Built Environment and Loneliness Trajectories Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults in China
Assessing the effect of window-view distance on mental health and personal well-being in high-density urban environments using city information models and deep learning algorithms
Urban nature exposure is linked to better mental health and well-being and may support the equigenesis hypothesis that individuals from lower socioeconomic levels may gain more benefits from nature exposure. However, little is known about the effects of window-view distance, which refers to the visual distance from indoor spaces through building windows to surrounding natural or built elements, on mental health and well-being. This is partly due …

View-Invariant 3D Building Retrieval with Topological Perception-Guided Feature Fusion
The increasing availability of 3D building models in digital-city applications has made scalable and accurate 3D building model retrieval essential. However, existing methods often struggle to capture the global structure of building models and to achieve stable retrieval results under viewpoint variations. To address these challenges, we propose a topological-perception-guided feature fusion framework with two complementary fusion schemes for di…
TMT Heterogeneity and Supply Chain Resilience: The Roles of Digital Transformation, Environmental Uncertainty and Innovation Quality
Supply chain resilience (SCR) is increasingly important as firms face recurrent disruptions. This paper examines whether diversity in the top management team (TMT) improves firm-level SCR and why, using panel data for Chinese A-share firms (2011–2023) with controls for industry and year effects. We find that greater TMT heterogeneity is positively associated with SCR, and the baseline model explains of the variance in SCR. Mechanism tests indicat…

Experienced economic segregation and associated mental health inequalities across urbanicity
Court Capture, Local Protectionism, and Economic Integration: Evidence from China
Court capture in developing countries is pervasive, yet its economic effects remain underexplored. We study a Chinese reform that transferred financial and personnel authority over local courts from local to provincial governments. Exploiting the staggered roll-out, we find a 7.3% decline in local defendants’ win rates against non-local plaintiffs, alongside improved judicial quality. The reform encouraged smaller non-local firms to litigate and …

The celebrity disaster area effect: Exploring the impact of social media on the distribution of humanitarian goods
Social media and public attention have resulted in an excessive concentration of humanitarian relief goods in high-exposure disaster areas and supply shortages in surrounding areas, which we refer to as a “celebrity disaster area effect”. This study uses system dynamics modeling and simulations to explore the impact of this effect on the humanitarian supply distribution during the 2022 Luding earthquake. We establish a celebrity disaster area eff…
Trade Liberalisation and Industrial Agglomeration: Evidence From China
China's manufacturing industries were rather scattered geographically, largely due to the nonmarket forces within its economy. This paper, employing a difference‐in‐difference estimation framework, finds that after China's accession to WTO in 2001, trade liberalisation, that is, import tariff cuts, significantly contributes to the increase in the geographical agglomeration of China's manufacturing industries in the 2000s. This underlying mechanis…

Disentangling residential self-selection from impacts of built environment characteristics on travel behaviors for older adults
In the context of population ageing in many developed and developing countries, encouraging active transport behaviors of older adults, is a key public health priority. However, many cross-sectional studies assessing the impact of built environment characteristics on travel behavior fail to address residential self-selection bias, and hence the causal relationship is uncertain. A large-scale public housing scheme provided this study with a unique…

Telecommunications Externality on Migration: Evidence from Chinese Villages
This paper uses a unique natural \n experiment in Chinese villages to investigate whether access \n to telecommunications-- in particular, landline phones -- \n increases the likelihood of outmigration. By using regional \n and time variations in the installation of landline phones, \n the difference-in-differences estimation shows that access \n to landline phones increases the ratio of out-migrant \n workers by 2 percentage points, or about 50 …
Import Competition and Skill Content in U.S. Manufacturing Industries
Skill content varies enormously across industries and over time. This paper shows that import competition can explain a significant portion of the variation in various skill measures across manufacturing industries. Industries that face more intense import competition employ more nonroutine skill sets, including cognitive, interpersonal, and manual skills, and fewer cognitive routine skills. In addition, we find that the impact of import competit…
A comparative study on the national counterpart aid model for post-disaster recovery and reconstruction: 2008 Wenchuan earthquake as a case
Purpose – External assistance is often urgently required when an area is struck by a catastrophe. Central government-oriented aid (CGA), national non-governmental organizations aid (NNA), and international humanitarian aid (IHA) are three typical aid models, and national counterpart aid (NCA) is an innovative model for post-Wenchuan earthquake recovery and reconstruction (PWERR). The purpose of this paper is to make a comparative study of the aid…
Associations Between Depression and Anxiety Symptoms and Retinal Vessel Caliber in Adolescents and Young Adults
OBJECTIVE: Previous longitudinal studies suggest that depression and anxiety are associated with risk for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to test whether an association between depression and anxiety symptoms and retinal vessel caliber, an indicator of subclinical cardiovascular risk, is apparent as early as adolescence and young adulthood. METHODS: Participants were 865 adolescents and young adults who participated in th…

Trade Liberalization and Markup Dispersion: Evidence from China's WTO Accession
In this paper, we empirically investigate whether trade liberalization affects markup dispersion, a potential source of resource misallocation. The identification uses China's WTO accession at the end of 2001. We show that trade liberalization reduces markup dispersion within a narrowly defined industry. We also examine both price and cost responses to trade liberalization, as well as heterogeneous effects across firms and across locations. Our s…

Does Trade Credit Boost Firm Performance
Some firms have achieved good performance in developing countries where the financial sector is far from established. One explanation in the literature is that these firms benefit from trade credit, a form of informal financing. Using a survey of firms in China conducted by the World Bank in early 2003, this article examines whether trade credit indeed boosts firm performance. Our ordinary least squares results show that trade credit is significa…

Alternations of White Matter Structural Networks in First Episode Untreated Major Depressive Disorder with Short Duration
It is crucial to explore the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD) at the early stage for the better diagnostic and treatment strategies. It was suggested that MDD might be involving in functional or structural alternations at the brain network level. However, at the onset of MDD, whether the whole brain white matter (WM) alterations at network level are already evident still remains unclear. In the present study, diffusion MRI scanning…
Types of community-focused organisations for disaster risk reduction in the Longmen Shan Fault area
In the past 10 years, both the Wenchuan earthquake (2008, Magnitude = 8.0) and the Lushan earthquake (2013, Magnitude = 7.0) struck in the Longmen Shan Fault area, causing extraordinary human and economic losses. After the Wenchuan earthquake, the Chinese government began promoting the Community for Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (CDPM) project nationwide to enhance community-level disaster-resistance capacities. Due to post-earthquake demand…
Multi-stakeholder collaboration in community post-disaster reconstruction: Case study from the Longmen Shan Fault area in China
While multi-stakeholder collaboration is critical for effective community post-disaster reconstruction (CPDR), it is often very difficult in practice. The Longmen Shan Fault active seismic zone in China has experienced several recent earthquakes with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake and 2013 Lushan earthquake, both of which caused extensive and widespread damage to many communities, presenting unprecedented challenges for post-disaster reconstruction…

The Effect of Teacher Gender on Students’ Academic and Noncognitive Outcomes
This paper examines the role of teacher gender in education production. We extend student outcomes from traditionally focused academic achievement to noncognitive outcomes. Using a representative survey of middle school students in China, we focus on schools where student-teacher assignments are random. Our results show that having a female teacher raises girls’ test scores and improves their mental status and social acclimation relative to those…
Support Vector Machine Classification of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Based on Whole-Brain Volumetry and Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods have been used to detect cerebral anatomical distinction between obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients and healthy controls (HC). Machine learning approach allows for the possibility of discriminating patients on the individual level. However, few studies have used this automatic technique based on multiple modalities to identify potential biomarkers of OCD. High-resolution structural MRI and diffus…
The Association of Urban Greenness and Walking Behavior: Using Google Street View and Deep Learning Techniques to Estimate Residents’ Exposure to Urban Greenness
Many studies have established that urban greenness is associated with better health outcomes. Yet most studies assess urban greenness with overhead-view measures, such as park area or tree count, which often differs from the amount of greenness perceived by a person at eye-level on the ground. Furthermore, those studies are often criticized for the limitation of residential self-selection bias. In this study, urban greenness was extracted and ass…
Exploring the Impacts of Housing Condition on Migrants’ Mental Health in Nanxiang, Shanghai: A Structural Equation Modelling Approach
Although rapid urbanization and associated rural-to-urban migration has brought in enormous economic benefits in Chinese cities, one of the negative externalities include adverse effects upon the migrant workers' mental health. The links between housing conditions and mental health are well-established in healthy city and community planning scholarship. Nonetheless, there has thusfar been no Chinese study deciphering the links between housing con…
