Despite high economic growth during the past decades, China is still vulnerable to shocks arising from industrial states. The advanced economies strongly influence Chinese export performance, with subsequent effects on output growth. Using a production function, this article examines to which...

The Chinese economic development affects GDP growth and inflation in the advanced countries. The size of the effects is inferred from multivariate time series and structural econometric methods. In particular, the GVAR and the NiGEM are employed to examine the interdependencies between the...

The article investigates the determinants of consumer price inflation in China. While inflation has been entirely driven by international factors, such as food and energy prices, in the period preceeding the financial crisis, domestic drivers like monetary developments and nominal wages have...

The Penman–Monteith (P–M) equation has been widely used to predict crop water use or evapotranspiration (ET) due to its simplicity and biophysically robust framework. Surface conductance (Gs), a key variable reflecting crop physiological and soil physical responses to changing environment,...

The temporal patterns of evapotranspiration (ET) and its biophysical and physiological controls (e.g., soil water content, solar radiation, and canopy conductance) occur over a wide range of time-scales ranging from seconds to decades. Thus, there is increasing interest in understanding at which...

The Chinese stock market features an interesting history of divided market segments: domestic (A), foreigners' (B) and overseas (H). This puts forth questions of market integration as well as cross-divisional information transmission. We address these issues in a structural DCC framework, an...

Accurate determination of evapotranspiration (ET) is useful to develop precise irrigation scheduling. Although eddy covariance (EC) is a direct method which is widely used to measure ET, its performance in arid region of northwest China is not clear. In this study, ET measured by EC (ETEC) was...

Large areas of vineyards have been established in recent years in arid region of northwest China, despite limited water resources. Water to support these vineyards is mainly supplied by irrigation. Accurate estimation of vineyard evapotranspiration (ET) can provide a scientific basis for...

The accurate partitioning of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) into two components, soil evaporation (Es) and transpiration (Tr), is needed to better understand terrestrial hydrological cycles and develop precise irrigation scheduling. However, there is no easy way to distinguish between the two....
