This paper examines whether and how the introduction of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms affects opioid-related mortality, one of the most severe public health crises in the United States with over 150 daily overdose deaths. The theoretical relationship is ambiguous: while improved credit access may alleviate economic stress and reduce opioid intake motivated by financial distress, it could potentially enable opioid prescribing by providing additional financial resources. Exploiting the staggered introduction of Lending Club across U.S. states as a quasi-natural experiment, we find that P2P lending entry leads to a reduction of 17 opioid-related deaths per million population. The effect operates through improved psychological well-being, as evidenced by reduced work intensity, decreased mental health-related mortality, and lower suicide rates. Cross-sectional analyses reveal stronger effects in areas with limited banking presence, higher household leverage, and lower sunlight exposure, consistent with P2P lending being particularly beneficial where financial constraints and psychological vulnerability are more severe.

This study investigates the impact of Uber, a gig economy platform, on mental health. Utilizing a difference-in-differences approach, we analyze county-level data to assess the effects of Uber's entry on psychotropic drug-related mortality rates. Our findings reveal a significant decrease in mortality rates post-Uber entry, suggesting a positive influence on mental health. The impact is more pronounced in areas with lower financial inclusivity, higher unemployment, greater household debt and higher proportion of ethnic minorities, indicating that Uber's flexible income opportunities may alleviate financial stress, provide employment opportunities and improve psychological well-being. This research provides new insights into the role of the sharing economy in public health and mental health policy-making.

第80期新文化沙龙: 《明星影片公司与中国早期电影的地方感生产》

本次讲座将围绕AM旗下11个试用数据库，重点介绍其在全球史、区域国别研究、国际关系史与跨文化交流研究中的独特价值。所涵盖的档案资源横跨外交往来、社会文化、移民迁徙、帝国扩张、经济贸易与族群关系等多个领域，尤其聚焦中国与世界互动的历史图景，并将系统呈现以下数据库的收录和利用情况。

在频繁的多元化国际交往当中，人们迫切需要一种国际语，来解决民族间的平等交流问题，因此就有了世界共同语或者国际语概念，这个概念引起了很多哲学家、语言学家关注。他们的共识是，采用任何一种民族语充当国际语，都是对其他民族的不公，因此国际语必须是中立的，而这种中立的语言是任何民族语都不能胜任的。于是，就有人试图创造中立的国际语。三个世纪以来先后出现了近千种国际语方案，目前被国际社会认可，使用最广泛的国际语，就是1887年波兰眼科医生柴门霍夫所创造的世界语（Esperanto）。世界语是如何传入中国的？世界语在中国的传播情况如何？世界语对中国社会产生了什么样影响？就是本次讲座所要探讨的问题。

课程主要围绕学思践悟习近平外交思想、《习近平外交思想学习纲要（2025年版）》编写情况等进行阐述。

Vibe Coding 氛围编程，能让你通过“说想法—>看结果—>继续调整—>再出结果”的循环，就开发出自己想要的软件；你不需要关心代码具体怎么实现，实现逻辑、底层细节这些繁琐的活，都交给 AI 去搞定，只需要盯着代码生成的结果对不对。这样的编程方式想想就很让人开心吧。来听讲座，让我们一起感受氛围编程带来的愉快氛围吧。
