In recent years, researchers have made progress in collecting and documenting China's influence through its financing of projects all over the world; however, most of that focus has been on either the Chinese financiers or the effect of Chinese financing on its recipients. In this paper, we focus instead on the network of non-Chinese financiers who facilitate Chinese development financing. To do this, we turn an existing dataset that documents Chinese development finance into a network dataset that allows us to display and analyse the structure of relationships between financiers and recipients of loans. Using the method of social network analysis, we identify non-Chinese financiers that act as brokers in the network, facilitating relationships for financiers and recipients of Chinese development finance. The results suggest that non-Chinese entities may be holding Chinese development financing together in ways that were previously not known. In particular, private commercial banks emerge as critical actors. Our results also suggest that the top non-Chinese brokers differ in how they use their brokerage power, with some top brokers playing a more active role and others playing a more passive role. Finally, the paper shows that social network analysis can be a valuable tool to uncover structural patterns in this dataset.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"37 4","pages":"1019-1029"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.3999","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from the 2021–2022 Harmonized Survey on Household Living Conditions were used to analyse the occupation status (i.e. multiple-income-generating activities and salaried work) of young heads of households in relation to their households' poverty level (i.e. absolute, subjective and relative). The estimates, derived using the Distributive Analysis Stata Package, probit method and propensity score matching, revealed that regardless of the type of poverty, engaging in multiple income-generating activities increases household poverty, whereas salaried work reduces it. Considering that most young individuals involved in multiple-income-generating activities are not salaried, economic policies targeting young people should focus on regularly adjusting the minimum wage according to the cost of living and encouraging young people's entrepreneurship by addressing the various challenges associated with it, including lack of funding and entrepreneurial training.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"37 4","pages":"989-1004"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this gap by investigating the impact of time constraints, encompassing both paid and unpaid work, on the Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index (MEPI) using data from the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS 7). Our findings indicate that households experiencing time constraints are more inclined to adopt clean energy fuels. A decomposition analysis of time constraints reveals that while those stemming from paid work encourage the adoption of clean energy fuels, those associated with unpaid work hinder it. This suggests that households prioritise clean energy when faced with time pressures related to paid employment. Our results hold across various estimation methods and withstand robustness checks using different time and energy poverty metrics. The adverse impact of time constraints on energy poverty is particularly pronounced in rural areas, male-headed households and communities with accessible roads. We posit that household income serves as a key mechanism through which time constraints influence energy poverty.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"37 4","pages":"1005-1018"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this trust is often misplaced in Mexico, where pharmacists frequently dispense dangerous fentanyl-based counterfeits without prescription orders and on-demand. The convergence of four trends occurring in Mexico—the influx of international tourists seeking pharmaceuticals without prescription orders, increased domestic consumption of illicit fentanyl, expanded domestic production of illicit fentanyl, and the rise of fentanyl-based counterfeits in Mexican pharmacies—has created a substantial risk to regional public health. Mexican cartels manufacture and distribute these counterfeit drugs, facilitated by corrupt officials engaged in limited drug enforcement. To address this emerging public health crisis, an independent fentanyl enforcement division should be established in Mexico to oversee expanded drug enforcement operations targeting cartels and their intermediaries. This division should conduct rigorous and surprise inspections of pharmacies accompanied by international observers and provide anonymous whistleblower channels for pharmacists and the public. Pharmacy owners found knowingly selling fentanyl-based counterfeits should face severe penalties, including forfeiture of pharmacy licences, lifetime bans from owning and operating pharmacies, significant fines, and incarceration. By enacting these enforcement and public health reforms, Mexico can more effectively minimize the dispensation of fentanyl-based counterfeits and safeguard regional public health.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"37 4","pages":"978-988"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143919357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Papers at the local level are product-specific to emphasise how the trade of specific agricultural commodities would affect the achievement of particular SDGs in question.
