Over the past four decades of rapid economic growth since the reforms of 1978, China's hard power has increased swiftly. After its GDP overtook Japan's in 2010, China has been closing the gap to the United States.1 Despite a sharp increase during this period, however, China's soft power...
In order to identify the causal effects of urbanization and economic growth on electricity, I set up a dynamic general model to derive the optimal urban and rural electricity functions. Actually, theoretical background of them can be traced back to the general consumption function. Because the nat...
The higher the point-in degree of a province means that the more “resources” the province can absorb to resist external economic shocks, the more talent, capital and other factors can be gathered to recover from economic shocks as soon as possible, and the provinces that are experiencing ...
We begin our empirical analysis of the persistence of climate impacts on growth using ten lags of the first-differenced climate variables in fixed-effects distributed lag models. We detect substantial effects on economic growth at time lags of up to approximately 8–10 years for the temperature te...
This study examines the impact of green innovation, sustainable economic growth, and carbon emission on public health issues in Saudi Arabia. As Saudi Arabia is struggling to increase human development that also incorporates public health, it is importan

Countries may also intervene in markets to promote targeted industries, such as by creatingagglomerationsor reducing barriers to entry. This was common among East Asian countries in the 20th-century, which saw a development strategy known asexport-led growth. Today, the region has turned into a ...
A quick growth would lead to increased energy growth, although with perhaps more energy-efficient methods. A world with the same energy per capita use as the United States would require the world energy output to increase by a factor of about four. Research uncertainties are very large in ...
China also ranked second on the government serving the majority of its people.1 The poll results have justified the conclusions of several observers: for the Chinese people, democracy means that the government, in the process of decision-making, should always keep in mind the interests of the ...
11 Given the critical importance of growth to economic inclusion, we use the higher assumption for net zero, a scenario that could add an estimated 3 gigatons (Gt) of energy-related CO2 emissions in 2030 if historical relations of growth and emissions hold. This means that low-emi...
