Abstract Coal-resource-based cites are known as resource-exhausted cities because of ecological depletion, economic dislocation and social iues after depletion of natural resources.Currently, the compensation for such cities in China is mostly on arbitrary policies rather than the scientific strategies.On the basis of the improved economic evaluation model on coal-resource-based cites, this paper has estimated the past cumulative coal value is $ 82,218,500 during 1998-2007 and the present compensation standard for Pingxiang city from 2008 to 2019 will be $42,786,100.Given the past cumulative coal value and the present compensation standard restrictions, a systematical compensation mechanism endowed with the cro-regional and cro-temporal characteristics, is correspondingly designed which provides a reference for the city sustainable development.Article Outline Uncited references References

Abstract Nowadays, sustainable economic development is the key iue in the world.In this paper, we take Shandong Province as an example to analyze the relationship between energy use, environmental quality and economic development.Through the study, we find that the correlation between nominal income per capita and environmental quality can be shown in Kuznets inverted U-shaped curve.After 2020, with per capita income increasing, total amount of environmental pollutants will decline slowly;The relationship between per capita income and discharge amount of sulfur dioxide is consistent with EKC theory and is shown in inverted U-shaped curve, but the per capita income has no similar pattern with the other three environmental indicators;Although efficiency of energy utilization in Shandong Province increased steadily in recent years, but the rapid economic growth heavily depends on natural resources, and extensive mode of economic growth remains.Irrational industrial structure is the main cause for structural unbalance of energy consumption and environmental degradation in Shandong Province.It is argued that readjusting industrial structure and improving environment system of environmental pollution are the primary iuesin the reform.Article Outline Uncited references References

Abstract As the largest developing country, China has been changing rapidly over the last three decades and its economic expansion is largely driven by the use of foil fuels, which leads to a dramatic increase in emiions of both ambient air pollutants and greenhouse gases(GHGs).China is now facing the worst air pollution problem in the world, and is also the largest emitter of carbon dioxide.A number of epidemiological studies on air pollution and population health have been conducted in China, using time-series, case-croover, cro-sectional, cohort, panel or intervention designs.The increased health risks observed among Chinese population are somewhat lower in magnitude, per amount of pollution, than the risks found in developed countries.However, the importance of these increased health risks is greater than that in North America or Europe, because the levels of air pollution in China are very high in general and Chinese population accounts for more than one fourth of the world's totals.Meanwhile, evidence is mounting that climate change has already affected human health directly and indirectly in China, including mortality from extreme weather events;changes in air and water quality;and changes in the ecology of infectious diseases.If China acts to reduce the combustion of foil fuels and the resultant air pollution, it will reap not only the health benefits aociated with improvement of air quality but also the reduced GHG emiions.Consideration of the health impact of air pollution and climate change can help the Chinese government move forward towards sustainable development with appropriate urgency.Article Outline 1.Level and trend of outdoor air pollution in China

Abstract The paper offers an updated picture of the policies implemented by the government of the Guangdong Province(China)to foster the industrial development and the technological upgrading of its territories.Among these policies is the promotion and the institutional acknowledgement of a growing number of industrial clusters, defined as “Specialised Towns”, characterized by a high spatial concentration of firms producing one specific item(or a limited range of similar products).In the view of the provincial and local governments these types of industrial development programs are used to increase firm agglomerations, spatial concentration and visibility, which in turn leads to increased specialisation, industrial output, innovation and economic growth.However, little specific empirical evidence has been collected to support this view and the debate, at the national and international level, on the effectivene of such interventions seems to be still largely ideological.The paper offers a contribution in this sense by offering a detailed description of the policy tools, by suggesting synthetic indexes to quantify policy efforts and industrial performances in Guangdong territories and by providing a first statistical analysis of these indexes.Article Outline 1.Introduction

Abstract Scenarios prediction provides an important reference for the Chinese government to develop low-carbon economy.Four critical factors, the per capita GDP, energy consumption, energy structure, and CO2 emiions,are mainly considered as the indicators to measure the level of low-carbon economic development.Meanwhile, based on LEAP model,the base scenario, low-carbon scenario,and frustrated low-carbon scenario are formulated to simulate China's low-carbon economic development level in 2050.The results show that the total terminal energy demands in the three kinds of scenarios are respectively 6.095 billion tons of standard coal, 5.236 billion tons of standard coal, and 6.239 billion tons of standard coal in 2050.The study indicates that China has achieved a considerable decrease in its CO2 emiions mainly due to improved energy intensity.In addition, fuel switching and renewable energy penetration also exhibit positive effect to the CO2 decrease.It is a more effective guarantee for achieving the goal of low-carbon economy to adjust the industrial structure, fully develop clean coal and coal technology, and improve energy efficiency.Article Outline Uncited references References

Abstract The paper examines the contentious iue of the extent of surplus labour that remains in China.China was an extreme example of a surplus labour economy, but the rapid economic growth during the period of economic reform requires a reaement of whether the second stage of the Lewis model has been reached or is imminent.The literature is inconclusive.On the one hand, there are reports of migrant labour scarcity and rising migrant wages;on the other hand, estimates suggest that a considerable pool of relatively unskilled labour is still available in the rural sector.Yet the answer has far-reaching developmental and distributional implications.After reviewing the literature, the paper uses the 2002 and 2007 national household surveys of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to analyse and explain migrant wage behaviour, to predict the determinants of migration, and to examine the size and nature of the pool of potential rural–urban migrants.An attempt is also made to project the rural and urban labour force and migration forward to 2020, on the basis of the 2005 1% Population Survey.The paper concludes that for institutional reasons both phenomena are likely to coexist at present and for some time in the future.Article Outline 1.Introduction 2.The Lewis model

Research Highlights ► A large pool of potential migrant labour remains in rural China.► There is some evidence of rising migrant wages.► These coexist owing to labour market heterogeneity and segmentation.► The labour force will decline over the next decade.► The tightening labour market will probably bring an endogenous policy response.44 The expansion of public health insurance and the demand for private health insurance in

Abstract This paper examines the impact of the New Cooperative Medical Scheme(NCMS)on private health insurance purchasing decisions in rural China, using longitudinal data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey(CHNS, 2000–2006).A Difference-in-difference(DID)approach is employed to estimate NCMS effects.The overall effects of NCMS were modest, but differed for adults and children.We find that adults were 2.1% more likely to purchase private health insurance when NCMS became available.NCMS had a larger positive effect on adult private coverage in higher income groups and in communities with a preexisting health care financing system, known as the Cooperative Medical Scheme(CMS).We also find evidence suggesting that NCMS crowded out child private health insurance, especially in lower income groups.However, this finding is not robust to controlling for other covariates including household characteristics and availability of private insurance in the community.For both adults and children, risk preferences and socio-economic status, including income and education, are important predictors of private insurance take-up.We find no evidence for adverse selection in the demand for private health insurance.Article Outline 1.Introduction

Abstract The goal of this article is to examine how the provincial education media in China play a role of forging consensus among local actors responsible for the implementation of new centrally-promulgated youth socialization policy.In doing so, it also explores the tension among three of the Chinese state's claims to legitimacy: economic development, moral education, and the decentralization of policy implementation.The article concludes that while economic development and decentralization create problems for the implementation of socialization policy at the local level, the central state still gains legitimacy for its role in promoting morality among the rising generation.Article Outline 1.Introduction
