| We propose a new microeconomic explanation for the divergent experiences of economies in forming human capital. We suggest that the positive effect of a longer life expectancy on human capital formation arises from two separate effects: a life expectancy effect and a prolonged intergenerational overlap effect. We argue that the duration of the overlap between generations and the associated parental support can affect the marginal cost of human capital formation and hence its level: parental support is cheaper than market financing. We thus attribute the strong correlation between the formation of human capital and life expectancy not merely to a higher marginal benefit arising from a longer payback period but also to a lower marginal cost arising from a... |

| This paper considers a setting in which the acquisition of human capital entails a change of location in social space that causes individuals to revise their comparison groups. Skill levels are viewed as occupational groups, and moving up the skill ladder by acquiring additional human capital, which in itself is rewarding, leads to a shift in the individual’s inclination to compare himself with a different, and on average better-paid, comparison group, which in itself is penalizing. The paper sheds new light on the dynamics of human capital formation, and suggests novel policy interventions to encourage human capital formation in the aggregate and, at the same time, reduce inter-group income inequality. |

| On the basis of AHP method, this paper establishes comprehensive evaluation model of demonstration farmers' specialized cooperatives, uses the Delphi method and AHP software to assign scientific and objective weight to 7 criteria in criteria layer and 27 indices in index layer, and evaluate the overall level of 153 farmers' specialized cooperatives whose main business is fruits and vegetables in Region R. The results show that the overall operation level of farmers' specialized cooperatives is common; democratic and financial management is open; the information-based level and social sensation are not insufficient; the marking results of questionnaire is basically scientific and objective. This paper discusses the new way to evaluate operation level of... |

| The authors select six indices of resource endowment, supply scale and structure of agricultural products in assessment area of China, and then use Factor Analysis Method and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology to classify the supply capacity of agricultural products in 140 counties and cities of Shandong Province. The authors also made a comprehensive quantitative and locational evaluation. Based on this, the authors put forward some suggestions on how to improve the supply capacity of agricultural products in Shandong Province of China. |
