摘要：
Improving the living environment through household efforts remains a challenge for many developing countries. Little attention has been given to the role of Internet use in previous studies. Based on the Attitude Behavior Context (A-B-C) theory, this paper builds a theoretical framework where Internet use affects residents' adoption of living environment improvement practices (LEIPs). Using large-scale household survey data from China, this paper adopts the recursive bivariate probit model to overcome the endogeneity biases and investigate the treatment effects of Internet use on residents' adoption of integrated flushing toilets (IFT) and centralized disposal of domestic waste (CDDW). The results indicate that Internet use increases the likelihood of adopting IFT and CDDW by 24.5% and 19.0% respectively for Internet users. Besides, the counterfactual results show that the possibility of adopting IFT and CDDW will increase by 28.8% and 26.4% respectively if they use the Internet. Moreover, residents who are female, the CPC members, having more years of education and higher household income are more likely to adopt LEIPs. Additionally, the results show evidence of regional heterogeneity. Overall, the impact of Internet use on LEIPs adoption is larger for residents in less-developed and urban areas. The findings suggest that policies embedded with expanding Internet access shall help to promote the sustainable improvement of residents' living environment.

摘要：
Although there is a growing recognition of the Internet's role in promoting environmental sustainability, the impact of social media use on low-carbon behavioral intentions remains poorly understood. Based on the survey data for 1,056 contemporary college students from 9 universities in China, this paper examines how social media use affects their intentions regarding low-carbon behaviors. An IV-Ordered Probit model is employed to account for the endogeneity issue and generate accurate estimates. The results indicate that, overall, the frequency of social media use has a significantly positive impact on college students' intentions to adopt low-carbon behaviors, mainly by improving their subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. Additionally, considerable heterogeneities are observed among students of different genders and grades. Knowledge, concern, and belief regarding climate change also have a significant effect on behavioral intentions. Finally, this paper proposes several policy recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of social media in promoting low-carbon behaviors.

摘要：
The global spread of COVID-19 has led to profound reflection on building a global public health security system. This paper uses the urban data collected during the COVID-19 epidemic in China in 2020 to evaluate the effect of the National Sanitary City (NSC) policy on the prevention and control of that epidemic at different stages. We found that the NSC policy was able to curb the occurrence and transmission of the epidemic the epidemic effectively after controlling a series of factors such as urban characteristics, population mobility and pathogen transmission. Compared with non-NSCs, the NSCs were better able to control the number of infected people and the infection rate and transmission rate, and this performance was even more impressive when the epidemic gradually entered the sporadic distribution stage. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the impact of the NSC policy on the prevention and control of COVID-19 differs according to the economic development level and population size. To a certain extent, the NSC policy has blocked the spread of viruses by continuously improving the urban medical and health system and strengthening the publicity concerning infectious disease prevention and control knowledge.

摘要：
Aiming at large-scale decision-makers (DMs) and the loss of decision sample information in large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM), a novel statistical estimation method incorporating the reliability and entropy of linguistic distribution assessment is proposed. First, classify the large-scale DMs into several subgroups according to their prior decision efficiency distribution. After clustering, collect the five-number summary of the incomplete decision sample information provided by the DMs in the subgroups. Second, estimate the mean, standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis of the decision sample via the Cornish–Fisher expansion. Then utilize the Bayes estimation to address the reliability of the subgroups, thereby obtaining the confidence interval, which is used to develop the interval linguistic distribution preference relation (ILDPR) for the subgroups. Moreover, combine the reliability and the entropy measure constructed by the above four estimators to determine subgroup weights. Furthermore, present the expectation and variance of the ILDPR to sort the alternatives. Finally, demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed LSGDM method based on a case and a comparison.
摘要：
Epidemic shocks have brought the issue of household economic vulnerability to the fore. Furthermore, an urgent need to establish a long-term mechanism to particularly help low-income groups cope with risk shocks, and minimum wage policies should be able to play an important role. Therefore, based on CHFS panel tracking data in 2015, 2017, and 2019, the impact of the minimum wage increase on household economic vulnerability and its mechanism of action is empirically tested. We found that for every 10% increase in the minimum wage, the probability of economic vulnerability occurring in the household economy decreases by 2.81 percentage points because the minimum wage increase raises the household income level of low-income groups, improves the health status of household members, and increase their commercial health insurance, emergency savings and financial capital stock. This impact is more significant for rural households, households in areas with high marketization levels, better rule of law levels and with low education levels. The article's research helps to comprehensively analyse the welfare effects of minimum wage policies and expand the policy options for helping low-income groups cope with risk shocks.(c) 2023 Economic Society of Australia, Queensland.

摘要：
This paper studies the transmission of oil price uncertainty (OPU) shock to real economic activities by focusing on the role of financial condition. We find that financial stress is an important link in the propagation of OPU shock based on China’s macro- and firm-level data. We document significant decrease in real economic activities as oil price uncertainty increases by using SVAR, and further suggest that the contractionary effect of oil price uncertainty is more pronounced under high financial stress. Firm-level evidence consistently shows that heightened financial distress cost – resulted from oil price uncertainty – suppresses investments. OPU shock may cause financial distress through mechanisms of credit crunch, firm volatility and exchange rate uncertainty.
