In addition, the research finds that average Malmquist productivity of these cities has been improved from 2004 to 2013, mainly contributed by technological progress. Productivity growth speed in the eastern and northern cities of Guangdong Province is faster than the Pearl River Delta cities, it shows that the regional development gap in Guangdong province is gradually narrowing. Productivity growth in Pearl River Delta cities comes mainly from the technical progress, however the productivity growth in the eastern, Western and northern cities of Guangdong Province comes mainly from technical efficiency improvement. These conclusions provide a policy path direction for the innovation driven strategy implementation of the new urbanization construction in Guangdong Province.

Explanations of the Root Causes of the Economic Crisis Theory by Marx

(by GUO Xing-fang)

Abstract：Discussion of the economic crisis must base on understanding of the essence of Marx's economic crisis theory. We must grasp the realistic movement of capitalist production as a whole and find the inner links among the various contradictions in the reality of capitalist production movement. There are four root causes of the economic crisis，namely, profit margins decreased, imbalance of reproduction, the difficulty to achieve profits caused by poor people and limited consumption，and the virtual economy seriously out of step with the real economy led by the excessive speculation and expansion of virtual capital. The crisis is the result of the interaction of these factors. It will directly lead to the failure of policies by misjudgment of the causes of the economic crisis. If the deep-seated capitalist contradictions cannot be solved and the antagonistic contradictions between the ruled and the ruling class, and between the labor and capital, is ignored, all policies based on any single factor above to dealing with crisis would be ridiculous, childish, and invalid.

Key words: economic crisis; decline in profit margins; reproduction ratio imbalance; consumption shortage; fictitious economy

New Theory of Units of Translation and Its linguistic Forms: From the Perspective of Gestalt

(by LI Ming-xi)

Abstract：There are many different ideas on what is unit of translation in translation circle, which have their own shortcomings and advantages. According to the theory of gestalt psychology, this paper holds the idea that the whole concept can be unit of translation.

Words, phrases, sentences, sentence groups, paragraphs and texts, all of them can express a whole concept and can be unit of translation. These different language units can be chosen and used as unit of translation in different situations, which develops the previous ideas.
