In terms of per capita GDP, China now is an upper-middle income country. According to the World Bank, China’s per capita GDP, measured in current U.S. dollars, increased from $1,274 in 2003 to $6,091 in 2012 and China’s ranking moved from 125 in 2003 up to 79 in 2012 (World Bank, 2014). Similar to many other middle-income countries, China faces significant challenges, including income inequality, regional disparity, rural-urban divide, food safety, environmental pollution, urban congestion, political corruption, and social disorder (Lu, 2011). Therefore, it is important for scholars to study the new challenges and provide insightful policy recommendations for China’s future development. This special issue collects five articles that focus on China’s income inequality, food safety, urban congestion, intellectual property right protection, and China’s transformation. The first article, “Empirical Analysis on the Marketization Process and the Urban Resident’s Income Gap in China,” by Heng Liu and Zhihong Zhao, examined the influence of marketization on income disparity. The marketization process in each province is measured by the market index from 1997 to 2009, developed by Fan, Wang, and Zhu (2011). Income disparity is measured by the Gini coefficient of urban residents’ income. The authors argued that China’s economic growth benefits from market-oriented reform but the income gap runs parallel with market-oriented reform. Therefore, it is important to understand the relationship between the marketization process and the income gap. Using data from 1997 to 2010, the paper found that China’s Gini coefficient of urban resident income increased from 0.22 to 0.31, a growth rate of over 42 percent. If rural residents were included, the Gini coefficient would become much larger. The paper concluded that the","PeriodicalId":45785,"journal":{"name":"CHINESE ECONOMY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10971475.2015.993174","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59667648","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 influences that different modes and aspects of the marketization process have on the income gap have been theoretically analyzed in this article. From the empirical aspect, the statistical yearbook data of various provinces are used to calculate the Gini coefficient of urban residents’ disposable incomes from 1997 to 2010, and then to investigate the effects of the marketization process and other factors on the income gap. The empirical results confirm the theoretical hypothesis: The overall effect of marketization is to narrow the income gap significantly. The empirical analysis also shows that the main reasons for China’s increasingly expanding income gap lie in the promotion of education and in insufficient employment opportunities. This indicates that the human capital of the employed and market risk have become crucial factors affecting China’s income distribution. The influence of the aging population structure transition, economic growth, and other factors impacting the income gap is investigated. Corresponding policy recommendations on how to narrow the income gap are proposed.","PeriodicalId":45785,"journal":{"name":"CHINESE ECONOMY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10971475.2015.993180","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59667665","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}

Severe pork contaminations have caused the loss of 1,700 lives, weakened consumer confidence, and plagued China’s already inefficient pork supply system. This study examines Chinese consumers’ attitudes toward the government-issued Quality and Safety Certificate (the QS label). We applied a three-stage adoption framework and focused on the impact of self-perceived opinion leadership, pork-related health risk knowledge, consumption frequency, retailers visited, price concerns, and demographic factors related to the awareness, use, and valuation of the QS label. Results from a univariate profit model show that 1) opinion leadership status is the only factor that positively affects all three stages of adoption; 2) pork health risk knowledge only contributes to the second stage of how the label is used; 3) education and spouse participation in decision making positively affects the awareness of the label; and 4) frequent pork consumers tend to perceive the label as useful. The results suggest that, due to the increased awareness and improved acceptance of labeled pork by more knowledgeable consumers, private firms and the government stand to benefit from improvements in comprehensive pork safety control in China.","PeriodicalId":45785,"journal":{"name":"CHINESE ECONOMY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10971475.2015.993182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59667733","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}
