Personal carbon trading (PCT) is a downstream cap-and-trade scheme used to reduce carbon emissions from the household sector. It is argued that the PCT scheme could provide a buffer between the energy price and the total energy price, and thus energy demand remains stable. However these effects...

Promoting green transition in social life and consumption is an effective way to achieve the goal of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”. The current academic community has paid extensive attention to the green way of production while not paying enough attention to the green transition of...

Abstract: The digital economy is progressively emerging as the new driving force behind Chinese economic and social advancement. Whether the digital economy can drive the green transformation development still requires further exploration. Drawing on the data of 275 prefecture-level cities in...

Slope stability is conventionally regarded as mainly relating to the configuration of slip surface in the limited equilibrium method and the bearing capacity theories. However, few studies are reported to study a different way of propagation of a slip surface with the same configuration might...

As an environmental supervision model with Chinese characteristics, the environmental protection interview of central government has emerged in recent years and attracted the attention. However, whether environmental protection interview can really curb air pollution remains to be answered. This...

This paper considers the problem of model averaging for regression models that can be nonlinear in their parameters and variables. We consider a nonlinear model averaging (NMA) framework and propose a weight-choosing criterion, the nonlinear information criterion (NIC). We show that up to a...

We propose a new ensemble classification algorithm, named super random subspace ensemble (Super RaSE), to tackle the sparse classification problem. The proposed algorithm is motivated by the random subspace ensemble algorithm (RaSE). The RaSE method was shown to be a flexible framework that can...

Rapid urbanization, and particularly the associated problems of urban poverty, unsustainable development and environmental degradation, pose an enormous challenge to many developing countries. In the last decade more foreign aid has been diverted to urbanization and green city development. This...

We develop and estimate a dynamic model to study the impact of student debt on education, career, and marriage market choices of young female lawyers. Our model accounts for several important institutional features of the labor market for lawyers, including differences in the work hours across...
