When exposed to higher supplier-side MPS, firms experience significantly higher separation rates and lower foreign entry rates. Our findings remain robust across a range of alternative MPS measures. In response, firms shift their sourcing from high-interest-rate countries to low-interest-rate countries, but they do not re-shore. We show that trade credit and price adjustment by suppliers are important for explaining the restructuring. The disruption is more likely driven by customer decisions. Moreover, heterogeneities show that firms with stricter credit constraints are more sensitive to MPS, while longer-duration supply chain relationships show greater resilience. The supply chain adaptation induced by MPS also leads to adverse real economic outcomes for imports, exports, and profitability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 102535"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144921564","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}

Further decomposition reveals a crucial asymmetry: pure policy shocks and policy stance changes are persistently contractionary while shocks conveying the central bank’s information are modestly expansionary.

This study found that the judge quota reform in China has improved judicial efficiency and quality due mainly to the personnel classification management system rather than the reappointed judges. By introducing task-specific returns to specialization in the judicial system, the personnel classification management system has allowed judges to concentrate on their adjudicative tasks instead of administrative and secretarial duties and thereby improving judicial performance. Institution design plays an important role in optimizing resource allocation and improving efficiency.

We leverage the variation in policy exposure at the province, urban, and birth-cohort level to understand the extent to which the LLF campaign has affected social networks and intergenerational support for elderly parents. The plausible channels that may impact life expectancy are living arrangements, visits, and financial transfers. Using the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, we identify adults of childbearing age who were exposed to the LLF campaign and whose fertility was reduced. We find that greater LLF exposure increases the likelihood of the wife’s parents co-residing in her household. The increase in elderly support, however, is largely manifested through more visits and financial transfers from their sons’ families, which is unsurprising in a patrilineal society.

This study investigates the relationship between internal migration experience (IME) and the locus of control (LOC) among entrepreneurs, a psychological trait with significant implications for various life and organizational outcomes. We first develop a theoretical framework to explore how migration may relate to entrepreneurs' LOC. Using nationally representative datasets from China, we compare entrepreneurs with IME who returned to their hometowns with those who have never migrated. The results show robust evidence that returnees exhibit stronger internal LOC than non-migrants, partially explaining the positive link between migration and entrepreneurial behaviors. This observed relationship is more pronounced among those who migrated earlier in life and appears weaker among individuals with prolonged migration durations. The positive association is also more evident among male entrepreneurs, those born after 1980, members of the ethnic majority, and entrepreneurs from smaller cities. Mechanism analysis further suggests that while IME is linked to health deterioration and weakened origin-based social networks, it is also associated with gains in work experience, managerial skills, cultural assimilation, and socioeconomic improvement, which contribute to strengthening internal control beliefs. Our findings underscore the relevance of internal migration for entrepreneurial behavior, particularly through the lens of socio-emotional skills, and suggest the importance of migration policies for inclusive urban development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 102536"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144879656","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}

Capital account liberalization offers China’s domestic households more options for purchasing foreign assets as an alternative saving instrument, enhancing consumption-smoothing capacities and mitigating the crowding-out effect of the housing sector on the real economy. The quantitative analysis further indicates that in the short run, the reduced investment demand for housing assets caused by financial liberalization leads to more capital being allocated to the domestic real sector, and in the long run, a trade-off exists between smoothing consumption and promoting output.

Decomposing polarization into alienation and identification, we observe that alienation (between group inequality) continues to rise from 2002 to 2018, while identification (within group cohesion) increases until 2013 but declines thereafter. The underrepresentation of rich households leads to an underestimation of alienation and an overestimation of identification. While these counterbalancing effects contribute to higher polarization levels, they do not alter the trend during the period. However, as the mitigating effect on identification diminishes and the growing effect on alienation intensifies, it suggests potential challenges in accurately tracking future changes in wealth polarization using survey data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"94 ","pages":"Article 102533"},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144829907","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}

Notably, this effect is stronger for non-automotive sectors, developing countries with lower technology capacity, countries focusing on downstream-oriented production, and those with lower transportation costs to China. Moreover, we demonstrate that increased export concentration on China is the primary channel through which partners reorganize production and increase market-oriented robot adoption in MPEC, supporting the export diversion effect of trade liberalization rather than the export creation effect of CFTAs. Beyond tariff reductions, the enforceable WTO + X and WTO-X provisions under CFTAs contribute to robot adoption in MPEC.
