We find that non-audited firms experience a significant increase in their effective income tax burden when other firms located in the same road-level area are audited, providing clear evidence of localized enforcement spillovers. Further analysis shows that the magnitude of these spillovers is jointly shaped by the intensity of enforcement information and firms' receptiveness to that information. Spillover effects are stronger when enforcement information is more concentrated, when firms operate in similar industries, and when the enforcing authority has greater deterrent credibility. They are also more pronounced among larger and more established firms, as well as in areas with higher population density and lower language diversity, where information transmission is more efficient. Moreover, firms respond to heightened perceived enforcement risk by adjusting accounting items that typically receive greater audit attention, including entertainment expenses, training expenditures, tax-exempt income, and subsidy income. Overall, the study identifies the mechanisms through which tax enforcement generates spatial spillovers and provides empirical insights for improving enforcement targeting and tax administration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102126"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146038379","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 on smoking among this population has been limited. This study aims to examine the association between smoking and the health status of the Chinese elderly, utilizing the data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) from 2011 to 2020, with a secondary aim to analyze the potential impact of local tobacco control policies on smoking behaviors among this population. The results show that, despite survival biases, smoking was significantly associated with elevated risks of chronic lung diseases, coronary heart diseases, and kidney diseases, and lower level of self-assessed health status among the elderly. Additional analysis among those with a smoking history reveals a significant positive correlation between smoking intensity and certain chronic diseases (such as liver and stomach diseases). Analysis using the instrumental variable method indicates that the impact of local tobacco control policies on smoking behaviors among the Chinese elderly was not statistically significant, suggesting that current local tobacco control policies alone may not be able to significantly alter smoking behaviors among the Chinese elderly who smoke. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that there were significant sex, educational, urban-rural, and regional differences in the associations between the risk of chronic diseases and smoking intensity. Elderly individuals who were male; having lower educational levels; residing in rural areas, tobacco-growing regions, or eastern areas; having better access to medical resources; and living in areas with weaker tobacco control policies, were more likely to be associated with the negative health effects of smoking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102142"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147421532","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}

Using data from the 2014–2020 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), listed resume data, company hiring data, and multidimensional economic policy uncertainty indicators, we find that economic policy uncertainty significantly reduces job-hopping frequency among workers. When economic policy uncertainty increases by 1 standard deviation, the frequency of job hopping among workers decreases by 0.15 standard deviations. Sensitivity analysis, instrumental variables approach, and a series of robustness tests confirm the reliability of the estimation results. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that economic policy uncertainty reduces the job-hopping frequency of private enterprise employees, moderately educated workers, technical professionals, and production workers. Mechanism tests indicate that economic policy uncertainty primarily inhibits job hopping by increasing individual risk expectations and reducing firms’ hiring and layoff activities. Economic policy uncertainty decreases both the active job-hopping behavior of workers looking for new employment opportunities and the passive job-hopping behavior due to layoffs and other factors, further validating the mechanism of its influence. Finally, from both subjective and objective perspectives, we find that economic policy uncertainty reduces workers’ job match quality by suppressing their job-hopping behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102123"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145980351","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}

Climate change increases supply-side uncertainties in production processes; while monetary policy is a key policy tool that can either amplify or mitigate the impact of these shocks on the agricultural sector through financing conditions and input costs. Nevertheless, studies addressing the impact of climate shocks in conjunction with economic policy instruments remain limited; in particular, the simultaneous effects of climate change and monetary policy on agriculture have not been sufficiently analysed. This study examines the effects of climate change and monetary policy on agricultural production in the E7 countries during the period 2000–2022, aiming to fill this gap. Money supply represents monetary policy in the analysis, and a unique climate change index is created to reflect the multidimensional nature of climate change, going beyond single climate proxies. Control variables such as agricultural land, rural population, and renewable energy consumption were not overlooked. MMQR was used in the empirical analysis; the robustness of the results obtained was tested using FGLS and PCSE estimators. Furthermore, the causality relationships between the variables were assessed using the Dumitrescu–Hurlin panel causality test. The findings reveal that climate change negatively affects agricultural production; conversely, monetary expansion, agricultural land, rural population, and renewable energy consumption increase it. The results indicate the necessity of designing monetary policies in line with climate-resilient policies to strengthen agricultural production and ensure food security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"103 ","pages":"Article 102148"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147421549","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}
