It analyzes real estate strategies in Yubei District and the development of Liangjiang New Area over the past decade. The study situates green gentrification within Chinese landscape aesthetics and state-led ecological civilization discourse, revealing how these frameworks enable the spatial and temporal reorganization of global capital in the locale. Using multimodal discourse analysis, supplemented by ethnographic and secondary data, the paper highlights non-Western perspectives on gentrification and uneven urban development. By approaching the locale with care, the analysis emphasizes the epistemological embeddedness of local gentrification processes within broader power structures and calls for decolonial approaches to urban studies. The research contributes to understanding how rapid, top-down urbanization in autocratic governance regimes shapes material and discursive transformations in peripheral green areas.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46525,"journal":{"name":"Developing Economies","volume":"64 1","pages":"22-39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147280079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main findings suggest that the D-SIBs responded to the D-SIB capital buffer differently, depending on the relative size of the portfolios with higher risk weights. Specifically, the D-SIB with the highest proportion of business loans in its portfolio decreased lending growth more than the other two D-SIBs, whereas the D-SIB with the highest proportion of retail loans did not significantly decrease lending growth. In addition, the state-owned commercial bank behaved differently from other banks such that synthetic controls cannot be created to replicate the unique behavior. While this study finds no significant effects on capital and risk-weighted assets in the short run, it cannot rule out the possibility of the D-SIBs raising more capital in the longer run.</p>","PeriodicalId":46525,"journal":{"name":"Developing Economies","volume":"63 3","pages":"225-261"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144782818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
