The Impact

Based on the panel data of 224 prefecture-level and above cities in China from 2003 to 2016, this paper empirically studies the impact of urban sprawl on air pollution and introduces a mediating effect model to test the mediating role of vehicle ownership concerning the impact of urban sprawl on air pollution. The research in this paper arrives at three conclusions. First, urban sprawl has a significant positive effect on air pollution, and this conclusion is still valid after solving the endogeneity problem and conducting a robustness test. Second, the results of mediating effect test show that urban sprawl indirectly affects air pollution through the partial mediating effect of vehicle ownership. By removing the mediating effect, urban sprawl has a significant negative impact on air pollution, indicating that the mediating effect of vehicle ownership is higher concerning the impact of urban sprawl on air pollution. Third, further panel quantile regression results show that the higher the level of air pollution, the weaker the mediating effect of vehicle ownership and the stronger the direct effect of urban sprawl on air pollution. These conclusions can provide some empirical support for solving the air pollution problems caused by urban sprawl in China.

Abstract Panel data of 234 cities in China from 2011 to 2018 is used to measure the urban shrinkage index. PM2.5 is used as an indicator of haze pollution, and labour supply is the mediator. On this basis, the influence mechanism of haze pollution on urban shrinkage is analysed theoretically. Next, using the dynamic panel model and the mediating effect model, we empirically examine the impact of urban shrinkage on haze pollution and the mediating effect of labour supply. The main findings are as follows: haze pollution increases the degree of urban shrinkage, and labour supply plays a regulatory role in the process of haze pollution affecting urban shrinkage. According to our research, pertinent policies and suggestions are proposed to reduce both urban shrinkage and haze pollution.

Based on the risk and protective factor framework and context-dependent theory, the present study investigated the association between maternal psychological control and anxiety among left-behind children in rural China as well as the moderating roles of externalizing problem behavior and teacher support in this association. A total of 149 children with two migrant parents, 306 children with only a migrant father, and 287 accompanied children aged 11–16 years (M = 13.85 years, SD = 0.50) in the rural areas of Shandong Province, Eastern China, participated in the study. Children reported their perceived levels of maternal psychological control, teacher support, externalizing problem behavior, and anxiety. The results provided evidence that a higher level of psychological control was associated with more anxiety symptoms in all three groups of children, and this association was stronger in children with two migrant parents than in accompanied children. Hierarchical regression analysis supported our hypotheses that the moderating effects of externalizing problem behavior and teacher support varied as a function of parents' migrant status, with externalizing problem behavior exacerbating the impact of psychological control on anxiety in accompanied children, and teacher support buffering the impact of psychological control on anxiety in children with a migrant father. These findings broaden our understanding of the factors and processes that contribute to anxiety problems in left-behind children in rural China.

The Impact

In this paper, 3,493 non-financial listed companies in China from 2007 to 2018 are selected as samples to study the impact of corporate financialization on green technology innovation through the panel regression model as well as the mediating effect model, so as to identify whether enterprises tend to financial speculation or capital investment. The main conclusions are as follows. First, corporate financialization has a speculative tendency instead of strategic capital investment. Second, corporate financialization shows heterogeneous impact on green technology innovation, which is dominated by capital expenditure. Third, the heterogeneity is reflected in two aspects: attribute characteristics and external environment. The attribute characteristics of the enterprise includes whether the industry belongs to pollution industry and the ownership structure. The external environment includes the location of enterprise and the degree of financing constraints. Fourth, there are significant differences between attribute characteristics and external environment of enterprises in the impact of financialization decision-making behavior. The deviation caused by enterprise attributes is less than 10%, but the deviation caused by external environment is close to 80%.

Business Structure

It is an important objective for insurers to optimize their business structures to prevent business risks. This paper examines the solvency risk management in property-liability insurance companies from the perspective of business structure optimization. We construct a logical framework to explain the impact of the business structure on solvency through profitability and reinsurance behavior of property-liability insurance companies. By constructing a mediating effect model, we tested 35 Chinese-funded property-liability insurance companies and 18 foreign-funded property-liability insurance companies in China’s insurance market from 2009 to 2015. Two major results were found as follows: first, the impact of the business structure on solvency is positively significant in small Chinese-funded insurance companies as well as foreign-funded insurance companies, while it is insignificant in large Chinese-funded insurance companies. Second, the mediating effect test shows that the intermediary channel of profitability does not exist, while the intermediary channel of reinsurance exists, and the reinsurance fully mediated the relationship between business structure and solvency only in foreign-funded insurance companies. Therefore, we suggest that small Chinese-funded insurance companies should actively develop nonauto insurance and improve the risk diversification effect of the diversified business structure. On the contrary, foreign-funded insurance companies should give play to their differentiated advantages and continue to concentrate on the operation of nonauto insurance in China’s insurance market. Besides, the above two types of companies should attach more importance to the positive role of reinsurance in solvency risk management in their business development strategies.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to determine how left-behind children’s perceived personal rejection and emotional intelligence impact on the relationship between their peer attachment and pathological Internet use in China. Using the cluster random sampling method, a total of 406 left-behind children (aging 12.76 ± 2.13) from six rural primary and secondary schools in mainland China were recruited for the study (202 males and 204 females). The results of the analysis indicated that peer attachment negatively predicted left-behind children’s pathological Internet use. Perceived personal rejection had a mediating effect on the relationship between peer attachment and pathological Internet use, whereas emotional intelligence had a moderating effect on the relationships between peer attachment and perceived personal rejection and between peer attachment and pathological Internet use among these children. Moreover, peer attachment had a greater negative impact on the perceived personal rejection and pathological Internet use of left-behind children with high emotional intelligence compared with those of students with low emotional intelligence. These findings reveal the need for more support and interventions aimed at strengthening peer attachment and emotional intelligence of left-behind primary and secondary children and reducing their perceptions of personal rejection, which, in turn, reduces their pathological Internet use.

The Impact

The paper measures the yearly urban sprawl index and household power intensity of 285 prefecture-level and Municipality cities in China from 2004 to 2017. Through the establishment of a fixed effect model, random effect model and systematic GMM model, this paper empirically analyze the impact of urban sprawl on household power intensity, and found that there is a significant and positive effect of urban sprawl on household power intensity, that is, the higher the urban sprawl, the lower the efficiency of household electricity energy utilization will be, and this effect has a cogent robustness. On this basis, the establishment of a mediating effect model found that population agglomeration playes a significant role of the partial mediating effect in the process of urban sprawl affecting household power intensity. The conclusion of this paper provides some policy implications for the scientific and reasonable urban planning in the process of urbanization in China from the perspective of optimizing household power intensity.
