More concretely, we ask (1) to what extent are rural people affected by crime? (2) What factors determine rural crime victimization? And (3) what are the impacts of crime victimization on welfare of rural households? We use the routine activity approach as the theoretical framework and apply different logit models to identify determinants of crime victimization. We find that 5.46% of the rural households have been victimized, mainly by theft, over the last 12 months, some of them even more than once. Living in a rural region with higher levels of inequality is positively correlated with the likelihood of theft victimization. Households with higher levels of crop commercialization are associated with a higher victimization risk, while households with more livestock and being more specialized in specific livestock species are associated with a lower risk. Moreover, past victimization and exposure to weather shocks are positively associated with the likelihood of being affected by crime. With respect to the impacts, we use the heteroscedasticity-based instrumental variable approach to account for endogeneity and find highly significant negative effects of agricultural theft victimization on food consumption and child health outcomes. We conclude that rural crime requires attention although overall incidence is low in rural Thailand and Vietnam. Guardianship should be promoted, especially in times of weather shocks. Finally, reducing inequality helps preventing theft.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1049007824000071/pdfft?md5=6febda5326cca9c74ca74e475d543d50&pid=1-s2.0-S1049007824000071-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139634789","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}

Using employer-employee matching survey data from the manufacturing sector in Guangdong Province, this paper found that production automation upgrades significantly increase working hours. The findings remain robust even after dealing with endogeneity issues. A plausible explanation is that improved general-purpose technology integrated into the production system will damage employees' unique talents by \"deskilling\". The heterogeneity analysis shows that labor degradation caused by technological change can be effectively mitigated by labor union protection and the accumulation of workers' human capital. Furthermore, production automation upgrades will probably change the way wages are paid, with less use of the piece-rate system. Although workers may receive some wage compensation for overwork, production automation upgrades may have unfavorable consequences (such as mental health, etc.). This study sheds light on how shop floor workers perform their jobs in the face of the wave of automation, offering fresh policy insights for promoting decent work and achieving inclusive growth.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139634699","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}

We argue that digital finance usage impacts resident’s income inequality both directly and indirectly. To examine the impact of digital financial use on resident’s income inequality and explore transmission mechanisms, including differences across regions, occupations, work types, and education levels, we employ ordinary least squares. Our results reveal that digital payments, digital money management, digital funds, and credit card usage have a positive mitigating effect on resident’s income inequality. Digital financial services have a significant positive impact on resident’s income inequality in southern, northern, coastal, and inland regions. Among purely agricultural farmers, digital payments, digital money management, and credit cards' effects are more pronounced than purely non-agricultural farmers. The use of digital financial also reduces resident’s income inequality among different work types, including institutional, state-owned, self-employed, and private enterprise. Family entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial frequency, and working outside the home are important channels through which digital financial services mitigate resident’s income inequality. Digital payments and credit cards reduce resident’s wage income inequality, while digital money management and digital funds are effective in reducing resident’s property income inequality.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139436106","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}

Research shows that the restructuring of global value chain is conducive to the optimization of China-EU export product structure, and has a stronger effect on high-tech industries. Among them, the labor cost-driven global value chain restructuring is not conducive to the upgrading of China-EU export product structure, while the technological progress-driven global value chain restructuring is helpful to the upgrading of the product structure of China-EU exports. Further research finds that the global value chain restructuring driven by the US trade protection policy is conducive to the upgrading of China-EU export product structure. The research of this paper is helpful for China to strengthen China-EU cooperation and upgrade export trade structure in the new wave of global value chain restructuring. This paper can provide a possible path for China and other developing countries to explore high-quality economic development and provide relevant reference value for policy formulation related to the establishment of long-term trade cooperation with the EU.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139457639","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}
