Energy resources and income inequality: determinants of income inequality in provincial China / Ming-Hsuan, Lee   Journal Article
Ming-Hsuan, Lee Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Previous studies have investigated the factors underlying China’s income inequality. However, an important factor—the influence of natural resources—has been overlooked. To reinforce understanding of the factors contributing to income inequality in China, this study examines the role of energy resources in income inequality. This study established a 2005–10 provincial panel data set and adopted a dynamic panel data model with system GMM (generalised method of moments) estimators as empirical strategies. The results demonstrate that provinces that are more dependent on energy resources exhibit higher levels of income inequality and the findings are robust under different measures of income inequality.

Spatial planning and its implementation in provincial China: a case study of the Jiangsu region along the Yangtze River plan / Wang, Lei; Shen, Jianfa   Journal Article
Shen, Jianfa Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Spatial planning is considered as an important governance instrument to cope with uncoordinated regional problems. This article explores the underlying rationale and mechanisms of spatial planning in provincial China through a case study of the Jiangsu region along the Yangtze River (JSYR) plan. It reveals that the practice of the JSYR plan reflected the changing strategic expression of the provincial government on regional development and was shaped by the contests between provincial and municipal governments. The planning policies and provincial economic and political mobilizations formed as a spatial policy framework that promoted plan implementation at the municipal level. The plan achieved development goals of overall economic growth and infrastructural construction, but it was ineffective regarding development control and regional coordination. The case study also sheds light on the dynamic relationship between provincial and municipal governments, and the structural problems of spatial governance under economic decentralization and political centralization in China.
