A case study of redundant defence workers

In this article, the influence of conflict on the economies of neighbouring countries is discussed. The results from previous papers show a strong negative effect for an entire area around a country suffering from conflict, but this paper reaches a different conclusion, by using more recent data and adjusting the methodology previously employed. Additionally, a new type of contiguity matrix is constructed and used in the actual analysis. The final analysis consists of a large number of regressions and concludes that conflict actually has two opposing effects. First, like conflict countries themselves, directly contiguous countries actually suffer from the negative effects of proximate conflict. Secondly, however, there is also a positive spillover of conflict, which affects non‐contiguous countries and this effect is larger for countries that are closer to the conflict country. The results from the paper predominantly hold for the most violent kind of conflict.     

Economic Performance And Terrorist Activity In Latin America

We investigate the link between economic performance and terrorism for 18 Latin American countries from 1970 to 2007, taking into account the potentially complex nature of this link. Panel causality analysis findings indicate that during this period, terrorism had no causal effect on economic growth. By contrast, we find that growth reduced terrorism in the less developed but not in the higher developed Latin American economies. We argue that group-specific differences (linked to patterns of economic development) govern this causal heterogeneity. From a series of negative binomial regressions we gain additional support for our findings, while also identifying further determinants of terrorism.     

Revisiting the Defense–Growth nexus in European countries

This study revisits the long run and dynamic causal linkages between defense spending and economic growth in 15 selected European countries for the period 1988–2010 by utilizing recent developments in non-stationary panel data analysis. To this end, the series properties of per capita defense spending, per capita real capita stocks, and per capita real GDP are investigated by the panel unit root tests with and without breaks that support evidence on unit root. The panel cointegration tests with and without breaks are also subsequently employed to investigate whether there exists a long-run equilibrium relationship between these three variables. Finally, our causality analysis from panel vector error-correction model suggests that there is a feedback relation between real capital stock and real GDP in both short and long run, a one-way Granger causality running from real GDP to defense spending in both short and long run, and defense spending only Granger causes real capital stock in the long run.

A produce‐to‐stock system with advance demand information and secondary customers

We consider a manufacturer (i.e., a capacitated supplier) that produces to stock and has two classes of customers. The primary customer places orders at regular intervals of time for a random quantity, while the secondary customers request a single item at random times. At a predetermined time the manufacturer receives advance demand information regarding the order size of the primary customer. If the manufacturer is not able to fill the primary customer's demand, there is a penalty. On the other hand, serving the secondary customers results in additional profit; however, the manufacturer can refuse to serve the secondary customers in order to reserve inventory for the primary customer. We characterize the manufacturer's optimal production and stock reservation policies that maximize the manufacturer's discounted profit and the average profit per unit time. We show that these policies are threshold‐type policies, and these thresholds are monotone with respect to the primary customer's order size. Using a numerical study we provide insights into how the value of information is affected by the relative demand size of the primary and secondary customers. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

在与斗争哲学的比较中把握和谐思维的本质和特征

为了深刻认识坚持和谐思维的重要意义,需要在与斗争哲学的比较中把握其本质和特征。和谐思维是对斗争哲学的扬弃,是对唯物辩证法的创新、丰富和发展,是辩证思维在当代发展的最新形式。承认世界在本质上是和谐的,和谐发展是自然界、社会和人类思维发展的普遍规律,是和谐思维的世界观基础;全面谋求我国全体人民的各种利益和人类的利益,是和谐思维的价值观基础;努力创造构建和谐社会、和谐世界的有效方式和途径,是和谐思维的方法论诉求。今天,必须大力提倡和坚持和谐思维,摒弃斗争哲学。

基于复杂背景的图像分割算法

针对圆柱形钢棒在线计数特定的复杂背景提出了基于双阈值结合数学形态学运算的分割算法。首先分别根据2个阈值进行分割得到2幅二值图像,然后根据目标是圆形以及其大致位置等先验知识分别对2幅图进行腐蚀,开启,闭合等数学形态学运算,最后将高阈值分割得到的图像中的边界信息叠加到低阈值分割得到的图像中。实验结果表明,本方法作为本系统的图像预处理是有效的。     

儒家法文化的现代法治价值

作为封建正统法律思想的儒家法文化对维护社会统治起了重要作用,在近代却遭到一系列的冲击。反思目前法治建设中出现的一系列问题,可以发现儒家法文化并非一无是处,对其不应该盲目地全盘否定,而应该批判地继承。
