Calculated capital
Overseas development finance plays a pivotal role in China’s expanding global engagement. Existing scholarship often underestimates the commercial astuteness of Chinese capital, portraying it as “patient” due to its higher tolerance of risk compared to Western capital, which prioritizes short-term gains. However, we demonstrate that this narrative overlooks the calculated decisions behind much Chinese overseas lending. Our empirical analysis of C…
Does governance matter? Comparing the determinants of Chinese and Western trade with Africa
In recent decades, China has risen to prominence in the global economy with breakneck speed. Many have hypothesised that Chinese economic actors undermine the global drive to promote good governance in developing countries, and in Africa in particular, by disproportionately engaging economically with countries that suffer from poor governance outcomes. Using bilateral trade data, this paper explicitly compares how different aspects of African cou…
More Problems More Money? Does China Lend More to African Countries with Higher Credit Risk Levels
China has provided hundreds of billions of dollars in loans to developing countries. Researchers and pundits have focused on China’s motivations for allocating development finance, particularly in Africa, due to debt sustainability concerns. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the ways in which creditworthiness impacts the Chinese government’s development finance allocation decisions. In doing so, it examines the impact of Afric…
A torrent or a trickle? The local economic impacts of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
Chinese mammoth investment projects abroad, and especially those under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) umbrella, are receiving heavy scrutiny in academic and policy circles. However, there is insufficient empirical evidence to evaluate their impact. This paper employs a difference- in-differences approach and a pair of new datasets on government spending and economic activity compiled by the World Bank to examine the local impacts of the Chine…
Making It Rain? Comparing the Determinants of Chinese and Western FDI Flows to Africa
This paper tests whether Chinese FDI disproportionately flows to poorly governed African countries, compared to those of the West. It also explores whether UN voting alignment between home and host countries, development loans from the former to the latter, and host countries’ market size, natural resource wealth, and per capita income impact Chinese and Western FDI flows differently. It finds that governance quality among African countries plays…
Under a money tree? Comparing the determinants of Western and Chinese development finance flows to Africa
China’s breakneck economic growth has been accompanied by an expanding development finance agenda. Many have hypothesized that China is undermining the West’s drive to promote good governance globally, and in Africa in particular, by predominantly distributing money to poorly governed countries. This paper explores whether the determinants of Chinese development finance in Africa differ from those of Western countries. It finds that Western count…
A baseline evaluation of atmospheric and river discharge conditions in the Hudson Bay Complex during 2016–2018
In this article, we examine atmospheric and river discharge conditions within the Hudson Bay Complex for the BaySys 2016–2018 field program time frame. Investigated in particular is a subset of European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Re-Analysis - Interim (ERA-Interim) atmospheric forcing variables, namely 2-m surface temperature, 10-m surface winds, precipitation, and sea-level pressure, in addition to river discharge. Results…
Integrated Geophysical Techniques for the Archaeological Investigation of LbDt-1, a Paleo-Inuit Lithic Quarry Site in the Interior of Southern Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada
Combining remote sensing, geophysics, and lithic provenance and reduction to understand long-term continuity in Paleo-Inuit chert quarrying and seasonal inland travels on southern Baffin Island, NU
Manual Point Cloud Classification and Extraction for Hunter-Gatherer Feature Investigation
For archaeologists, the task of processing large terrestrial laser scanning (TLS)-derived point cloud data can be difficult, particularly when focusing on acquiring analytical and interpretive outcomes from the data. Using our TLS lidar data collected in 2013 from two compositionally different, low Arctic multi-component hunter-gatherer sites (LdFa-1 and LeDx-42), we demonstrate how a manual point cloud classification approach with open source so…
Combined Geophysical Approach in a Complex Arctic Archaeological Environment
In 2014, we mapped the complex landscape of component Area 5 at LdFa‐1, a 3000‐year‐old Palaeoeskimo site located in the deep interior of southern Baffin Island, using a combined magnetic and electromagnetic approach to define the physical characteristics of any large‐ or small‐scale anthropogenic anomalies. Measurements were made using a GEM Systems Overhauser magnetometer‐gradiometer and Geonics EM31 instrument, and a survey configuration desig…
Factors Associated with the Content of Sex Education in U.S. Public Secondary Schools
Predicting Maternal Behaviors During Pregnancy
CONTEXT: Women's behavior during pregnancy, which can affect the health of their infant, may be influenced by their attitude toward the pregnancy. METHODS: Multivariate analyses of data from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey and the 1988 National Survey of Family Growth were conducted to investigate whether women with unplanned births differ from other women in their pregnancy behavior, independent of their social and demographi…
The Effects of Pregnancy Planning Status on Birth Outcomes and Infant Care
CONTEXT: The planning status of a pregnancy may affect a woman's prenatal behaviors and the health of her newborn. However, whether this effect is independent or is attributable to socioeconomic and demographic factors has not been explored using nationally representative data. METHODS: Data were obtained on 9,122 births reported in the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey and 2,548 births reported in the 1988 National Survey of Family…
Postmodern Uses of the Bible
Race and the Retreat From Marriage
We provide a search-theoretic model of the transition to first marriage among young [black and white] women in the United States. We measure directly the pool of unmarried men relative to unmarried women in local marriage markets as well as the economic attractiveness of available men for each unmarried woman in the NLSY [National Longitudinal Survey of Youth]....Our event-history analysis evaluates the contextual effects of marriage market condi…
