   在那遥远的都市 我还看见勇猛的藏獒 也早已变成富婆们的宠物   藏人的梦想无疑就是那些随风而去的隆达 和拴在山顶上的经幡   从失散的赞普世家到如今的三分五划 篝火烧去了藏獒的忠诚   诗情虚幻了藏獒的勇猛 变成了都市最可爱的宠物   我们还重复着跳不完的锅庄 我们还继续着唱不完的史诗   藏獒变为宠物就是我们的当代历史!

人渣经济笔记: 谁的货币,谁的问题 - 0 views

  • 量的美元资产。美元的贬值,你可以说是美国人利用世界货币的地位,把人筐了进来,做了非常不负责任的事情;你也可以说是很多人惯坏了美国,如果没有中国,印度,俄罗斯,日本这些国家大笔的借给美国人钱,美元早就贬了,正是大笔外资的流入让美元早就应该发生的贬值推迟到最近几年才发生。这里面如果有阴谋,那么那些因为美元贬值受损的国家也是合谋者,这不是一个美国人一方就能玩转的阴谋。 事实上,还有人说这是一个中国人的阴谋。Michael Dooley说,这是布雷顿森林体系之二,但这次不是美国人让外国的货币盯住美元,而是美元被迫被外国的货币盯住,并且盯在了一个太高的美元汇率。其结果是美国人进口了太多的外国货,而那些出口国通过低汇率获得高出口和高增长。联储主席伯南克其实也说过,他说美国借了那么多钱不是美国的问题,而是存在全球储蓄过剩,换句话说是不是美国借得太多,而是其它国家,比如说中国存得太多-是中国人存的钱太多让全世界到处都是很便宜的钱,导致了美国人抵制不住诱惑多借了一点。
