In the last 33 years after the People's Republic of China's (PRC) openness and reform, huge amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI) flowed into the PRC. The capital inflow and technology spillover in turn enabled outward FDI from the PRC. This paper gives a brief introduction to the PRC's...

Climate change is one of the main factors that affect runoff changes. In the upstream of Minjiang River, the temperature increased significantly in the last 50 years, while the precipitation decreased on the contrary. In order to analyze the effect of climate change on site runoff, watershed...

In this work, CuO doped red mud (CuO/URM) as particle electrode was applied in three-dimensional eletro-Fenton (3D/EF) system for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation. The operating conditions of CuO/URM dosage, initial pH, applied voltage and aeration intensity were investigated in detail. It was...

In this work, a low-cost and oxygen vacancies (OVs) enriched mixed metal oxide (M-RM/MMO) derived from red mud-based layered double hydroxide was applied as an efficient peroxydisulfate (PDS) activator to realize the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The optimal composite of M-RM/MMO-700...

The recent decline in gross domestic product (GDP) growth in India raised a debate about whether it is a trend or a business cycle slowdown. We observe a cyclical downturn post-global financial crisis due to external and domestic conditions. With global recovery strengthening and appropriate...

Advanced economies have a significantly longer history of using fiscal policy to tackle inequality and promote inclusive growth than those in developing Asia. Therefore, as developing Asia explores the more active use of fiscal policy for inclusive purposes, it can learn from the experiences of...

This paper assesses the effects of fiscal policy on both equity and growth, specifically whether it is possible to design fiscal spending so that it enhances equity without sacrificing economic growth and vice versa. A cross-country panel vector autoregression (PVAR) using the World Development...

This paper develops a framework to assess the growth and distribution effects of fiscal resources. Resources are classified as debt, other capital receipts, foreign aid and other unilateral grants, non-tax revenue, including resource rents, seigniorage, and taxes. The framework is used to assess...
