This paper investigates the disparities in the accumulation of housing wealth by exploring the relationship between income status and housing price appreciation. Drawing on data from the 2017 China Household Finance Survey, our findings reveal that lower-income households do not experience proportionate increases in housing wealth compared to their higher-income counterparts. This inequality has also been widened by multiple property ownership. Purchasing lower-valued homes does not explain the disparities in the housing price appreciation. Lower-income households are more likely to own low-quality homes, leading to smaller annual housing price appreciation. Lower-income homeowners are less likely to change their primary residence since they moved in. Trading-up strategies or frequent moving, which help to realise higher annualised price appreciation, are more likely to be deployed by high-income households. Meanwhile, lower-income households are less likely to use mortgage loans than higher-income households. However, this does not impede annual housing price appreciation. This paper also finds that the disparities in housing price appreciation among different income groups are particularly greater in higher-tier cities and in cities that implemented the housing purchase restriction policies, as housing prices are more spectacular in these types of cities. Moreover, the disparities can be greater among households that obtained their dwellings through the second-hand commercial housing market and the self-built housing market. These findings suggest that housing wealth may reinforce income inequalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"92 ","pages":"Article 102428"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143937036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploiting China's commitment to <em>peak CO</em><sub><em>2</em></sub> <em>emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060</em> as an exogenous shock to an unexpected increase in carbon regulatory risk, we perform a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) strategy. We find that exposure to carbon regulatory risk leads to an increase in bond yield spreads for carbon-intensive firms located in regions with stricter regulatory enforcement. This positive relationship is more pronounced for firms with financing constraints, belonging to more competitive industries, and located in regions with a high marketization process. We further identify that higher earnings uncertainty and increased investor attention serve as two mechanisms by which carbon regulatory risk influences the yield spreads of corporate bonds. Moreover, the spread decomposition reveals that the rise in bond yield spreads after an increase in carbon regulatory risk is primarily driven by the rise in default risk rather than the rise in liquidity risk. Overall, our findings highlight the importance of considering carbon regulatory risk exposure in financial markets, especially in developing economies like China.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"92 ","pages":"Article 102423"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143906950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate a positive correlation between occupational exposure and both wage levels and experience premiums at the occupation level. This suggests that higher-paying and experience-intensive jobs may face greater exposure risks from LLM-powered software. We then aggregate occupational exposure at the industry level to obtain industrial exposure scores. Both occupational and industrial exposure scores align with expert assessments. Our empirical analysis also demonstrates a distinct impact of LLMs, which deviates from the routinization hypothesis. We present a stylized theoretical framework to better understand this deviation from previous digital technologies. By incorporating entropy-based information theory into the task-based framework, we propose an AI learning theory that reveals a different pattern of LLM impacts compared to the routinization hypothesis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"92 ","pages":"Article 102413"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals that board structure has a significant effect on corporate strategic aggressiveness. Specifically, CEO duality enhances corporate strategic aggressiveness, a large size of the board of directors reduces corporate strategic aggressiveness, and the percentage of independent directors has a significant positive effect on corporate strategic aggressiveness. These effects can be realized through both internal control and compensation incentives. Further research shows that the effect of board structure on corporate strategic aggressiveness is more pronounced in firms whose executives have overseas backgrounds and in firms in highly competitive environments. Moreover, there is significant heterogeneity in the effect of board structure on corporate strategic aggressiveness in the presence of major exogenous shocks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"92 ","pages":"Article 102422"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143894310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
