Abstract:In recent years, with economic development, private vehicle ownership is rapidly growing in China. While associated with many benefits, China's vehicle growth also brings worsening negative externalities, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and energy dependence on oil imports.The purpose of this paper is to study the variance in private vehicle ownership among different provinces and draw some implications on how to control the growth of private vehicle ownership. In this paper, our empirical analysis uses panel data from 31 provinces during 2000 to 2013 to estimate regression models of private vehicle ownership. The data are from National Bureau of Statistics of the People`s Republic of China and EPS net database. We obtain several conclusions in this study: private vehicle ownership increases more rapidly with income in high-urbanization provinces; a high urbanization level is normally associated with high private vehicle ownership; people in high-urbanization provinces are relatively more sensitive to increases in the time cost and vehicle use cost; highway investments on infrastructure to stimulate growth of private vehicle ownership is limited; public transport infrastructure investment reduces private vehicle ownership in high urbanization areas; holding other factors constant, a province that adopts policies to restrain vehicle use, and more generally to increase use cost, are effective in reducing per capita private vehicle ownership. | |||

Abstract:The improvement of farmers' welfare could be explained as the optimization of the consumption structure. Theoretically, off-farm employment could improve the welfares of left-behind persons in emigrating communities through two channels: First, it enlarges the budget constraints of the left-behind by remittances from migrant workers; Second, there is a tendency of convergence between different consumption preferences in emigrating and immigrating communities. The "demonstration effect" of the modern consumption preference will optimize the consumption structure in emigrating communities. This paper uses Household survey data collected by the Research Centre for Rural Economy of the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture for the period from 1996-2010 in Sichuan and Anhui to test these hypotheses. Our preliminary results show that (1) off-farm employment does earn higher income for rural workers; (2) inter-region off-farm employment earns higher income than near-home off-farm employment; and (3) inter-region off-farm employment plays an important "demonstration role" that influences tastes and preferences of family members and other residents in the emigrating communities. | |||

Abstract:This paper presents a new model to analyze correlation between attractions in Multi-attractions destination with the help of methodologies derived from complex network, which is vital for destination manager to solve congestion fundamentally by planning the structure of destination's network more appropriately. More precisely, this study put forward the argument that arrangements of network structure affect the movement pattern of tourists by measuring the correlation between nodes .A case study of Chengdu's Happy Valley has verified the argument is applicative. The result obtained show that if the correlation between nodes in the physical structure is higher, the two attractions that the nodes represent will be closer. As a result, the possibility that these two attractions are visited before and after will be higher. | |||

Abstract:In this paper, we test the impact of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) on real earnings management using listed firms from Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges over 1998 to 2013. We find the level of real earnings management increases significantly after the mandatory adoption of XBRL indicating XBRL complexity makes managers more innovative to manipulate earnings using real activities. Furthermore, we investigate |
