Abstract Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party-state has established a number of policies on social organizations. Some policies are complementary, whereas some seem to be contradictory. These policies are associated with two policy approaches. The first is...

Microstructure of WC reinforced Ni-based self-fluxing alloy composite coating sprayed and fused by oxy-acetylene flame was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray Spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. The wear performance of the...

Here the experimental technique for measuring the thermal conductivity of nanofluids at the temperatures above 100 °C has been developed, and a systematic research on the thermodynamic properties including thermal conductivity, viscosity, specific heat and density, of the graphene-dispersed...

In this second of a series of three working papers, we use a simple neoclassical growth model to illustrate how consumption, investment, and output -- more broadly, the entire dynamic equation system of a model -- can be strongly influenced by alternative specifications of a reaction function...

The research reported in this set of three working papers focuses on different assumptions about the intertemporal behavior of government policymakers. In particular, we carefully study alternative specifications of intertemporal fiscal closure rules and their impacts on the effectiveness of...

To extend the research on Gibrat's law in transformational countries, this article uses quantile regression to test whether the Law holds for Chinese listed companies in six industries from 1997 to 2003. Results indicate that Gibrat's law demonstrated a behaviour dependent on the length...
