Diagnosing governance conditions and policy mixes for stronger use-rights performance in effort- and catch-based fisheries
Who leads the chain? Deciphering the trajectory of global value network in technology-intensive manufacturing and innovation effects
From fragmentation to integration: Evolving community structure of the Asia-Pacific shipping network since 1890
Global industrial robots trade network structure and its impact on manufacturing carbon intensity
Does foreign aid play a role in promoting economic development? Evidence from US aid
Does foreign aid always contribute to economic development in recipient countries? This question has never been fully addressed. Using data on US aid to 128 countries worldwide from 2000 to 2019, this paper examines the relationship between US aid and economic growth in recipient countries, and the moderating role of institutional quality and absorptive capacity in shaping this relationship. Different types of US aid are considered, including eco…
China’s interdependent positioning in the semiconductor global value chain
Does Technological Intensity Matter for Global Cross‐Border Mergers and Acquisitions in Manufacturing, 1998–2018
Despite being a key feature of the globalising world since the 1980s, the patterns and relationships between acquirer and target firms in cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have only gained attention in recent years. By examining the data between 1998 and 2018 through multinomial logistic regression models, this paper investigates the goodness of match on technological intensity (the closeness of technological capabilities) between acqu…
Mapping the structure and dynamics of global high-tech aerospace trade
The aerospace industry is a fast-growing high-tech sector related to the national economic lifeline and national defence security. In the context of prosperous cooperation and fierce competition between countries, a multi-layered global aerospace network, from production to trade, has been formed. However, the high-tech aerospace trade structure and its spatial pattern as the mirror of the industry lack systematic research. This study constructs …
The evolution of global cross-border R&D investment: A network analysis integrating geographical thinking
Proximity and cross-border acquisitions of technology assets by firms in latecomer economies: A study of Chinese firms, 2001-2018
We propose an analytical framework to examine how various dimensions of proximity between home and host countries could account for the trajectories and specificities of cross-border acquisitions of technology assets (CATAs) conducted by acquirer firms in latecomer economies. As Chinese firms have been increasingly using CATAs as a mean to catch up with their counterparts in advanced economies, we referred to their acquisition records to illustra…
Unbalanced global vaccine product trade pattern: A network perspective
China's emerging role in the global semiconductor value chain
The global model of semiconductor development has resulted in an asymmetric and interdependent relationship between China's critical role in semiconductor production and those regions such as the US which control the key inputs into the value chain. While this unbalanced relationship has facilitated many of the companies involved in the value chain in exploiting the comparative advantage of different locations for different functions and has allo…
Can Nuclear Power Products Mitigate Greenhouse Gas Emissions? Evidence from Global Trade Network
Since its birth, nuclear power has been a hot topic of academic research while being subject to much controversy. As a new green energy source with zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, nuclear power plays a vital role in combatting global climate change. Based on global databases and various empirical analysis methods, this study aimed to explore the changes in the global nuclear power product trade (GNT) network and its impact on GHG emissions f…
Transboundary Water Cooperation in the Post-Cold War Era: Spatial Patterns and the Role of Proximity
Transboundary water cooperation (TWC) is an important theme of international cooperation. We conducted macro-level research on TWC from the perspective of inter-country relations and constructed a theoretical framework in which multidimensional proximity influences the formation of global TWC. We explained how multidimensional proximity and the constituent elements comprehensively influence the cooperative willingness and ability of actors, which…
The changing patterns of international student mobility: A Network Perspective
Several studies have shown that international student mobility is uneven; they emphasise the importance of Western developed countries as destinations and reinforce the stereotype of the stability of international student mobility patterns. Considering different theoretical frameworks, this study argues that economic and higher education development in emerging countries and changes in economic ties and political connections between countries hav…
Spatial evolution of the global scientific collaborative network
The edge-bundling algorithm is applied to visualize the spatial evolution of the international scientific collaborative network, which is reshaping the global scientific landscape. Our analysis finds that as scientific research in the Asia-Pacific region has grown, especially in China, global scientific cooperation across the Eastern and Western hemispheres has greatly increased, thus extending the core axis of global scientific cooperation to th…
Does international student mobility foster scientific collaboration? Evidence from a network analysis
The knowledge production capacity of a country depends not only on its internal innovation factors, but also on its ‘social capital’ in the global network. International student mobility networks have become an important component of social capital that affects a country’s knowledge production capacity. This study combines the social network analysis method and econometrics method to visualise and quantitatively evaluate international student mob…
Globalization of science and international scientific collaboration: A network perspective
The geography of intercity technology transfer networks in China
In the era of the knowledge economy, the acquisition of exogenous knowledge is understood to be an important strategy for cities in their pursuit of economic growth. The Chinese government has taken measures to foster technology transfer between cities in an effort to promote the flow of knowledge and ideas. Patent transaction data from China's State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) covering the period 2008–15 are used to visualize the technol…
The changing geography of global science
Science is happening in more countries, although the spread is geographically uneven. The geography of global science is evolving from a bipolar world to a tripolar pattern, and there are shifts in relative terms from the West (Europe and the USA) towards the East (Asia-Pacific), and from the Global North (established economies) to the Global South (emerging economies). The traditional science powerhouses have dominated global science, but emergi…
Domestic Firm Innovation and Networking with Foreign Firms in China's ICT Industry
This study systematically analyzes the impacts of supplier-client and technological linkages with foreign firms on domestic firm technological innovation, based on a unique dataset that was collected through a survey of over 600 firms in China's information and communication technology industry. The results revealed that Chinese firms were engaged in extensive supplier-client relationships with foreign firms, although their technological collabor…
