Less than expected—The minor role of foreign firms in upgrading domestic suppliers—The case of Vietnam

Vietnam is an important case for studying the impact of foreign firms’ backward linkages on local firms’ productivity. As an emerging economy Vietnam became the second most popular FDI destination after China in Pacific Asia since 2014. Our empirical analysis for Vietnam as a whole demonstrates a significant difference in the productivity growth between domestic suppliers who have a direct linkage with foreign firms and non-suppliers. This is also true for the Southeast Region (SE) with Ho-Chi-Minh City as economic center. However, in the Red River Delta (RRD), that difference is not statistically significant. Based on in-depth interviews with domestic suppliers, we reveal that in the RRD, effects of foreign firms on the productivity upgrading of domestic suppliers are indirect and limited while internal factors like absorptive capacity are more important for the productivity growth. These regional differences can be traced back to different regional specializations which still persist from the pre-reform era.     

马克思分工理论视角下的科学发展观

改革开放以来,随着中国经济的飞速发展,传统发展观凸显了它固有的局限性,我们党在对社会主义现代化建设规律认识不断深化的基础上,在2003年10月中共中央十六届三中全会上完整地提出了"科学发展观"。科学发展观与马克思分工理论密不可分,具有内在的一致性。马克思从科学的实践的观点出发,阐述了分工与生产力、生产关系、资源、环境等的相互关系,有助于我们今天更好地贯彻实施科学发展观。

中国高校合并前后科研生产率动态变化的Malmquist指数分析

This paper describes the dynamic changes in research productivity of Chinese higher education institutions (HEIs) before and after merger with Malmquist index, and decomposes the total factor productivity change index into catching-up effect, scale effect and frontier-shift effect. The main finding is that technological improvement and innovation are important factors to improve scientific research productivity of Chinese HEIs. __________ Translated from Qinghua Daxue Jiaoyu Yanjiu 清华大学教育研究 (Tsinghua Journal of Education), 2007, 28 (1): 62–70     

改革开放：当代中国发展进步的理性选择

新中国成立后,以毛泽东为代表的中国共产党人,在探索中国自己的生产力发展道路时,明确提出社会主义革命的目的是解放生产力,为生产力的发展创造社会条件。党的十一届三中全会以来,以邓小平为代表的中国共产党人在总结中国社会主义建设的历史经验尤其是“文化大革命”经验教训的基础上,作出了改革开放的历史性决策。30年来,中国共产党几代领导集体在理论和实践上对改革开放之路的探索,我国经济社会发展所取得的举世公认的伟大成就,充分证明了改革开放是当代中国发展进步的理性选择。     

Determinants of Research Productivity in Spanish Academia

This article aims to widen the empirical evidence about the determinants of Spanish academics’ publication productivity across fields of study. We use the Spanish Survey on Human Resources in Science and Technology addressed to Spanish resident PhDs employed in Spanish universities as academics. Productivity is measured as the total number of publications in a three‐year period. We show how personal and academic variables explain differences in productivity within universities and fields of studies and across fields of research. Female workers report lower productivity than their male counterparts, but family responsibilities do not explain this gender gap. The type of contract and tenure or rank do not seem to have any influence on productivity. Researchers seeking professional promotion rather than altruism or personal satisfaction are more productive and young scholars publish more than their older counterparts. Additionally, we find a certain research‐teaching trade‐off and some nuances in the predictors of publication productivity across birth cohorts and fields of study. Finally, international cooperation is one of the most relevant determinants of the number of publications, regardless of the birth cohort. The institutional context in the Spanish research system as regards requirements for promotion and the assessment of research outcomes may contribute to the understanding and interpretation of our results.     

邓小平以“人民利益”为基点的生产力观

邓小平的生产力观始终是以满足人民日益增长的物质化需要为出发点和最终目的的。人不仅是社会发展的动力，更是社会发展的目的。因此，邓小平强调必须立足人民利益的获得来思考如何发展和衡量生产力水平。可以说，邓小平的以人民利益为核心的生产力观既扩充了马克思主义的唯物史观，又赋予了其现实性和可行性特点。     

Does adviser mentoring add value? A longitudinal study of mentoring and doctoral student outcomes

This study of the impact of doctoral adviser mentoring on student outcomes was undertaken in response to earlier research that found (a) students with greater incoming potential received more adviser mentoring, and (b) adviser mentoring did not significantly contribute to important student outcomes, including research productivity [Green, S. G., and Bauer, T. N. (1995). Personnel Psychology 48(3): 537–561]. In this longitudinal study spanning 5 1/2 years, the effect of mentorship on the research productivity, career commitment, and self-efficacy of Ph.D. students in the ‘hard’ sciences was assessed, while controlling for indicators of ability and attitudes at program entry. Positive benefits of mentoring were found for subsequent productivity and self-efficacy. Mentoring was not significantly associated with commitment to a research career.
