How does last-mile logistics accessibility affect household dietary diversity? Evidence from rural China
This study investigates how last-mile logistics accessibility affects household dietary diversity in rural China. We combine a 2022 survey of 1080 rural households in Jilin, Shandong, and Hubei provinces with Amap point of interest data. We also use a supplementary 2024 survey on online food purchasing. Logistics accessibility is measured by the number of village delivery points, and a two-stage least squares framework is used to address potentia…
Rural Transformation and Household Welfare
This study examines the relationship between rural transformation and household welfare using a nationally representative panel comprising approximately 298,000 household-year observations in rural China from 2003 to 2022. It focuses on two pathways: non-farm employment and high-value agriculture. Fixed-effects estimates, supported by supplementary instrumental-variable results, show that both pathways are associated with higher consumption and l…
E-commerce and the consumption structure of rural households in China
Using the Rural E-commerce Demonstration Counties (REDC) program as a quasi-natural experiment, this study employs a multi-period difference-in-differences (DID) model with data from the China Household Finance Survey (CHFS) between 2013 and 2019 to examine the impact of e-commerce on the consumption structure of rural households. The results show that e-commerce significantly promotes the upgrading of rural households’ consumption structure. Spe…

Alcohol consumption and allergic diseases
Background The prevalence of allergic diseases in China has risen significantly over the past decades, affecting the quality of life for approximately 40% of the population.Objectives This study aimed to integrate survey and genomic data to explore the potential causal relationship between alcohol consumption and allergic diseases.Method In collaboration with a leading genetic testing company in China, we collected data on 3,041 participants via …
Can information intervention improve dietary quality? Evidence from a randomized controlled trial in rural China
The impact of the peer effect on adolescent drinking behavior
The study found that parental care plays a significant role in the degree of peer effect, with the absence of parental care being a key factor in the presence of the peer effect
The impact of peer effect on students' consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages- instrumental variable evidence from north China
Dark Side or Bright Side
Existing studies have explored the causal effect of social capital on harmful drinking, while the effect of drinking habits on trust is scant. In China, drinking rituals and drinking culture are considered important ways of promoting social interaction and trust, especially in rural areas where traditional culture is stronger. Based on a field survey in rural China in 2019, this paper explores the relationship between drinking habits and trust. F…
Does Subjective Dietary Knowledge Affect Sugar-Sweetened Carbonated Beverages Consumption and Child Obesity? Empirical Evidence from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China
Worldwide, overweight and obesity have become an important public health problem affecting the health of children and adolescents. In China, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has reached 19 percent among the 6-17-year-old age group. Although studies have shown that regular consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), especially sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages (SSCBs), is positively correlated with overweight and obesity among chil…
Parental Nutrition Knowledge, Iron Deficiency, and Child Anaemia in Rural China
Anaemia is a factor that could affect health and school performance of students and shed a shadow on poverty in the long-run, particularly in rural China. In response, the current literature mainly pays attention to the effect of direct payments such as money and food. Although some literature indicates that a key to children’s nutritional improvement is to increase their parents’ nutrition knowledge, it has not been well studied. The main purpos…
Does Dietary Diversity Reduce the Risk of Obesity? Empirical Evidence from Rural School Children in China
Childhood and adolescence overweight and obesity have implications for both health consequences and economic burden. Although it has been an emerging public health problem for primary school children in rural China and the importance of the diet-health link has been stressed for many years, rigorous analysis of the dietary diversity and obesity among children is rare. To clarify this issue, this study provides a better understanding of the functi…

Poverty and Subjective Poverty in Rural China
China is undergoing a campaign which is called 'The Targeted Poverty Alleviation Policy' to eradicate extreme poverty from rural China until 2020. Though poverty in rural China has been studied intensively in different objective dimensions, little attention has been paid to poverty line settings and subjective poverty, which are hinged to the policy effects. In order to fill in the research gap, this study employs a nationally representative surv…
Impacts of Nutrition Subsidies on Diet Diversity and Nutritional Outcomes of Primary School Students in Rural Northwestern China—Do Policy Targets and Incentives Matter
Many developing countries have implemented nutrition intervention programs to reduce child malnutrition. However, the effectiveness of these programs differs greatly, and it remains unclear what is causing the differences in effectiveness across different programs. To shed some light on this issue, this article examines the role the specificity of policy targets, along with the incentives attached, plays in affecting the effectiveness of nutritio…

Nutrition and Educational Performance in Rural China's Elementary Schools
Despite growing wealth and a strengthening commitment from the government to provide quality education, a significant share of students across rural China still have inadequate access to micronutrient-rich regular diets. Such poor diets can lead to nutritional problems, such as iron-deficiency anemia, that can adversely affect attention and learning in school. The overall goal of this article is to test whether simple nutritional interventions lo…
