Nearshoring, defined in this paper at the macroeconomic level as a production process of a region which uses again a greater share of foreign inputs produced by neighboring EU regions, appears to be an effective process for preserving the benefits of global production while simultaneously reducing the risks of supply chain disruptions inherent to long-distance offshoring. However, understanding its macroeconomic impact is complex, especially at the regional level. Thanks to an operational definition of nearshoring regions, the study identifies nearshoring regions in Europe and examines the growth premium that these regions gain from this form of GVCs reorganisation using interregional IO trade data. Results are clear. Benefits in terms of growth only arise in those nearshoring regions able to impose favorable terms-of-trade, through command-and-control functions. The geographical selectivity of growth premium from nearshoring risks to exacerbate interregional inequalities.</p>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/grow.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An Analysis on the Land-Expropriation Kuznets Curve","authors":"Yang Liu, Siliang Wang","doi":"10.1111/grow.70063","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/grow.70063","url":null,"abstract":"<div>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Although the growth in developing countries have always been accompanied by large-scale land expropriation, whether there is a standard relationship between the scale of land expropriation and the stage of economic development remains unclear. This paper aims to explore the practice of land expropriation in China, and while there are polarized views around its role in economic growth, inter-provincial differences also mean that it is an excellent sample for clarifying the relationship. By exploring the growth coalition consisting of local bureaucracies, central government and peasants within the land-centered development model, the possible inverted U-shaped trend of land expropriation scale with economic development is theoretically analyzed, from which hypotheses on the Land-expropriation Kuznets Curve (LKC) are proposed. Further, using Chinese provincial panel data, the results not only show the invert-U shaped relationship between economic development and land expropriation and its regional heterogeneity, but also identify four determinants of dependence on land expropriation: internal demands of local bureaucracies to advance urban infrastructure, real estate and manufacturing sectors, horizontal competition among local bureaucracies, vertical supervision by the central government, and external forces from peasants. These conditions combine to expand the scale of land expropriation in the less developed period, leading to the phenomenon of land expropriation dependence. However, with the transformation of China's economic growth and development model, changes in above-mentioned various conditions have made it possible to reduce land expropriation dependence, and the reduction typically occurs when GDP per capita exceeds 50,000 RMB. This paper provides a new perspective for understanding China's land-centered development story based on the Growth Machine Theory and generates policy implications for the land management practices in other developing countries.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145271860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to introduce the <i>Welfare-Based SWB</i> approach to the literature by expanding the classical Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis with the social welfare dimension. SWB is considered in this study to be a social reflection and indirect measure of economic growth, which is the core determinant in the classical EKC hypothesis. The second-generation cointegration test, the Durbin-Hausman, and AMG long-term forecasting methods were used in this context. According to the empirical findings, SWB and digitalization increase carbon emissions, while tourism revenues and renewable energy consumption reduce emissions. The findings indicate that the classical EKC hypothesis is not confirmed and, similarly, an increase in social welfare (SWB) does not automatically lead to environmental improvement. Therefore, policymakers should develop social policies that will increase environmental sensitivity along with an increase in welfare.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145223841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most cases, this churning of more decentralized units does not go without contestation, with critics arguing that they are not done in the true spirit of decentralization but rather a political gesture to palliate constituents and increase popularity among seemingly under-represented groups. Even though studies have attempted to study the impacts of proliferation, we observe a huge swing toward the newly created administrative units, with few studies dedicated to the impacts of proliferation on the parent unit from which the split occurred. In this study, we look at the impact of splitting of districts on the Internal Revenue Generation performance of the parent district (split from) in Ghana. Using year-on-year inflation-adjusted Internally Generated Fund (IGF) for the period 2014–2022, we employed a Difference-in-Differences (DiD) research design, which was operationalized as an Ordinary Least Squares model with robust standard errors. The results show that holding other factors constant, the splitting of the districts in 2018 resulted in an increase in internal revenue generation performance (<i>p</i> < 0.05). We argue that the desire to meet pre-split revenue targets is among the key driving factors. Our results challenge existing notions that administrative unit proliferation is an entirely political activity with no positive recourse to the fiscal potential of the parent unit. Given that this study is only the first in the Ghanaian context, we believe deeply contextual studies are further needed to enhance understanding of the factors that could underline revenue improvements.</p>","PeriodicalId":47545,"journal":{"name":"Growth and Change","volume":"56 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/grow.70058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145224158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
