Driving digital village development for rural modernization: The evidence of China
Governmental Capabilities and Responsiveness: Global Investigations into CO 2 Emissions and Decarbonization. The Ultimate Super Wicked Problem
We consider how the governmental and political contexts of societies affect the delivery of decarbonization agendas. Data on government effectiveness and political stability (capability) and voice and accountability (responsiveness) are related to emission levels in high and middle/low-income countries. The analysis implied that greater government effectiveness initially decreased, but then increased emissions. Alternatively, improvements in poli…
Harnessing Machine Learning to Address High Levels of Missing Data in Cross-National Studies: From Bias to Precision in Public Service Research
How central policy signals promote the implementation of public–private partnership policies: An empirical analysis of 257 prefecture-level cities in China
Against expectation, strong central signals do not consistently drive PPP adoption. Using panel data from 257 prefecture-level cities between 2012 and 2021, this study explores that weaker central signals can be more effective in prompting PPP adoption. The influence of central signals is more pronounced in cities that have higher marketization levels, especially those in the eastern region, led by older leaders, in large or mega cities, and havi…
The Factors that Shape Chinese Officials’ Political Attitudes: An Experimental Intergenerational Approach
The influencing mechanism of financial development on CO2 emissions in China: Double moderating effect of technological innovation and fossil energy dependence
Is democracy pro‐poor? An empirical test of the Sen Hypothesis based on global evidence
It has long been hypothesized that democracy benefits the poor, yet solid empirical evidence for this assertion is scarce. This article provides new global evidence regarding the poverty‐reduction effect of democracy, which we refer to as the Sen Hypothesis. A difference‐in‐differences estimation using cross‐national panel data of over 100 countries from 1995 to 2015 shows that democracy reduces poverty, although the size of the effect varies by …
Does Regional Tourism Benefit from the Official Quality Rating of Tourist Attractions? Evidence from China’s Top-grade Tourist Attraction Accreditations
China National Tourism Administration began to grade the quality of tourist attractions in 2001, which is used by tourist attractions to signal their tourism quality, attract tourists, and thus increase tourism revenue. However, few studies have examined the impact of official quality rating on the regional tourism economy. This paper uses China’s prefectural city panel data from 2000 to 2015 to evaluate the impact of the accreditation of top-gra…
The effect of number of siblings and birth order on educational attainment: Empirical Evidence from Chinese General Social Survey
Middle Class and Its Attitude Toward Government in Different Political Systems: A Comparison of China and Japan
Are Chinese college graduates satisfied with serving as village officials? An evaluation with nationwide survey data
To promote rural socio-economic development, the Chinese government has encouraged college graduates to work in villages since 2005, bringing about a novel nonmarket-determined job called graduate village official. We use nationwide survey data to analyse the determinants of job satisfaction for graduate village officials. Empirical results show that the job satisfaction of graduate village officials is basically not determined by their personal …
Reversing the U: New Evidence on the Internet and Democracy Relationship
The relationship between the Internet and democratic developments has long been a controversial topic, hampered in part by the lack of empirical evidence. So this study is undertaken to investigate the effects of Internet penetration on democratization based on the panel data of 125 countries gathered from 1993 to 2014. The authors apply machine-learning method (i.e., random forest) to effectively screen the variables that are more closely relate…
Balancing Local Concerns and Global Views: Western Administrative Theory in China's Reform Practices
China's five‐yearly governmental restructuring has always taken place in lockstep with the Communist Party of China National Congress. Moreover, the theme of every administrative reform in the past three decades has complied with that of theoretical research by foreign scholars during the same period. The Chinese government draws lessons from theories of foreign public administration to explore ways to reform its practices. By means of evaluating…
