The expansion of the internet has provided people with more channels to obtain information. New information about the world and other lifestyles provided by the internet may affect teenagers' attitudes and change their behavior of first marriage in adulthood. Using data from China Family Panel...

This article mobilizes and integrates both existing and new time series data on real wages, physical heights and age-heaping to examine the long-term trend of living standards and human capital for China during the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. Our findings confirm the existence of a...

Through the use of a multivariate cointegration and error-correction model, this study investigates the short- and long-run relationship over the past two decades between fiscal expenditure policy and non-oil real GDP growth in member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Despite the...

The paper examines the evolution of the institutional setup of Lithuania`s Currency Board Arrangement (CBA) and competitiveness from 1994 through 2001, with a view to determining the resilience of the Lithuanian CBA to external shocks in 2002-03. First, several indicators of competitiveness are...

Electroreduction of CO2 into value-added products relies on the availability of highly active/selective and robust catalysts. Herein, we report a strategy to controllably enhance the catalytic activity of tin coordination polymers (Sn-CPs) for CO2 electroreduction via framework...

Nowadays, land reclamation by dredger fill has become one of the effective ways to solve the increasing land demand in coastal areas. However, the artificial dredger fill could not only produce large deformation after it was deposited, but also further the permeability and consolidation of the...

Solar interfacial evaporation is an effective and sustainable strategy to solve the shortage of fresh water. Nowadays, fully converting the near-infrared light with significant thermal effect, and reducing the energy loss in evaporation stage are the key factors to achieve higher evaporation...

Co-free cathode material is an ideal material for developing low-cost sodium ion batteries. Both O3 and P2 single-phases suffer structural degradation, resulting in irreversible structural collapse and rapid capacity decline. Compared with the single-phase crystal structure type O or P, the...
