Although the investment-oriented development model for economic growth adopted by Chinese governments has generated spectacular results, risks of debt-financed urbanisation and have recently become evident in mounting local debts that are undermining financial system, triggering concerns with respect to governments’ indebtedness, stability sovereign risk China. In this paper, we portray uneven spatial temporal dynamics government debt China, examine ways which it is intertwined...
Recent studies have argued that regional diversification emerges as a path-dependent process. Developed countries industrialize do so first from core areas in an uneven industry space and more opportunities to jump new related industries sustain economic growth than developing peripheral areas. Can countries/regions further break these trajectories? Based on China's export data, we show regions can make such by investing extra-regional linkages internal innovation. The effects of two sets...
AbstractThe rise of China's export-oriented apparel industry since the 1990s has been driven largely by global sourcing practices intent on capturing cost advantages a development model predicated, in part, unskilled or semi-skilled migratory labour flows, linking western and central pools to coastal production sites. Until recently, dominance this fuelled growth low-wage employment regions provided few opportunities for economic social upgrading. Since early 2000s, factories have...
High-income countries often outsource material demands to poorer along with the associated environmental damage. This phenomenon can also occur within (large) countries, such as China, which was responsible for 24 30% of global footprint (MF) between 2007 and 2010. Understanding distribution development China's MF is hence critical resource efficiency circular economy ambitions globally. Here we present a comprehensive analysis at provincial sectoral levels. We combine provincial-level...
After a decade or more during which private codes to monitor supply chain and workplace standards have proliferated, recent years seen the re-emergence of state-based initiatives create oversight accountability across global value chains. In January 2012, California Transparency in Supply Chains Act (Senate Bill 657) (CTSCA) was enacted. The CTSCA requires that retailers manufacturers doing business California, with annual worldwide gross receipts $100 million more, must explicitly disclose...
Focusing on of the Chinese immigrants in apparel industry Prato, Italy, paper shows that emergence pronto moda (the Prato) is a unique response to rise fast fashion Europe. Bridging literature regionalization and value chain studies with transnational entrepreneurship economic geography, author competitiveness lies both production teams Prato networks across In particular, three lesser known dimensions are revealed. First, internal power asymmetry within helps stabilize potentially fluid but...
Using a firm–product-level data set on China's exports during the period 2000–11, we compare impacts of intra- and inter-firm knowledge spillovers emergence new, more sophisticated products at firm level. Empirical results indicate that diversification is dependent both spillovers, though effect former much greater. More importantly, intra-firm are one key source upgrading. In contrast, even have some negative upgrading in Chinese context, it contributes to diversification. We further...
Abstract Fintech has been an emergent crucial area for enhancing national competency and transforming the global financial landscape. Financial technological capabilities are two key factors influencing fintech development. This study seeks to clarify impacts of investigate their relationships. The data mainly originate from Orbis patent database depict pattern empirical findings demonstrate that both promote development, more important. As increase, positive effects weaken turn negative...
China's emergence as a key exporter to the world has relied on low-wage and unskilled or semi-skilled labor industrial clustering. The apparel industry exemplifies this export-oriented development model. Production employment have become heavily concentrated in coastal regions of east southeast China. With growth other sectors, prices, land costs, wages, competitive pressures all risen. This paper examines diverse trajectories firm relocation. As many studies driving mechanism relocation...
High-speed railway (HSR) network can significantly reduce the transport cost of people and facilitate interregional knowledge spillovers. It may thus affect regional industrial dynamics. By employing relatedness indicator, this article shows that dynamics is path dependent in China. further adopts several classical accessibility indicators to capture characteristics infrastructure Chinese cities HSR network. In response endogeneity issue, we design an instrumental variable based on historic...
While the impact of transport infrastructure on regional disparity has been widely examined, its effect intra-regional inequality received less attention. Based panel data at China’s prefecture-city level during 2007–2018, we adopt Difference-in-Differences model to investigate whether high-speed rail affects one type inequality, urban-rural income gap. The results show that operation widened gap by boosting agglomeration population, financial capital, and economic activities in urban areas...
