Workforce patterns and income disparities in a growing US city
Using US census microdata (2013 and 2019), this article builds a refined job classification taxonomy to examine how occupational sorting across sectors shapes income disparities in the growing metropolitan area of Atlanta. We find pronounced sectoral income differences, with historically marginalized Black and Hispanic workers disproportionately concentrated in lower-income jobs. Black domestic migrants exhibit positive skill-based selection into…

Heterogeneous effects of a foreign buyer tax on house prices in New South Wales
This article combines unconditional quantile regressions with difference-in-differences to study the distributive effects of a foreign buyer tax (FBT) on home prices in New South Wales (NSW). The main results reveal that the FBT reduces house prices in NSW but only among the more expensive houses located in desirable neighborhoods of Sydney and with a relatively high share of foreign-born population. We find evidence that the FBT reduces transact…
Disentangling agglomeration economies from selection under policy distortions in China
This paper explores the competing sources of productivity gains observed in China’s urban agglomerations focusing on three pillar industries: agro-food processing, textiles and electronics. The main results reveal that the higher aggregate productivity observed in denser Chinese cities is driven by both agglomeration and selection forces. Subsequent analysis shows that industrial support policies help to mitigate the selection penalty, but come a…
Spatioethnic Household Carbon Footprints in China and the Equity Implications of Climate Mitigation Policy
This article relies on the first and only representative survey data to estimate household carbon footprints (CFs) of China’s large yet vastly understudied ethnic minority population, documenting for the first time significant ethnic disparities in CFs driven by ethnic minorities’ relatively worse-off living standards: From 2010 to 2020, China’s ethnic minority population contributed less than 6 percent of residential emissions, about 50 percent …
Community-wide broadband adoption and student academic achievement
Rural road stimulus and the role of matching mandates on economic recovery in China
The impact of China's R&D subsidies on R&D investment, technological upgrading and economic growth
This paper investigates the impact of research and development (R&D) subsidies on R&D inputs and their wider economic effects. The empirical analysis employs a structural vector autoregressive (VAR) model using a panel of Chinese provinces during the 2000–2010 time period. In support of a partial crowding-out view, public R&D subsidies allocated to large and medium-sized enterprises (LMEs) are found to increase total R&D inputs proxied by total R…
Impact of a guaranteed minimum income program on rural–urban migration in China
This article relies on a regression discontinuity (RD) design to estimate the impact of an unconditional cash transfer from Minimum Income Living Allowance (MLSA)—one of the largest basic income guarantee programs in the world—on the household decision to participate in rural–urban migration. The study is informed by novel survey data that provide the first and only representative information on China’s large, but understudied ethnic minority are…
Socio-economic impacts of scaling back a massive payments for ecosystem services programme in China
Picking 'winners' in space
This paper examines the spatial patterns of China's industrial encouragement policy and its distributional impact on firm productivity. To this end, I develop separate proxies to measure three popular policy instruments (subsidies, tax holidays, and preferential access to loans). I first show that China's industrial support policies tend to exhibit a prominent spatial feature of targeting firms located in lagging cities with lower density. Taking…
Minimum wage impacts on Han-minority Workers’ wage distribution and inequality in urban china
Explaining the urban premium in Chinese cities and the role of place-based policies
This paper relies on the empirical framework introduced in Combes et al. (2012) to address the following main questions: (a) what are the relative contributions of agglomeration and selection forces expected to drive the urban productivity premium previously observed in Chinese cities, and (b) to what extent does the industrial parks and zones (IPZs) program, a popular place-based policy, simultaneously influence selection and agglomeration mecha…
Ethnic entrepreneurship, initial financing, and business performance in China
Agglomeration, absorptive capacity and knowledge governance
This paper considers the role of firm ownership structure, absorptive capacity and agglomeration on firm innovation in the Chinese context. A popular co-occurrence measure is used to measure local spillovers expected to take place between similar but different industries co-located together. Relying on a large panel of Chinese firms, this paper offers three main results: (1) privately owned enterprises (POEs) are more efficient innovators than th…
Industry relatedness, FDI liberalization and the indigenous innovation process in China
This paper employs a structural innovation model to study the process of indigenous innovation in China and the role of industry relatedness. To better take into account China's transitioning economy context, it further tests to what extent the relationship between relatedness and firms’ innovation process is influenced by the relaxation of foreign ownership controls, an arguably exogenous shock. Controlling for selection, simultaneity and unobse…
Turning Points in the Chinese Civil War
This paper provides a quantitative assessment of contemporary beliefs about ‘turning points’ that shaped the outcome of the Chinese Civil War (1946–49). We employ an endogenous structural break method relying on a novel data set to exploit breakpoints in the daily price quotes of Chinese sovereign bonds traded on the London market. As late as spring 1947, the London market evidently believed there was a reasonable chance of either the Kuomintang …
Breast cancer risk in a screening cohort of Asian and white British/Irish women from Manchester UK
Asian women attending screening in Greater Manchester are likely to have a lower risk of breast cancer than white British/Irish women, but they undertake less physical activity and have more adult weight gain
Impacts of Migration and Remittances on Ethnic Income Inequality in Rural China
Marshallian Sources of Relatedness and Their Effects on Firm Survival and Subsequent Success in China
Relying on a large panel of Chinese firms, this article attempts to investigate the effects of technological relatedness on firm survival and subsequent success (e.g., profits and productivity). The results show that related establishments that colocate together outperform their counterparts located elsewhere, although it is not clear whether these findings are due to the presence of externalities or alternative explanations. To explore this issu…
Technological relatedness and asymmetrical firm productivity gains under market reforms in China
This article employs fixed effect quantile regression techniques to study the effects of technological relatedness on firm productivity and to investigate whether the size of those effects varies for low and high performing firms. Next, we consider how changes in the local industrial mix brought about by China’s market reforms influence the ability of different types of firms to benefit from technological-related spillovers. The findings highligh…
Agglomeration, (un)‐related variety and new firm survival in China
Chinese Minority Income Disparity in Urumqi
Participation in the informal economy has skyrocketed in China, coinciding with emerging labour markets that are segmented along lines of ethnicity, gender and migrant status. While a large body of literature examines migrant and female outcomes in the labour market, minority outcomes are much less understood in China. Information on minority employment in China's informal economy is even more sparse. To help fill this "minority" gap in China, th…
Labor Market Segmentation in Urumqi, Xinjiang
Labor market segmentation and migration are two phenomena that are dramatically reshaping the spatial, economic, and social relationships of many urban cities in both developed and developing countries. To this point, the bulk of Chinese literature falls within the context of area studies, without much effort to link Chinese migration and emerging labor market outcomes to larger global trends and discourse. This research attempts to link the body…
Migration and Inequality in Xinjiang
This paper seeks to contribute to the literature on Han-Uyghur inequality by comparing Han and Uyghur migrants in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Drawing from a survey of 30 sites of service activities and approximately 600 respondents in Urumqi, conducted in 2008, the authors argue that in addition to state-orchestrated migration that has been considered a source of Han-Uyghur inequality, it is also important to pay attention to the role of self-initiated mig…
