ecological development in China based on the theory and methodology of SENCE (social–economic–natu

The conclusions are as follows: consumption, investment and net exports all have influence on China's

actual output, among which, consumption makes a greater contribution to the economic growth than investment and net exports. In addition, by studying the time-varying effectiveness, we also notice that consumption has the most effectiveness on stimulating economic growth, while investment is the less and net exports is the least. Based on the above two theories, we put forward some suggestions how to promote China's economic growth continually.

Abstract

Coalbed methane (CBM) is a kind of unconventional natural gas. China has abundant CBM resource and its CBM industry is expected to prosper in the future. However, China ’s currently imperfect CBM industry policy still needs to be further improved to support the sustainable development of CBM industry. To provide recommendations for policy makers, economic evaluation is conducted to find out the overall economic viability of China ’s CBM resource and the factors with most impact on the economic viability of CBM resource. The results show that there is still about 42% of China ’s CBM resource

uneconomic to develop under current industry policy and that the three factors with most impact on the economic viability of CBM resource are CBM price, production rate and operating costs. And then, policy scenario analysis is conducted to test the validity of major policies and find out the impact of different policies under different scenarios on the profitability of CBM recourse. The results demonstrate that value-added tax (VAT) reimbursement policy, financial subsidy policy and corporate income tax exemption policy are effective to improve the economic viability of CBM recourse. According to these results, some pointed recommendations on CBM industry policy are put forward.

Abstract

The relativity between economic development and occupational accidents is a debated topic. Compared with the development courses of both economic development and occupational accidents in China during 1953–2008, this paper used statistic methods such as Granger causality test, cointegration test and impulse response function based on the vector autoregression model to investigate the relativity between economic development and occupational accidents in China from 1953 to 2008. Owing to fluctuation and growth scale characteristics of economic development, two dimensions including economic cycle and economic scale were divided. Results showed that there was no relationship between occupational accidents and economic scale during

1953–1978. Fatality rate per 105 workers was a conductive variable to gross domestic product per capita during 1979–2008. And economic cycle was an indicator to occupational accidents during 1979–2008. Variation of economic speed had important influence on occupational accidents in short term. Thus it is necessary to adjust Chinese occupational safety policy according to tempo variation of economic growth.

Abstract

This article uses data from the China Urban Labour Survey administered across 12 cities in 2005 to estimate the economic returns to speaking standard Mandarin among internal migrants in China's urban labour market. The article builds on studies that estimate the economic returns to international immigrants of being fluent in the major language of the destination country and studies that estimate the economic returns to proficiency in the national language among groups of people who speak a minority language. Importantly, we control for potential endogeneity bias in the estimates of the effect of language fluency on earnings. We find that for migrants as a whole, there are considerable economic returns to speaking standard Mandarin. We also find gender differences. While the coefficient on fluency in standard Mandarin is statistically significant and large for females, the coefficient on fluency is statistically insignificant for males. One possible explanation for this finding is that female migrant workers are engaged more in occupations which have greater contact with urban locals and hence the return to investment in language skills is higher.

Abstract

Carbon tax is an effective measure to build low-carbon economy and has

significant influences on economic growth. Using the panel data of 29

provinces from 1999 to 2008, we build a panel data model and adopt

Generalized Least Squares estimation (GLS) to analyze the impact of carbon

tax on economic growth in China. The results are as follows: the impact of

carbon tax on economic growth in China varies considerably between different

regions; carbon tax could stimulate economic growth of most eastern regions,

while can hinder some provinces’ in middle and western areas.

firms' total factor productivity using a panel of firm-level data from China. We estimate the returns to education by calculating the marginal productivity of workers of different education levels based

on estimates of the firm-level production function. We also estimate

how the education level of workers and CEO contributes to firms'

total factor productivity. Estimated marginal products are much

higher than wages, and the gap is larger for highly educated

workers. Our estimate shows that an additional year of schooling

raises marginal product by 30.1%, and that CEO's education

increases TFP for foreign-invested firms. Estimates vary

substantially across ownership classes, the effect of schooling on productivity being highest in foreign-invested firms. We infer that

market mechanisms contribute to a more efficient use of human

capital within firms.

Abstract

The global energy issues have stimulated increasing research interest in the linkages between the energy consumption and economic growth. As the biggest developing country, China has surpassed United States to be the world's largest energy consumption country. This paper examines the casuality between GDP and energy consumption by using updated China provincial panel data for the period 1985–2007 within a multivariate framework by adopting Pedroni's

panel methodology. The results show that cointegration is present between real GDP, energy consumption, the labor force, and real gross fixed capital. The results of Granger-causality test indicate the presence of Bi-directional causality between energy consumption and economic growth which supports the feed back hypothesis.Economic interpretations of the empirical results are also presented.
