This study examines the impact of China’s latest land titling programme (LTP), which aimed to increase land tenure security by issuing certificates after measuring and registering agricultural land across rural households. Using nationally representative household-level data, we employ a triple difference approach (comparing households with land endowment to those without) and find that, in general, the LTP exerts a significantly positive effect on rural households’ migration for non-farm work. We further observe that such influences on migration are largely affected by regional differences and the sectoral composition. Additionally, transportation construction and rising housing prices do not significantly affect the policy effectiveness, while government expenditure for people’s livelihood is critical to the LTP's effectiveness, though the effects vary across distinct categories of livelihood expenditure: social security and employment, education, and healthcare. Finally, the regional variations in policy effect can be attributed to the relative strength of two countervailing mechanisms: the “labour absorption effect” and the “migration promotion effect”—differences driven by sectoral disparities across regions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102036"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060284","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":"2025-12-01","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}

This study employs individual-level survey data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and robot data from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) to examine the influence of robot adoption on the mental health of the working-age population in China. Using a Bartik instrument variable constructed from foreign industry-level robot data, we find that robot adoption increases individual psychological depression levels. Further investigations illuminate that robot adoption adversely affects individual mental health by reducing current family income, exacerbating family income inequality, and lowering family expectations for future income. Furthermore, our findings indicate that the effects are stronger among men, individuals with lower education levels, manufacturing workers, migrants, and residents of large cities who have greater exposure to robots, as well as prime-age individuals, those with lower household economic conditions, and married individuals who face higher economic pressures. Our study highlights the need to enhance career transition support and social security systems to mitigate the hidden mental health cost of automation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102078"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145578543","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}

Based on the quasi-natural experiment of the Rural E-Commerce Demonstration County (REDC) program, the study uses the county-level data from China (2000–2020), and employs a time-varying DID method combined with machine learning techniques to explore the impact of rural e-commerce on industrial structure transformation. The findings indicate that the REDC program significantly fosters industrial upgrading, with varying effects across regions due to differences in resource endowments and development levels. Mechanism analysis suggests that rural e-commerce drives industrial upgrading through three primary channels: labor reallocation, dynamic adjustment of entrepreneurial resources, and industrial agglomeration. Further analysis indicates that rural e-commerce also plays a role in promoting coordinated industrial development. Utilizing machine learning methods, we identify a nonlinear relationship between rural e-commerce and industrial upgrading, which unfolds in three distinct stages: initial adaptation, rapid upgrading, and stable development. This paper proposes that differentiated e-commerce programs, smooth factor mobility systems, and industrial planning will assist rural areas in adapting to the e-commerce context and thereby facilitate rural economic transformation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47583,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Economics","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 102034"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145004934","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}
