type="main" <p>This paper takes product complexity into account to study the impact of imported intermediate inputs on firms. Highly disaggregated Chinese transaction-level trade data and firm-level production data from 2002 to 2006 are used to construct firm-level imported intermediate inputs....</p>

The regulations on illegal logging issued by EU, USA and Australia etc. affect the international forest product trade which includes China. Based on the questionnaire survey, stakeholder’s interview and field investigation, the paper analyses the Chinese enterprises' response to the trade...

Shanghai, as the most advanced mega city in China, has launched a pilot carbon emission trading scheme (SH-ETS) that is designed to achieve a compromise between the domestic context in Shanghai, and a need for national policy appeal. This paper gives an overview of the latest progress of the...

The phenomenon of data loss always occurs in the analysis of large databases. Maintaining the stability of analysis results in the event of data loss is very important. In this paper, we used a segmentation approach to generate a synthetic signal that is randomly wiped from data according to the...

We study optimal contracting in a setting where a firm repeatedly interacts with multiple workers, and can compensate them based on publicly available performance signals as well as privately reported peer evaluations. If the evaluation and the effort provision are done by different workers (as...

A manager and a worker are in an infinitely repeated relationship in which the manager privately observes her opportunity costs of paying the worker. We show that the optimal relational contract generates periodic conflicts during which effort and expected profits decline gradually but recover...

Based on the current situation of ecological environment of agriculture in Tianjin City, we divide the ecological service function of urban modern agriculture in Tianjin City into seven types: air regulation, climate regulation, water conservation, soil formation and protection, waste disposal,...

We consider the problem of fairly dividing <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$l$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> divisible goods among <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$n$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> agents with the generalized Leontief preferences. We propose and characterize the class of generalized egalitarian rules which satisfy efficiency, group strategy-proofness, anonymity, resource monotonicity,...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

"The paper studies bidder behavior in simultaneous, continuous, ascending price auctions. We design and implement a "collusion incubator" environment based on a type of public, symmetrically "folded" and "item-aligned" preferences. Tacit collusion develops quickly and reliably within the...
