Avatar-mediated communication in collaborative virtual environments
Collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) facilitate avatar-mediated communication (AMC), where users interact using human-like virtual characters in shared virtual worlds, enhancing the attractiveness, attentiveness, and connectedness of remote social experiences and thus becoming extremely popular nowadays in various application domains such as education and healthcare. Understanding how different aspects of avatar behaviours influence various …
Assessing the Effectiveness of Air Pollution Control Policy Mixes
In recent years, there have been extensive theoretical discourse on policy mixes. Nevertheless, empirical research on the factors contributing to their effectiveness remains limited. This study examines the relationship between two features in policy mixes design, namely intensity and balance, as well as their impacts on policy effectiveness. Using provincial-level data from China (2013–2018), this paper explores how these features enhance policy…
Improving resilience to extreme heat events through green space morphology
Assessing the Impact of Democratic Institutions and Administrative Capacity on National Carbon Emissions Reduction
Addressing climate mitigation goals at a national level is crucial for their overall success. This paper builds upon existing literature that identifies the national institutional setting, such as democratic polity, as a significant factor influencing a nation's commitment to, and the effectiveness of, carbon emissions reduction. However, we argue that democracy is a more complex concept than the oversimplified notion of “level of democracy.” The…
Accessibility analysis and optimization strategies of green spaces for enhancing climate resilience
With the rapid growth of urban populations, disparities in green space allocation have become more evident. As critical components of green space, parks play a vital role in mitigating climate risks and supporting residents’ physical and mental well-being. However, in rapidly expanding megacities, spatial and social inequities in park accessibility hinder green space from fully delivering its climate adaptation functions. This paper develops a fr…
Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Technology in the Public Policy Cycle
Mitigating conflicts in the implementation of intensive land use policies
Aligning Behavioral Assumptions Underlying Policy Instruments
In practice, multiple policy instruments are often combined to achieve complex goals. However, predicting whether policy mixes will have complementary or conflicting effects remains a theoretical challenge, especially in those aimed at changing individuals' cognition and behavior. We provide novel theoretical and empirical insights into policy mix effectiveness by defining and differentiating the behavioral assumptions embedded in policy instrume…

Within the shadow of hierarchy
Existing literature often analyzes the effects of horizontal relationships on collaborative governance, though some scholars have started to recognize the role of hierarchical interventions. This paper identities two poorly examined areas of study. First, there is a lack of empirical studies to understand the diverse impacts of hierarchical interventions on collaborative governance. Second, there is little deliberation on how existing horizontal …
Does Trade Facilitation Promote Export Technological Sophistication? Evidence From the European Transition Countries
In this paper, we examine the impact of trade facilitation on the export technological sophistication from the European transition economies over 2004 to 2020. It is found that, in terms of trend, the export technological sophistication of labor-intensive and traditional resource-intensive industries is primarily concentrated in a lower range. In contrast, the export technological sophistication of capital and technology-intensive industries is g…
Government-Led or Public-Led? Chinese Policy Agenda Setting during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This paper compares government-led agenda and public-led agenda setting during the COVID-19 pandemic in China to investigate whether or not the pandemic enhances the government's role in agenda setting. Within-case comparison, aided by big data analysis and case study, finds an overall public-led pattern of agenda setting in China, and a mixture of government-led and public-led agenda setting during the pandemic. It is also found that Chinese gov…
The Influencing Factors of Haze Tolerance in China
Haze pollution has become the most serious environmental risk in China and generated a large amount of public concerns. Influencing almost all the citizens in the polluted area, it is necessary and important to take public perception as an essential element in haze abatement. From the perspective of social psychology, this paper explores haze tolerance in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, also the key influential factors on haze tolerance from fo…
Policy instrument designed to gain transition legitimacy
Low-carbon China
Institutions and intellectual property
Over the past 20 years, the number of patents assigned to universities has increased dramatically. This increase coincided with several policy initiatives, such as the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, designed to foster technology transfer between universities and the private sector. This paper examines the effect of such policies using an institutional framework, designed to illustrate how factors both from inside and outside of academia influence the dec…
