Fiscal incentives and land finance cycles of prefectures in China
Land finance has become one of the important major sources of fiscal revenue for Chinese local governments. The spatial allocation of land use constitutes a land‐leasing policy operation of local officials, contributing to local economic development and fluctuation. Applying data from 283 prefectural units from 2003 to 2012, this paper explores the existence of land finance cycles, focussing on the changes of the amount (as in ‘area’) of land‐lea…
The advantage of being youngest
We explore how sex preference affects family size, and whether there is a tradeoff between family size and educational outcomes. Taking into account the endogeneity in family size and allowing for heterogeneous effect, family size has a negative impact on measured educational outcomes. Each additional sibling reduces years of education by almost two years, decreases the probability of completing primary and secondary education, suggesting a stron…
Time‐varying volatility in the Chinese economy
The dynamics of Human Development Index
In criticizing the nature of the Human Development Index, this paper proposes a different way of constructing the HDI in terms of capturing the pure flow of human development in the areas of material well-being, health, and education. Our comparison of the HDIF and the HDI shows that measuring human development with flow variables provides a better human development performance in terms of health and education than the traditional measure which i…
The aging of the Chinese population and the cost of health care
It is projected that by 2050 China could have a staggering 115 million elderly citizens over 80 years old. Serious planning is needed to cope with this demand. This is the direct and inevitable result of the one-child policy that came into effect in 1979, as an independent policy to the Comprehensive Economic Reform; but the complementary nature is unmistakable.In accordance with the objective of this special issue of the Social Science Journal, …
The role of the state in structural transition and economic crisis
As academicians, we emphasize to our students to keep up with class, and always read ahead. When I took over as President-elect of the WSSA in April of 2008, while busy communicating with the Section Coordinators and plan the 2009 Annual Conference (Reno, Nevada), I would occasionally pause and ponder what I would present for my President Address (reading ahead). What do I know that would be of interest to the general membership of the WSSA? I na…
Economic reform of China
Despite the early success in mobilizing the people after seizing power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) soon faced difficult bottlenecks. After the disastrous Great Leap Forward, compounded by the Three Bitter Years of natural calamities, reformists instituted a series of changes moving towards more market oriented rewards. This was short lived as Mao Zedong mobilized the Little Reds Guards to launch the Cultural Revolution and regain p…
Evolution of economic institutions and China’s economic reform
In the feudalistic society of medieval Europe, factors of production (such as land, etc.) were not commodities, it was not possible to change one's status through economic activities. With the collapse of the manor system, Europe evolved into Mercantilism, followed by a brief period of Physiocrats, which inspired the laissez faire of Smith, promoting the Industrial Revolution and the formulation of the market economy system. The economic developm…
