However, evidence on how OGD affects household-level entrepreneurial decisions—particularly in developing economies with large informal sectors—remains scarce. This study investigates the impact of OGD on household entrepreneurship in China, leveraging quasi-natural experimental variations in provincial OGD policies and micro-level data from the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2022). We establish that OGD significantly boosts household entrepreneurship through multiple mechanisms, including fostering digital industry agglomeration, improving information matching, easing credit constraints and building government trust. The overall effect is a 2.1% increase in entrepreneurial probability, yet this masks significant disparities. The benefits are concentrated in opportunity-driven ventures and among high-income, risk-tolerant households, while lower-income families benefit less—not simply due to poverty, but because they lack the digital skills to transform open data into entrepreneurial opportunities. These findings highlight OGD's role not just as a technical tool but as an institutional reform, whose inclusive impact depends on addressing underlying digital, financial and skills-based divides.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 6","pages":"1014-1026"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667449","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}

In dairying systems, herd health management is among such strategies. Although adoption patterns and productivity gains have been analysed in previous studies, the social implications are still not well understood. This paper provides insights into the relationship between herd health management and intrahousehold labour demand as well as women's empowerment. We test the hypotheses that the adoption of herd health management practices increases intrahousehold labour demand among male and female household members and, thereby, affects women's empowerment. We use primary data from smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya on time use, women's participation in decision-making and livestock asset ownership, adoption status of important herd health management practices and household demographic characteristics. We apply censored regression and multinomial logit regression models to test our hypotheses. The results show that adopting herd health management practices is associated with more labour demand in dairy production for both men and women. The magnitude of the change differs across production systems but is always higher for men. Additionally, herd health management practices are negatively associated with different aspects of women's empowerment including women's livestock asset ownership and control over income from dairy. The study underscores the importance for gender sensitivity in the sustainable intensification of livestock production in the Global South.</p>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 6","pages":"933-945"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jid.70099","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667492","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}

Drawing on a mixed-methods comparative design that combines document analysis of 148 policy and curricular texts, semi-structured interviews with 72 educators and community organizers and a purpose-built Knowledge Flow Intensity Index (KFII), the study traces the lateral pathways through which pedagogical strategies, curricular content and grassroots adaptation practices travel across these settings. The literature review was conducted through systematic searching of Web of Science, Scopus, ERIC and Google Scholar using multilingual search terms in English, Portuguese and Mandarin, supplemented by city-to-city cooperation studies and critical education research. The findings show that South–South knowledge circulation is mediated by diverse lines of pedagogical translation, policy adaptation and cultural contextualization, informed by local institutional legacies and community epistemologies. Shanghai demonstrates the strongest institutional scaffolding, São Paulo the deepest participatory pedagogy grounded in the Freirean tradition, and Mumbai foregrounds indigenous ecological knowledge. Differentiated circulation is proposed as a theoretical framework that reflects the multi-directional, domain-specific and transformative nature of lateral knowledge flows, extending prior circulation theory by specifying the mechanisms of transformation and providing a replicable quantitative instrument for their measurement. Implications for South–South educational cooperation, urban climate resilience policy and the epistemic politics of adaptation knowledge are discussed.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47986,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Development","volume":"38 6","pages":"1027-1044"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148667451","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}
