The More, the Healthier? Effects of Sibling Size on Adolescent Depression in Rural China
INTRODUCTION: Depression in adolescents is of particular concern, given their heightened vulnerability. Previous studies reported mixed findings regarding siblings' role in adolescent mental health, suggesting that sibling effects may be context-dependent. This study investigated how sibling size, an essential aspect of sibling structure, affects adolescent depression in rural China, an area that has experienced both a substantial decline in sibl…
More information, better diet?―regression-discontinuity evidence from hypertension diagnoses in China
Hypertension is diagnosed when one’s systolic blood pressure (SBP) reading exceeds 140 mmHg or his/her diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reading exceeds 90 mmHg. Exploiting these diagnostic rules, this paper identifies the causal impact of hypertension diagnoses on one’s diet structure by performing a two-dimensional regression discontinuity analysis. Our analysis of a longitudinal dataset on 9355 Chinese adults from a large-scale household survey r…
Moderating effects of a healthy lifestyle on the association of pre-metabolic syndrome with multiple chronic disease comorbidities
Studies have shown that healthy lifestyles reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS), but their impact on pre-metabolic syndrome (PreMetS) with multiple comorbidities remains unclear. To explore the association of PreMetS and MetS with multiple comorbidities and to assess whether a healthy lifestyle influences these associations. Associations between PreMetS and MetS, lifestyle behaviors and multiple comorbidities were analyzed by univariate a…
Can We-Media Help Reduce the Consumption of Sugary Fruit Juice Drinks With the Presence of the Halo Effect?—Insights From A Discrete Choice Experiment in Beijing, China
While fruit juices are widely considered healthy, their high sugar contents are often masked by a “halo effect” created by the positive image of fruits. This study, taking orange juice as a focal product, explores the role online self-media plays in reducing consumers’ sugary drink consumption with the presence of a halo effect. A discrete choice experiment (with attributes including fruit juice concentration, sugar content, taste, and price) was…
Consumer Forgiveness in Online Travel Agency Service Recovery
Online travel agencies (OTAs) have significantly enhanced the efficiency of online travel services. However, frequent service failures have adversely impacted the reputation and performance of OTAs. Consequently, there is an urgent need for further academic exploration of this issue. This study employed a scenario experimental method to collect data and conduct empirical analysis. The findings indicated that perceived fairness enhances consumer e…
The mediating role of intellectual activities in the relationship between depressive symptoms and catastrophic health expenditure among middle-aged and older adults
Windfall gains and household consumption
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 …
A neglected health burden of shadow education?—Effects of private supplementary tutoring on middle school students’ vision in China
The Mate Screening Motive
Previous research has found that for men, activating a mating motive increases luxury consumption as a way to attract a romantic partner. However, little is known about the role of luxury consumption in women's romantic endeavors. The present research conceptualizes a mate screening motive, which explains how women use luxury consumption to romantically signal to men. Six studies and two follow-ups conducted in controlled and field settings show …
Myopia and Depression among Middle School Students in China—Is There a Mediating Role for Wearing Eyeglasses
Compared with non-myopic students, myopic students face more barriers to learning (e.g., inability to see the blackboard clearly) and socializing (e.g., being victims of teasing, social exclusion and violence), which may lead to increased stress, anxiety and frustration. The high prevalence of myopia and depression among school-age children naturally raises a question of great policy relevance: are myopic students more vulnerable to mental health…
Population policy, family size and child malnutrition in Vietnam – Testing the trade-off between child quantity and quality from a child nutrition perspective
Impacts of boarding on primary school students’ mental health outcomes – Instrumental-Variable evidence from rural northwestern China
Does private tutoring improve student learning in China? Evidence from the China Education Panel Survey
Based on data from the China Education Panel Survey, which covers 28 counties/districts of China, this study applies a difference‐in‐differences method (combined with propensity score matching in some analyses) to estimate the impacts of private tutoring on students' learning outcomes. Our analyses yield three important findings. First, subject‐specific tutoring has a statistically significant and positive effect on Grade 8 students' scores on Ch…
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…

Impacts of Late School Entry on Children's Cognitive Development in Rural Northwestern China—Does Preprimary Education Matter
This article estimates the causal effect of primary school entry age on children's cognitive development in rural northwestern China, using data on nearly 1,800 primary school aged children from the Gansu Survey of Children and Families. Instrumental variable estimates, exploiting the discontinuity structure in children's school entry age around the enrolment cut‐off date, indicate that a 1‐year delay in school entry reduces children's scores on …

What Determines Learning among K inh and Ethnic Minority Students in V ietnam? An Analysis of the Round 2 Young Lives Data
An analysis of the Young Lives data collected in 2006, involving a younger cohort (aged 5) and an older cohort (aged 12), yields three important findings regarding the Kinh–ethnic minority gaps in mathematics and reading skills in V ietnam. First, large disparities exist even before children start primary school. Second, language may play an important role: Vietnamese‐speaking ethnic minority children scored much higher than their non‐Vietnamese‐…
