TL;DR: As China deepens its health-care reform, it has the opportunity to build an integrated, cooperative primary health- care system, generating knowledge from practice that can support improvements, and bolstered by evidence-based performance indicators and incentives.

TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility and desirability of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are explored and compared with traditional models of private provision of public goods, showing that firms that use CSR will produce public goods at exactly the same level as predicted by the standard voluntary contribution equilibrium for public goods.

TL;DR: A new international blueprint for disaster risk reduction (DRR) has been adopted in Sendai, Japan, at the end of the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR, March 14-18, 2015).
Abstract: In March 2015, a new international blueprint for disaster risk reduction (DRR) has been adopted in Sendai, Japan, at the end of the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (WCDRR, March 14-18, 2015). We review and discuss the agreed commitments and targets, as well as the negotiation leading the Sendai Framework for DRR (SFDRR) and discuss briefly its implication for the later UN-led negotiations on sustainable development goals and climate change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of demographic factors on a pollutant other than carbon dioxide at the cross-national level and found that a higher urbanization rate and lower average household size increase emissions.
Abstract: This study adds to the emerging literature examining empirically the link between population size, other demographic factors and pollution. We contribute by using more reliable estimation techniques and examine two air pollutants. By considering sulfur dioxide, we become the first study to explicitly examine the impact of demographic factors on a pollutant other than carbon dioxide at the cross-national level. We also take into account the urbanization rate and the average household size neglected by many prior cross-national econometric studies. For carbon dioxide emissions we find evidence that population increases are matched by proportional increases in emissions while a higher urbanization rate and lower average household size increase emissions. For sulfur dioxide emissions, we find a U-shaped relationship, with the population-emissions elasticity rising at higher population levels. Urbanization and average household size are not found to be significant determinants of sulfur dioxide emissions. For both pollutants, our results suggest that an increasing share of global emissions will be accounted for by developing countries. Implications for the environmental Kuznets curve literature are described and directions for further work identified.
