Digital Economy, Financial Inclusion and Inclusive Growth

This paper represents an early attempt to investigate whether digital finance driven by the internet revolution helps promote inclusive growth in China.We match the Index of Digital Financial Inclusion,which measures digital finance development in China,with data of the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS),which provide representative household survey data in China.Firstly,based on sub-sample empirical analysis,we find that digital finance has helped increase household income,especially rural household income,in China.Thus,digital finance is conducive to inclusive growth in China by narrowing regional and urban-rural gaps.Secondly,we examine how digital finance spurs inclusive growth in China by bringing rural households equal access to entrepreneurship opportunities.Lastly,we uncover how digital finance interacts with physical capital and social capital in promoting entrepreneurship,concluding that households with less physical or social capital had bene fited more,which is also conducive to inclusive growth.

Rural Infrastructure and China's Inclusive Growth

This paper for the first time proposes an empirical framework for inclusive growth, under which policy :s-efficiency and distributive impacts can both be assessed. This paper applies this framework to China :s-rural infrastructure and a large sample of individual-level data, providing estimates of growth and distributive impacts of physical infrastructures of telephone and tap water in rural China. They all are found to promote rural income growth, helping narrow the rural-urban gap in China. More importantly, the poorer gained more than the richer from these infrastructures, implying benign distributive effects. This paper sheds light on the positive and important role in which infrastructure plays to promote inclusive growth in rural China.

GROWTH KINETICS OF SINGLE INCLUSION PARTICLE IN MOLTEN MELTS

On the basis of the single-particle framework, a new theory on inclusion growth in metallurgical melts is developed to study the kinetics of inclusion growth on account of reaction and collision. The studies show that the early growth of inclusion depends on reaction growth and Brawnian motion collision, and where the former is decisive, the late growth depends on turbulence collision and Stokes＇ collision, and where the former is dominant; collision growth is very quick during the smelting process, lessened in the refining process, but nearly negligible in the continuous casting process.

The relationship between energy consumption and economic growth and the development strategy of a low-carbon economy in Kazakhstan

Fossil energy is the material basis of human survival, economic development and social progress. The relationship between energy consumption and economic growth is becoming increasingly close. However, energy consumption is the major source of greenhouse gases, which can significantly affect the balance of the global ecosystem. It has become the common goal of countries worldwide to address climate change, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and implement sustainable development strategies. In this study, we applied an approximate relationship analysis, a decoupling relationship analysis, and a trend analysis to explore the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth using data from Kazakhstan for the period of 1993-2010. The results demonstrated： （1） the total energy consumption and GDP in Kazakhstan showed a ＂U＂-type curve from 1993 to 2010. This curve was observed because 1993-1999 was a period during which Kazakhstan transitioned from a republic to an independent country and experienced a difficult transition from a planned to a market economy. Then, the economic system became more stable and the industrial production increased rapidly because of the effective financial, monetary and industrial policy support from 2000 to 2010. （2） The relationships between energy con- sumption and carbon emissions, economic growth and energy exports were linked; the carbon emissions were mainly derived from energy consumption, and the dependence of economic growth on energy exports gradually increased from 1993 to 2010. Before 2000, the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth was in a recessional decoupling state because of the economic recession. After 2000, this relationship was in strong and weak decoupling states because the international crude oil prices rose and energy exports increased greatly year by year. （3） It is forecasted that Kazakhstan cannot achieve its goal of energy consumption by 2020. Therefore, a low-carbon economy is the best strategic choice to address climate change from a global perspective in Kazakhstan. Thus, we proposed strategies including the improvement of the energy consumption structure, the development of new energy and renewable energy, the use of cleaner production technologies, the adjustment and optimization of the industrial structure, and the expansion of forest areas.

Coupling and coordination relationship of tourism inclusive green growth system:Evidence from Shandong Province

Sustainable growth is a prerequisite for high-quality development,and inclusive green growth is regarded as an important way to realize sustainable growth.This paper constructs a tourism inclusive green growth index(IGGI)system based on the 2018 Asian Development Bank IGGI.Using Shandong Province from 2017 to 2019,the entropy weight method is utilized to explore the degree of coupling and coordination among the subsystems of tourism inclusive green growth.The study shows that:(1)the tourism IGGI continues to grow;(2)in the tourism inclusive green growth system,the social equity subsystem shows a trend of steady improvement;and(3)in the system,there is a slight discordance between the economic growth subsystem and the environmental sustainability subsystem.The study aims to provide the scientific basis for the high-quality development of tourism and theoretical support for the field of tourism and environmental sustainability.

数字服务贸易对开放视角包容性增长的影响研究

选取2005—2019年46个国家和地区面板数据,考察数字服务贸易对开放视角包容性增长的影响。研究表明,数字服务贸易通过就业促进效应和创新效应,显著促进了国内包容性增长。然而,数字服务贸易将通过知识产权资本化效应阻碍国家间包容性增长。研究还发现,数字服务贸易的进出口对包容性增长产生异质性影响,而数字基础设施水平在数字服务贸易对包容性增长影响中起调节作用。研究结果对数字服务贸易与包容性增长的相关研究进行了补充和完善,为制定更加开放和共赢的数字服务贸易政策,构建包容性的全球贸易体系,推动共同富裕提供了重要依据。
