From the question of whether Stiegler is an accelerationist， it is clear that Stiegler's phenomenology of technology criticizes modern technology in that Stiegler does believe that modern technology， which is increasingly accelerating， will push society forward， but it doesn't mean Stiegler is an accelerationist. On the contrary， Stiegler argues that the quest for a constant acceleration of modern technology is precisely what is wrong with modern technology， and that the crux of the matter is based on the paradoxical reality that “time is accelerating” and “technology is accelerating” and people should no longer be indulged in the walls of technological determinism. In this sense， Stiegler believes in and points to a path of dis-automatization， which suggests that the problem with accelerationism is that it leaves no room for the possibility of accelerating technology.

Self-knowledge of mental states is often thought to be achieved directly. However， in the view of inferentialists， the way to achieve self-knowledge is normally indirect， namely， through inference based on evidence， and the evidence for self-ascriptions involves certain experiential episodes called “internal promptings”. The inferential account faces the criticisms from directness theories， while in fact they fail to cause serious damage to it. When dealing with the self-knowledge which is not obtained through explicit inferences， the inferential account presupposes “unconscious inference” without further clarification， jeopardizing its applicability to self-knowledge through non-explicit inferences and thus their generality. Since “unconscious inference” is different from explicit inference in the form of inference， the generality of inferential account depends on a pluralist understanding of “inference”.

CEO reputation can convey a good signal to the outside world， and the reputation mechanism can also play a promoting effect on corporate social responsibility in practice. It is found that CEOs with high reputation will promote enterprises to actively fulfill social responsibility. This conclusion still holds after robustness test and endogeneity treatment. Dual agency costs play a significant mediating role in the relationship between CEO reputation and corporate social responsibility. Reputation can motivate agents to reduce opportunistic behaviors and reduce the first type of agency costs so as to strengthen their attention to social responsibility. At the same time， reputation can reduce the collusion between agents and controlling shareholders， reduce the second type of agency costs， and make CEOs pay more attention to the needs of all stakeholders; as external pressure factors， the degree of analysts' concerns and the degree of market competition can strengthen the positive effect of CEO reputation on corporate social responsibility and realize the synergistic effect of internal and external governance factors.

The market value of patents is an important reflection of enterprises' innovation output. Based on the goal differences of different government subsidies， the number of patent citations is used to measure the innovation output of listed enterprises， and the impact of government R&D subsidies and non-R&D subsidies on enterprises' innovation output is analyzed. The results show that government R&D subsidies and non-R&D subsidies have asymmetric effects on enterprises' innovation output. The impact of government R&D subsidies on enterprises' innovation output presents a significant inverted U-shaped effect. The impact of enterprises' innovation output presents a significant linear inhibitory effect. The quantile regression method and the method of replacing variables， samples and instrumental variables are used to test the robustness， and the results are consistent with the benchmark regression results. Considering the differences in the regions and listed sectors among enterprises， the heterogeneity analysis still supports the conclusions obtained by the benchmark regression.

From the perspective of consumer perception， the evaluation indicators and influencing factors of the supervision effect of online catering services were explored. Through the analysis of 1313 valid questionnaire data， four regulatory effect evaluation indicators—compliance， transparency， effectiveness and reputation evaluation， and two influencing factors—government supervision， platform and social supervision， were obtained. The hypothesis of influencing factors on the evaluation indicators of supervision effect was put forward. The regression result shows that government regulation， platform and social supervision have significant positive impact on compliance， transparency， effectiveness and reputation evaluation. To improve the supervision effect， supervision countermeasures were proposed including improving the transparency of supervision processes and results，strengthening smart supervision and reinforcing punishment efforts， giving platforms greater supervision authority， and increasing the supervision body of online catering services.

Using the data of HS6 product level of China's import from CEPII-BACI database during the period from 1996 to 2019， the exact price index and the elasticity-substitution hybrid estimators are used to calculate the welfare gains from import variety under taste shocks in China. The results show that the welfare gains from import variety will be underestimated without consideration for taste shocks. The upward bias in the conventional import price index is 32.755% and the gains are equivalent to 5.229% of GDP under taste shocks with the hybrid estimators from 1996 to 2019. However， the welfare gains from import variety are underestimated by 2.623% of GDP with the standard estimation method. Moreover， the welfare decomposition suggests that both the HS6 product level and ISIC2 industry level show a concentrated trend， while the BEC decomposition shows that China's import still values production over consumption. The theory of estimating the welfare gains from import variety under taste shocks is improved， and important empirical evidence is provided for China to continue implementing the strategy of expanding imports and building a new development pattern.

Impact Mechanism and Conditions of the Public's Experience of Governmental Digital Governance on Their Perceived Better Life

ZHENG Jianjun， WU Runlian， QIN Wanzhu

2023, 25 (6): 57-68. DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2023.06.007

To examine the relationship between the public's experience of governmental digital governance and perceived better life， a moderated mediation model is constructed to test the mediating role of government trust and the moderating role of the reality-expectation gap. Questionnaire surveys are conducted in the municipalities， northeastern， eastern， central， and western regions of China and 2459 valid data is obtained. The result indicates that government trust plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between the public's experience of governmental digital governance and their perceived better life. The reality-expectation gap moderates the main effect of the public's experience of governmental digital governance on their perceived better life and the mediating effect of government trust. When the reality is better than the expectation， the relationship between the public's experience of governmental digital governance and perceived better life is stronger. When the reality is not as expected， government trust plays a more significant mediating role in the impact of the public's experience of governmental digital governance on the sense of gains and security. The findings of this study help to enhance our understanding of the relationship between the public's experience of governmental digital governance and perceived better life， and provide the theoretical guidance for improving governmental governance efficacy and improving the practice of the public's better life.

Task Attributes， Target Group Coordination and Grass-roots Government Policy Compliance: A Case Study of Environmental Protection Policy in Town A

WANG Luozhong， DONG Yanting

2023, 25 (6): 69-79. DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2023.06.008

As a policy executor， how the grass-roots government should comply with policies to achieve policy goals and maintain grass-roots stability is a hot issue in the field of public policy. Based on the two-dimensional analysis framework of the rigor of task attributes and the degree of target group cooperation， the differences in the types of grass-roots government policy compliance are discussed. Through the multi-case analysis of policy compliance in the field of environmental protection policy in Town A， it is found that the local grass-roots government has differentiated policy compliance behaviors， which are embodied as follows: substantive compliance with waste management policies， formal compliance with burning ban policies， and double-substitute subsidy policies， perfunctory compliance and delayed compliance with the natural gas access policy. In-depth research has found that task pressure is the main driving factor. The higher-level government forces the grass-roots government to respond quickly to the task objectives through administrative mobilization， supervision and assessment， and punishment and accountability; the selective feedback cooperation of target groups is an important catalytic factor. Protest-style interest expression and wait-and-see passive waiting affect the compliance behavior of grassroots governments; in addition， the tension between the resource constraints and autonomous space of grassroots governments is also adjusting their policy compliance behaviors.

The bondholders' meeting is formed by an interwoven tripartite contract， in which all creditors exercise their rights together according to the logic of the agreement. However， due to the weakness of the contract rules in the face of its organizational problems， it has many difficulties in interpreting the validity of the resolution of the bondholders' meeting， remedy of defects， and implied consequences， which need to be solved urgently. The specific solutions to the problem are as follows. The binding force of the resolution of the bondholders' meeting should be made clear by law to avoid complicated interpretation from the perspective of contract and agreement. The method and procedure of defect relief decided by the bondholders' meeting need to be detailed by law， and the default relief mode under the logic of agreement should be abandoned. The scope of the discussion of the bondholders' meeting should be legal， and the priority effect of the resolution of the bondholders' meeting should be made clear under this scope， so as to protect the practical significance of the bondholders' meeting system. In essence， the transition from contract to organization must be supported by the corresponding organizational rules. The bondholders' meeting is only one perspective to demonstrate this problem， and its mechanism can be applied to similar mechanisms by analogy.

At present， the construction of intelligent courts in China has been fruitful. How to realize the deep integration of administrative trial system and intelligent technology， and the effective coordination of human intelligence and artificial intelligence have become an important issue of the intelligentization of administrative litigation. Based on the needs of the people， the governance mode of smart society has expanded from post-dispute resolution to pre-conflict prevention， with the goal of achieving judicial justice in an efficient and timely manner. The intelligent construction of administrative litigation should fully respond to the governance needs of a society ruled by laws， and combine the three major contents of the reform of the administrative trial system， that is， give play to the social governance function of administrative trials， promote the diversion of complicated and simple cases and the uniform application of laws， and carry out the specific construction of the intelligentization of administrative litigation. Specifically， the steps of “building a platform and formulating rules” should be followed， two aspects should be constructed—the construction of an integrated intelligent platform and the intelligent response of litigation rules， and constant advancement from technological innovation to rule innovation should be made.

In the era of intelligent media， the scenario-based application of ideological and political education is the digital empowerment and intelligent upgrading of ideological and political education. In the scenario-based applications， scenario-based thinking， scenario-based narratives and scenario-based communication， with its “people-oriented”， “life-based narratives” and “immersive communication”， meet the needs of ideological and political education in the era of intelligent media. This clarifies the possibility and necessity of scenarios to empower ideological and political education. At the same time， the fragmented presentation of scenario narratives， the sensory impact of scenario dissemination， the proliferation of pan-entertainment scenarios， and the technological alienation of scenario construction also pose challenges to the development of ideological and political education. In this regard， the traction and dominance of mainstream values in scene-based applications should be adhered to， the two-way interaction between subject and object of education in scenario-based applications should be enhanced， and the precision of communication and the depth of learning in scenario-based applications with “human-machine collaboration” should be strengthened so as to promote the scientific development of scenario-based applications of ideological and political education.

Kazuo Ishiguro， in his novel The Remains of the Day， through the protagonist Stevens's false faith in butlership and dignity as well as his tragic life， suggests the significance of insight and sensibility in forming one's dignity. Stevens believes that being a great butler means unconditional submissiveness to his master and absolute emotional restraint， but he does not know this belief undermines the basis of dignity. With the reference of the transformation of the “dignity” concept in the history of Western ethics， Kazuo Ishiguro's reconciliation between the classic view of dignity and the modern view of dignity is explored by analyzing Stevens's professional superstition.

Pilgrims Way is the second novel by Abdulrazak Gurnah， winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature. It is also his first work to describe the living conditions and identity dilemma of African immigrants in the context of exile. The writer constructs the regional space with the spatial perception and physical roaming of Daud in a British town， combines Daud's resistance to racial discourse in his fantasy and his recollection of the violent history of local ethnic groups to form the spiritual space， and constructs the social space with the dialogues of different ethnic ideologies and discourse systems. It presents the marginalization of Daud， the confusion and anxiety of ambiguous identity and the difficult process of identity negotiation. According to the construction of three spatial forms of region， spirit and society， Gurnah uses “pilgrimage” as the core of the spatial metaphor to refer to the bankruptcy of the Empire pilgrimage of Daud， the satire of the missionary whitewash of colonial sins in East Africa and an active attempt to construct cultural identity by deconstructing the mask of imperial belief and ethnic discourse through rebellious pilgrimage.
