This paper establishes an evaluation system to analyze the progress of the energy production revolution in China during 2016–2019. The results report that more than three-fourths of the indicators fulfill the process schedule by more than 80% in 2019. Specifically, the clean development and efficient utilization of coal is carried out significantly among the five major areas of the energy production revolution. However, China’s energy production revolution still faces challenges, such as insufficient technology innovation of power generation, weak consumption and storage capacity of clean energy, the outdated transaction management system of the energy market, the limited emergency capacity of the energy system, and the backward construction of an energy production intelligent system. Finally, policy implications for accelerating the energy production revolution are proposed.","PeriodicalId":45444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43196556","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}

Popular examples are credit card fraud, tax evasion, identity theft, insurance fraud, counterfeit, click fraud, anti-money laundering, and payment transaction fraud. In earlier research we defined fraud as an uncommon, well-considered, imperceptibly concealed, time-evolving, and carefully organized crime. Nowadays, fraud is typically tackled using state-of-the-art analytical techniques with many accompanying challenges. It is the purpose of this article to highlight twelve research topics (RTs) that we believe prioritize high on the agenda of contemporary fraud analytics models. We do this by reviewing fraud analytics from a data, model, performance, and deployment perspective.","PeriodicalId":45444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48262564","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}

{"title":"Carbon neutrality and socio-economic development","authors":"Z. Mi, Yuning Gao, Hua Liao","doi":"10.1080/14765284.2023.2182013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/14765284.2023.2182013","url":null,"abstract":"To achieve the 1.5°C goal, the world needs to reach carbon neutrality by the mid-century. The achievement of carbon neutrality not only relates to climate change mitigation, but also delivers unprecedented and tremendous changes to society in green economic growth, responsible consumer behaviours, human well-being, and health. This special issue originated from the China-UK Workshop on Climate Change Economics held by Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, Beijing Institute of Technology and Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction, University College London. This special issue serves as a platform for the researchers to have a discussion on the balance between socioeconomic targets and actions for decarbonization strategies. The papers in this SI cover topics on decarbonization of economic growth, transition in energy system, firms’ commitment to carbon neutrality, and the trends of carbon neutrality-related research in recent decades. China’s commitment to carbon neutrality is critical to the global efforts in climate change mitigation since it has been the world’s largest emitter since 2006. The achievement of carbon neutrality in China should be based on a thorough transition of the economic growth mode in the process of industrialisation and urbanisation. The old approaches of heavy investments in physical infrastructure, with a focus on manufacturing, high-carbon infrastructure and fossil fuel, need to be abandoned. By linking the 14 Five-Year Plan and carbon neutrality goal, Stern and Xie (2023) proposed a new growth story for China to shift from overexploitation of natural resources and the chase for material wealth to a multidimensional conception of human well-being, protection of natural resources, boost of sustainable technologies, and changes in consumer behaviour. Investment in sustainable growth and low-carbon innovations is vital to promote the structural transformation of industries. In achieving the carbon neutrality goal, energy transition is one of the most important approaches. By establishing an evaluation indicator system, Li et al. (2023) assessed the progress in the energy production revolution during 2015–2019 in China. Results indicate that the production revolution in the supply-side management of energy and clean development and the efficient utilization of coal are the most prominent aspects of revolution advancements. A slowdown of the energy production revolution in 2018 and 2019 is also shown. China’s energy system is facing some challenges, including insufficient technology innovation, weak consumption and storage capacity for clean energy, sluggish construction of the energy product standard system and transaction management system, the brittle cross-regional transmission of energy, and the backward construction of an energy production intelligent system. R&D investment in clean power generation technology, the establishment of intelligent energy production, supply, storage and marketing systems","PeriodicalId":45444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45458253","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}

By hand-collecting firm-level news and stock data, we conduct event studies as well as regression modelling studies. The results show that firms experience losses in market value from committing to being carbon neutral, and the decline in cumulative abnormal returns ranges from −2.09% to −1.21% across different event windows. However, we find better previous ESG performance and a higher level of carbon disclosure could mitigate adverse market reactions.

This paper first explains theoretically the mechanism of indirect horizontal spillovers from foreign-funded firms and matches China Industry Business Performance Data and the China Customs Dataset, then empirically analyzes the indirect horizontal spillover effects of China’s manufacturing FDI through upstream suppliers. The results show that China’s manufacturing FDI generates significant positive technology spillovers to local firms through an indirect horizontal mechanism; the vertical spillover effects of China’s manufacturing FDI are asymmetric; the indirect spillover effects are influenced by firm ownership, whether it trades or not, and firm size; and the indirect spillovers generated by FDI restrain the quality of products for exports by local firms in the intra-industry but significantly improve the quality of products for export of upstream suppliers through backward linkages.","PeriodicalId":45444,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chinese Economic and Business Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49072465","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}

The price bubbles in the NFT and DeFi markets are highly correlated with market hype and with more general cryptocurrency market uncertainty.
