Large factor models use a few latent factors to characterize the co-movement of economic variables in a high-dimensional data set. High dimensionality brings challenges as well as new insights into the advancement of econometric theory. Because of their ability to effectively summarize...

This article summarizes China’s limited involvement in ISDS system, discusses the issues revealed and explores the implications of China’s policy and practice toward ISDS for stakeholders. Some issues are China-specific, such as status of SAR investor and IIAs, while some issues are among...

Declining maternal fertility desire has been recognized as a key factor in understanding China’s sharp drop in realized fertility. Using results from a nationally representative survey, this paper presents the first causal evidence on the relation between maternal education and fertility...

In this paper, we consider the multi-period joint capacity allocation and job assignment problem. The goal of the planner is to simultaneously decide on allocating resources across the J different supply nodes, and assigning of jobs of I different demand origins to these J nodes, so as to...

21.1 The Chinese legal framework on energy regulation Since 1979, China has been progressively reforming its economic system, with a view to establishing and improving a "socialist market economy". Accordingly, China has been actively promoting market-oriented reform in the energy sector by...

Cu 2 O@SnS 2 heterojunction photocatalysts with one-dimensional hierarchical nanostructure were prepared by solvothermal method. The Cu 2 O@SnS 2 hierarchical nanostructure is composed of Cu 2 O nanowire core as well as in situ grown ultra-thin SnS 2 nanosheets on Cu 2 O nanowires. Compared with...

High sensitivity plays a crucial role in the development of wearable electronic devices. For fiber-based wearable sensors, the sensitivity mainly depends on the conductive properties and surface structure of the fibers. Researchers have made great progress in exploring novel structures and...

In this study desigs a new of orthogonal decagonal ring three-dimensional cutting force sensor. First, the viability of the sensor structure is established and the prototype is fabricated by theoretical analysis and simulation verification. Then the strain gauges are pasted to the orthogonal...

SnO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely employed as electron transport layers (ETLs) in planar n-i-p perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Perfect SnO 2 ETL/perovskite interface plays a key role in high efficiency PSCs, however, the main issues caused by the self-aggregation of the SnO 2 NPs and the...

China pledges to have its carbon emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060 (“Dual Carbon” targets). Beijing, the capital of China, needs to take the lead in promoting carbon emissions reduction so as to provide an example for other cities. Based on the extended...
