The purpose of the paper was to analyze the influence of corn 'price-subsidy separation' policy on the stability of pork supply chain, so as to maintain the stability of pork supply market. Based on the panel data of 19 major corn producing provinces in China from 2012 to 2021, the impact of corn 'price-subsidy separation' policy on the stability of pork supply chain in China was tested by double difference method. The results show that, on the basis of controlling a series of other factors, with the increase of corn price, the implementation of corn 'price-subsidy separation' policy could positively improve the stability of pork supply chain in China, and the improvement effect was about 0.042. Further study showed that the policy of 'price-subsidy separation' of corn has obvious influence on the upstream stability of pork supply chain, and the upstream stability of pork supply chain had increased by 0.106 7% after the implementation of the policy. The study indicates that 'price-subsidy separation' policy of corn can promote the stability of pork supply chain in China, and the effect is stronger in the upstream of pork supply chain.

The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China mentioned that China is facing tightening resource and environmental constraints, environmental pollution, and other issues, and the energy-consuming right trading policy is a key measure to promote green, circular, and low-carbon development in China. Under the dual consideration of ecological benefits and economic benefits, this paper took the pilot launch of energy-consuming trading as a quasi-natural experiment and used panel data from 31 provinces in China from 2009 to 2020 and the different-in-differences method to explore the impact of this policy on the optimization and upgrading of China's industrial structure. The study showed that: (J) The energy-consuming right trading policy could promote the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure, and the promotion effect on the upgrading of the industrial structure outweighed its adverse impact on the rationalization of the industrial structure, as evidenced by a series of robustness tests. © The mechanism analysis showed that the realization paths of industrial structure upgrading were the upgrading of technological innovation and that of energy consumption structure, and the policy suppressed the adverse impact on the rationalization of industrial structure by improving the input structure and output structure of some industrial sectors. © In addition, the pilot policy of energy-consuming rights had obvious regional heterogeneity for the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, which significantly promoted the upgrading of industrial structure in the central and western regions and the rationalization of industrial structure in the eastern regions. This study provides some policy references for the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure from the perspective of improving the energy-consuming right trading market.

Clarifying the spatial interaction of China' s urban environmental quality upgrading and analyzing its internal incentive mechanism and external spillover effects have important practical significance for promoting the linkage mechanism of regional environmental governance and the high-quality development of new urbanization. Existing literature mainly analyzes the spatial relevance of urban environmental quality but the literature does not test the peer effects and mechanism. Using the panel data of cities at prefecturelevel and above in China from 2003 to 2019, this paper introduced the peer effects hypothesis to verify the spatial characteristics of urban environmental quality upgrading and constructed a spatial econometric model to test the peer effects and mechanism. The results showed that: ① The environmental quality of geographical, economic, and administrative neighboring cities had significant positive peer effects, especially in geographically neighboring cities. The results were still robust by replacing the explained variables, spatial weight matrix, sample and model estimation methods, etc. ② The urban environmental quality level was identified by the Jenks natural break point classification method, and the supplementary test model was used to explore peer effects of environmental quality upgrading between cities with different quality levels. The results showed that cities would learn from each other and learn from experience in upgrading their environmental quality, and cities with higher levels of environmental quality were more likely to be imitated. ③ Further mechanism testing showed that urban learning mechanisms such as the internal learning effect and external demonstration effect would weaken peer effects, and the performance of high-quality cities was particularly obvious. Competition mechanism such as environmental regulation and external impacts such as new environmental quality standard policies, innovative city trials, and the opening of highspeed rail would all strengthen peer effects, and low-quality cities had the greatest strengthening effect. Based on the above research conclusions, this paper proposes that, firstly, peer effects of urban environmental quality upgrading should be scientifically understood, and it is necessary to build and improve a regional urban pollution prevention and control joint mechanism. Secondly, full attention should be paid to learning and imitating behaviors concerning different types of urban environmental quality. Thirdly, we should also pay attention to the reinforcement of environmental regulations and exogenous shocks to peer effects of environmental quality upgrading. Fourthly, we should truly exert the influence of external factors on urban environmental quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the tourism industry investment and socio-economic panel data, using standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Theil coefficient, and regression model, this paper reveals the spatial-temporal characteristics of tourism industry investment change and its driving force in China from 2000 to 2017. The results show that; ➀ The tourism industry investment achieves significant growth, and the absolute difference of tourism industry investment between different years shows a widening trend, but its relative difference shows convergence. ➁ On the spatial scale, the growth of tourism investment is not synchronized, and the tourism industry investment polarization is more prominent in the region. The eastern region has an absolute dominant position. The intra-regional and inter-regional differences of tourism industry investment recover to varying degrees, but its shrinking trend does not change. ➂ The contribution rate of the intra-regional difference to the overall difference is the highest, which is largely due to the unbalanced growth of tourism industry investment in the region. Moreover, the driving force of tourism industry investment presents regional heterogeneity. In the eastern and central region the driving force of industrial structure is the strongest, while in the western region the driving force of economic growth is the largest. ➃ In different periods, the driving force of national tourism industry investment is quite different. The industrial structure is the primary driving force, followed by the scale of tourism market and social wealth. The driving effect of economic growth needs to be strengthened, and the tourism consumption demand has the weakest driving effect Finally, according to the results, some differentiated suggestions on regional tourism industry investment policies are put forward.

[Objective] The present paper aims to understand the development situation of dairy market in western China from the two dimensions of supply and demand of dairy products, and find out the specific methods and measures to further improve the food safety regulation of dairy market under the background of supply-side structural reform. [Method] Based on the panel data of dairy products supply, demand and regulation in the western provinces from 2013 to 2017, the paper constructs an index system which reflects the three levels, adopts the standard scoring method to quantitatively analyze the development degree and regulation level of dairy products market in the western region, and condenses the regulatory mode of the region. [Result] The study finds that the western region's dairy products supply and demand level showed a good development trend, by contrast, the regulatory level was low. In a certain period of time, the regulation mode of dairy products in the western provinces was relatively stable, and the type of regulation mode was gradually concentrated. [Conclusion] In order to solve the problem of limited regulatory resources, we can consider establishing trans-provincial regional regulatory agencies of the central level among provinces with the same type of regulation mode, which can improve regulatory efficiency [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Promoting the industrial transformation and upgrading of resource-based cities is an important condition for solving the dilemma of widening economic development differences and serious destruction of ecological resources between regions, and to achieve regional coordinated development strategy. From the new perspective of factor mismatch, this article discussed the economic transformation of resource-based cities. In theory, a growth model describing the factor input of resource-based cities was constructed, and the influence mechanism of factor mismatch on urban output efficiency, environmental efficiency and energy efficiency was investigated. In the empirical aspect, based on the panel data from 2005 to 2018 and using the improved Directional Distance Function (DDF), this article calculated the transformation efficiency of 114 resource-based cities in China from the five dimensions of labor, capital and energy input, expected output and non-expected output, and then tested the exact impact of factor mismatch on the transformation of resource-based cities. The results showed that whether it was over-allocation or under-allocation, factor mismatch had a significant inhibitory effect on the economic transformation efficiency of resource-based cities, and the inhibitory effect of labor mismatch was particularly obvious; after dealing with endogenous problems, changing analysis samples, replacing explained variables, and changing regression methods, the research conclusions still had strong robustness. Transformation efficiency was further decomposed in the three directions of output growth, energy consumption and environmental friendliness. It was found that the mismatch of various factors would hinder the improvement of energy efficiency and environmental efficiency, but different from labor mismatch and energy mismatch, the negative impact of capital mismatch on output efficiency was insignificant. According to the classification of resource-based cities in different geographical regions, it was found that the impact of factor mismatch on transformation efficiency would be significantly different in different geographic regions. Based on the problems in the transformation of resource-based cities, this article puts forward policy suggestions from the three levels of country, city and industry, and emphasizes the importance of improving the allocation efficiency of labor factor. This paper not only provides a new insight into the explanation of the transformation dilemma faced by resource-based cities, but also provides useful reference for strategy formulation and policy adjustment to promote the high-quality development of resource-based cities in the new era.

Existing studies mainly focus on exploring the ‘inclusive effect’ of digital finance in the process of technological innovation, but generally ignore the ‘network effect’ of digital finance empowerment. Based on China’s inter-provincial panel data and threshold regression technology, this paper empirically examined the nonlinear empowerment mechanism of digital finance to promote the development of green innovation. The results of this study showed that: during the study period, digital finance significantly drove China ’s green innovation and the empowerment effect of the eastern and central regions was much higher than that of the western regions, indicating that the ‘inclusive effect’ of digital finance was significant; the empowerment effect of digital finance on green innovation had a positive dynamic evolution process from weak to strong, but this kind of ‘network effect’ characteristic mainly appeared in the eastern and western regions, while the central region showed a positive ‘U’-shape nonlinear pattern; and the nonlinear empowerment effect of digital finance on green innovation had a heterogeneous and strengthened adjustment mechanism. It had positive and increasing marginal efficiency characteristics under the adjustment of urbanization, fiscal transparency, and residents’ income level. It was manifested under the constraints of urban-rural income gap and economic growth targets. Under the influence of technology introduction, it presented a positive inverted a ‘U’-shaped characteristic. At present, only by continuously improving fiscal transparency, residents’ income, and urbanization level, continuously narrowing the urban-rural income gap, and keeping the economic growth target and technology introduction at a reasonable level, can we maximize the green innovation effect empowered by digital finance. This article has discovered the coexistence of the ‘inclusive effect’ and ‘network effect’ of digital finance empowerment in the process of green innovation. The relevant conclusions may provide local governments with a ‘Digital Finance Express’ during the 14th Five-Year Plan period to accelerate the development of green innovation.

⑴ Background——Green credit is the main part of China’s green finance system. The interaction between green credit and technology innovation is an important driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the forestry industry structure, and also an important means to realize the high-quality development of modern forestry. To discuss the specific effects of green credit and technology innovation on China’s forestry industry structure can provide a theoretical basis for the high-quality development of modern forestry. ⑵ Methods——This paper proposes the research hypotheses by analyzing the potential impact mechanism of green credit (hpc) and forestry technology innovation (tepscore) on the forestry industry structure (nfishc）. Based on the panel data of 28 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) from 2008 to 2019,the static FGLS fixed effects model of C-D production function is used to explore the interaction effects of green credit and technology innovation on the forestry industry structure. Meanwhile, in order to solve the possible endogeneity problem of the model and analyze the influence of interaction terms on the interrelation between green credit and technology innovation, the lagged terms of the explained variables are added and the dynamic system GMM model is used to estimate the interaction of green credit and technology innovation on the forestry industry structure. ⑶ Results——Firstly, green credit and forestry technology innovation both play a significant role in promoting the forestry industry structure. Among them, every 1% increase in the level of green credit will increase the forestry industry structure by 0. 126%,every 1% increase in the level of forestry technology innovation will increase the forestry industry structure by 0. 114%. Secondly, the interaction between green credit and forestry technology innovation can indeed enhance their effects of promoting the optimization of forestry industry structure, what’s more, green credit and forestry technology innovation are threshold variables to each other and both of them have a single threshold effect on forestry industry structure. In particular, when the proportion of high energy-consuming interest expenditure is less than 3. 914,there will be a certain scale effect and agglomeration effect. Every 1% increase in the level of forestry technology innovation, the forestry industry structure will significantly increase by 0. 249%. However, when the effect of interaction terms on green credit and forestry technology innovation is further examined, it is found that the development of green credit is not conducive to forestry technology innovation and forestry technology innovation also has a significant negative impact on green credit. Finally, the analysis of the effect of control variables on the forestry industry structure shows that in the process of forestry production, only increasing labor input (fen) has a little effect on the forestry industry, and the effect is not significant. Excessive financial intervention (finf) is not conducive to the transformation of forestry structure. Urbanization level (urban), opening degree (op) and forest coverage rate (fcr) may not only promote the consumption and trade of the forest products, but also adversely affect the forestry industry economy. ⑷ Conclusions and Discussions——First, constantly optimize the investment environment of green credit and give full play to the role of financial regulatory departments in guiding and encouraging banks to develop green credit. Banks should actively implement green credit policies, taking credit scale, structures and efficiency into accounts to lead the development of forestry green enterprises. Second, based on the development status of forestry enterprises, continue to increase the cultivation of the innovative subjects, improve the level of human capital in forestry, promote the upgrading of forestry industry structure. Third, increase the investment in forestry research and development and education of forestry talents, improve the conversion rate of forestry technology patents, and pay attention to the deep integration of forestry technology innovation and forestry green credit to realize the high-quality development of forestry economy.

In order to examine the effects of urban construction land agglomeration on urban construction land-use efficiency, this paper adopted the stochastic frontier method to measure the urban construction land-use efficiency, based on the panel data of 278 cities in China from 2003 to 2017. The varied influence mechanisms of different degrees of urban construction land agglomerations on landuse efficiency were studied based on double fixed spatial Durbin model. The results showed that: ① From the perspective of spatio-temporal characteristics, the urban construction land-use efficiency in China generally reflected a trend of steady improvement during the study period, with the highest in the eastern region, followed by the western region and the lowest in the central region. ② Based on the regression results of national data, the scale effect and spillover effect induced by urban construction land agglomeration could improve the utilization efficiency of urban construction land. ③ Based on the analytical results of different groups, the direct effect of the highagglomeration cities (in the eastern developed region) implied that the improvement of urban construction land agglomeration could enhance the land-use efficiency. For the indirect effect, the promotion of construction land agglomeration in a city had an inverted Ushaped effect on the land-use efficiency of the surrounding cities. The direct and indirect effects of low-agglomeration cities (in the less developed regions in central and western China) indicated that the land-use efficiency was characterized by a U-shaped curve, accompanying with the improvement of urban construction land agglomeration. The results suggest that urban construction land agglomeration has a differentiated impact on urban land-use efficiency in different development periods. Therefore, policymakers should formulate differentiated land supply policies based on the characteristics of current development period in order to improve the urban construction land agglomeration. Moreover, policymakers should take targeted measures to enhance regional utilization efficiency of land in order to further sustain socioeconomic development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Overseas investment in agriculture is an important part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The research on the characteristics of USA's overseas investment in agriculture can provide scientific basis for a better use of domestic and international markets and resources, not only for drawing on USA's development experience, but also for responding and adapting to the investment behavior of major competitors. Based on the Outward Foreign Direct Investment theory, this paper adopts the logistic model and panel data analysis method to study the spatiotemporal pattern and influencing factors of USA's overseas investment in agriculture from 2000 to 2018, and discusses its policy implications for China's agricultural cooperation. The results show that: firstly, the USA's overseas investment in agriculture is mainly distributed on food processing and other pre- and post- production processes, mainly concerning developed countries such as Western European countries, as well as some neighbor developing countries such as Mexico and Brazil. Secondly, USA's overseas investment in agriculture showed a significant market orientation. In the meantime, it is also affected by geographical and cultural distance, national governance and other factors of the host country. Thirdly, in comparison of differences between China and the USA in characteristics of overseas investment in agriculture, considering the goal of China's international agricultural cooperation under the background of current international economic and trade situation, we suggested that China should further optimize the layout of agricultural industry chain, which will advance the implementation of sustainable development goals set by the United Nations and increase China's pricing power and channel control in the field of global food security. Furthermore we should explore the existing overseas agricultural investment market, reduce the geopolitical competition pressure and fully tap into potential market opportunities, focus on the agricultural technology demands of the BRI countries and region, and ensure that investment objectives are consistent with the investment demands of the host country. More importantly, it is necessary to solve practical problems faced with China's overseas investment in agriculture such as large cultural and institutional differences, which will improve the sustainability of agricultural cooperation projects under the BRI.

In order to survive and develop in the fierce global competition, firms are supposed to e both efficiently responding to the demands of the short-term market and innovatively adapting o the long-term market, which requires organizational ambidexterity. The "structure" within the existing researches on the impact on organizational ambidexterity refers to the organizational structure rather than the governance structure. There are mainly two conflicting ways towards he understanding of the relationship between exploration and exploitation, i. e., trade-off or orthogonality, and until now researchers have not arrived at any consensus. Since previous studies on organizational ambidexterity have ignored the importance of corporate governance and he ambiguity of the relationship between exploration and exploitation, this study tries to explore he relationship between governance structure and corporate performance from the perspective of he effect of the trade-off and orthogonal relationship between exploration and exploitation, thus revealing the mechanism of corporate governance impact on both short- and long-term performances through the balancing effect and combined effect of exploration and exploitation. n this paper, the panel data of US and China listed companies cover the years 2006-2011. The FLGS is adopted to avoid the bias of autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity. The following findings indicate that in the US samples, both monitoring and incentive alignment of corporate governance have positive effects on the balancing effect of exploration and exploitation while in he Chinese samples, incentive alignment has positive effects on the balancing effect of exploration and exploitation but monitoring a negative impact, that is, the higher the monitoring, he less balance between exploration and exploitation. This may be due to the relatively low level of exploratory behavior in China, which is difficult to increase at present. As a result, with the high level of monitoring, the agent has to increase exploitation to cope with the increased use of strict monitoring without much improvement of the exploration level, thus leading to the larger gap between them. Neither monitoring nor incentive alignment has an evident effect on the combined effect in both American and Chinese samples, which demonstrates that the combined effect is far more difficult to achieve than the balancing effect. In the American samples, the balancing effect and the combined effect of exploration and exploitation positively influence both long-term and short-term performances, while in the Chinese samples, it is only the balancing effect that plays a positive role in both long- and short-term performances but the combined effect s evident only on short-term rather than on long-term performance, which seems to show that he balancing effect instead of the combined effect is suitable for China at present. The mediation ole of the balancing effect between corporate governance and the long- and short-term performances has been partially proved, but the mediation role of combined effects has not been found. This study is an extension of the existing research about organizational ambidexterity, and provides a comparison of corporate behavior differences between US and China listed companies. Owing to the limited data availability, one shortage of this paper is that there is only one variable o represent incentive alignment. Future research may use more variables to test the hypothesis.
