The consecutive growth in China's grain output over the past decade has partly depended on the expansion in grain sown area. The paper examines spatiotemporal patterns of China's grain sown area by using a complete decomposition approach. The results show that changing grain sown area during 1978–2012 is the product of augmenting multiple cropping index (MCI), shrinking share of grain crops and loss...
China proposed an ambitious goal of reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP by 20% over the period of its 11th 5-Year Plan from 2006 to 2010. This paper investigates the environmental and productivity enhancing performance of provincial governments implementing energy-saving targets assigned by the central government of China. Using Data Envelopment Analysis, we calculate an Environmental Performance...
The monitoring about the changes of land use and cover and NPP in mining area is one of hot spots in the field of resources and environment. Combining with ground field survey data, the remote sensing image in different periods in mining area and the geographic information technology are used to study the changes of Land Use and Cover and NPP. The results show that the degree of the change of land...
This paper explores the impact of environmental regulation on total factor productivity growth, from the perspective of a spatial econometric approach. The empirical findings are: (1) TFP growth increased slightly over the years for 1992–2008 in China, depending mainly on the technical change. (2) Spatial dependence and the productivity growth effect are statistically significant and positive. (3)...
The Phillips curve around the debate has never stopped, to the specific circumstances of the inflation behavior of the Phillips curve, it is important to explore the underlying causes of change curve of the reasons. This paper argues that productivity is the displacement of the Phillips curve interpretation of the core variables, productivity faster than the nominal amount of the adjustment will be...
By employing a spatial panel data set of provincial-level data for the years 1992–2008 periods in China, we seek to shed light on this topic by the linkage of the productivity of economic growth and environmental pollution and its impact of spatial dependence. For this purpose we calculate in a step the efficiency and productivity via DEA-Malmquist. In a second step we regress the derived values against...
This study examines the impact of service innovation on business performance in service firms in China. Based on RBV and innovation theories, we construct an integrative model which links service innovation, service quality and business performance together. 277 valid samples were gathered through survey questionnaire in China's tourism sector and structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was employed...
The purpose of the paper is to study the resources allocative efficiency and dynamic variation characteristics of farmland conversion for nonagricultural use in China from 2000 to 2008, and analyze regional differences in resources utilization efficiency, in order to provide references for optimizing land resources allocation. Methods of DEA model and Malmquist TFP index were employed. The results...
This paper focuses on the core issue that "whether FDI inflow will play a catalytic role in the host country's outward FDI". We select two big developing countries China and India, using an extended IDP model to have an empirical test. The result shows that, the original logic of IDP theory is established for both countries, that is, the level of economic development is an important factor...
This research is innovative in such aspects as research content, method and so on. Authors took Northeast China as study area, with the help from "3S" technology and based on spatial and temporal land resource data, agricultural statistics data and considering the natural and socio-economic factors. And, this paper analyzed the impact of cultivated land change on the grain production capacity...
The imbalanced urban-rural development and enlarging urban-rural income gap have become the main bottleneck of social and economic sustainable development in China. Firstly, this paper analyzed the actual situation and historical evolvement trend of income disparity between urban and rural residents in China. We concluded that since the reform and opening up, the urban-rural income disparity in China...
Due to the rapidly rising ratio of dependence on foreign trade, China's economic growth risk is increasing continuously. This paper analyzes the effect of widening gap of income distribution in china by establishing a simple and applicable theoretical model. The widening gap of income distribution results in shortage of domestic demand, speedy increasing of investment and the internal structural imbalance...
Evaluating the impacts of rural road investment projects is a key content in the rural roads post-evaluation. A good rural road investment project impact evaluation provides the basis for sound policy making. However, because of the lacks of impact evaluation activities and methodology, it has been difficult to know how opportunities provided by rural roads actually filter back into beneficiary outcomes...
Using the data of Fujian Province over the period 1978-2008, this paper employs cointegration and Granger causality testing approach to study the relationship between Technological progress and Local government expending on Science and Technology. The empirical estimates show that Local government expending on Science and Technology and total factor productivity (TFP) has the long-term stability and...
Based on the concept of Knowledge Structure(KS), Knowledge Management Structure(KMS) is proposed to include KS and KM. KMS corresponds with product structures in the different developing stage, forming the Fractal KMS; Organization innovation and the ability to develop new products is the company's core competence, which consists of KMS factors, for instances, evolution of KMS from Production Process...
Over the years, Chinese automobile industry has made lots of achievements and has become the largest auto producer and consumer markets in the world. In order to know the domestic survival environment and international competitiveness of China's auto industry, this article built an industrial safety index system of the automobile industry, which is composed of 4 first-grade indexes and 15 second-grade...
In this paper we apply a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for measuring changes in total carbon emission efficiency between 1986 and 2008 across Chinese regions and then estimate driving forces of regional carbon emission performance (MCPI). A long-run relationship has been detected and the coefficients, estimated using Kao's method, are statistically significant mostly. Our results indicate the positive...
This study computes the regional total factor energy efficiency (TFEE) in china for the period 1990-2007 by employing DEA-Malmquist. In our DEA-Malmquist model, labor, capital stock and energy consumption are the three inputs and real GDP is the single output. Our empirical results indicate the eastern areas total factor energy efficiency has been on the efficiency frontier surface, the mid-west area...
Most empirical studies in China and abroad concluded that: Foreign direct investment had positive influence on the technical progress of Chinese local enterprises. However, the conclusion was drew without considering the influence of changes in institution on Chinese total factor productivity. This paper puts the variable which representing changes in institution into econometric model, it's found...
Since Chinese enterprises act as the suppliers in the global value chain, the backward technology spillover dominate the technology spillover of foreign direct investment (FDI) in China. The paper conducts an empirical analysis into the impacts on Chinese productivity of the backward technology spillover of FDI in the global value chain, by introducing the related variables into the regression model...
