Does performance-based environmental regulation improve the quality of innovation responses in the auto industry? The moderating role of corporate governance effectiveness
Innovation is the primary driving force for high-quality development. How can we effectively leverage the role of environmental regulation to force enterprises to innovate and promote high-quality development? This paper breaks through the single dimension of environmental regulation and innovation, and examines the impacts of performance-based environmental regulation stringency (PBR) on high-quality and low-quality innovation responses (HQI and…
Recursive digital filter reveals critical role of subsurface flow in phosphorus export at the watershed scale
Accurate identification of phosphorus (P) transport pathways is essential for developing effective remediation strategies in watershed pollution control. This study evaluated the potential of recursive digital filtering to quantify P load flux via subsurface (pathway, using three widely adopted methods – Lyne-Hollick (LH), Chapman-Maxwell (CM), and Eckhardt (ECK) – in a subtropical watershed in China. During validation, the dual-parameter ECK met…

Water environment planning for the Xianghe Segment of China’s Grand Canal
China’s Grand Canal is one of the oldest man-made waterways in the world and has been historically viewed as the link connecting Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Provinces. Presently, under the rapidly urbanizing conditions, the water quality of the Grand Canal has been deteriorating seriously, resulting in great ecological threats to the local environment. New and comprehensive planning of the water environment on the Grand Canal is necessary and urg…
A global count of the extreme poor in 2012
The 2014 release of a new set of purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factors (PPPs) for 2011 has prompted a revision of the World Bank’s international poverty line. In revising the line, we have sought to minimize changes to the real purchasing power of the earlier $1.25 line (in 2005 PPPs), so as to preserve the integrity of the goalposts for international targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the World Bank’s twin go…
Impact of urbanization on nutrients and heavy metal pollution of Napahai Wetland, Shangri-La County, China
This study investigated the nutrients and heavy metal contents in water body and sediment of the Napahai Wetland during summer through fluorescence spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer analysis. Results indicated that most of the heavy metal contents in water body are derived from municipal sewage when the stream passes through the town center. The primary organic compounds in the water body of the Nachi River…
Application of Environmental Internet of Things on water quality management of urban scenic river
An online water quality management system (OWQMS), one of the main components of Environmental Internet of Things (EIoT), comprising online water quality monitoring subsystem, digital data transmission subsystem, and data processing parts, was established to manage an urban scenic river, Xinglin Bay, Xiamen, China. Three operational modes, including supplementing reclaimed domestic wastewater and fresh surface water from the Xinglin Bay to mainta…
More Relatively-Poor People in a Less Absolutely-Poor World
Relative deprivation, shame and social exclusion can matter to the welfare of people everywhere. The authors argue that such social effects on welfare call for a reconsideration of how we assess global poverty, but they do not support standard measures of relative poverty. The paper argues instead for using a weakly-relative measure as the upper-bound complement to the lower-bound provided by a standard absolute measure. New estimates of global p…
Weakly Relative Poverty
Prevailing measures of relative poverty are unchanged when all incomes grow or contract by the same proportion. This property stems from seemingly implausible assumptions about the disutility of relative deprivation and the cost of social inclusion. We propose ‘‘weakly relative’’ lines that relax these assumptions. On calibrating our measures to national poverty lines and survey data, we find that half the population of the developing world in 20…

The Developing World is Poorer than We Thought, But No Less Successful in the Fight Against Poverty
A new data set on national poverty lines is combined with new price data and almost 700 household surveys to estimate absolute poverty measures for the developing world. We find that 25% of the population lived in poverty in 2005, as judged by what “poverty” typically means in the world's poorest countries. This is higher than past estimates. Substantial overall progress is still indicated—the corresponding poverty rate was 52% in 1981—but progre…
Dollar a Day Revisited
The article presents the first major update of the international $1 a day poverty line, proposed in World Development Report 1990: Poverty for measuring absolute poverty by the standards of the world's poorest countries. In a new and more representative data set of national poverty lines, a marked economic gradient emerges only when consumption per person is above about $2.00 a day at 2005 purchasing power parity. Below this, the average poverty …
Weakly Relative Poverty
Prevailing measures of relative poverty put an implausibly high weight on relative deprivation, such that measured poverty does not fall when all incomes grow at the same rate. This stems from the (implicit) assumption in past measures that very poor people incur a negligible cost of social inclusion. That assumption is inconsistent with evidence on the social roles of certain private expenditures in poor settings and with data on national povert…

China Is Poorer Than We Thought, But No Less Successful In The Fight Against Poverty
Our previous estimates of global poverty measures revealed a substantial contraction in the incidence of poverty in China over the period 1981-2004; the latest update in Chen and Ravallion (2007) indicates that the proportion of China's population living below an international poverty line of $1.08/day at 1993 prices fell from 64% in 1981 to 10% in 2004; the number of poor by this measure fell by about 500 million. This international poverty line…

In a new data set of national poverty lines we find that a marked economic gradient only emerges when consumption per person is above about $2.00 a day at 2005 purchasing power parity. Below this, the average poverty line is $1.25, which we propose as the n…
The Developing World Is Poorer Than We Thought, But No Less Successful In The Fight Against Poverty
"The paper presents a major overhaul to the World Bank's past estimates of global poverty, incorporating new and better data. Extreme poverty-as judged by what "poverty" means in the world's poorest countries-is found to be more pervasive than we thought. Yet the data also provide robust evidence of continually declining poverty incidence and depth since the early 1980s. For 2005 we estimate that 1.4 billion people, or one quarter of the populati…
New Evidence On The Urbanization Of Global Poverty
The authors provide new evidence on the extent to which absolute poverty has urbanized in the developing world, and the role that population urbanization has played in overall poverty reduction. They find that one-quarter of the world's consumption poor live in urban areas and that the proportion has been rising over time. By fostering economic growth, urbanization helped reduce absolute poverty in the aggregate but did little for urban poverty. …
Absolute Poverty Measures For The Developing World, 1981-2004
The authors report new estimates of measures of absolute poverty for the developing world over 1981-2004. A clear trend decline in the percentage of people who are absolutely poor is evident, although with uneven progress across regions. They find more mixed success in reducing the total number of poor. Indeed, the developing world outside China has seen little or no sustained progress in reducing the number of poor, with rising poverty counts in…
New Evidence on the Urbanization of Global Poverty
One-quarter of the world's consumption poor live in urban areas, and that proportion has been rising over time. Over 1993-2002, the count of the "$1 a day" poor fell by 150 million in rural areas but rose by 50 million in urban areas. The poor have been urbanizing even more rapidly than the population as a whole. By fostering economic growth, urbanization helped reduce absolute poverty in the aggregate. There are marked regional differences: Lati…

How Have the World’s Poorest Fared Since the Early 1980s
A new assessment is made of the developing world's progress against poverty. By the frugal $1 a day standard there were 1.1 billion poor people in 2001-almost 400 million fewer than 20 years earlier. During that period the number of poor people declined by more than 400 million in China, though half the decline was in the early 1980s and the number outside China rose slightly. At the same time the number of people in the world living on less than…

What Can New Survey Data Tell Us about Recent Changes in Distribution and Poverty
It has been claimed that in recent times the poor have lost ground, both relatively and absolutely, even when average levels of living have risen. This article tests that claim using household surveys for 67 developing and transitional economies over 1981–94. It finds that changes in inequality and polarization were uncorrelated with changes in average living standards. Distribution improved as often as it worsened in growing economies, and negat…

How Did the World's Poorest Fare in the 1990s
August 2000 - Between 1987 and 1998, the incidence of poverty fell in Asia and the Middle East and North Africa, changed little in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, and rose in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Too little economic growth in the poorest countries and persistent inequalities (in income and other measures) are the main reasons for the disappointing rate of poverty reduction. Drawing on data from 265 national sample surveys spanni…
China’s Growth and Poverty Reduction
The authors investigate recent rends in poverty, and inequality in China, decomposing data on poverty reduction to see who has benefited most from China's economic growth. They find that, by several measures, poverty declined significantly in the 1990s, across a wide range of poverty lines, except that a slight slowdown in China's export, and economic growth in 1997-99 might have hurt the poor. There was a slight increase in the poverty headcount…
How Have the World's Poorest Fared since the Early 1980s?
Chen and Ravallion present new estimates of the extent of the developing world's progress against poverty. By the frugal $1 a day standard, they find that there were 1.1 billion poor in 2001 - almost 400 million fewer than 20 years earlier. Over the same period, the number of poor declined by more than 400 million in China, though half of this decline was in the first few years of the 1980s. The number of poor outside China rose slightly over the…
