Research on Financial Support for the New Types of Agricultural Management Entities from the Perspective of the Rural Revitalization Strategy

Both the escape from the predicament of traditional financial support in rural areas and the cultivation of new types of agricultural management entities underlie,at a micro level,the improvement of a new-type of agricultural management system,and offer an important guarantee for the implementation of a rural revitalization strategy.In reference to the demands of carrying out reform,activating factors,invigorating entities and stimulating markets during the implementation of this rural revitalization strategy,we are applying a financing preference theory that infers and analyzes the excessive preference for new-type agricultural management entities(family farms,specialized farmer cooperatives,specialized large family farms,and modern agricultural enterprises)regarding government subsidies(quasi-equity financing).Our analysis has identified crucial factors in the issue and predicts that government subsidies(quasi-equity financing)will crowd out financial support funding(quasi-debt financing),and we offer empirical proof obtained through statistical modeling.As our results indicate,financing costs,free cash flows,and the perceived income adequacy(PIA)of new-type agricultural management entities all have significant influence upon decision-making for debt financing by such entities.Therefore,with the concrete contents of the formulation of policies concerning the financial support for rural agricultural strategy,one not only needs to consider the further decrease of financing costs,but also should take into account both the designing of cash flow mechanism in the process of paying both principal and interest,and the improvement of bankruptcy rules for agricultural management entities to accelerate the transformation of family farms,specialized farmer cooperatives,and specialized large family farms,towards modern agricultural enterprises.Meanwhile,upgrades to the supply chains of the agriculture industry,improvements to the construction of the rural financial information system,building an accounting system that meets the requirements of the rural revitalization strategy,and giving full play to the policies for financial support,which assume an important role in activating factors and markets during the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy,are also anticipated.

Effect of financial support on reducing the incidence of catastrophic costs among tuberculosis-affected households in Indonesia:eight simulated scenarios

Background:The World Health Organization's End Tuberculosis Strategy states that no tuberculosis(TB)-affected households should endure catastrophic costs due to TB.To achieve this target,it is essential to provide adequate social protection.As only a few studies in many countries have evaluated social-protection programs to determine whether the target is being reached,we assessed the effect of financial support on reducing the incidence of catastrophic costs due to TB in Indonesia.Methods:From July to Septem ber 2016,we interviewed adult patients receiving treatment for TB in 19 primary health centres in urban,sub-urban and rural area of Indonesia,and those receiving multidrug-resistant(MDR)TB treatment in an Indonesian national referral hospital.Based on the needs assessment,we developed eight scenarios for financial support.We assessed the effect of each simulated scenario by measuring reductions in the incidence of catastrophic costs.Results:We analysed data of 282 TB and 64 MDR-TB patients.The incidences of catastrophic costs in affected households were 36 and 83%,respectively.Patients'primary needs for social protection were financial support to cover costs related to income loss,transportation,and food supplements.The optimum scenario,in which financial support would be provided for these three items,would reduce the respective incidences of catastrophic costs in TB and MDR-TB-affected households to 11 and 23%.The patients experiencing catastrophic costs in this scenario would,however,have to pay high rem aining costs(median of USD 910;[interquartile range(IQR)662]in the TB group,and USD 2613;[IQR 3442]in the MDR-TB group).Conclusions:Indonesia's current level of social protection is not sufficient to mitigate the socioeconom ic im pact of TB.Financial support for income loss,transportation costs,and food-supplem ent costs will substantially reduce the incidence of catastrophic costs,but financial support alone will not be sufficient to achieve the target of 0%TBaffected households facing catastrophic costs.This would require innovative social-protection policies and higher levels of dom estic and external funding.

Constructing a Chinese-Style Zero-Carbon Financial System: Theoretical Considerations and Policy Recommendations

The Chinese government's"dual carbon"commitment to carbon peaking and carbon neutrality in September 2020 indicates that China will promote green economy transition and achieve high-quality growth in line with the New Development Concept.Definitely,both China's economic and financial development will undergo a paradigm shift.This paper reviews the evolution of global finance's role in supporting environmental governance,climate change and sustainable development,and proposes that the time has come to develop zero-carbon finance which should be closely aligned with the""netzero emissions"requirement for achieving the global temperature target of the Paris Agreement.While the current policy frameworks for zero-carbon finance in major Western countries are useful references,they also have limitations.In order to build a Chinese-style zero-carbon financial system,China should integrate the experience of other countries and leverage both institutional advantages and green finance practices of own to the fullest extent possible.This paper goes into further detail about the concept of building a zerocarbon financial macro-management framework and a composite ecology of the zerocarbon financial market,and puts forward policy recommendations.The Chinese-style zero-carbon finance solution will also contribute to global carbon neutrality by enabling China to achieve carbon neutrality as soon as possible and providing countries with China's solutionas reference.

The Diversification of Children＇s Support for Their Parents in the Context of an Aging Society： Concepts and Behavior

China＇s aging society and the family-based model of basic aged care determine that children＇s support for their parents directly affects the standard of living of the majority of the aging population. Existing theories indicate that in this era of social transition, the implications of filial piety have shifted from the traditional emphasis on the parent- child generational relationship and children＇s duty to obey their parents to a dual mode in which family love coexists with the authority of the elders. Using data from the Chinese General Social Survey of 2006, we explore the ways in which the two basic dimensions of authoritarian filial piety and reciprocal filial piety connect with various types of filial behavior. The results of our multivariate linear model show that on average, authoritarian filial piety, which emphasizes authority relationships and children＇s duty, increases children＇s financial support for their parents, while reciprocal filial piety, stressing family love and generational equality, significantly increases children＇s emotional support for their parents. A comparison of the basic dimensions of filial piety shows that neither significantly increases children＇s physical support for their parents. Further analysis of the interaction effect indicates that the link between authoritarian filial piety and financial support is more significant among younger groups. In addition, for males, a marginally significant positive relation exists between authoritarian filial piety and physical support for their parents.

Does overcapacity prompt controlling shareholders to play a propping role for listed companies?

A major risk currently facing the Chinese economy is overcapacity,which affects the efficiency of social resource allocation(Xi et al.,2017;Huang et al.,2019).When a company is in crisis,the internal capital market often plays a propping role.This study approached this issue from the perspective of the controlling shareholder and examined whether controlling shareholders provide financial support to enterprises in industries with excess capacity.According to the data for China’s A-share listed companies from 2007 to2019,companies in industries with excess capacity received more financial support from controlling shareholders compared with those in non-overcapacity industries.Analysis of the mechanism revealed that state-owned enterprises and companies with relatively poor financial status received more financial support from controlling shareholders.This study also examined the economic consequences of such support and found that it is conducive to enhancing enterprise value.This study enriches the literature on overcapacity and internal capital markets by demonstrating that internal capital markets play a propping role for companies facing industry-level crises.This finding has both theoretical value and practical implications related to supply-side reform and capacity reduction.
