This paper explores the relationships between migration and trade using a complex-network approach. We show that: (i) both weighted and binary versions of the networks of international migration and trade are strongly correlated, (ii) such correlations can be mostly explained by country economic/demographic size and geographical distance, (iii) pairs of countries that are more central in the international-migration...
Recently, carbon emission abatement has been a key focus for environment-related policy making. However, it is very difficult for governments to set an appropriate abatement target and for economists to estimate how much emission reduction investment should be put. This paper first reviews existed measures of carbon emission abatement, and then surveys and argues emission-related research topics....
This paper empirically investigates the impact of the exchange rate volatility on the real export flows of China by using quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2010Q1. Co-integration and error-correction models are employed to obtain the estimates of the long run equilibrium and the short-run dynamics, respectively. Our results concerning the effects of exchange rate volatility on real exports suggest that...
Spillover effect of international trade is a crucial source of new technology for the South. This paper considers the transfer of technology from the North to the South that occurs through trade in high-technology goods and explicitly models the "reversing-engineering" process that allow the South to assimilate new technology, which is effected by the southern Intellectual Property Rights(IPR)...
With the rapid development of global trade, TBTs have already become the most important barriers to trade suffered by China. Stringent technical requirements drain the exporters' enthusiasm, and impede the technical innovation and market competition. We focus on the TBTs effects at the organization level, building theoretical models to analyze the short-run effects of new issued technical requirements...
This paper uses panel data on China's 30 provinces during 1995–2008 to examine trade liberalization's and economic growth's influence on the environment. There are three respects mainly to be considered in the analysis progress, which are scale effect, composition effect and technique effect. The study tells us: At first, the relationship between per capita income and industrial emissions is significant...
Based on the time-series data from 1978 to 2008 in China, the paper develops a VAR models and analyzes the long-terms equilibrium relation through co-integration test, Granger causality test and impulse response function From the view of export and import, product categories and trade patterns. The results show that: The first industry improve the primary products trade; the secondary industry increase...
Based on monthly data, Johansen multivariate cointegration methods and vector correction models (VEC) are applied to measure the impact of RMB effective exchange rate and its variability on total exports and exports classified by Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). RMB effective exchange rate variability is estimated by the conditional variance of GARCH-GED model, i.e., a generalized...
The study of commodity price behaviour has attracts the attention of many economists and finance specialists. This is due to the fact that many less developed countries rely on the revenues generated by the commodity exports. In this paper, the nonlinear relationship because of regime shifts in four vegetable oil price series was investigated. The multivariate Markov switching vector autoregressive...
This paper discusses the question of whether or not an economy that depends on exhaustible resources can possibly attain sustainable development. In section II, we consider an economy with two kinds of exhaustible resources, namely, exhaustible natural resource and garbage dump. The two kinds of resources will be exhausted according to the Hotelling's rule. We explore how they are interrelated. In...
This paper empirically analyzes the effect of import trade spillover on the industrial energy consumption intensity, based on a panel of 32 industrial sectors for 1998-2007.The results show that research and development spillovers embodied in imports have indeed contributed to a decrease of industrial energy intensity both in high and low energy consumption intensity group in China. This paper will...
The basic picture and framework of the transnational interregional Input-Output (I-O) table cross countries is introduced, and conventional impact analyses will be conducted to capture cross-border transactions and inter-linkages, from one region to another region, and vice versa. Also, the relationship between regional linkages and the import/export trades will be investigated. The I-O tables-received...
Free Trade Zone (FTZ) is a special economic zone that an international businesses can apply to optimize its supply network. Before international businesses apply FTZs, they need to consider the cargo-flows between their business partners in industrial parks. In this research, we develop an economics evaluation model for the international business using the FTZs. At first, the cargo-flows are analyzed...
Due to the rapidly rising ratio of dependence on foreign trade, China's economic growth risk is increasing continuously. This paper analyzes the effect of widening gap of income distribution in china by establishing a simple and applicable theoretical model. The widening gap of income distribution results in shortage of domestic demand, speedy increasing of investment and the internal structural imbalance...
This paper explains the mechanism that intellectual property protection affects import trade, and investigates the impact of intellectual property right protection on import trade by using inter-provincial panel data in China. The empirical results show that the relationship between patent protection system and high-tech products imports is significant and positive, stronger patent protection system...
This paper analyzes and compares more than 100 countries' purchasing power parity and exchange rate of 2005 with 1993 and 2005 as the benchmark year respectively, based on the data from the International Comparison Program (ICP). The results reveal that: (1) For a developing country, the exchange rate gradually tents toward the purchasing power parity given a period of sustained rapid economic growth...
This paper examines the performance of the Chinese strategic trade policies, which are featured with active export promotion. We assume that the strength of strategic trade policies as well as the abilities of exports can be captured by “net export ratio”, and comparative advantages can be measured by “revealed symmetric comparative advantage” index. Using...
Many developing countries have experienced rising skill demand and wage inequality after trade liberalization, which opposite the predict of Stolper-Samuelson theorem. In this paper, we explain this puzzle from the view of technology spillovers of international trade. We firstly present a technology spillover model with imported intermediate goods from industrial countries. It concluded that, technology...
This year is the fiftieth anniversary of China-Africa agricultural cooperation. China and Africa are highly complementary in the agriculture resources, markets and technologies. After fifty-year development, China-Africa agricultural cooperation has yielded great results; the bilateral trade of agricultural products is developing rapidly and potentially. This paper systematically analyzes the determinants...
In this paper, we firstly construct export competitiveness index to measure China's manufacturing export competitiveness with the method of Balassa, Secondly, we propose two theoretical hypothesis how technological innovation and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) influence export competitiveness, thirdly, we construct econometric model to empirically analyze the effects of technological innovation and...
