Through establishing various types of economic entities and endowing them with abilities to react and make decision, the whole system will evolve to new conditions in response to policy change. Compared with different scenarios, it can be concluded that when raising taxation ratio, sectoral scale will shrink to some extent. But supported by government expenditure, certain sectors could be kept in comparatively larger production scale.展开更多

We chose Hebei province as a case to study, utilized standard methods from WHO/HAl and built interrupted time series (ITS) model to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the effects of NEMP in Hebei province from the utilization of essential medicines. Shortly after implementing EMP, the purchasing and utilization rate of essential medicines significantly increased, but no further continuous effects. In order to perfect the essential medicine policy, training of rational drug utilization should be strengthened, hierarchical essential medicine list and dynamic monitoring on the effect of NEMP are necessary.展开更多

The superimposed effect of an aging population and low birthrate leading to a reduction in the labor supply would have a fundamental influence on the long term balanced development of China's population, implying that China's population policy must be adjusted. This paper argues that a gradual relaxation of the family-planning policy adjustments accords with the original intention of the population policy design and development direction. The universal second-child policy is the logical results of the adjustment and improvement of China's family-planning policy, and is designed to bring about positive effects on future demographic and economic development, particularly in sustaining the long term balanced development of China's population, easing the marriage squeeze, extending the demographic dividend, and delaying the population aging process. China needs to develop and improve support and governance systems for fully implementing the universal second-child policy, realizing the policy transition from rewarding one-child families to population security and the modern transition of governance systems and capacity to a universal second-child policy.展开更多

The most critical debate related to educational accountability has examined the various standards used to evaluate teachers' accountability in the United States (U.S.), specifically in terms of whether student achievement should be included when evaluating teacher accountability. Similar to the U.S., in South Korea, various governmental efforts have sought to diversify and solidify standards for teacher evaluation. Debate might emerge as to whether or not student performance should be included in teacher evaluation in South Korea in order to emphasize stronger accountability. Thus, this paper examines how the tie between teacher evaluation and student achievement in South Korea relates to growth rates in individual student achievement. To this end, this study conducts a micro-level analysis focusing on the effects of individual schools' teacher evaluation policy on individual students' achievement. The analysis uses 2,655 teachers in 150 middle schools as well as data on 5,677 middle school students' math and reading test scores from the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study (KELS), implemented by the Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI). This study provides insights into the implications of teacher evaluation policies in South Korea by highlighting the effectiveness of tying such a policy to changes in students' achievement. This examination speaks to the timeliness of research in terms of including students' achievement in the teacher evaluation policy, which is also closely related to other policy changes, such as performance-pay systems in school organizations.展开更多

Its main contents include advocating late marriage and late childbirth, fewer and better births, so as to control China's population in a planned and reasonable way and make it increase in an orderly way. In the middle of the 20th century, due to the end of the Second World War and the improvement of universal medical care, China's fertility rate has increased significantly. In the 1970s, it has reached the peak of China's population growth, and problems such as labor surplus and food shortage began to emerge gradually. The family planning policy was put forward under this background and effectively controlled the problem that China's population increased too fast at that time. Nowadays, with the development of the society, aging population and low fertility rate occur. There are more and more voices of open birth policy. So the population policy is also constantly improving and adjusting. In 2014, China began to carry out the two-child policy, and in early 2016, it began to implement the universal two-child policy. The adjustment of China's population policy can be said to cater to the historical trend and conform to the objective laws, and its effect and influence are also very significant. Including economic development, supporting issues, education issues and other fields, the future adjustment and development of family planning policy can also be said to be dynamic and sustainable. This paper mainly introduces the changes of China's family planning policy adjustment since the reform and opening up, the influence and future trend of this policy, and teases out the thinking and context of China's population policy development.展开更多

Discussions are ongoing on how to measure the effectiveness of policy implementation at the local level. But there is no definitive theory of effective policy implementation, and very few frameworks have been found acceptable as the basis of an analysis of the effectiveness of policy implementation, especially on droughts. Based on the 2009–2010 extreme drought in Yunnan, China, this article presents a modified framework to assess the effectiveness of policy implementation by defining policy, practice, and performance, as well as a feedback loop by which to share the lessons learned. Water conservancy projects in Luliang County and the agricultural diversity program in Longyang County in Yunnan Province were analyzed from a farmers' perspective. It was found that farmers are highly dependent on government policies and projects, and the effectiveness of policies is measured by short-term, immediate, and tangible benefits rather than long-term adaptation strategies. The results highlight the urgent need to reduce risks by developing better awareness about climate change and drought and its impacts, increased understanding of drought hazards, and implementation of appropriate measures for long-term adaptation.展开更多

摘要The 13 th Five-Year Plan(2016─2020), with the balanced development of population being the core element, is crucial for China. The superimposed effect of an aging population and low birthrate leading to a reduction in the labor supply would have a fundamental influence on the long term balanced development of China's population, implying that China's population policy must be adjusted. This paper argues that a gradual relaxation of the family-planning policy adjustments accords with the original intention of the population policy design and development direction. The universal second-child policy is the logical results of the adjustment and improvement of China's family-planning policy, and is designed to bring about positive effects on future demographic and economic development, particularly in sustaining the long term balanced development of China's population, easing the marriage squeeze, extending the demographic dividend, and delaying the population aging process.

摘要Experts in the field of educational policy have identified accountability as an important educational issue. The most critical debate related to educational accountability has examined the various standards used to evaluate teachers' accountability in the United States (U.S.), specifically in terms of whether student achievement should be included when evaluating teacher accountability. Similar to the U.S., in South Korea, various governmental efforts have sought to diversify and solidify standards for teacher evaluation. Debate might emerge as to whether or not student performance should be included in teacher evaluation in South Korea in order to emphasize stronger accountability. Thus, this paper examines how the tie between teacher evaluation and student achievement in South Korea relates to growth rates in individual student achievement. To this end, this study conducts a micro-level analysis focusing on the effects of individual schools' teacher evaluation policy on individual students' achievement. The analysis uses 2,655 teachers in 150 middle schools as well as data on 5,677 middle school students' math and reading test scores from the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study (KELS), implemented by the Korean Educational Development Institute (KEDI). This study provides insights into the implications of teacher evaluation policies in South Korea by highlighting the effectiveness of tying such a policy to changes in students' achievement. This examination speaks to the timeliness of research in terms of including students' achievement in the teacher evaluation policy, which is also closely related to other policy changes, such as performance-pay systems in school organizations.

摘要Family planning policy is a basic state policy written into the Constitution and formally implemented in the 1980s. Its main contents include advocating late marriage and late childbirth, fewer and better births, so as to control China's population in a planned and reasonable way and make it increase in an orderly way. In the middle of the 20th century, due to the end of the Second World War and the improvement of universal medical care, China's fertility rate has increased significantly. In the 1970s, it has reached the peak of China's population growth, and problems such as labor surplus and food shortage began to emerge gradually. The family planning policy was put forward under this background and effectively controlled the problem that China's population increased too fast at that time. Nowadays, with the development of the society, aging population and low fertility rate occur. There are more and more voices of open birth policy. So the population policy is also constantly improving and adjusting. In 2014, China began to carry out the two-child policy, and in early 2016, it began to implement the universal two-child policy. The adjustment of China's population policy can be said to cater to the historical trend and conform to the objective laws, and its effect and influence are also very significant. Including economic development, supporting issues, education issues and other fields, the future adjustment and development of family planning policy can also be said to be dynamic and sustainable. This paper mainly introduces the changes of China's family planning policy adjustment since the reform and opening up, the influence and future trend of this policy, and teases out the thinking and context of China's population policy development.

摘要The dominant role of the US dollar as a global currency allows the Federal Reserve's monetary policy to significantly influence economic and financial dynamics in other countries through mechanisms such as exchange rates,interest rates,and capital flows.This paper examines how shifts in the Federal Reserve's policy can precipitate economic disruptions in peripheral nations,potentially heightening the risk of systemic financial crises.By utilizing the directed acyclic graph(DAG)technique and network topology analysis,we explore the dynamic evolution of systemic risk within global financial markets from a network perspective.Our findings reveal that the US financial market is a net exporter of risk spillovers,whereas China predominantly receives these volatility transmissions.Such systemic financial risks prove contagious across markets.In the wake of Federal Reserve adjustments,China's financial markets invariably experience impacts,compelling them to align with U.S.policy rate changes and thereby compromising China's monetary policy independence.

摘要The global climate crisis has become the focus of attention,and China vigorously pursues low-carbon economic development,for which the implementation of green finance is continuously enhanced,so does the development of green finance contribute to low-carbon economic development?This paper constructs a green finance and low carbon economic development index system containing several indicators,and measures them using the entropy weight method of spatial-temporal extreme difference.This paper conducts an empirical study based on the data of 30 provinces and cities from 2005 to 2020,and the results of the study find that green finance has policy incentive effect and institutional incentive effect,and can significantly and positively affect the development of low-carbon economy,and the findings still hold after endogeneity test and robustness test.The mechanism test shows that green finance can influence low-carbon economic development by promoting industrial structure upgrading,green technology innovation and FDI inflow;moreover,the positive promotion effect of green finance is more obvious in the western region and non-Yangtze River Economic Zone region;finally,the moderating effect test reveals that the institutional environment and the level of technology market development can enhance the relationship between green finance and low-carbon economic development.

摘要Greenhouse gas emission regulation and renewable energy promotion policies have been implemented in many countries.Yet these two kinds of regulation policies have complex interactions between each other,and can either enhance or reduce the overall emission reduction efficiency.If not well tuned,these regulation policies may deviate from their original intention and lead to unnecessary social cost.Hence,the policy effectiveness,cost effectiveness,and dynamic efficiency of different policy mixtures between emission trading and renewable energy subsidy are studied based on a novel dynamic simulation platform of power economy and power system.Simulation results show that these two kinds of regulation policy can coexist,but a good coordination between the emission trading and the renewable energy subsidy can achieve better emission reduction outcomes.

摘要The synergistic reduction of wastewater greenhouse gases(GHGs)and pollutants presents a critical environmental challenge.Understanding the synergistic efficiency and the factors that influence it is crucial for informed policy-making,but methods for assessing this efficiency are currently lacking.This study evaluates the synergistic efficiency in China from 2009 to 2019 using the elastic coefficient method,and assesses strict water policy impacts using double machine learning(DML).Results indicate that before 2015,China experiences synergistic increases,which shift to non-synergistic following the implementation of a strict water policy in 2015.Despite improved wastewater treatment rates,this policy paradoxically increases GHG emission intensity,leading to a“water-carbon”contradiction,especially in water-scarce,poorly enforced,and underdeveloped regions.The policy effect on GHG emission intensity is most influenced by wastewater pipeline infrastructure,followed by socioeconomic development,technological innovation,and industrial structure.Inefficiencies in GHG emission reductions are due to expanded wastewater treatment facilities and lower industrial energy efficiency.Conversely,higher salaries and technological advancements facilitate emission reductions.To achieve the synergy of effluent pollution and GHG reduction in the wastewater sector,provincial control priorities into four patterns are explored.This study provides guidance for low-carbon retrofitting of existing wastewater treatment plants and informs the design of effective water policies.

摘要Several research efforts have focused primarily on policy implementation and improving innovative actions to address disaster risks. Discussions are ongoing on how to measure the effectiveness of policy implementation at the local level. But there is no definitive theory of effective policy implementation, and very few frameworks have been found acceptable as the basis of an analysis of the effectiveness of policy implementation, especially on droughts. Based on the 2009–2010 extreme drought in Yunnan, China, this article presents a modified framework to assess the effectiveness of policy implementation by defining policy, practice, and performance, as well as a feedback loop by which to share the lessons learned. Water conservancy projects in Luliang County and the agricultural diversity program in Longyang County in Yunnan Province were analyzed from a farmers' perspective. It was found that farmers are highly dependent on government policies and projects, and the effectiveness of policies is measured by short-term, immediate, and tangible benefits rather than long-term adaptation strategies. The results highlight the urgent need to reduce risks by developing better awareness about climate change and drought and its impacts, increased understanding of drought hazards, and implementation of appropriate measures for long-term adaptation.
摘要Circular economy (CE) has been put fonvard as an important environmental and resource strategy in China.Aiming at the high utilization rate of resources and reduction of pollutants,CE means to realize a shift of fundamental paradigm.With the mode of production and consumption from linear to recycling model,the promotion requires transdisciplinary researches which integrate technological,ecological,social-cultural and other sciences.The present study focuses on the implementation of circular economy from an institutional perspective.Institution acts as a crucial factor by providing incentives for technical innovation,leading investment orientation and determining policy effectiveness,etc.This paper mainly discusses about: firstly,the feature of institution,institutional changes and institutional innovation is articulated,together with eco-industrial park strategy,extended producer's responsibility and dematerialization principle as innovative institutional arrangements; secondly,as policy plays great role on institutional changing process,the mechanism of policy implementation is needed to be related; as a result,coevolution of institutions and policies is thus presented; at last,a pilot attempt is made to find out some operational avenues in accomplishment of CE through both theoretical and practical methodology,special resolutions are put forward after some projecting difficulties and dilemmas in China are described.

摘要At present,strengthening the coordination between fiscal policy and monetary policy is China’s primary means of expanding domestic demand.Identifying the optimal policy mix is crucial for improving macroeconomic regulation and pursuing progress while ensuring stability in China’s economic development.Under the Rubin Causal Model(RCM)framework,this paper employs a semi-parametric method that combines propensity score weighting with local projections to identify China’s fiscal and monetary policy mixes from 2000 to 2020 and to estimate their impact on economic growth and financial risks.The results indicate that the mix of proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy performs best in balancing multiple objectives,such as stabilizing growth,preventing risks,and expanding domestic demand.Further transmission mechanism analysis reveals that this policy mix drives real consumption and investment through income and expectation channels.Meanwhile,it promotes economic growth and constrains credit expansion to reduce macro-leverage ratios,effectively preventing and containing financial risks.This paper provides a quantitative basis for strengthening the coordination of fiscal and monetary policies,offering more precise policy choices and feasible paths for pursuing economic progress while ensuring stability.In the long run,barring extreme external shocks,the mix of proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy remains the primary choice for China to coordinate stable growth and risk prevention.If short-term economic pressure necessitates phased adjustments to the policy mix,attention must be paid to the dynamic coordination of aggregate and structural tools to improve the precision of policy regulation.
