Fiscal decentralization and land urbanization: Evidence from China's fiscal reform of “province-managing-county”
How Does Urban Expansion Affect Regional Haze Pollution: An Intergovernmental Tax Competition Perspective
This paper utilizes geographic and nighttime light data to identify the levels of haze pollution and the extent of urban spatial expansion across Chinese provinces, thus partially addressing measurement errors in the variables. Building upon this, the paper incorporates local government tax competition, urban expansion, and regional haze pollution into a unified research framework. Using dynamic spatial panel data from 30 provinces in mainland Ch…
Education modernization in rural China: Exploring Temporality in Education Policy
Temporality is a relatively new conception in the field of education policy. Drawing upon historical sociology, this article aims to contribute to the field by deconstructing China’s policy discourse – education modernization. It traces the history of the discourse (1904–2012) to analyze how Chinese rurality is interwoven into the nation’s pursuit of modern country status. Two temporal threads are identified: the rural as a problem and the rural …
Grandparental care and childhood obesity in China
Ongoing increases in childhood obesity have become a serious public health concern. Meanwhile, caregiving by grandparents becomes a worldwide social phenomenon. This study estimates the effect of grandparental care on childhood obesity and explores its pathways. Utilizing five waves of panel data from the China Family Panel Studies, we found that grandparental care significantly increases the probability of childhood obesity, adding 3.6 percentag…
Measuring Corruption in China: An Expenditure‐based Approach Using Household Survey Data
Most existing micro‐level empirical analyses of corruption rely on administrative records, special‐purpose surveys or field experiments, which can be difficult or very costly to obtain in some situations. In this paper, we apply an expenditure‐based method of quantifying the extent of corruption in a particular country using household survey data. This method utilizes discrepancies between consumption and reported income to measure corruption. An…
The Effect of Sibling Size on Children’s Health and Education: Is there a Quantity-Quality Trade-off
The quantity-quality trade-off is one important motivation for the family planning policies in many developing countries. In this paper, we examine the effect of number of siblings on children’s health and education in China. We find evidence of quantity-quality trade-off in children’s health but not in children’s education. Our study has three contributions. First, we focus not only on children’s education but also on children’s health, which ha…
Does Education Expansion Increase Intergenerational Mobility
Education expansion may lead to ‘over‐education’, where the social connections of parents may exert more significant influence on the return to education of children. With the assumption of a positive correlation between return on human capital and parental income in the presence of over‐education, we show that: (i) the expansion of education may cause horizontal inequity in education opportunities and inefficiency in human capital accumulation; …
Equity in Pharmaceutical Utilization in Ontario: A Cross-Section and Over Time Analysis
This study investigates inequality and inequity in pharmaceutical utilization in Ontario. First, I compare inequality and inequity in drug use between the senior and non-senior population of Ontario at three points in time: 1990, 1996/97, and 2000/01. During this period, all seniors were universally covered by the publicly financed Ontario Drug Benefit (ODB) program. This was not the case for the non-senior population. Second, I examine the chang…
