Lexinlexikonen och översättaren
No full textOne of the new features of Lexin is the concept of a common data-base used to serve several dictionaries. Admittedly, this has been done before, but never without a cer-tain amount of adaptation to each language. The use of a common data-base saves time and money. It stands to reason that this procedure inevitably has drawbacks as well. The author argues that the translators should have a more active role in sug-gesting improvements.Another problem in Lexin is the presentation of compound words. The last ele-ments in words are listed in places where they are hard to find, which means that they are effectively "lost" for the user. Cross classification is suggested as an improvement.A third problem concerns the inclusion of new information in new editions of the Lexin dictionaries. The author points out the need for an editor who is responsible for the adaption of new data (from different sources) to the original framework of the basic Swedish dictionary and who is also responsible for the proofreading

What affects the Russian regional governments'propensity to subsidize?
No full textSubsidies funded by Russia's regional governments represented about 5.2 percent of GDP in 1995, almost triple the 2 percent of GDP in subsidies funded by the federal government. Regional policies vary greatly, influenced more by local factors than by the federal government. To find out what affects the regional governments'propensity to subsidize, the authors examined available data for 1992-95, asking: How great is the variation across regions in the incidence of subsidies, and what are recent trends in such variation? What are the relative influences of supply and demand factors in shaping the current levels of subsidy? How do federal budget transfers affect regionally funded subsidies to local enterprises? To what extent are federal transfers distortionary, encouraging subsidies and postphoning the liberalization of local markets? Their findings: 1) Regional wealth and federal budget transfers to regional governments are two of the most important determinants of regional propensity to subsidize. 2) Even when regional budgetary wealth is controlled for, depressed regions (those affected most by industrial decline and unemployment) tend to spend less on subsidies than regions with more favorable economies. 3) Federal budget transfers are quite distortionary, that is, they encourage regional governments to continue subsidy policies and postpone structural reforms. In fact, federal transfers tend to be concerned in regions with the most distortionary policies. 4) Housing receives the lion's share of total regional subsidies, and there are greater disparities in housing subsidies than in agricultural subsidies. 5) Housing and transportation subsidies are strongly counter-equalizing: Households in wealthier regions receive more in housing subsidies and rural populations have less access to those subsidies, so up to 30 percent of regional subsidies are questionable in terms of equity. 6) Federal transfers have less effect on regional subsidies in agriculture, which are influenced more by the region's own tax base and its share of rural population or by such factors as the political influence of local interest groups. 7) To accelerate structural reforms, the federal government might consider reducing the number of recipients of federal budget transfers and changing the rules of allocation of the transfers, in particular by introducing conditional transfers linked to increases in cost recovery.Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Financial Management,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research
Testing for the Markov property in time series via deep conditional generative learning
No full textThe Markov property is widely imposed in analysis of time series data. Correspondingly, testing the Markov property, and relatedly, inferring the order of a Markov model, are of paramount importance. In this article, we propose a nonparametric test for the Markov property in high-dimensional time series via deep conditional generative learning. We also apply the test sequentially to determine the order of the Markov model. We show that the test controls the type-I error asymptotically, and has the power approaching one. Our proposal makes novel contributions in several ways. We utilise and extend state-of-the-art deep generative learning to estimate the conditional density functions, and establish a sharp upper bound on the approximation error of the estimators. We derive a doubly robust test statistic, which employs a nonparametric estimation but achieves a parametric convergence rate. We further adopt sample splitting and cross-fitting to minimise the conditions required to ensure the consistency of the test. We demonstrate the efficacy of the test through both simulations and the three data applications
International Communication of the Belt and Road Initiative and Possible Improvements: From Discourse Analysis Perspective
No full textThis study is grounded in the fundamental concepts of discourse analysis and draws on the theoretical and methodological frameworks outlined in An Introduction to Discourse Analysis: Theory and Method, which explores how language reflects social activities and viewpoints. By collecting and analyzing news reports related to the Belt and Road Initiative, this research examines the attitudes and discursive patterns present in Anglo-American (including America, Britain, Australia, Canada) mainstream media. The analysis reveals how these media outlets construct and convey specific narratives about the initiative, reflecting broader geopolitical and economic concerns. The study also investigates the reasons behind the formation of these attitudes from a discourse analysis perspective. Based on these findings, the paper offers insights and recommendations for improving the initiative’s communication style to better address international concerns and enhance global perceptions
Shifting responsibility for social services as enterprises privatize in Belarus
No full textIn Belarus, divestiture of social assets, a misnomer for fringe benefits that comprise a part of wages, is needed to transform enterprises so they can function appropriately in a market economy. Maintaining supply of these services after enterprise divestiture is an important public policy problem in transition economies. These fringe benefits, issued mainly in the form of housing and kindergarten services, were cut by at least two-thirds as a proportion of employee remuneration between 1994 and 1995 because of the economic downturn. This report debates whether most of these fringe benefits should continue to be subsidized or receive preferential tax treatment. A strong case is made for some government funding of the public health and kindergarten services, and public utility and housing services divested by enterprises. The reasons for assigning services such as education and health to local governments is debated and financing arrangements such as revenue sharing are examined. Among the problems cited with the latter are interregional imbalances caused by unequal resources distribution, tax breaks given to agriculture which has reduced payments to rural local governments, the absence of close links between beneficiaries and payers justifying extrabudgetary funding, and inadequate subnational government taxation raising insignificant amounts of revenue. Where transfers to local governments are required, formula financing is suggested for unconditional grants to low-income local governments and conditional grants to support specific objectives.Municipal Financial Management,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform
Sliced Inverse Regression in Metric Spaces
No full textIn this article, we propose a general nonlinear sufficient dimension reduc-tion (SDR) framework when both the predictor and the response lie in some general metric spaces. We construct reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces with kernels that are fully determined by the distance functions of the metric spaces, and then leverage the inherent structures of these spaces to define a nonlinear SDR framework. We adapt the classical sliced inverse regression within this framework for the metric space data. Next we build an estimator based on the corresponding linear opera-tors, and show that it recovers the regression information in an unbiased manner. We derive the estimator at both the operator level and under a coordinate system, and establish its convergence rate. Lastly, we illustrate the proposed method using synthetic and real data sets that exhibit non-Euclidean geometry

Evaluating the Effect of Redundant Resources on Corporate Entrepreneurial Performance
No full textRedundant resources are indispensable resources in corporate entrepreneurship. Nowadays, establishing how to evaluate the impact of redundant resources on corporate entrepreneurial performance has become a critical issue considered by managers. However, few studies have addressed this issue. Based on the perspective of resource bricolage and corporate resource interaction, this work constructs a theoretical model to analyze the influence of redundant resources on corporate entrepreneurial performance. Data were collected in Chinese enterprises. A structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used. We obtained four valuable conclusions. First, redundant resources have a significant positive effect on corporate entrepreneurial performance. Second, redundant resources exert a significant positive influence on resource bricolage. Third, resource bricolage has a significant positive influence on corporate entrepreneurial performance. Fourth, resource bricolage plays a partial mediation effect between redundant resources and corporate entrepreneurial performance. The insights can provide theoretical and practical guidance for enterprises that intend to use redundant resources to carry out entrepreneurial activities
