Is the circular economy merely a technical issue independent of political factors? This study moves beyond the technical dimensions of circularity to explore its political determinants. While a limited number of studies have examined institutional quality indicators, a significant gap remains in the political and institutional dimensions of the circular economy. This study is the first to investigate the impact of association and organization rights (AOR) on circular economy development. Covering 30 European countries from June 2000 to 2022, the analysis examines whether AOR facilitates the transition to a circular economy. Additionally, the study accounts for key socio-economic factors, including income level, inequality, population density and trade openness. The findings indicate that AOR positively influences the circular economy transition. Moreover, income level, population density and trade openness exhibit positive effects, whereas inequality has a negative impact. Robustness checks using an alternative AOR measure confirm these results. The findings highlight the importance of political freedoms in fostering circularity and suggest that enhancing AOR could create a win–win opportunity for achieving sustainability goals, particularly in Europe and globally.

循环经济是否只是一个独立于政治因素的技术问题?这项研究超越了循环的技术维度,探索其政治决定因素。虽然数量有限的研究审查了体制质量指标,但在循环经济的政治和体制方面仍然存在重大差距。本研究首次探讨了协会组织权对循环经济发展的影响。从2000年6月到2022年,该分析涵盖了30个欧洲国家,研究了AOR是否有助于向循环经济过渡。此外,该研究还考虑了关键的社会经济因素,包括收入水平、不平等、人口密度和贸易开放程度。研究结果表明,AOR对循环经济转型具有正向影响。收入水平、人口密度和贸易开放程度对经济增长具有正向影响,而不平等程度对经济增长具有负向影响。鲁棒性检查使用替代AOR测量证实了这些结果。研究结果强调了政治自由在促进循环中的重要性,并建议加强AOR可以为实现可持续发展目标创造双赢的机会,特别是在欧洲和全球。

Historically, the Nordic countries have been renowned for their generous and altruistic foreign aid policies. Since the 2010s, significant transformations in aid budgets, policy instruments and policy objectives have taken place. This paper analyses one of the Nordic countries, Denmark, and tests whether substantive shifts in aid allocation are evident. Drawing on panel data from 2000–2019, including 168 recipient countries, a Tobit regression analysis is applied. The findings indicate that commercial considerations have grown more prominent as business interests have influenced aid allocations significantly after 2010, in addition to an increased focus on fragile regions, reflecting concerns linked to strategic self-interest. At the same time, Danish aid consistently prioritizes low-income countries. The findings resonate with current developments among other donors, indicating a broader tendency and the emergence of a business-oriented logic in development assistance.

历史上,北欧国家一直以慷慨无私的对外援助政策而闻名。自2010年代以来,援助预算、政策工具和政策目标都发生了重大转变。本文分析了北欧国家之一的丹麦,并检验了援助分配的实质性转变是否明显。利用2000-2019年的面板数据,包括168个受援国,采用Tobit回归分析。调查结果表明,商业考虑变得更加突出,因为商业利益在2010年之后对援助分配产生了重大影响,此外还增加了对脆弱地区的关注,反映出与战略自身利益有关的关切。与此同时,丹麦的援助始终优先考虑低收入国家。调查结果与其他捐助方目前的发展情况一致,表明发展援助中出现了一种更广泛的趋势和面向商业的逻辑。

This study explores how asset transfer programs influence the psychological well-being (PWB) of ultra-poor women in rural Bangladesh. Using an adapted version of Ryff's PWB model, culturally tailored to this population, the study analyses data from 1800 households. Results show significant gains in self-acceptance, autonomy and environmental mastery among program participants. These improvements are closely tied to enhanced economic well-being such as increased income and asset ownership. The findings highlight the broader benefits of asset transfer programs beyond economic gains on mental well-being and offer a novel, context-specific tool for assessing the psychological health of women in low-income settings.

本研究探讨了资产转移计划如何影响孟加拉国农村极端贫困妇女的心理健康。该研究使用了Ryff的PWB模型的一个改编版本,在文化上为这一人群量身定制,分析了来自1800个家庭的数据。结果显示,项目参与者在自我接纳、自主性和环境掌控方面取得了显著的进步。这些改善与经济福祉的提高密切相关,如收入和资产所有权的增加。这些发现强调了资产转移项目在心理健康方面的经济收益之外的更广泛的好处,并为评估低收入环境中妇女的心理健康提供了一种新颖的、具体情况的工具。

Heterogeneity and Drivers of Chinese Manufacturing FDI in Africa: Evidence From Angola and Ethiopia 中国制造业在非洲直接投资的异质性及其驱动因素:来自安哥拉和埃塞俄比亚的证据

This article examines the heterogeneity and drivers of Chinese manufacturing foreign direct investment (FDI) in Africa through a comparative analysis of Angola and Ethiopia. Drawing on 8 years of fieldwork (2015–2023), it develops a typology distinguishing market-embedded firms from global production network (GPN)-integrated firms, linking firm characteristics to host-country institutional and policy contexts. This relational–institutional approach addresses limitations in conventional FDI frameworks that overlook variation within similar ownership categories and the influence of local institutional environments. The analysis shows how firm strategies, ownership structures and integration into global or local markets interact with sectoral conditions and industrial policies to shape divergent investment trajectories. Ethiopia's structured, export-oriented strategy has attracted GPN-integrated light manufacturers, while Angola's post-war, market-driven environment has favoured domestically oriented and diaspora-led ‘translocal’ enterprises. By integrating firm-level diversity with host-country contexts, the article contributes to debates in FDI, GPN and Global China scholarship, offering insights for targeted industrial policies that maximise developmental outcomes.

本文通过对安哥拉和埃塞俄比亚的比较分析,考察了中国制造业在非洲的对外直接投资的异质性和驱动因素。根据8年的实地调查(2015-2023),该研究开发了一种区分市场嵌入式企业与全球生产网络(GPN)集成型企业的类型,将企业特征与东道国的制度和政策背景联系起来。这种关系-制度方法解决了传统外国直接投资框架的局限性,即忽视了类似所有权类别内的差异和当地制度环境的影响。分析显示了企业战略、所有权结构和融入全球或当地市场如何与行业条件和产业政策相互作用,从而形成不同的投资轨迹。埃塞俄比亚以出口为导向的结构化战略吸引了gpn一体化的轻型制造商,而安哥拉战后以市场为导向的环境则有利于以国内为导向和侨民主导的“跨地方”企业。通过将企业层面的多样性与东道国背景相结合,本文有助于FDI、GPN和全球中国奖学金的讨论,为有针对性的产业政策提供见解,使发展成果最大化。

This study analyses the short- and long-run determinants of cotton yields in Mali using a vector error correction model (VECM). Results reveal a stable long-term equilibrium relationship between cotton yields and key macroeconomic, institutional and climatic variables. Agricultural input subsidies have a strong positive effect, confirming the vital role of public support in sustaining productivity. Agricultural GDP growth also positively influences yields, likely through improved rural infrastructure and services. Rainfall has a moderate but significant effect, though it is subject to climatic variability. Interestingly, the FCFA/USD exchange rate shows a strong positive association with yields, potentially reflecting gains in export competitiveness and public support adjustments. World cotton prices exert mixed effects, while state-guaranteed prices show limited influence, suggesting that producer responses are shaped more by structural and environmental factors than domestic price signals. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of targeted subsidies, macroeconomic stability and climate resilience for enhancing cotton productivity in Mali. These results highlight the need for integrated policy strategies that reinforce input systems, promote climate resilience and stabilize macroeconomic conditions to sustain cotton sector performance in Mali.

本研究使用矢量误差修正模型(VECM)分析了马里棉花产量的短期和长期决定因素。结果表明,棉花产量与主要宏观经济、制度和气候变量之间存在稳定的长期均衡关系。农业投入补贴具有很强的积极作用,证实了公众支持在维持生产力方面的重要作用。农业GDP增长也可能通过改善农村基础设施和服务对产量产生积极影响。降雨虽受气候变化的影响,但影响不大,但意义重大。有趣的是,FCFA/USD汇率与收益率呈强烈正相关,这可能反映了出口竞争力的提高和公众支持的调整。世界棉花价格的影响好坏参半,而国家担保价格的影响有限,这表明生产商的反应更多地受到结构性和环境因素的影响,而非国内价格信号。总体而言,研究结果强调了有针对性的补贴、宏观经济稳定和气候适应能力对提高马里棉花生产力的重要性。这些结果突出表明,需要制定综合政策战略,加强投入系统,提高气候适应能力,稳定宏观经济条件,以维持马里棉花部门的业绩。

Climbing the Coffee Global Value Chain—Three Decades of Trade and Upgrading 攀登咖啡全球价值链——三十年贸易与升级

Developing countries frequently struggle to generate wealth from trade in agri-commodities such as coffee, where the end price of a cup of coffee sold in Berlin or New York returns only a fraction of the value to the actual coffee grower. With this in mind, we investigate this phenomenon using unique cross-border data for 28 years (1991–2018), where coffee is represented in its various formats, from unprocessed ‘green’ coffee beans to the roasted and soluble products. In so doing, we derive a measure of functional upgrading. Analogously, we report the extent to which countries upgrade their coffee production, adding value to their raw coffee exports (product upgrading). Our data reveal that many coffee cultivating countries are unable to capitalize on the boom in roasted coffee exports—losing out on the upswing in high-end consumption. Conversely, we find that Asian countries are more likely to climb the coffee GVC, while many African countries remain exporting green coffee. Interestingly, coffee cultivating countries with higher levels of industrialization and reduced distance to processing hubs, all things equal, are associated with higher value added. The coffee variety cultivated also plays a crucial role as does the trade policy pursued.

发展中国家往往难以从咖啡等农产品贸易中创造财富,在柏林或纽约销售的一杯咖啡的最终价格,只会给咖啡种植者带来价值的一小部分回报。考虑到这一点,我们使用28年(1991-2018)的独特跨境数据调查了这一现象,其中咖啡以各种形式呈现,从未加工的“绿”咖啡豆到烘焙和可溶性产品。在此过程中,我们得出了功能升级的度量。类似地,我们报告了国家升级其咖啡生产的程度,增加了其生咖啡出口的价值(产品升级)。我们的数据显示,许多咖啡种植国无法利用烘焙咖啡出口的繁荣——错失了高端消费的上升机会。相反,我们发现亚洲国家更有可能攀登咖啡全球价值链,而许多非洲国家仍然出口生咖啡。有趣的是,在其他条件相同的情况下,工业化水平较高、与加工中心距离较短的咖啡种植国,其附加值更高。种植的咖啡品种和所追求的贸易政策也起着至关重要的作用。

Wang Li, Jie Weng

Rural income inequality is a significant barrier to social equity and sustainable economic development, particularly in pursuing common prosperity and urban–rural integration. Using China Family Panel Studies data and the rural digital development index, this study finds that rural digital development significantly reduces rural income inequality. Human capital enhancement, land transfer facilitation, non-agricultural employment and financial participation are key channels. The mitigation effect is particularly strong in eastern regions, higher-educated households and younger and middle-aged families, benefiting primarily low- and middle-income groups. Our results emphasize digital infrastructure's importance in promoting inclusive growth and contributing to rural revitalization and common prosperity.

农村收入不平等是社会公平和经济可持续发展的重要障碍,特别是在实现共同富裕和城乡一体化方面。利用中国家庭面板研究数据和农村数字发展指数,本研究发现农村数字发展显著降低了农村收入不平等。人力资本提升、土地流转便利化、非农就业和金融参与是关键渠道。缓解效应在东部地区、受教育程度较高的家庭以及中青年家庭尤为明显,主要惠及中低收入群体。我们的成果强调了数字基础设施在促进包容性增长、促进乡村振兴和共同繁荣方面的重要性。

This paper empirically examines the impact of public debt and fiscal deficit on public health spending efficiency (PHSE) using data from 36 Sub-Saharan African countries between 2000 and 2019. PHSE scores are calculated via bias-corrected data envelopment analysis (bootstrap DEA), and a beta regression approach estimates the effects of debt and deficit on PHSE. Findings indicate that most SSA countries have low PHSE scores. Higher public debt and fiscal deficits are negatively associated with PHSE. The impact varies with fiscal rules adoption and public financial management performance. Results are robust across different samples, efficiency measures, estimation methods and additional controls.

本文利用2000年至2019年36个撒哈拉以南非洲国家的数据,实证研究了公共债务和财政赤字对公共卫生支出效率(PHSE)的影响。通过偏差校正数据包络分析(bootstrap DEA)计算PHSE分数,并使用beta回归方法估计债务和赤字对PHSE的影响。研究结果表明,大多数SSA国家的PHSE得分较低。较高的公共债务和财政赤字与PHSE呈负相关。其影响因财政规则的采用和公共财务管理绩效而异。结果在不同的样本、效率测量、估计方法和附加控制中都是稳健的。

Household resilience can play a role in mitigating the adverse effects of natural disasters on child nutrition. The study reveals that natural disasters detrimentally impact children's nutrition. However, children residing in resilient households exhibit a reduced likelihood of malnutrition compared to those in less resilient households. Moreover, in the event of a shock, children from resilient households demonstrate better outcomes than their counterparts in less resilient households. By dissecting the components of resilience, the study identifies that households with greater assets and access to social safety nets are adept at alleviating the detrimental effects of shocks. This analysis underscores the significance of household resilience in safeguarding child nutrition during times of crisis.

家庭复原力可在减轻自然灾害对儿童营养的不利影响方面发挥作用。研究表明,自然灾害对儿童的营养有不利影响。然而,与韧性较弱家庭的儿童相比,生活在韧性家庭的儿童出现营养不良的可能性较低。此外,在发生冲击时,韧性家庭的儿童比韧性较弱家庭的儿童表现出更好的结果。通过剖析韧性的组成部分,该研究发现,拥有更多资产和社会保障网络的家庭善于减轻冲击的有害影响。这一分析强调了家庭复原力在危机时期保障儿童营养方面的重要性。

Infrastructure projects are considered a primary source of economic growth, stimulating trade and investment, and supporting national development goals. While these projects offer numerous benefits, they also raise significant socioeconomic challenges for the local communities. This study investigates the impact of infrastructure development on sustainable livelihoods within the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project framework. The research examines the factors that influence the income and livelihoods of the local population potentially affected by the project. Utilizing primary data and a generalized least squares (GLS) model, the study quantifies these factors' impact on the affected population's income and living standards. The analysis reveals several significant socioeconomic and geographical influences on local living standards. These factors include pre-existing income levels, educational attainment, household size, proximity to development projects and technological awareness. Notably, geographical proximity to infrastructure projects plays a key role, with income levels and living standards decreasing as the distance from projects (road infrastructure, economic zones and energy projects) increases. Conversely, living standards improve with higher educational attainment (both for individuals and family members) and greater experience. Interestingly, technological awareness also emerges as a significant factor. Individuals who are comfortable using social media and mobile phones and have experience in information technology have seen marked increases in their income levels. Based on these findings, the study recommends continued investment in infrastructure projects alongside targeted initiatives. These initiatives should include educational programs that focus on relevant skills and provide affordable access to technology, complemented by programs that promote digital literacy and awareness.

基础设施项目被认为是经济增长的主要来源,刺激贸易和投资,支持国家发展目标。虽然这些项目带来了许多好处,但它们也给当地社区带来了重大的社会经济挑战。本研究调查了中巴经济走廊(CPEC)项目框架内基础设施发展对可持续生计的影响。该研究考察了可能受该项目影响的当地人口的收入和生计的影响因素。利用原始数据和广义最小二乘(GLS)模型,该研究量化了这些因素对受影响人口收入和生活水平的影响。分析揭示了对当地生活水平的几个重要的社会经济和地理影响。这些因素包括先前的收入水平、受教育程度、家庭规模、与发展项目的接近程度以及对技术的认识。值得注意的是,与基础设施项目的地理距离起着关键作用,随着与项目(道路基础设施、经济区和能源项目)的距离增加,收入水平和生活水平也会下降。相反,生活水平随着受教育程度(个人和家庭成员)的提高和经验的丰富而提高。有趣的是,技术意识也是一个重要因素。那些习惯使用社交媒体和移动电话并有信息技术经验的人,他们的收入水平显著提高。基于这些发现,该研究建议在实施有针对性的举措的同时,继续投资基础设施项目。这些举措应包括以相关技能为重点的教育项目,并提供负担得起的技术获取途径,辅之以促进数字素养和意识的项目。
