The vehicle miles of travel for each vehicle in multi-vehicle households is modeled as a function of household characteristics, vehicle characteristics, and the matches of vehicle to driver in the satisfaction of travel desires. A structural equations model is developed in which principal driver...

Globalization and economic transition in China have profound impacts on Chinese seafarers in terms of both employment structure and professional perspectives. Regarding the latter, a ‘new professionalism’ is emerging, which can be distinguished from the ‘traditional professionalism’ in...

Farmer innovation diffusion (FID) in the developing world is not simply the adoption of an innovation made by farmers, but a process of communication and cooperation between farmers, governments, and other stakeholders. While increasing attention has been paid to farmer innovation, little is...

We studied theoretic development of ecological civilization, and put forward the concept model of ecological civilization regulated by nature, society and government. In the construction of ecological civilization, the nature, society and government play different roles and have respective...

Regarding their participation in the global labour market, this paper draws attention to the complexity of Chinese seafarer composition and experience. How do they approach the opportunities available? What is the linkage between working for the national fleet and working onboard foreign...
