  • Fiscal transfers and economic convergence

    Open AccessGuanchun Liu, Jianbo Song et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2022

    This study investigates how fiscal transfers affect economic convergence across Chinese provinces. Using the data of 26 provinces over 1995–2016, we find that fiscal transfers promote an ‘immiserising convergence’ resulting from a decline in growth in rich provinces. Specifically, general fiscal transfers play an insignificant role, and special fiscal transfers facilitate the economic growth of poor provinces but impede that of rich provinces. Fu…

    Jianbo Song, Haiqing Zhang et al.ARTICLEEconomic and Political Studies2020References: 3

    Environmental subsidies are important means for the government to promote companies to fulfil environmental protection responsibilities. Employing a text analysis method, this study obtains the data on government subsidies for environmental protection of A-share listed companies in China from 2007 to 2016. Empirical estimates show that the subsidies received by companies promote their environmental inputs. Additionally, analyst tracking and inter…

  • Does development of financial markets help firm innovation? Evidence from China

    Jianbo Song, Zihao Su et al.ARTICLEEconomic and Political Studies2018References: 1

    This paper examines the impact of financial market development on firm R&D investment. Using hand-collected R&D investment data of 221 high-tech firms listed in China’s small and medium-sized board in the period of 2009–2015, we find that equity financing, particularly internal cash flow, is the main source for R&D investment of high-tech firms. Mature firms make more use of debt financing than young ones and are faced with less severe financial …

  • The Renminbi Exchange Rate Reform and the Rebalancing of China’s Growth Model

    Jianbo Song, Sean P Mackinnon et al.ARTICLEEconomic and Political Studies2015References: 1

    This paper posits that a proper way to estimate the Renminbi (RMB) exchange rate is to base the evaluation on the Balassa-Samuelson effect, and that the optimal way to facilitate China’s growth model transformation is gradual RMB internationalization and capital account liberalization. Regression estimates show that the gross domestic product per capita growth rate, or the productivity growth rate, has strong explanatory validity when estimating …

  • Understanding the evolving inflation process in China

    Chengsi Zhang, Jianbo Song et al.ARTICLEThe Social Science Journal2013Cited by: 1References: 1

    This paper analyzes the evolving inflation process in China from 1997 to 2011. We construct a multivariate dynamic framework that captures the features of interactions between inflation and other relevant variables in China. Empirical results show that excess liquidity holds the most important predictive power on inflation in China. Further investigation demonstrates that there is significant pass-through effect from exchange rates and import pri…
