This paper examines the effect of rural students' understanding of education investment on their willingness to study from the perspective of financial literacy. We set up a two-period model of human capital investment to show how schmeduling induces students with poor financial literacy to deviate their study effort from the optimal level. We employ the "ironing heuristic" approach to model students' cognitive bias and misperception of education investment. Using a survey data collected in four rural junior middle schools in Southwest China, we then provide empirical evidences on it. We measure students' willingness to remain in education in three aspects, namely their self-assessed opportunity costs of schooling, preference for saving for future education, and recognition of economic return to education. Our empirical study reveals a close correlation between rural students' understanding of the philosophy of investment and their willingness to study. Specifically, knowledge of personal financing is significantly positively correlated with students' self-assessed opportunity costs of attending school as well as their recognition of returns to education. Our findings suggest that improving students' financial literacy, particularly with respect to the knowledge of money management, will foster their understanding of human capital investment, reinforce their incentive to invest time and efforts in study, and enhance their competency to make rational decisions of education.

We can achieve economic development and shared prosperity only with the full economic participation of men and women in the globalised and liberalised India. In recent years, support programmes for women entrepreneurs have gained traction and prominence as a mean to empower them, create jobs and boost productivity at the national and regional levels. In developing economies, the role of women is most significant as workers and job creators. In India, female entrepreneur's activity is concentrated in the informal sector with limited potential for growth in income and employment. In the Indian situation, female entrepreneurs are unable to grow their business from micro or small to medium or large productive enterprises with transformed economic impact. The World Bank estimation on the working-age population (15 to 59) is set to increase by more than 200 million in India in the next two decades, while it is expected to decline in most developing economies of the world including China. The era of globalisation has enhanced the role of women entrepreneurs. However, India may fail to obtain benefits without the participation of women, who form a significant mass of society. Active participation of women in economic activity and decision making is very much needed to increase GDP growth. Skill, knowledge-based education enables to change the role of women from homemaker to job maker. When a woman gets an education, a whole generation is educated. Education enhances knowledge which enables access to resources and opportunities. This paper focuses on the role of education in patterning and promoting women entrepreneurship and to examine problems, issues, challenges faced by women entrepreneurs.

In 2017 China released its building list of First-class Universities and First-class Subjects (Double First-classes), which should get great support to develop for many years into the future. This paper examines the academic performance of 8 universities that are currently listed as having First-class Subjects of economics, in international papers, domestic papers, and national projects, and compares their academic performance with another 8 non-listed universities. The comparison results show that in international papers, only 3 listed universities have obvious advantages among the sample universities, while the other 5 listed universities do not show obvious advantages, and one of those is even unexpectedly lagging behind. In contrast, several non-listed universities perform obviously better among the sample universities. In addition, several other aspects of this Double First-class list are also found to be less objective, scientific or rigorous. "Review of 'Finding the Answers to Legal Questions, Second Edition'"

Law librarians know all too well how challenging it can be to work with public patrons who have legal questions. It comes as no surprise that these questions would be even more challenging for public librarians, most of whom lack legal expertise and legal research experience. Virginia M. Tucker and Marc Lampson's Finding the Answers to Legal Questions, Second Edition is a well-written and useful book aimed at public librarians who want to increase their understanding of legal resources and research techniques, as well as build a collection to help their patrons access the most frequently needed information. | ^top
