TL;DR: In this paper, the authors incorporate macroeconomic uncertainty and high-level innovation into the framework of urban green development performance analysis, and find that the positive impact of macroeconomic uncertainties on high level innovation is related to the economic level and geographical location of cities.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper employed the difference-in-differences (DID) methodology to conduct a quasi-natural experiment based on the Pollution Information Transparency Index (PITI) to evaluate the public participation impact on pollution emissions reduction and environment technology efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of agricultural inputs such as chemical fertilizers on urban-rural income disparity were investigated based on a data set of 30 provincial-level regions in China over 1997-2015.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of technological factors, including indigenous research and development (R&D) investments, technology spillovers coming from foreign direct investments, export, and import, on China's total factor productivity (TFP).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper explored the impacts of marketization on energy rebound effect and found that about 20% of originally expected energy conservation from energy efficiency improvement would be rebounded in 2013.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used Direction Distance Function (DDF) to estimate the overall carbon emission efficiency in China, and empirically estimated the spatial Moran'I and LISA cluster in China from 2005 to 2016.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper exploited the staggered introduction of the Tax Sharing System (TSS) across regions and over time for econometric identification purposes and found robust causal evidence that the TSS had a positive impact on economic outcomes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct an econometric analysis of the determinants of the formation of Taobao villages, the rural e-commerce clusters recently appeared in China.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that economic policy uncertainty is positively related to corporate tax burden and the effect is stronger when the tax quotas are higher, and they find that economic uncertainty strengthens tax collection by increasing government fiscal pressure, thereby increasing corporate tax burdens.

TL;DR: This article used a multi-country and multi-product partial equilibrium model to forecast food supply and demand in China and its impact on food trade in 2050, which endogenises shifting consumption preferences due to China's demographic changes and real incomes growth caused by ongoing urbanisation and industrialisation.

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors examined the relationship between political turnover and pollution discharges by listed firms in China and found that political turnover is associated with more pollution discharging, particularly if newly appointed officials are promoted locally or normally transferred.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper extended the literature on household finance by examining the effects of both financial literacy and housing value on household financial market participation, the role of which has been examined separately in the existing literature.

TL;DR: The authors developed a model of labor migration, focusing on the role of selection effects in determining labor market outcomes, and calibrated the model to quantify the effects of China's labor market reforms on labor market outcome, outputs, and income.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper provided the first causal estimate of the aggregate effect of the 2013-2017 Clean Air Action, one of the largest and most recent environmental programs in China, on the growth of the manufacturing industry.

TL;DR: In this article, the additively complete Luenberger-Hicks-Moorsteen (LHM) TFP indicator is proposed to measure both input and output changes when measuring productivity and then additively decompose it into measures of technological progress, technical efficiency change and scale efficiency change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a multi-country input-output model to simulate the impacts of the recent China-U.S. trade war and found that both China and the U.S suffer from the conflict, although the impacts on China are greater.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between risk preferences, production contract participation, and technology investment levels and adoption time was analyzed using farm-level data from 345 Chinese broiler growers, and used an instrumental variables strategy and endogenous switching models to address the potential endogeneity of the contracting decision.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed some new methods and used data from the 2013 Chinese Household Income Project (CHIP2013) to examine the targeting performance of the rural minimum living standard guarantee program (Dibao) and made some recommendations to reform Dibao that will significantly improve targeting and reduce the cost of running the program.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study whether monetary transmission in China is asymmetric and find evidence of a systematic and sizeable asymmetry in the transmission of monetary policy shocks in China, which is consistent with the notion of explicit or implicit government guarantees of SOEs and has consequences for the adjustment of aggregate variables.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quality index based on internationally comparable citation data from international search reports (ISR) was extended to consider foreign, domestic, and self citations. And they showed that all three citation types may be used as economic indicators if policy distortion is not a concern.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used value-added tax (VAT) reform in 2007, which was aimed to encourage fixed investment purchasing, as a natural experiment to explore the effect on firm financial leverage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a move in the direction of formal empirical analysis by estimating and simulating a vector autoregressive (VAR) model which distinguishes between demand, supply and foreign shocks as possible drivers of changes in economic growth.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper reconcile the mixed effects of political connections on corporate innovation using the China Employer-Employee Survey (CEES) using the entrepreneur's innovative spirit into account.

TL;DR: Li et al. as mentioned in this paper used the panel data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in three waves (2010, 2012 and 2014) to investigate the impact of inequality of opportunity on household education investment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of parental schooling on their children's schooling in rural China using the data collected by the authors themselves, and they found that the intergenerational transmission of education is not as high as those have been reported in the literature for several other countries.

TL;DR: The impact of the critical illness insurance (CII) on rural household consumption is studied, and it is found that the CII increases per capita household daily consumption by >15%.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the impacts of parental migration on the educational outcomes (specifically math achievement) and mental health of left-behind children (LBCs) using data covering 7495 children in a prefecture of Shaanxi Province (from three surveys conducted between 2012 and 2014).

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of public expenditure on local officials' promotion was examined and the hysteresis effect of local official promotion was also examined in 284 Chinese cities for the period of 1990-2016.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find that credit constraints significantly decrease the possibility of households becoming entrepreneurs, and that a 10% decrease in the probability of being credit constrained would be associated with 4.3 million newly-created household businesses, or equivalently 11 million jobs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the relationship between tax rate (direct tax on labor income), government revenue and economic performance in a perspective of the Laffer curve by applying Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model.
