The last chapter of the book, Chapter 14, explores the sources of income inequality in rural China from 1994 to 2014. This study explains how rural dual structural transformation leads to an inverted-U curve after the 1980s. The rural duality declined gradually with the expansion of nonagricultural employment and income in Tianjin unlike Shandonh or other parts of China. In contrast, in most rural areas of China and Shandong, despite residents’ choice to work in township enterprises or to be migrant workers, their nonagricultural income contributes to improving the level of total income and bags inequality. The dual transformation will affect and change the sectoral labour force participation rate and the within-sector income inequality, which further influences the income inequality to go up or down. Rising inequality in income itself is not the only dimension of development, but it also has consequences for governments’ efforts to control poverty, sustain growth, and maintain social cohesion. Therefore, appropriate policy measures are the only treatment. This book has covered the current inequality scenario in Asia as a whole and also gives country case studies to understand the differentials and determinants of the rising inequality. It has data, measures, and recommendations to initiate appropriate policy, which can create equality of opportunity, equal access to public goods and services, and improve the quality of institutions and governance, which is very much needed across the region in the context of social cohesion. The book has highlighted that rising inequality exists due to unequal distribution of resource endowments, public infrastructure, and economic activities, and major reform is needed in the rural, education, and employment sectors to prevent this inequality from rising. It can be hoped that this volume will inform and initiate intense policy debates for tackling the challenges of rising inequality in Asia.","PeriodicalId":188097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economic Integration","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127225342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, this article reviews the development schemes in the subregion including GMS economic cooperation and the BRI. Next, it introduces the development of the transport infrastructure, including expressways and high-speed railways, connecting Kunming and Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR), Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam. Thereafter, it compares the total costs of the projects and how other GMS countries negotiate with China. Seeing the sections of the expressways and railways in Yunnan Province, the shares of some sections occupied by bridges and tunnels are higher than 20 per cent due to the mountainous land feature of Yunnan Province. On the other hand, the railway in Lao PDR passes through the mountainous areas, and they adopted higher specification as same as in Yunnan Province. Consequently, the debt-default risk of Lao PDR has increased. On the other hand, Thailand repeated tough negotiations with China and made efforts not to increase the total cost. The negotiations of Lao PDR and Thailand with China are illustrated in this article.

In the simulation analyses of cross-border power trading, charging only a tariff as a function of the distance transmitted as access costs appears to ignore the effect of a marginal change in demand or supply from consumers and generators, respectively, on the transmission grid. This, in turn, leads to a poor signal to the market, making suboptimal decisions by economic agents. This study aims to analyse how the locational marginal pricing (LMP) of transmission losses influences an optimal energy mix and energy trading in the ASEAN and derive policy implications for completing the APG. Energy trading with the LMP mechanism of transmission losses appears to provide benefits to the countries under the APG as the total cost of electricity generation declines when power trade increases among ASEAN countries. The underpinnings of positive results strongly suggest that ASEAN member countries seriously consider enhancing grid interconnection to realise the efficiency of power trading infrastructure.
