Urban Inclusiveness and Perception of Class Mobility -- From the Perspective of Floating Population

2023-07-16T19:19:35+07:00

Improving people's sense of happiness and gain is the meaning of the title of inclusive city construction. Paying attention to the individual's subjective perception of class mobility can promote the orderly mobility of social classes and promote social structural changes. Based on the data of China Labor-force Dynamic Survey (CLDS) in 2016, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of urban inclusion on class mobility by using the Ordered Probit model. The results show that the probability of intra-generational upward mobility perception increases by 0.0897 and the probability of inter-generational upward mobility perception increases by 0.0617 for each unit of urban inclusion. This result is still robust after removing extreme values and changing the definition of perceived class mobility. Considering the endogeneity of urban inclusion, this paper uses Conditional Mixed Process (CMP) estimation to effectively reduce the bias caused by Ordered Probit model estimation. Further mechanism analysis shows that urban inclusion can positively affect the social network of floating population and then affect their sense of class mobility. Heterogeneity analysis found that the positive impact of urban inclusiveness on the perception of class mobility was the largest in the central region and the floating population of agricultural household registration type. Therefore, the relevant national departments still need to introduce some policies, pay attention to the accumulation of human capital, and continuously enhance the upward mobility perception of the eastern and western regions and non-agricultural Hukou groups while improving the urban inclusiveness, so as to enhance their "sense of access".

Research and Analysis on the Mutual Restriction Factors Between Green Finance and New Energy Power Industry

2023-07-16T19:32:45+07:00

For the past few years, green finance, as one of the most important means of sustainable development, has been widely concerned by scholars at home and abroad. The development of new energy power industry is rapid, and the application of green finance is more and more extensive. The integration of the green finance and new energy power industry is conducive to promoting the construction of ecological civilization in China. However, due to the relatively backward development of green finance, the new energy power industry also has some limitations, resulting in defects in the integration of the two. This paper first describes the current situation of the support of green finance to the development of China's new energy power industry, and the mechanism of green finance supporting the new energy power industry, that is, the effect of capital aggregation and the effect of scientific and technological innovation. On this basis, it further analyzes the bottleneck constraints in the process of the two docking, such as insufficient supply of green financial products, low level of innovation, imperfect laws and regulations, etc. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions on how to realize the connection between new energy industry and power industry. The content is novel and frontier.

Customers’ Trust on E-Banking System in Bangladesh

2023-07-16T19:44:39+07:00

E-banking is the newest improvement in banking sector which is a latest dimension to banking dealings by permitting customers to perform financial transaction through the delivery channel. The study was designed to investigate practices, impact, security, problems and prospects of e-banking in Bangladesh which are directly related with the trust on electronic banking. To collect data for this study a set of questionnaire was developed with 44 questions which covered the above mentioned elements of e-banking in Bangladesh. Total 224 respondents are selected purposively from bankers and customers of whom 75 bankers and 149 are bank customers of sixteen randomly selected banks. Banks are classified into four categories like state owned commercial bank, domestic private commercial bank, foreign commercial bank and other specialized bank which activates in Bangladesh. Statistical software SPSS was used to analyze data. The result shows that customers trust depends basically on security measures, customers awareness, educational qualification, authentication of etransaction, e-service quality of banks, bankers behavior etc. Every step in the online banking activities is secured by one or more security mechanisms. Customer’s awareness is one of the most important elements to build up trust on e-banking. Low educated people are afraid of doing e-banking operation. Problems or difficulties are directly related with customers trust. If customers trust is reduced if they face difficulties to do an e-transaction

Routines and Incentives, and Their Influence on Compliance with the Doctrinal Principles of Fisheries Cooperatives

2023-07-16T19:52:24+07:00

Fisheries cooperatives play an important role in Mexico, given that they are capable of generating employment, supplying food, stimulating local commerce, and promoting democracy and social integration in the communities where they operate. Fisheries production cooperatives form part of a sector called the social economy. Nevertheless, like all organizations, they face problems in terms of management, worker relations, rule implementation, and continuance over time. The aim of this study is to analyze and identify the degree of influence that exists between the informal constraints of fisheries production cooperatives (specifically in the form of institutional routines and incentives) and compliance with their doctrinal principles. This study uses a non-experimental quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational-explanatory approach. The research methods consisted of the construction of associated indices, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Three hypotheses were proposed. With regard to H1, the results showed that informal constraints in the form of routines are moderately correlated with the level of compliance with the formal rules. Regarding the results for H2, it was confirmed that informal constraints in the form of incentives are very weakly correlated with the level of compliance with the formal rules. And with regard to H3, based on a joint analysis of the variables, only routines significantly influenced compliance with these doctrinal principles. Based on the above, it was concluded that routines and not incentives are the factors that exert the greatest influence on compliance with the doctrinal principles of cooperatives.

Dynamic Assessment of Agriculture and Economic Growth Nexus in Morocco: Evidence from Structural VAR and Directed Acyclic Graphs

2023-07-16T19:59:06+07:00

The recurrence of international crises and their negative impact on the economy and household food security has stimulated a strong revival of interest in the role of the agricultural sector and its relationship with the national economy. Recently, a macro-econometric model has shown a well-established bidirectional causality nexus between the agricultural sector and the Moroccan economy. However, the assessment of the magnitude of effects in both directions and their historical evolution are crucial topics that have not yet been explored. The current study empirically examines the dynamic interrelationships between Moroccan agriculture and GDP using the structural VAR model. The data set consists of the annual macroeconomic time series covering the period 1980-2019, namely: GDP per capita, agricultural GDP, investment rate, money supply and trade openness. This paper exploits recent advances in artificial intelligence to determine the over-identifying restrictions, through Directed Acyclic Graphs. Impulse response functions reveal that the Moroccan economy is very sensitive to agricultural shocks compared to shocks due to other endogenous variables, meanwhile the agricultural sector is very reactive to its shocks. The results from the variance decomposition show that the agricultural shocks are the most important driver of economic growth fluctuations and account for almost 69% of the forecast error variance for the first year. The share of GDP shocks in the variance of the forecast error of agricultural GDP does not exceed 7% for a ten-year horizon, while agricultural shocks dominate the decomposition variance profile and never fall below the 74% threshold. These results highlight the predominance of the Agriculture-Led Growth hypothesis in comparison with the Growth-Led Agriculture hypothesis. The findings resulting from the historical decomposition reconfirm the historical dependence between the national economy and agriculture. This sector sometimes acts as a shock absorber, counteracting the poor performance of other sectors of the economy. Under the Structural VAR model, the historical analysis illustrates that the national economy is increasingly resilient to agricultural shocks because of the improved resilience of Moroccan agriculture to climate shocks. Although the impact of agriculture is historically prominent, the magnitude of its impact has significantly reduced by 22% between 1982-1999 and 2000-2019. Given the strong potential of the agricultural sector to promote economic growth, policymakers should continue to create favorable conditions to support the development of the sector.
