Furthermore, the R&amp;D project subsidy has a relatively poor impact on large firms and state-owned enterprises (SOEs), whereas the government innovation reward can still motivate their innovation.

Our findings indicate that certain market strategies, such as learning-by-doing, learning from neighboring firms, and waiting strategies, can effectively mitigate the adverse effects of risk shocks on export stability. Interestingly, a nonlinear marginal effect is observed in the case of the waiting-timing strategy.

By analyzing a proprietary account-level dataset from a major tech company in China, we attempt to clarify the consumption patterns of the elderly and establish several stylized facts. First, we observe a smooth decrease in consumption since the age of 40, instead of a structural reduction at any age. Second, the composition of consumption varies significantly among cohorts. The elderly spend significantly less on appearance-related categories and entertainment but not on dining, which contradicts the popular argument that food expenditure is substituted by home production (i.e. cooking at home). Third, the elderly is less likely to use consumer credit than the younger generations but the elderly that already become consumer credit users exhibit usage patterns not significantly different from the young. Lastly, with the COVID-19 pandemic, the elderly increase their medical and health expenditures but reduce total consumption.

Then it empirically measures the extent of digitalization in Chinese enterprises through their share of intermediate inputs to their value added from information and communication technologies. Data from the China Enterprise Tax Surveys and Inter-Country Input-Output Tables from 2007 to 2016 are used for the empirical analysis. It is noted that digitalization in enterprise manufacturing leads to an increase in corporate carbon emissions (CCE). The impact from the service sector, however, is not significant. The exacerbation of CCE is observed primarily among low-leverage enterprises, downstream industries, and firms located in relatively lower-income regions. In accordance with the theoretical model, it is observed that enterprise digitalization intensifies CCE by crowding out investment in environmentally friendly green production and by altering production patterns towards mass production. However, an efficient market mechanism effectively mitigates this exacerbation effect. The findings reveal the misalignment of enterprise digitalization transformation modes with long-term “low carbon” objectives, thereby exposing the need for appropriate policy interventions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102285"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142271956","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}

We find the heterogeneous effect of BRI in participating countries regarding per capita income, showing an increase in agricultural exports from China to non-high-income BRI countries but a reduction in exports from China to high-income BRI countries. It highlights the importance of considering specific economic status when formulating trade agreements with trade partners.
