Valuing the benefits of the education provided by public universities: A case study of Minnesota

This study estimates the value of the private and public benefits that accrue to Minnesota residents from state government subsidies to higher education. In 2005, the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system received $832 million from Minnesota's state government to support educational programs. These subsidies allow these institutions to offer lower tuition rates, increasing the number of Minnesotans with bachelor and graduate degrees. We calculate that removing these subsidies would eventually lead to 14,000 fewer graduate degree holders in Minnesota, and reduce those with bachelor's degrees or “some college” by 42,000. The annual economic cost of these subsidies is about $326 million; this is less than annual state appropriations because most of those appropriations are income transfers from taxpayers to students, not an economic cost. We estimate that the annual value of the benefits of these subsidies is between $531 and $786 million ($381 and $570 million) when a 3% (5%) discount rate is used. We also discuss some of the income distribution consequences.     

Does food insecurity at home affect non-cognitive performance at school? A longitudinal analysis of elementary student classroom behavior

This paper estimates models of the transitional effects of food insecurity experiences on children's non-cognitive performance in school classrooms using a panel of 4710 elementary students enrolled in 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade (1999-2003). In addition to an extensive set of child and household-level characteristics, we use information on U.S. counties to control for potential confounding effects of the local economic and noneconomic environment on children's household transitions between states of food insecurity and food security. The time horizon of our analysis affords insight into factors underlying children's formation of non-cognitive skills and the efficiency of classroom-based educational production in elementary school. Overall, we find significant negative developmental effects for children with food insecurity at home; and that children experiencing an early transition from food insecurity in 1st grade to food security in 3rd grade have even larger impairments that persist through 5th grade.     

R.H.托尼教育改革活动初探

作为20世纪上半叶英国著名的教育改革家,R.H.托尼对当时英国的教育改革做出了巨大的贡献:一方面,通过为工人教育委员会创办研究班和一战后对该协会的领导,他在改善英国工人阶级命运的事业中进行了有益的探索;另一方面,他还扮演了工党和政府教育政策制定人的角色,帮助它们起草了许多意义重大的报告和法案,为全民教育在英国的实现打下了坚实的基础。

化学反应动力学

氟原子加氢分子及其同位素分子的反应(F+H2/D2/HD)在化学反应动力学的研究发展中一直扮演着重要的角色。在过去的10年里,科学家们通过精心设计的实验和高精度的理论计算,使得有关该反应体系的态-态动力学研究,特别是对反应机制、过渡态结构及其动力学性质、非绝热效应的认识有了长足的进步,得到了有关F+H2这个教科书式的反应体系动力学行为的结论性的研究成果。     

H指数和G指数在专利权人评价中的实证研究——以电通信中“数字信息的传输”技术为例

专利,作为集技术情报、经济情报、商业情报等于一体的知识载体,在分析高技术企业的技术水平方面有重要的作用。在前人将H指数应用于专利权人分析的基础上,进一步将G指数移植到专利权人的评价中,并对源于德温特专利数据库的2001-2010年的电通信技术中的数字信息的传输中的相关专利权人,进行了比较。通过专利量、H指数和G指数的分析,本文发现日、韩和我国的部分企业在专利量方面有优异的表现,然而在H指数和G指数所显示的技术实力方面,却远不如美国、欧洲的高科技企业。
