Guangdong’s New R&D Institutes

In pursuit of technological development, China has created new organizations to promote innovation. This brief examines New Research and Development Institutes (NRDIs), which are designed to foster knowledge transfer to industry. NRDIs were pioneered in Guangdong province in the 1990s, and have gained prominence in China’s national science, technology, and innovation policies since the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020). NRDIs are defined by their market orientation and extremely flexible organizational form. They work by establishing “innovation platforms” with local governments and private knowledge actors to carry out research and development (R&D), commercialize scientific and technological achievements, incubate local technology industries, and cultivate high-end talent. NRDIs have been instrumental to regional development in Guangdong, and especially Shenzhen, where they have succeeded in attracting talent from outside the region. NRDIs have important policy implications for international competition for talent. Understanding NRDIs is crucial for other countries that want to improve their own inter-regional innovation resources and respond to the challenge of China’s drive to attract global talent and knowledge resources.

Emerging digital inequality in early life: Parenting and differential usage of digital devices among urban preschoolers in China

AbstractObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the following questions: (1) how Chinese preschoolers’ usage of digital devices differ by their family socioeconomic status (SES), and (2) how socioeconomic differences in children's usage of digital devices can be accounted for by parents’ digital parenting attitudes and behaviors.BackgroundScholars in social stratification and inequality have warned about “Digital Inequality” and argued that the fact that people from different socioeconomic backgrounds differ in their access to digital equipment and their knowledge of how to use digital devices effectively would eventually contribute to social inequality. Unfortunately, most of the current studies on digital inequality focus on the population of adults or adolescents; whether and how digital inequality emerges in early life remains heavily understudied.MethodsWe use data from Early Childhood Study‐The Great Bay Area (ECS‐GB), a regional representative survey conducted in 2018 and designed to assess preschool children's social‐emotional and cognitive development in Guangdong, a coastal province in South China. Our analytical sample consists of 11,445 preschool children aged from 3 to 6 with urban hukou.ResultsOur results show that compared with children from lower‐SES families, preschoolers from higher‐SES families spend less time on digital devices daily, are less likely to use digital devices for prolonged time, and spend significantly less time on non‐education purposed and leisure activities. These socioeconomic differences in children's digital usage in terms of time and types of activities are attributable to the fact that parents of higher SES families impose more restrictions, provide more guidance to their children's digital activities, and are more conscious about their children's digital usage in daily life.ConclusionIn contemporary China, digital inequality emerges in early life and such inequality is closely related to family's digital parenting practices.

How can the digital economy alleviate multidimensional energy poverty? —Empirical evidence of 21 prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province

Utilizing dynamic panel data from 21 Guangdong cities (2006–2021), this study employs a GMM model to examine the relationship between the digital economy (DE) and energy poverty (EP), analyzing its heterogeneous effects and robustness. The findings indicate that DE significantly reduces EP by enhancing energy utilisation, with varied impacts across regions and stages. Specifically, DE's contribution is more significant in economically developed Pearl River Delta regions, and increased after 2012 policy implementations. Furthermore, technological innovation acts as a threshold for DE's eradication of EP. Only when technological innovation reaches a certain threshold does the digital economy exhibit a significant effect on eradicating energy poverty. Based on these insights, policy recommendations are proposed to promote sustainable energy development in Guangdong and nationwide.

Employment Policy, Employment Capital, and Employment Intention of Guangdong Private College Students

The purpose of this study is to explore the employment intention of private college students in Guangdong, and to analyze the relationship between employment policy, employment capital and employment intention, in order to promote the employment and economic development in Guangdong. The study adopted a quantitative approach, using an online questionnaire to survey 612 students, using a variety of data analysis tools to ensure research rigor. It is found that attitude has a significant impact on employment policy and subjective norms on employment capital and employment intention, and employment capital plays an intermediary role in the relationship between these two pairs. The findings deepen our understanding of how individual attitudes, social norms, and employment capital work together to shape employment intentions, highlight the importance of cultivating positive employment attitudes and supportive social norms to enhance employment capital, and provide targeted interventions and policy recommendations for education and employment stakeholders to improve employment outcomes.

Legal Approaches and Regulatory Methods for Fintech in the Guangdong – Hong Kong – Macao Greater Bay Area

Objective: To look at the fintech regulatory policy and regulatory system in the Greater Bay Area through the lens of the Trilemma of Innovation doctrine in order to identify the applicability and extrapolation of existing legal models in the zone of accelerated economic and innovation development in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau.Methods: The article is based on the comparative legal research of the regulation regarding models, existing within the regulatory framework for fintech. For that matter we conduct a generalization, introducing the classification of methods and systems that, in our opinion, can be recognized as the Lego-like systems of instruments.Results: The research evaluates difficulties that may be faced by the participants within GBA on the way of legal harmonization regarding fintech. Special attention is paid to Hong Kong SAR, being one of the bestknown examples of successful fintech regulation, and to comparing fintech regulation in Mainland China and in SAR (Macau, in particular). The author states that the last amendments to the financial law of Macau SAR also add an element of uncertainty, even though they aim to develop the situation within the framework. The author compares a technocratic approach, according to which fintech regulation is completely national (created only for the domestic market and reflects its structure) and traditional approach to regulation, a part of which is the Trilemma of Innovation. The latter implies the possibility of over-national (international) standardization, including in the form of soft law, which may eliminate the difference in understanding the fintech characteristics, its concepts and scope. Besides, the author analyses the correlation between the concepts of financial regulatory system and financial system of fintech regulation, extrapolation of the existing regulatory framework to the developing market of innovative technological solutions and their various models. The author highlights the regulatory response method, changing during the fintech market evolution, and applied, as a rule, together with other approaches.Scientific novelty: the article presents a comprehensive review of the different systems of fintech legal regulation in the Guangdong – Hong Kong – Macau Greater Bay Area, whose unique experience demonstrates various trajectories of the fintech market development in southern China within the “One Country – Two Systems” concept.Practical significance: the main conclusions and proposals resulting from the study are of significant interest for further research, regulatory policy and fintech regulatory system, as Mainland China and the special administrative regions of the Greater Bay Area use different approaches and methods of legal response that have no analogues in the modern world.

Analysis of the Synergistic Effect of Rural Sustainable Development and Rural Revitalization Policy in Guangdong Province

Guangdong province, as the center of China's economy and culture, has always had a unique position in the rural development. In recent years, with the proposal of the rural revitalization strategy, how to implement this policy in Guangdong and ensure that it is combined with sustainable development has become the focus of the academic and practical circles. This study aims to deeply explore the current situation of sustainable development in rural areas in Guangdong Province and the practice and synergies of rural revitalization policies. Through a literature review and empirical analysis, we systematically reviewed the historical evolution, current situation and challenges and problems encountered in Guangdong in practice. It is found that in the process of promoting rural revitalization and sustainable development, Guangdong province has successfully combined the two, and achieved significant economic, social and cultural benefits. But at the same time, it also faces some challenges, such as ecological and environmental protection and farmers' income gap. The conclusion points out that Guangdong's exploration provides valuable experience for other regions, but also emphasizes important issues to be addressed in future research and policy making. The innovation of this study lies in the first in-depth discussion of the synergistic effect of rural revitalization and sustainable development in Guangdong, which provides a new perspective and thinking for the research in related fields.

Does "Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area" Promote OFDI Reverse Innovation Spillovers in Provinces Along the Line?

Based on the panel data of 30 provinces and cities with provincial status across the country from 2011 to 2016, this paper explores the impact of Initiative of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area on the development of OFDI reverse innovation spillovers in the provinces along the line. This paper empirically tests the impact of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Initiative on the development level of OFDI reverse innovation spillovers in the provinces along the line by using the difference-in-differences method. The study found that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Initiative has effectively improved the development level of OFDI reverse innovation spillovers in the provinces along the line in China. From the dynamic test results, it can be seen that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Initiative has had an impact on the development of OFDI reverse innovation spillovers in the provinces along the line since it was proposed, and the policy effect has gradually strengthened. The robustness of the regression results is further verified by eliminating the 11 provinces of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to eliminate the impact of exogenous events, which shows that the promotion of the policy of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Region on OFDI in the provinces along the line is not affected by the pre-policy factors, nor by other events. The conclusion of this paper has important implications for the optimization of regional industrial policies and the development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao in the background of dual circulation.

A Study on the Coordinated Development of Population Growth and Social Security in Guangdong Province

This study aims to analyze the coordinated development of population growth and social security in Guangdong Province, and summarize the objective laws of development in various economic regions. The research aims to provide new insights for the government to promote the coordinated development of population growth and social security based on local conditions, formulate sustainable social security policies, improve the level of social security in Guangdong Province, and enrich the content of social security policy reform. The research methods include literature review, exploration of advanced theories and models from abroad, and processing of publicly available data from the Guangdong Provincial Government in 2020. Additionally, the study utilizes the principles of statistical measurement of variable coupling to calculate the coordination between population development and social security development in Guangdong Province, and explains the differences in coordination levels among different regions through empirical research methods.The results indicate a significant positive correlation between population development and social security development in most regions of Guangdong Province. Regions with higher levels of population development tend to have higher levels of social security, and there is a similar spatial distribution pattern between the two. However, there is also a significant imbalance in development among different regions. Based on the coordination level between population development and social security development, the Pearl River Delta region is categorized as having high-quality coordination, the mountainous areas are classified as moderately imbalanced, and the western and eastern regions are deemed severely imbalanced. In conclusion, data analysis suggests that the Guangdong Provincial Government needs to further deepen the reform of the social security system, promote economic integration, strengthen the construction of social security institutions, narrow the wealth gap between regions in Guangdong Province, maintain coordinated development among different regions, promote further economic development in Guangdong, attract more talent to stay in the province, and achieve the goal of shared economic development for all citizens.

Industrial structure optimization, economic development factors and regional economic risk prevention in post COVID-19 period: empirical analysis based on panel data of Guangdong regional economy.

In the post-COVID-19 period, the regional economic development gap in Guangdong has expanded and the risk has increased. This is not conducive to building a well-off society in Guangdong in an all-round way. Optimizing the industrial structure, changing the mode of economic growth, preventing regional economic risks, and narrowing the regional economic development gap are the focus of Guangdong governments at all levels. Based on a two-sector economic growth model, the paper uses descriptive statistics and Deng's grey correlation method to analyze the economic development panel data of 21 prefecture-level cities of Guangdong Province from 2011 to 2018, analyzes the characteristics of regional economic development in Guangdong, and makes experimental research of the effect of industrial structure optimization and economic development factors on economic growth in Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Shantou, Maoming and Meizhou at different stages of development. The results show that: there are differences in the industrial structure and the level of economic development in different regions; the rationalization of industrial structure and upgrading of the industrial structure has an impact on economic growth and show different features during different stages; in different stages of economic development, foreign trade, scientific and technological innovation are the main factors affecting regional economic growth. This paper holds that the northwest of Guangdong Province and the Pearl River Delta should formulate industrial structure adjustment policies to promote the rationalization of regional industrial structure, expand foreign trade channels and innovate financing mechanisms, and restrain regional economic risks in combination with regional characteristics. The new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation and mutual promotion, further expands the level of opening up, effectively playing the role of free trade pilot areas, free trade ports, special economic zones, development zones, bonded areas, and other frontier highlands, improve the level and capacity of foreign trade.

Modeling waste generation and end-of-life management of wind power development in Guangdong, China until 2050

Waste generation and end-of-life (EoL) management of wind power systems (WPSs) have attracted increasing attention as the number of decommissioned wind turbines continues to increase. In this study, we have addressed this issue by applying a technology-specific, component-by-component, and stock-driven prospective dynamic material flow analysis model in the case of Guangdong, a province in South China with high wind power potential. A particular improvement in our model includes the consideration of the foundation type for offshore wind turbines and the impact of water depth. We set three scenario combinations, high, medium, and low, to reveal the scale of material stocks and flows of wind power development in Guangdong from 1989 to 2050. We found that, as the escalating development of wind power continues (particularly offshore), the total waste generation has increased from 0 tons in 1989 to 24 kilotons in 2018, and will further increase to 1,200, 740, and 490 kilotons in 2050 under the high, medium, and low, scenario combinations, respectively. This indicates a growing demand for waste disposal capacity (particularly for recycling) in the future and a necessity to consider such EoL management issue (particularly for EoL blades) and circular economy strategies (e.g., material efficiency) associated with a much-needed ambitious wind energy development plan. We also argue that relevant EoL policy for WPSs (including Extended Producer Responsibility) should be in place in advance and feasible business models should be explored with joint efforts of wind, waste, and utility industries.

On the United Front Work Mechanism of Hong Kong and Macau in the Integrated Development of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau Bay Area

The construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area presents a new era issue for the United Front Work of Hong Kong and Macao. On the basis of combing the related literature, the article analyzes the united front dilemma faced by the integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and proposes a possible path for the innovation of the Australian united front work mechanism. The author holds that from the perspective of the united front, the main difficulties facing the integration and development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area are economic "symbiosis", cultural "combination" and social "linkage".The united front work in Hong Kong and Macau should keep pace with the times and innovate working mechanisms in the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Research on the Influence of FDI on Guangdong’s High-Quality Economic Development

With the transition of China's economy from the stage of rapid growth to the stage of high-quality development, the influence of the introduction of FDI on the high-quality development of regional economy has become more and more an issue to be discussed. This paper selects Guangdong Province as the frontier of China's reform and opening up. Combining with the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, development and sharing, the high-quality development system of Guangdong's economy is constructed and the high-quality development index of Guangdong's economy is measured by entropy weight method. On this basis, empirical analysis of FDI on the quality of Guangdong province's economic development. Research shows that FDI can significantly promote the high-quality economic development of Guangdong, where technological progress and government intervention are important factors to promote the high-quality economic development of Guangdong, while industrial development hinders the high-quality economic development of Guangdong, urbanization has a positive role in promoting the high-quality economic development of Guangdong. However, the results were not significant. The results of quantile regression showed that for different levels of high-quality economic development, the promoting effect of FDI presented differences, specifically, with the improvement of the level of high-quality economic development, the promoting effect of FDI on high-quality economic development presented a gradual downward trend. Guangdong is in the important stage of the high-quality economic development to the objective and the role of FDI on Guangdong economy high-quality development, to distinguish the different economic development level of high-quality parts for the sensitivity of the FDI, specific aim ground is made science and Guangdong economy development stage of FDI into high-quality policy, to ensure high-quality economic growth is of great significance in Guangdong.

Analysis on the Relationship between Green Finance and Green Development of Guangdong Province

Policies about sustainable development are carrying out in China. From two perspectives to study whether green finance promoted the green economy development in Guangdong or not by grey correlation analysis. The results of using Guangdong’s green financial data were not supported this hypothesis, while the results of using national financial data were supported this hypothesis. The reason is that Guangdong even Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay area is one of the most developed regions in China, which shows a gatherring effect, and the resources of the whole country flow into Guangdong continuously. That play an important role in green development in Guangdong.

Research on building a smart supply chain system to promote the high-quality economic development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao

To promote the construction of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee, a new measure to promote the formation of a new pattern of comprehensive opening-up in the new era, and a new practice to promote the development of the cause of “one country, two systems”. Promoting the construction of the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is conducive to deepening exchanges and cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao, and is of great significance for Hong Kong and Macao to participate in national development strategies, enhance competitiveness and maintain long-term prosperity and stability. From the perspective of smart supply chain, this paper proposes to build a smart supply chain system in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to promote high-quality economic development.

Analysis and Suggestions on the Factors of Income Gap

Income gap reflects the imbalance of economic development in a region. Excessive income gap will affect social instability, aggravate social contradictions and conflicts, thus hindering social progress and development. Reasonable narrowing of income gap is conducive to optimizing the allocation of resources and improving social production efficiency. Guangdong Province has a high per capita income level in China. With the further development of Guangdong's economy, the income gap has changed to a certain extent, and this issue still attracts much attention. By consulting the basic data obtained from the Guangdong Yearbook in 2018, the Gini coefficient of Guangdong Province in 2018 is 0.335, which is basically reasonable, but it has not reached a relatively average level. The gap between GDP and per capita GDP of the four regions in Guangdong Province (Pearl River Delta, East Wing, West Wing, East Guangdong, West Guangdong, North Guangdong) is still large. By analyzing the factors of natural conditions, calculating the proportion of three industries and other factors, this paper explores the reasons for the formation of income gap, and puts forward some suggestions to narrow the gap from the aspects of optimizing industrial structure, adjusting income distribution and differentiating taxation, and finally draws a conclusion.

Promotion of Maple Bridge Experience in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Grand Bay Area under the Background of Non-Unitary System

The Maple Bridge experience should be based on the national and regional reality of the new era in order to realize innovative development. The deep integration development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao is an important opportunity to break the dilemma of harmonious governance between the mainland and Hong Kong and Macao. In order to solve the legal problems of promoting the experience of Maple Bridge under different legal sources and economic and social backgrounds, we should promote the integration and development of the folk norms of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao under the background of non-unitary system. Aiming at regional stability, we can release the non-institutionalized civil contract and the efficiency of trade rules governance, and form an effective link mechanism from information sharing, public participation to interest coordination, and deep cooperation.
