Fossil energy subsidies reform would be an effective way to improve the energy consumption structure; however, the reform needs to be assessed comprehensively beforehand as it would exert uncertain impacts on economy, society and environment. In this paper, we use price-gap approach to estimate...

This study attempts to examine the growth pattern of China's economy during 1978-98 from the perspective of income distribution dynamics. Motivated by the model of dynamic distribution, a transition matrix is derived from a panel of ratios of provincial real incomes to national averages across...

This paper uses both cross-sectional and panel data on Chinese provinces over the reform period 1978-1998 to examine the pattern of China’s regional economic growth on the basis of a theoretical model on convergence. We find a tendency to converge in terms of real GDP per capita both...

Credibility deficiency of food enterprises is a major threat for food security in China. Analysis of causes for the credibility deficiency of Chinese food enterprises, and construction of an effective quality security and credibility mechanism are not only the key to constructing a long-term...

Agricultural pollution has become the dominant source of water pollution in China and the carbon reduction in agricultural aspect is pressing. Based on list analysis method, the COD, TN and TP in agriculture in 28 provinces in China from 1995 to 2010 were evaluated and compared. By dint of...

This study attempts to examine the growth pattern of China’s economy during 1978-1998 from the perspective of income distribution dynamics. Motivated by the model of dynamic distribution, a transition matrix is derived from a panel of ratios of provincial real incomes to national averages...

In this paper, the weak form of the mathematical model of the traffic flow is adopted. Theoretical analyses of the discontinuous solutions of the red-and-green light models are discussed. The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method is used to numerically simulate the problems. The numerical...

This paper investigates stock market interdependence between China, Korea, Japan and the US with particular attention to the impact of the Chinese reforms within a 4x4 asymmetric GARCH-BEKК framework. We find a bi-directional market linkage between China and the US and uni-directional linkages...

We investigate field effect transistors (FETs) based on semiconducting armchair-edged silicene nanoribbons (ASiNRs) by using ab initio quantum transport calculations. These FETs have high performance with an I <Subscript>on</Subscript>/I <Subscript>off</Subscript> ratio of over 10<Superscript>6</Superscript> and a subthreshold swing as small as 90 mV/decade....</superscript></subscript></subscript>

Two-dimensional cellular automaton model has been broadly researched for traffic flow, as it reveals the main characteristics of the traffic networks in cities. Based on the BML models, a first-order phase transition occurs between the low-density moving phase in which all cars move at maximal...
