Secondly, it summarizes the several features and the move trends of China narrow and broad money multipliers and their structure factors. Thirdly, the paper empirically analyzes how and what degree the each structure factor affects China narrow and broad money multipliers holding everything else constant. At last two important conclusions are got, that is, the required reserve ratio is the most associated with China money multipliers and the saving deposit ratio is more associated with that, the required reserve ratio and the interest rates can be used as the ways of affecting money aggregate by the People's Bank of China.展开更多

We identified national-scale NEP (net ecosystem production) changes for conversions to and from crop, and land in frequent conversion among forest, wetland, pasture and rangeland. The trend showed an increase in the margins of the Corn Belt states and coincided with land conversion from previous non-cropland to cropland in the United States. This research will not only improve the engineering understanding of carbon dioxide removal options involving the terrestrial biosphere, but will also inform decision-making in the carbon emission impacts. Therefore, it will provide a spatio-temporal reference for analyzing the national-level carbon exchange systems in the United States.展开更多
