Based on an analysis of global agricultural OFDI network characteristics, this study empirically examines the impact of OFDI network status on home countries' food security. The results reveal that the contemporary global agricultural OFDI network is dominated by developed countries, but is gradually moving toward a multicenter trend. A home country's rising position in the agricultural OFDI network will significantly promote food security. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that intermediary centrality and network connection strength have significantly positive impact on home countries' food security. The stronger the “transit” ability of a country in the agricultural OFDI network, the deeper the investment intensity in other countries, the more conducive to the food security of the home country. The impact of a country's position in the agricultural OFDI network on food security is also heterogeneous among countries with different income levels and coastline lengths. The results of the mechanism test demonstrate that the promotional status of a country's agricultural OFDI network position can positively affect food security by encouraging agricultural finance development and independent agricultural research and development. Based on this, the study suggests that China should further encourage agricultural enterprises to “go global,” build a strategic agricultural OFDI network system, enhance its position in the global agricultural OFDI network, strengthen the collaboration of network nodes, and improve policies such as financial support and innovation support to ensure the country's food security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102404"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143768054","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}

In this paper, the China CGE model was integrated with household survey data to further examine the impact of agricultural trade costs reduction on the agrifood system, capturing variations across food categories and household groups. Our findings indicate that, reducing domestic agricultural trade costs lowers food prices, expands food consumption and production, and improves residents' dietary quality, especially for low-income groups. When domestic agricultural trade costs decrease by 10 % annually from 2025 to 2030, fruit, milk, and aquatic product prices are projected to drop by 15.33 %, 12.88 %, and 10.39 %, respectively. This increase in the consumption of higher-value, currently under-consumed foods is anticipated to promote a more balanced diet, improving dietary quality for 36.78 % of rural residents and 39.07 % of urban residents. Consumption changes will also affect agricultural production and the macro-economy through inter-sectoral linkages. The reduction in domestic agricultural trade costs leads to increased production levels and stimulates growth in both agriculture and the agrifood system GDP. Future efforts should focus on enhancing cold chain logistics for fresh produce, standardizing the Green Channel policy, and strengthening the sustainability of China's agrifood system.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102406"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143829935","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}

However, counter-intuitively, the negative output effect of trade contraction during the pandemic is not accompanied by a corresponding decline in pollutant emission or improvement in air quality among Chinese counties. We show evidence that the non-effect of trade contraction on the environment arises because local governments, especially those not well monitored by central government on environmental indicators or facing a less binding environmental target, have intentionally relaxed their environmental regulation enforcement on local firms to spur production and mitigate the negative economic shock of the global trade contraction on local GDP during the pandemic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102402"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776685","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}

This paper empirically shows that services liberalization primarily reinforces specialization in fabrication. We find that the mechanism is the reduction in the cost of services used as the input of manufacturing sectors after services liberalization. We also document the impact is mainly driven by services liberalization in sectors of business and telecommunication and more prominent in sectors characterized by low labor cost, low labor productivity, and low technology levels and in developing countries located in the European production network. Moreover, we show that services liberalization has no discernible impact on specialization in R&D within developing countries. Our results suggest that developing countries, opening up their domestic services market, are seemingly incapable of upgrading functional specialization towards R&D from fabrication, but become more deeply entrenched in fabrication within the global production network.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48285,"journal":{"name":"中国经济评论","volume":"91 ","pages":"Article 102398"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143746523","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}

Furthermore, we contextualize these findings within China's fintech development landscape, trends in technological innovation, and patterns of regional economic growth. The results demonstrate that fintech exerts a significant incentive effect on regional innovation and effectively promotes economic growth. Heterogeneity analysis based on cities' endowments reveals that the impact of fintech is more pronounced in financially developed cities, those with high digital endowments, as well as in first- and second-tier cities.
