China officially launched the electricity sector’s national carbon emissions trading market in 2021, making it the world’s largest compliance carbon market. In contrast to the cap-and-trade (C&T) system prevalent in other economies, China’s national carbon market employs a rate-based mechanism that implicitly subsidizes the output of regulated entities; however, is it effective? This study uses a market-design theoretical framework to explore whether China’s national carbon market functions effectively and, more critically, what leads to its (slight) underperformance. We discover that policy design, policy conflicts, policy uncertainty, inexperienced market regulation, and excessive or inappropriate government intervention are the primary constraints on this emerging market, resulting in shrinking market thickness, congested market transactions, and lack of safety. For China to establish a better national carbon market, stronger market-oriented rules, appropriate market regulation, improved policy coordination, and greater electricity market reforms are required.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43570644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We select two top-emitting emerging economies, China and India, as our case studies. Considering structural, entrepreneurial, ideational, and exemplary leadership based on the leadership theory, we analyze the two countries’ international and domestic positions in climate change mitigation after each became active climate action taker (i.e. during 2008–2021). We further rely on interest-based and norm-based approaches to explore the driving factors of their leading positions. We conclude that although China is generally more inclined to take the leading position, China and India currently both exert substantive leadership, especially prevalent in recent international climate negotiation rounds. China and India’s consistency of international and domestic leadership evolves via different paths. China initially focused more on international rather than domestic leadership positions (symbolic leader), while India initially took the opposite approach (pioneer). An alignment between international and domestic leadership is found in both countries in more recent years, making both countries substantive leaders. Compared with the interest-based approach, the norm-based approach has greater explanatory power for the two countries’ leading position.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48968647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on panel data from 224 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2018, this paper examined the impact of the characteristics of officials on environmental pollution governance using a fixed-effect model. The empirical results demonstrate an incentive for officials to reduce pollution emissions and improve environmental protection when their native place coincides with the province where they work. The reverse incentive occurs when their native place coincides with the prefecture-level city where they work. Given the fact that eco-policy is the transmission mechanism, a more reasonable assessment system should pay more attention to officials’ characteristics, such as younger female officials are more likely to implement environmental policies, party school education may not be helpful for pollution governance, education level, professional background and working experience has little correlation with environment. Besides, a significant mediating effect shows that officials with hometown identity are encouraged to do more in environmental protection. An official incentive framework on ‘working effort’ should be employed to enhance the effectiveness of environmental governance.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44477376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To better exploit policy transparency, this study examined how the usability of policy transparency promotes citizen compliance, and the role of perceived benefit and descriptive social norms in this mechanism. The results of an online survey experiment conducted in the urban renewal policy domain revealed that, in the implementation of the house expropriation policy, easy-to-understand policy transparency encourages citizen compliance better, since it promotes more perceived benefits. Furthermore, descriptive social norms were found to influence the way perceived benefits promote citizen compliance; more in detail, negative norms were found to increase, and positive norms to decrease, the role of perceived benefit, eventually influencing the effectiveness of policy transparency. This research is a breakthrough for the effectiveness of policy transparency, emphasizing the role of perceived benefit and descriptive social norms in policy compliance.","PeriodicalId":45091,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Governance","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45788046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
