  • Breaking spatial barriers: How urban-rural transportation integration reshapes rural entrepreneurial entry

    Open Access•Chunlai Yuan, Zhuang Yao et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Rural Studies•2026

    This paper examines the causal impact of China's urban-rural transportation integration on the number of rural firm entries, using the “Urban-Rural Transportation Integration Demonstration County” policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Employing a multi-period difference-in-differences framework, this analysis reveals a positive effect of this integration on stimulating rural entrepreneurial entry. Specifically, compared to untreated areas, counti…

  • Spatial Spillover Effect of High-Speed Rail Opening on Urban Sprawl in China: Evidence from a Quasi-Natural Experiment

    Chunlai Yuan, Chuanming Zhang et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Urban Planning and…•2026

    High-speed rail (HSR), as one of the most important modern transportation tools, has accelerated population mobility and land development, thereby influencing urban spatial structure. This paper utilizes panel data from 289 Chinese cities from 2003 to 2020 and employs the spatial difference-in-differences model to examine the direct and indirect effects of HSR on urban sprawl. Our research finds that HSR significantly promotes local urban sprawl,…

  • The ‘environment-economy’ asymmetric effect of land conservation and intensive use policies: Evidence from quasi-natural experiments at the county level in China

    Open Access•Hongjuan Yu, Chunlai Yuan et al.•ARTICLE•Environment and Development…•2026

    This study treats the selection of land conservation and intensive use model counties as a quasi-natural experiment. Using Chinese county-level panel data, we evaluate the multidimensional impacts of the land conservation and intensive use policy (LCIUP). We find that LCIUP reduced PM2.5 concentrations in counties while simultaneously lowering per capita GDP, exerting a positive effect on environmental quality but a negative inhibitory effect on …

  • Green growth though national urban agglomeration policy? Evidence from a quasi-natural experiment

    Chunlai Yuan, Zhaojie Han et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Environmental Planning…•2026

    China is currently confronting the dilemma of achieving green development goals while ensuring economic growth. Urban agglomerations, as a new form of economic concentration, may serve as an effective solution to this challenge. This paper treats the State Council’s approval of national urban agglomeration as a quasi-natural experiment, utilizing panel data from 213 prefecture-level cities spanning from 2004 to 2020. A multi-period Difference-in-…

  • Unlocking Urban Talent Dividends: Can Digital Economy Development Accelerate Growth Through Scale, Efficiency and Allocation

    Open Access•Cong Zhang, Wan Li et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2026•References: 4

    Currently, the gradual fading of China's traditional demographic dividend has inhibited rapid economic growth. The talent dividend, serving as the localized practice of the ‘second demographic dividend’, is regarded by the Chinese government as the key to promoting high‐quality economic development. The development of the digital economy introduces digital technologies and knowledge, breaking down barriers to the flow of labour information and pr…

  • The path to regional coordinated development: The power of administrative division adjustment

    Open Access•Chunlai Yuan, Ting Zhu et al.•ARTICLE•Cities•2026•References: 47

    State-led administrative consolidations, such as China's City-County Consolidation (CCT), are a critical instrument for addressing uncoordinated regional development. Yet, whether they achieve or exacerbate spatial inequity remains highly contested. This study provides new evidence to resolve this debate. Employing a multi-period difference-in-differences approach with granular township-level nighttime light data, we conduct a multi-scalar assess…

  • Evaluating the Impact of Resource‐Exhausted Cities' Supporting Policies: Insights From Population Settlement

    Open Access•Zhenglong Cong, Xinshuang Cao et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2025•References: 10

    Resource‐exhausted cities grapple with an amalgam of challenges such as economic decline, substantial unemployment, and pressing environmental crises, posing a global conundrum. Population settlement is a cardinal driver of economic growth; hence, strategies to retain inhabitants are quintessential for the transformative growth of these cities. Leveraging a panel data set spanning 2003–2019 of Chinese county‐level jurisdictions, this study employ…
