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.

AbstractThe primary purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the impact of bank competition on financial stability in India. We use a dynamic panel model to examine whether an increase in bank competition hindrances financial stability of commercial banks in India over the period 1996 to 2016. Findings reveal that in India, a higher degree of bank competition is positively associated with the prevalence of non-performing loans. Additionally, the positive impact of the Lerner index on Z-score lends support to competition-fragility hypothesis. However, we argue that both the views of competition-stability and competition-fragility can coexist in a single banking system like India.

The Impact

This paper contributes to the debate on the impact of economic diversity and the resource curse on economic growth. We use dynamic panel data models on data on Canadian and US sub-national jurisdictions. We find evidence for a positive relationship between diversity and growth. Based on the Krugman Specialization Index, our analysis shows that the required threshold for not having the resource curse is 0.209. Above this threshold, the marginal contribution of natural resources to economic growth is lower for a more diversified regional economy than a less diversified one. We highlight the policy implications of these findings.

Monetary Policy Reaction Function

The advent of the East Africa Monetary Union in the East Africa Community region is bound to bring about significant change in monetary policy management in terms of money growth strategies, inflation and output growth overtime. The monetary policy will depend mainly on the objective of the umbrella regional monetary authority credibility in terms of managing inflation-output trade-off as result of monetary policy. The objectives of study are measuring the determinants of inflation, measuring output-inflation trade-off, monetary policy reaction function and money demand in EAC. The study used panel data for the period 1990-2010 covering 5 countries of the EAC. Static and dynamic panel data estimation methods were employed, namely: fixed effect model, Arellano-Bond dynamic panel model and systemic dynamic panel model by Arellano-Bover Model/Blundell-Bond. The result indicate that foreign price increases inflation while growth in GDP and M2 reduces inflation. The previous year inflation also contributed to subsequent year inflation. There exist output-inflation tradeoff and expected inflation tend to affect the existing inflation in EAC. Evidently, current inflation also had a positive influence on funds rates in the monetary policy reaction function. For money demand, previous year real money balance increase money demand in the current period while, fund rates had a marginal influence. In conclusion money, inflation and output interaction are pertinent to future stability of EAMU in the region

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 Nearly 80 per cent of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) expenditures are spent on three different measures: first pillar payments (FPPs), agri-environmental payments (AEPs) and less favoured area payments (LFAPs). Based on a dynamic panel model and farm accounting data for Bavaria, we find that, on average, 30 per cent of FPPs, 40–50 per cent of LFAPs, but no relevant share of AEPs are capitalised into land rental prices. The capitalisation ratio varies considerably across regions. Above average capitalisation ratios for FPPs are observed in more favourable areas with high yields, a low grassland share and large farms. The same is true for LFAPs for areas with high yields, large farms and a greater share of part-time farmers.

Technological progress has always been regarded as an important factor affecting haze pollution. A large number of academic studies have focused on the effect of technological progress on haze pollution, but there are few discussions on the effects of technological progress from different sources. In view of this, a dynamic panel model is constructed, and a systematic generalized method of moments (GMM) method is applied to empirically test the overall impact of technological progress from different sources on haze pollution and the regional heterogeneity of the impact. The results show that the overall and regional impact of technological progress from different sources on haze pollution is entirely different. Among them, for the whole country, independent innovation has a significant inhibitory effect on haze pollution, and technology introduction has aggravated haze pollution to a certain extent. At the regional level, all types of technological progress in the east can effectively reduce haze, the central region having haze reduction results consistent with the overall national level, and in the west, independent innovation and direct introduction can effectively reduce haze, while reverse technology spillover is ineffective. Therefore, policy recommendations such as improving the ability of independent innovation, improving the quality of technology introduction, and coordinating regional technology against haze are put forward.
