Mechanistic evidence shows these impacts operate through strengthened vocational skills and expanded social networks. Moreover, GVT disproportionately benefits low-educated workers, further narrowing their employment gap relative to high-educated groups. This differential effectiveness positions GVT as a backstop protection mechanism in labor market stratification. Our findings underscore the necessity of developing precision training systems with modular skill certifications and network-building components. Policy designs should prioritize adaptable curricula for low-educated cohorts to maximize GVT's equalizing potential during China's economic transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102031"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933729","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 a structural gravity model estimated via Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML), the study analyses both exports and imports, disaggregated by stages of processing. It draws on bilateral trade data from CEPII and WITS and migrant stock data from the United Nations (1990–2020). Contrary to prior studies, the results do not support a pro-export effect of emigrants from either country at the aggregate level, suggesting earlier findings may reflect methodological biases. However, Indian emigrants are positively associated with exports of consumer and capital goods, while Chinese emigrants show no significant effects across categories. Disaggregation by destination reveals that emigrants in developed countries are more strongly linked to trade-substituting dynamics, potentially reflecting roles in production relocation or import substitution. In contrast, Indian emigrants in developing destinations appear more pro-trade, operating through preference and information channels that ease access to foreign markets and technologies. The null aggregate effects underscore the importance of methodological rigor and suggest a need for targeted policy efforts to harness emigrant networks more effectively. Disaggregated evidence offers more nuanced insights to guide such strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102028"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144913029","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 panel data from 2009 to 2022, we classified Indonesia’s 32 provinces as urban or rural areas to analyze whether increased internet usage impacts poverty alleviation differently between these regions. Poverty alleviation in Indonesia was directly correlated with rising internet usage. However, this alleviation is situated primarily in urban areas. This finding aligns closely with the predictions of our model. Internet penetration is near saturation in urban areas, where the industrial sector dominates, limiting its overall effect. Conversely, in rural areas, where the agricultural sector is more prevalent and there remains significant capacity for Internet penetration, increased Internet usage is expected to impact poverty reduction substantially. These results suggest that, particularly in provinces with low urbanization rates, the expansion of Internet infrastructure can serve as an effective tool for poverty alleviation policies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"100 ","pages":"Article 102024"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144893382","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}

A country whose government fails to respect external debt sustainability would eventually default on its external debt. But in the case of default the penalty is the inability to borrow in international markets, and hence the cost of defaulting could be extremely high. The paper emphasizes the importance of having a functioning external debt governance system that will reduce the probability of explosive debt trajectories over time requiring solutions to the following three issues. First, in policy circles minds should be clear about the importance of achieving sustainability of external debt. Second, policy makers have to agree on the way to attain external debt sustainability. Based on empirical analysis, the paper recommends implementing legal reforms, reducing inflation, and devaluing when necessary the real exchange rate. Finally, the country needs to find a way to translate the concept of external debt sustainability into policy technicality. In particular, such a translation requires the development of an institution that when established will enable the country to avoid facing external debt problems over time. The paper proposes the creation of an independent public advisory body, the External Debt Council, equipped with adequate resources to ensure sustainable debt management, and building and sustaining social consensus in the society on the achievement of external debt sustainability that will bind not only the officials in the present government but also the officials in future governments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102020"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145049591","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}
