摘要:
This paper examines the relationship between fertility and the gender gap in cognitive skills in a society where son preference is prevalent. Drawing on Becker’s Quantity-Quality trade-off model, we empirically test if the trade-off between quantity and quality of children is larger for daughters than that for sons. To consider the endogenous nature of the demand for children, we exploit an exogenous variation in fertility due to China’s family planning policy. We utilise the policy intensity information collected from hundreds of county gazetteers as an instrument for family size. The main results suggest that an additional sibling widens the gender gap in cognitive test scores by 33.2% of a standard deviation in the rural sample and 9.8% in the urban sample. The pattern is more pronounced in regions with a higher proportion of people who prefer a son over a daughter, and among households who face tighter budget constraints. We also provide suggestive evidence that our findings are strongly associated with belief in a son’s role to carry on family lineage in Confucian tradition.

摘要:
税收的效率损失及其变化,是一国税制结构的重要评价指标。本文首次构建了嵌入间接税的投入产出网络结构一般均衡模型,并创新性地提出间接税效率损失率的事后测方法。基于此,本文利用1992—2017年期间的中国投入产出表和税收等数据编制了与模型匹配的社会核算矩阵,进一步实证测算分析了中国间接税的效率损失及其变化,研究结果表明:(1)总体上,考虑到生产网络结构、微观替代弹性系数和间接税处理方式的影响,中国间接税效率损失率大致为0.5%-10%,进一步考虑到经济现实中成千上万企业的生产网络复杂联系,间接税效率损失率可能大于10%。(2)生产网络结构越复杂,间接税的效率损失率越大。在道格拉斯情景下,2017年149部门的效率损失率为0.8986%,是3部门的效率损失率(0.1811%)的5倍。(3)微观替代弹性系数越大,间接税的效率损失率越大。2017年149部门的替代弹性系数都为1的道格拉斯情景的效率损失率为0.8986%,而替代弹性系数都为4时的效率损失率为3.5942%。此外,新方法计算的间接税效率损失率远高于经典哈伯格方法计算的间接税效率损失率。(4)1992—2017年期间,中国间接税效率损失率呈阶段性特点。从1992年到2007年,伴随着分税制改革完成,加入WTO后深度融入全球经济体系,间接税效率损失率总体上呈下降趋势。从2007年到2017年,间接税效率损失率受金融危机的影响先上升,后受减税降费政策等政策影响而保持平稳或略有下降。

摘要:
We study the regulation of a monopolistic firm using a non-Bayesian approach. We derive the policy that minimizes the regulator’s worst-case regret, where regret is the difference between the regulator’s complete-information payoff and his realized payoff. When the regulator’s payoff is consumers’ surplus, he imposes a price cap. When his payoff is the total surplus of both consumers and the firm, he offers a capped piecerate subsidy. For intermediate cases, the regulator uses both a price cap and a capped piece-rate subsidy. The optimal policy balances three goals: giving more surplus to consumers, mitigating underproduction, and mitigating overproduction.

摘要:
Policy makers usually provide subsidies to encourage adoption of innovative technologies. The subsidies are often given out at the early deployment stage of a new technology and aims for sustainable growth of the industry. However, the adoption of new technologies always involves asymmetric information. As proved in Akerlof 1970, asymmetric information would lead to market shrinkage in a second-hand market. Using data from the electric vehicle (EV) market in China from 2015 to 2018, this paper demonstrates that the lemon market problem could also happen in a new product market. If more low-quality products enter into the market, consumers would form low beliefs on the entire technology, which would negatively affect all the firms in the market. Our results suggest that the EV market share could increase by 5 percent with a one percent decrease in the sales of low-quality EVs. A poorly-designed EV subsidy may generate negative impacts on the growth of the industry by encouraging the entry of lemons.

摘要:
We construct nowcasts and forecasts of China’s PPI inflation using a large panel of data series with different frequencies (monthly, ten-day, weekly, daily). Mixed frequency data are incorporated in the dynamic factor model in two approaches: one is to convert high frequency data to low frequency, which is monthly in our example, and apply the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm in estimation; the other is to treat low frequency data as high frequency (daily) data with missing observations in a specific pattern and apply Banbura and Modugno (2014) to estimate the dynamic factor model with missing observations. We compare the forecast accuracy of these two approaches with some other alternative forecasting models, such as random walk, univariate autoregressive model and dynamic factor model with only monthly data. Our empirical results show that the first approach outperforms other models in most cases and horizons. Models utilizing high frequency data generally perform better than those do not. As high frequency information flows in, the forecasting accuracy improves substantially.

摘要:
We study the impact of China’s 2013 implementation of Basel III on bank risk-taking and its responses to monetary policy shocks using confidential loan-level data from a large Chinese bank. Guided by theory, we use a difference-in-difference identification, exploiting cross-sectional differences in lending behaviors between high-risk and low-risk bank branches before and after the new regulations. We find that, through a risk-weighting channel, changes in regulations significantly reduced bank risk-taking, both on average and conditional on monetary policy easing. However, banks reduce risk-taking by increasing lending to ostensibly low-risk state-owned enterprises (SOEs) under government guarantees, despite their low average productivity.
