County-level CO2 emissions and sequestration in China during 1997–2017

Abstract: With the implementation of China's top-down CO2 emissions reduction strategy, the regional differences should be considered. As the most basic governmental unit in China, counties could better capture the regional heterogeneity than provinces and prefecture-level city, and county-level CO2 emissions could be used for the development of strategic policies tailored to local conditions. However, most of the previous accounts of CO2 emissions in China have only focused on the national, provincial, or city levels, owing to limited methods and smaller-scale data. In this study, a particle swarm optimization-back propagation (PSO-BP) algorithm was employed to unify the scale of DMSP/OLS and NPP/VIIRS satellite imagery and estimate the CO2 emissions in 2,735 Chinese counties during 1997-2017. Moreover, as vegetation has a significant ability to sequester and reduce CO2 emissions, we calculated the county-level carbon sequestration value of terrestrial vegetation. The results presented here can contribute to existing data gaps and enable the development of strategies to reduce CO2 emissions in China.

The Internationalization of Chinese Firms: A Critical Review and Future Research*

Abstract: The important phenomenon that the internationalization of Chinese firms (ICF) represents has attracted increasing interest from scholars from multiple fields over the past 20 years (1991‐2010).Although this proliferation of research has the potential to significantly improve understanding of Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs), the necessary step of consolidating and integrating extant knowledge is absent.This paper reviews the scholarship on the ICF and offers insights into the specific areas in critical need of further development. By focusing on articles published in major scholarly journals during the period 1991‐2010, the authors develop a coherent framework to organizeandreviewconceptualandempiricalfindingsfromdisciplinesasfarrangingas management,internationalbusiness,cross-cultureandareastudies.Withinthereviewed literature, three primary streams of enquiry are identified which focus on the antecedents,processes and outcomes of the ICF.Achievements within each of the three research streams are carefully reviewed using content analysis, whereby a number of important issuesareidentifiedwhichhaveremainedconsistentlyuntouched,andrecommendations areprovidedforfutureresearch,aimedatdevelopingamoreintegratedresearchagenda on the ICF for management and international business scholars.
