The relation between wealth and health: Evidence from a world panel of countries

Based on a world sample of countries, this paper presents panel data evidence that documents a U-shaped relation between GDP per capita (wealth) and life expectancy (health). The evidence also shows that excluding the possibility of a nonmonotonic relationship induces erroneous conclusions about the time-varying wealth-health correlation.     

The impact of natural disasters on household income,expenditure, poverty and inequality: evidence from Vietnam

Natural disasters are expected exacerbate poverty and inequality, but little evidence exists to support the impact at household level. This article examines the effect of natural disasters on household income, expenditure, poverty and inequality using the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey in 2008. The effects of a natural disaster on household income and expenditure, corrected for fixed effects and potential endogeneity bias, are estimated at 6.9% and 7.1% declines in Vietnamese household per capita income and expenditure, respectively. Natural disasters demonstrably worsen expenditure poverty and inequality in Vietnam, and thus should be considered as a factor in designing poverty alleviation policies.     

Sustainability of nations by indices: Comparative study between environmental sustainability index, ecological footprint and the emergy performance indices

The present work makes a comparison between the two most used environmental sustainability indices of nations: “ecological footprint” and “environmental sustainability index”, with two emergy ratios (renewability and emergy sustainability index). All of them are gaining space within the scientific community and government officials. Despite the efforts for obtaining an index that adequately represents the sustainability of a region, according to the result of this research, nowadays there is not yet a completely satisfactory index. We consider that all of them need to be improved, but the results point out the possibility of obtaining one better index of sustainability through the junction of ecological footprint with renewability emergy index.     

数字经济、人才数字素养与制造业结构升级的互动关系——基于省级面板数据的PVAR分析

为厘清数字经济、人才数字素养与制造业结构升级之间的关系,基于2010—2019年中国内地31个省域面板数据,构建面板向量自回归(PVAR)模型,运用Granger因果关系检验、脉冲响应函数和方差分解,对三者之间的关系进行探究。结果表明,数字经济与制造业结构合理化和高级化均存在显著的相互促进作用;数字经济和制造业结构高级化对人才数字素养具有持续促进作用,制造业结构合理化对人才数字素养的促进作用不显著;人才数字素养未能有效发挥对数字经济、制造业结构合理化和高级化的促进作用。最后,从加快数字经济发展、促进人才数字素养提升和制造业结构升级等方面提出相关建议。     

沪深港股市动态联动性研究——基于三元VAR-GJR-GARCH-DCC的新证据

随着经济全球化的迅速发展,国际资本市场呈现出一体化趋势,各地证券价格的联动性也日趋显著。本文梳理已有理论文献,并总结经验成果的不足,在此基础上,构建三元VAR-GJR-GARCH-DCC整合分析框架,对沪深港股市联动效应进行了严谨而全面的实证检验。研究结果表明:沪深港三个市场具有联动效应,直接或间接引导对方;沪深股市对港市的新息冲击做出类似的反应,并且它们与港市的动态关联性具有趋同性,该结论为沪深两市合并提供了新证据;三个市场的相关性具有时变的动态特征,"中国因素"与"世界因素"的相关性正趋于增强。上述实证结论对投资者重新认识市场运行机制,合理制定投资策略以及监管当局有效防范国内外股市风险,推进股市整合均具有重要的启示意义。     

园林、风景与城市：近代城湖关系 变迁下西湖湖上园林的演进与转型

与传统的城市私家园林不同,杭州西湖湖上园林一直在一个更为复杂和动态的城湖大环境中发展与演化。民国初年“西湖入城”,使城湖空间不再隔绝,也加剧了园林、风景、城市互为影响、互为转化,最终演变成为一个新的有机整体。以郭庄及西泠印社2个具有代表性的湖上园林为分析对象,通过辨析园林中建筑与空间的变化,以及相应的公共游览与使用方式变迁,试图阐明当一个复杂的依托环境发生变化时,其中的园林是如何适应、演化及转变,而这一变化又是如何在园林空间格局、园林中心空间及园林空间的公共性使用3个层面来得以具体体现的。在这一演变过程中,西湖湖上园林也逐渐摆脱单一的园林身份,发展为园林、公共风景与城市生活空间的综合体,这最终造就了西湖湖上园林不同于其他江南传统园林的独特性与重要性。
