Prediction of the Effectiveness of Deferred Retirement in the Labor Market Performance in China

Abstract: The analytical document touching upon the prospects of how delaying retirement affects labor market ability in China reveals some crucial information about the implications of the retirement age policy modifications. This test may indicate that the retirement age raise would be a huge factor in China's labor market status, such as employment level and national pension funds. Apart from this, the paper is a reminder for the authorities to have a broad policy discussion on diverse fiscal consequences that different retirement age policies may cause like wage inflexibility, disposable labor issues, and the aging population. These results demonstrate that the simulation should be considered for its interplay with individuals' lives as well as for the macro economy. To scrutinize the efficacy of postponing retirement within China's employment market performance, it's critical to deploy some economic theories. The first method involves the insights from both the Beveridge curve and job creation curve to dissect the nuances of job turnover rates, opportunities for finding new jobs, and their influence on unemployment figures. Delving deeper into pension fund ramifications necessitates assessing the shift from Defined Contribution (DC) schemes towards Defined Benefit (DB) plans, while also taking stock of how dependency ratios come into play. Moreover, gauging effects on incremental labor productivity alongside capital-to-labor ratio calls for an expansive view that considers changes across various industrial sectors and their broader consequences on the labor market as a whole.

Do loosened trading rules restore the stock index futures price discovery ability in China?

In response to the severe liquidity depletion caused by extremely stringent trading restrictions, which were initially designed to deter speculative activities, China's regulatory authorities progressively loosened the trading rules governing the stock index futures market from 2017 to 2019. This paper explores the evolution of price discovery and volatility spillover between the index futures and its spot market amidst the four-phased loosening of trading rules. Utilizing a high-frequency dataset (5-min intervals), our findings unearth that the initial restrictive regulatory framework notably hinders the index futures market's functions of price discovery and volatility spillover. These functions then begin to exhibit signs of recovery as the restrictions are incrementally loosened. However, our analysis also uncovers that an excessive loosening of trading rules conversely impairs these critical market functions. The findings underscore the necessity for regulatory bodies to develop adaptable and reactive regulatory frameworks that can align with the market's continuous evolution.

Climate risk assessment and adaption ability in China's coastal urban agglomerations - A case study of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area

As climate change intensifies, extreme weather events, especially the coastal flooding is becoming increasingly severe. Carbon emissions exacerbate climate change, leading to increased frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation, which may result in flooding. This study focuses on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), a coastal city cluster in China, and adopts the scenario analysis approach to evaluate flood risks in the different carbon mitigation scenario from the perspectives of dangerousness, and adaption ability. The result shows that the Huizhou in the east of the GBA and the Zhaoqing in the northwest have the highest level of flood disaster risk. However, the central region of the GBA (Guangzhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, and Foshan) is very vulnerable to disaster-inducing environments and hazard-affected bodies, which means that the flooding risk and the impact of such risk in the GBA display regional differentiation characteristics and the spatial patterns of them are different. According to the carbon neutrality scenario, the flood risk in the GBA peaks in 2030, and decreases during 2030–2090. In contrast, under the uneven development and high carbon pathways, the risk peaks in 2060, and the overall risk by 2090 is roughly the same as that in 2060. In addition, the regions with the highest flood disaster risk are Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan and Zhongshan along the Pearl River estuary. Overall, it shows that areas with higher levels of urbanization and more developed economies will face higher flooding risks. The “dangerousness-adaption ability” structure can reflect the spatial distribution pattern of flood disaster risks, identify the priority areas for flood prevention and control, and is conducive to risk management. At the same time, the research results show that ecological protection have a positive effect on reducing flood risk. In addition, corresponding policy recommendations for pre-disaster, mid-disaster and post-disaster have been proposed, providing references for flood risk management in the GBA.

Adolescents’ height and cognitive ability in China

Cognitive ability, as an early human capital, has always been an important research object in modern education and labor economics. Despite growing awareness of the importance of height in individual growth and development, there are few empirical studies on height and cognitive ability. Using the data from the China Education Panel Survey, this paper examined the impact of height on the cognitive ability of adolescents and explored the reasons behind the Chinese pursuit of height growth and the potential impact mechanism. In this paper, comprehensive analysis ability was taken as the representative of cognitive ability. The empirical results showed that height was positively correlated with cognitive ability. From the perspective of the influence mechanism, the hypothesis that height reflected self-esteem, health, non-cognitive ability, and other influences on cognitive ability was excluded. To correct the errors that endogenous problems may cause, we used the PSM method and “age at first menstruation " and “age at first wet dream” as instrumental variables to correct them. The results showed that height still affected cognitive ability, with taller people having higher cognitive ability.

Research on the Influencing Factors of Junior High School Students' Mathematical Operation Ability in China

Under the background of core literacy, how to improve the mathematical operation ability of junior high school students has received more and more attention in China. Therefore, many scholars explore the training strategies of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability by studying the influencing factors of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability. However, there are few general studies on the influencing factors of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability. This paper uses the literature analysis method to summarize the research on the influencing factors of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability since the core literacy of our country was put forward and draws the following conclusions: The researchers mainly include two categories: middle school teachers and master degree students. Middle school teachers often use the method of experience summary to explore the influencing factors of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability. Master degree students often study the influencing factors of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability through literature method, questionnaire survey method, interview method and statistical analysis method; The influencing factors obtained by predecessors mainly include objective and subjective aspects. Objective factors include school, social and family environment and teacher factors. The subjective factors mainly include five aspects: knowledge and skills, ability and thinking, interest, emotion attitude and habit; The influencing factors obtained by the predecessors are more extensive, but lack detailedness and specificity; Few researchers have verified the authenticity of the influencing factors. In the future, researchers can study the factors that affect the improvement of junior high school students' mathematical operation ability in a more detailed and specific way. The influencing factors, the authenticity of them can be verified by empirical research methods such as experimental methods.

Research on innovation decisions in industry-university-research cooperation based on differential games

ABSTRACT The lack of innovation power in industry-university-research (IUR) cooperation is one of the important reasons leading to low independent innovation ability in China. Considering the long-term and dynamic nature of IUR innovation effort, the differential game method is used to compare and analyse the optimal decision under four scenarios: independent R&D by enterprises and university-research institutes, tax incentives for enterprises by the government, tax incentives and subsidies by the government, and a Stackelberg game considering the internal cost subsidy of enterprises. The results show that government tax incentives can improve the enthusiasm of enterprises for cooperative innovation, while government subsidies can simultaneously improve the enthusiasm of IUR institutes for cooperative innovation and can enhance the overall benefits of both parties and even the system. When certain conditions are met based on the government’s tax incentive and subsidy policies, the innovation effort, cooperative innovation level and benefits in the Stackelberg game are optimal, and Pareto improvement can be achieved. The optimal benefits of enterprises and university-research institutes, the total benefits of the system, and the optimal trajectory of the cooperative innovation level tend to be stable over time in the four game scenarios.

Current situation and needs analysis of medical staff first aid ability in China: a cross-sectional study

ObjectivesWe aim to understand the current situation of the first aid ability and training needs of Chinese medical personnel to provide a scientific basis for formulating the contents and methods of emergency medical rescue training and thereby improve the first aid level of Chinese medical personnel.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted between June 2022 and February 2023 using a two-stage cluster sampling method with a structured questionnaire sent to medical workers in 12 provinces in China. 14,527 questionnaires were included in this study. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, first aid knowledge and skills, and training needs. Variance analysis was used to compare the difference between the first aid ability and training needs of medical staff in different hospitals, and multiple linear regression analysis was carried out to evaluate first aid ability and training needs.ResultThe study included 6041 patients (41.6%) in tertiary hospitals, 5838 patients (40.2%) in secondary hospitals, and 2648 patients (18.2%) in primary hospitals. There were significant differences in the first aid ability and training needs of medical staff in hospitals of different levels (p < 0.001). The score of first aid knowledge and skills in tertiary hospitals was the highest (209.7 ± 45.0), and the score of training needs in primary hospitals was the highest (240.6 ± 44.0). There was a significant correlation between first aid ability and training needs score (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis shows that geographic region, age, work tenure, gender, job title, department, professional title, monthly income, and hospital level are the influencing factors of training demand.ConclusionMedical staff in primary hospitals generally have low first aid knowledge and skills and a strong willingness to train. Therefore, it is imperative to strengthen the training of first aid ability and research training strategies. The level of the hospital is closely related to the level of first aid, so it is necessary to recognize the commonalities and differences in medical staff’s demand for first aid knowledge and skills and carry out targeted education and training.

The impact of international carbon-related factors on China's new energy market: Based on different market conditions

This study investigates the impact of the carbon-related factors (Returns and risks regarding to the international carbon market, the energy market, and global climate change) on the prices and risks of China's new energy markets under different market conditions. The empirical results reveal the price and risk of China's new energy markets are more influenced by carbon-related factors under extreme conditions than stable conditions. During the period of extreme market risk increase, the ability of China's new energy markets to withstand external risk shocks has significantly increased. Additionally, the linkages between China's new energy market and carbon-related factors are dynamic.

Analysis of the impact of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship on human resource index of science and technology enterprises based on logistic regression model

Abstract Considering the immediate phenomenon of uncoordinated advancement, unbalanced distribution and unreasonable structure of regional human resources and academy undergraduates’ innovation and start an undertaking ability in China, this paper fundamentally constructs academy undergraduates’ innovation and entrepreneurship system through a logistic regression model. The study takes 29 provinces and regions in China as research samples and adopts the logistic regression model BP neural network method to conduct a more in-depth theoretical discussion and empirical analysis on the interaction mechanism and the coupled and coordinated development of regional manpower capital and produce and start an undertaking ability in China. The coupling and coordination degree of manpower capital and production and start an undertaking in 29 provinces and regions in China is lower than 0.8, and the average value is 0.358, which is in the “mild dysfunctional decline” stage. There are some mutual constraints between the subsystems of human resources of science and technology enterprises and the products and start an undertaking ability of academy undergraduates, and more efforts must be made in their respective “shortcomings” and comparative disadvantages to promote the synergy and consistency of their development levels. We should strive to strengthen cooperation with foreign countries and introduce advanced technology and outstanding talents from developed countries. In the “import” at the same time “go out”, in the learning from the same time also “teach others to fish”, in order to achieve win-win cooperation.

Credit Risk Management of Commercial Banks in China

The banking sector has experienced significant growth since the reform and opening up and has also become aware of the transition from a single national banking system to the commercial banking system required by the market economy. However, the ability of China's commercial banks to develop further has been constrained by both internal and external forces. Due to the high non-performing assets and inadequate risk management in China's commercial banking sector, at the same time. It also hinders the development of the financial industry to some extent. Analyze the performance and factors that contribute to credit risk for China's commercial banks, as well as the current state of affairs and issues with credit risk management, in order to try and find a solution to the issue from the viewpoints of the financial system and credit management techniques. The main method used is to use theoretical analysis to discuss the problem of credit risk management, integrate theory with practice, and hope to provide reference for the improvement of bank credit risk management by systematically making in-depth and simple research on the credit risk situation of China's commercial banks.

Research on the Cultivation Strategy of Junior Middle School Student's Mathematics Operation Ability in China

Many scholars have carried out research on the cultivation strategy of junior middle school students mathematics operation ability in China, but few scholars have done general research on this topic. We reviewed existing research with the literature analysis method and drew the following conclusions: (1) Most of the researchers are junior middle school teachers, and a small number of researchers are master degree students. Researchers often first analyze the status quo of junior middle school students' mathematics operation ability and its influencing factors. Then, provided some the cultivation strategies; (2) The cultivation strategy of junior middle school student's mathematics operation ability focuses on teachers' perspectives, and mainly concerning on five categories: knowledge, skills, thinking, teaching concepts and teaching methods, and non-intellectual factors. There are few studies on the perspectives of students. (3) The methods used by the researchers are relatively single. The feasibility and the effectiveness of the cultivation strategy are not further followed up and analyzed. In the future, researchers should adopt a variety of research methods from the perspectives of students to explore the cultivation strategies. It is necessary to further follow up and analyze the feasibility and effectiveness of the research strategies.

Based on the current situation and necessity of the cultivation of intercultural business communication ability in China, this paper proposes three innovative strategies for the cultivation of intercultural business communication ability, namely, restructuring the cultivation system, enriching the cultivation mode, and following the effective cultivation principles, to provide reference for the development of students' comprehensive English ability.

Parental socioeconomic status and children’s cognitive ability in China

It is widely recognized that intergenerational transmission is one of the primary causes of persistent social inequality. Using nationally representative data, the China Family Panel Studies, this paper is one of the first to comprehensively investigate parental SES and children’s cognitive outcomes in China and moves beyond existing work by accounting for the direct intergenerational transmission of cognitive ability and by examining various novel mechanisms. Our results show that parents’ education rather than income is positively associated with their children’s cognitive abilities. The analysis of mechanisms shows that educational disparity widens the gap in parental investment, as well as parental beliefs regarding education and expectations for their children. Nevertheless, we do not find differences in parenting productivity. In addition, we find that the impact is more prominent in rural areas where education resources are much more limited. Various tests have been performed to prove the robustness of our findings.

Practical Training Mode for Improving Teachers' Data Literacy Ability

Based on the analysis of the research status of university teachers' data literacy at home and abroad, combined with the survey results of university teachers' data literacy ability in China, this paper uses data classification and other methods to mine the core elements of university teachers' data literacy ability; Further use the scoring method to build a multi-level dynamic evaluation system of teachers' data literacy ability; For different levels of data literacy capabilities, we will build a multi-level promotion strategy plan to form a complete set of dynamic strategies for improving college teachers' data literacy capabilities, and promote and apply them.

Distortion of government behaviour under target constraints: Economic growth target and urban sprawl in China

To gain promotion advantages, municipal governments usually set higher growth targets than higher level governments to show loyalty and to signal ability in China, thereby forming growth target constraints. There is still a lack of research linking targets with urban development models. This paper contributes to this by examining the impact of economic growth target constraints on urban sprawl. We found that municipal governments are facing obvious economic growth target constraints, especially top-down overweighting constraints. The urban growth target constraint has significantly promoted urban sprawl, and that the impact is more obvious for cities that use hard constraint vocabulary to set growth targets, small and medium-sized cities and cities that failed to achieve their growth targets as scheduled last year. The mechanism is that the growth target constraint will lead to the local governments placing emphasis on land, ignoring population and investment bias in their emphasis on construction, and ignoring public services, which will lead to low density and decentralisation of cities. Our main novel empirical findings provide important clues for understanding the evolution of urban spatial morphology and urban development models in China. This will provide new policy insights for the transformation of urban models to more sustainable development.

Older populations of the invader Solidago canadensis exhibit stronger positive plant-soil feedbacks and competitive ability in China.

The enemy release hypothesis predicts that release from natural enemies, including soil-borne pathogens, liberates invasive plants from a negative regulating force. Nevertheless, invasive plants may acquire novel enemies and mutualists in the introduced range, which may cause variable effects on invader growth. However, how soil microorganisms may influence competitive ability of invasive plants along invasion chronosequences has been little explored. Using the invasive plant Solidago canadensis, we tested whether longer residence times are associated with stronger negative plant-soil feedbacks and thus weaker competitive abilities at the individual level. We grew S. canadensis individuals from 36 populations with different residence times across southeastern China in competition versus no competition and in three different types of soils: (1) conspecific rhizospheric soils; (2) soils from uninvaded patches; and (3) sterilized soil. For our competitor treatments, we constructed synthetic communities of four native species (Bidens parviflora, Solanum nigrum, Kalimeris indica, and Mosla scabra), which naturally co-occur with Solidago canadensis in the field. Solidago canadensis populations with longer residence times experienced stronger positive plant-soil feedbacks and had greater competitive responses (i.e., produced greater above-ground biomass and grew taller) in conspecific rhizospheric soils than in sterilized or uninvaded soils. Moreover, S. canadensis from older populations significantly suppressed above-ground biomass of the native communities in rhizospheric and uninvaded soils but not in sterilized soil. The present results suggest that older populations of S. canadensis experience stronger positive plant-soil feedbacks, which may enhance their competitive ability against native plant communities.
