The mismeasure of woman

Men and women think differently. But not that differently

IN THE 1970s there was a fad for giving dolls to baby boys and fire-engines to baby girls. The idea was that differences in behaviour between the sexes were solely the result of upbringing: culture turned women into ironers, knitters and chatterboxes, and men into hammerers, drillers and silent types. Switching toys would put an end to sexual sorting. Today, it is clear why it did not. When boys an

London Fashion Week

WITH its whirl of frocks, models and million-dollar deals London Fashion Week has always been rather a closeted affair, accessible to few. Amateur fashionistas have had to wait for glossy magazines and blogs to tell them what to wear next. But at the second of London's biannual fairs, which ran from September 13th to 17th, that was starting to change. Around half the shows were live-streamed to the internet and TV channels with bulletins broadcast to commuters waiting at underground Tube st

《经济学人》的中国专栏

作者：郭之恩

来源：《对外传播》2012年第11期

与之前强调意识形态、丑化甚至不惜污蔑中国发展的基本立场不同，当下的外媒涉华经济报道更多地转为持有一种“围观中国”的“开放的心态”，承认中国、肯定中国的经济地位是当下海外主流媒体的基本立场之一。其中英国《经济学人》的表现具有一定的代表性。 创办中国专栏

国际著名的政治和经济期刊《经济学人》一贯持保守主义的立场，很多年来对中国都不太友好，甚至说是有“明显的敌意”。

2012年1月起，该刊增设“中国专栏”，这是《经济学人》创刊169年来开辟的第三个国家专栏。第一个国家专栏是“英国专栏”，为当时的世界经济中心——英国开设专栏顺理成章。1942年，该刊增设“美国专栏”，应该说是符合了二战期间以及二战结束后世界经济掌握在美国手中这一趋势。2012年《经济学人》创办“中国专栏”是否意味着中国将成为未来世界经济的中心呢？《经济学人》总编辑约翰·麦克列威特专程来到中国，在清华大学的演讲中道出了原委：“中国崛起对亚洲以及全世界都有着深远的影响，值得用更多的篇幅来报道

1、绝对优势(Absolute advantage)

如果一个国家用一单位资源生产的某种产品比另一个国家多，那么，这个国家在这种产品的生产上与另一国相比就具有绝对优势。 2、逆向选择(Adverse choice)

在此状况下，保险公司发现它们的客户中有太大的一部分来自高风险群体。 3、选择成本(Alternative cost)

如果以最好的另一种方式使用的某种资源，它所能生产的价值就是选择成本，也可以称之为机会成本。

4、需求的弧弹性( Arc elasticity of demand)

如果P1和Q1分别是价格和需求量的初始值，P2 和Q2 为第二组值，那么，弧弹性就等于

-(Q1-Q2)(P1+P2)/(P1-P2)(Q1+Q2) 5、非对称的信息(Asymmetric information)

在某些市场中，每个参与者拥有的信息并不相同。例如，在旧车市场上，有关旧车质量的信息，卖者通常要比潜在的买者知道得多。 6、平均成本(Average cost)

平均成本是总成本除以产量。也称为平均总成本。 7、平均固定成本( Average fixed cost) 平均固定成本是总固定成

Hong Kong is making its financial markets less transparent 香港金融市场正在失去透明性

Mar 2nd 2013 | SHANGHAI |From the print edition

“HONG KONG residents shall have freedom of speech, of the press and of publication.” So begins Article 27 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law. Those rights, ever delicate, are under attack. Just as troubling, so too is Hong Kong’s reputation as Asia’s most transparent financial market.

香港基本法第27条以此开头：“香港居民享有言论、新闻和出版的自由。”这些公民权利曾经在法律中得到了准确精微的界定，如今却受到打压。香港一度享有全亚洲最透明金融市场的美誉，如今这种说法也面临挑战。

Will Burger King be gobbled up by private equity? 汉堡王是否会被私人股本吞并？

Sep 2nd 2010 | NEW YORK

SHARES in Burger King (BK) soared on September 1st on reports that the fast-food company was talking to several private-equity firms interested in buying it. How much beef was behind these stories was unclear. But lately the company famous for the slogan “Have It Your Way” has certainly not been having it its own way. There may be arguments about whether BK or McDonald’s serves the best fries, but there is no

Mandarin lessons 政府官员的经验之谈

Governments need to rethink how they reward and motivate civil servants 政府需要重新思考如何去奖励和提升公务员的工作动力。

THE French call them hauts fonctionnaires, the Germans Beamte im h?heren Dienst and the British, somewhat more economically, know them as “mandarins”. The senior echelons of civil services are a powerful arm of the state. They implement the reforms dreamed up by politicians, and design public services rangi
