Regional Development and Government Policy in China's Transitional Economy

Year: 1999
Subjects: International Development

description: This paper examines the causes and consequences of the increase in regional disparities in China during its economic transition towards a 'socialist market economy'. Part 1 seeks to explain why the 'Core' provinces in southeast China have consistently outperformed the remainder of the country, particularly in the 1990s. While it is recognized that numerous historical and geographical factors have played a role, the basic argument is that government policies concerning the nature and pattern of economic reform have been paramount in causing the observed divergence in industrial development across provinces. In contrast to the Maoist era, the regional development strategy adopted in the 1980s clearly favoured coastal provinces. In combination with preferential policies, this is shown to have benefited the Core provinces above all others. Amidst an enhanced role for market forces, fiscal decentralization has compounded disparities, creating virtuous circles in successful provinces and vicious circles elsewhere. In essence, government-induced cumulative processes abound in China's regional development story.For social, political and economic reasons, the central government's regional policy focus has shifted in the 1990s to the less developed provinces in central and western China. Part 2 of this paper examines the potential effectiveness of the latest set of policies, which includes fiscal-, credit-, and investment-based incentives, policies to attract foreign trade and investment, and various co-operative measures. The analysis draws on three simple models of economic geography which capture the role of scale economies, transport costs, wage differentials, inter-industry linkages and factor mobility in industrial development. In light of the central government's diminished power to directly control economic forces and the cumulative processes it must now work against, the task it faces is certainly a difficult one. It is argued, however, that the government has played a decisive role in determining the spatial structure of industry and consequent patterns of regional development throughout China's reform era and it will almost certainly continue to do so in the future. To succeed in its current endeavour, understanding the processes underpinning regional disparities is a vital step in the right direction.
Investment in Education and Income Inequality

description: Income inequality has risen in many parts of the world during the past decades. Rising inequality is no longer a problem of only Latin American and Sub-Saharan African countries. Some OECD countries, and recently also East Asian countries, have experienced widening income differentials. In the 1990s the problem has also become visible in the countries of the former socialist bloc during their transition period towards market economy. Rising income inequality has led to a significant rise in the number of poor people, which makes the issue even more critical.The unfavourable developments of the income distribution can, to a large extent, be blamed on the unequal acquirement of human capital investment. This paper analyses a data set of fifty countries and recognises the influence of educational attainment on inequality. Given the differences in the distribution of physical capital, it can be observed that countries that do not provide sufficient education at the primary level, have more problems in creating an egalitarian society. Especially in developing countries this means that poverty is strongly correlated with unequal supply of education. In developed countries the recent rise in earnings differentials has been a consequence of rising returns to education. This paper examines the impact of post-primary education in general, which is probably not a sufficient indicator of the supply shortages of education. The rise in wage inequality seems to be a problem in certain technical branches and its impact could be better analysed with more specific data on secondary and tertiary education in several areas.
Selecting Priorities for Poverty Reduction and Human Development: The Case of Ethiopia

description: Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world. At least 45 per cent of the population cannot meet their minimum basic needs. Human development indicators are amongst Africa's worst, including a very high level of illiteracy. The country was devastated by prolonged war, and has been reconstructing since 1992. The government has also engaged in economic reform to correct the policy distortions inherited from the Marxist-Leninist government of the Derg. Growth has increased but it has not yet had large benefits for the rural or urban poor. Thus, poverty reduction must be systematically incorporated into Ethiopia's development efforts. Given the scarcity of resources, careful choices must be made, and realistic priorities must be set in order to maximize the benefits of public spending to the poor. Priorities must include investment in the rural road network which will improve the integration of markets (and thus food-security), as well as the development of off-farm employment. Considerable effort must be made to boost the productivity of smallholders through improving the system of input-supplies, better extension, and micro- credit. Within the area of human development, needs are so large, that rapid improvement should be sought through the use of innovations in community-based service delivery. Facilitating informal safety nets, and providing cost-effective public safety nets to offset shocks such as drought, are also priorities. The dismantling of the socialist economic system has made it possible to expand activities of relevance to the poor. But the present war with Eritrea threatens further progress. If it can be brought to an end, the prospects for poverty reduction in Ethiopia are considerable.

A Land Cursed by its Wealth? Angola's War Economy 1975-99

Year: 1999
Subjects: International Development

description: In Angola, the availability of two abundant resources (oil and diamonds) has prolonged the conflict beyond its Cold War context. The geography and political economy of these resources were crucial to the course taken by the conflict. Matching the regional and ethnic differentiation articulated by party leaders for political ends as well as the military strategies of belligerents, these resources not only fuelled the Angolan conflict but aggravated its consequences by drastically reducing productive economic activities as well as government efficiency and popularity. The conjunction of politics, geography, and military strategies sustained - and was sustained by - financial flows redirected from peace and reconstruction towards war and self-interest. These dynamics have been facilitated by the corporate sector as industries and markets were to a large extent sheltered from the direct impact of the conflict and its ethical dimensions. The contrasting situation of Mozambique highlights in this regard the importance of political accountability of resource and capital flows. The paper stresses the significance of the geographical dimensions of conflicts and calls for greater corporate responsibility during wartime and transition to peace.

description: We analyze the effective low--energy field theory of Goldstone bosons and baryons chirally coupled to massive spin--1 fields. We use the electromagnetic baryon form factors to demonstrate the formal equivalence between the vector and the tensor field formulation for the spin--1 fields. We also discuss the origin of the so--called Weinberg term in pion--nucleon scattering and the role of $ρ$--meson exchange. Chirally coupled vector mesons do not give rise to this two--pion nucleon seagull interaction but rather to higher order corrections. Some problems of the formal equivalence arising in higher orders and related to loops are touched upon.

Consistent Histories and Quantum Delayed Choice

description: John Wheeler devised a gedanken experiment in which a piece of apparatus can be altered just before the arrival of particle, and this ``delayed choice'' can, seemingly, alter the quantum state of the particle at a much earlier time, long before the choice is made. A slightly different gedanken experiment, which exhibits the same conceptual difficulty, is analyzed using the techniques of consistent history quantum theory. The idea that the future influences the past disappears when proper account is taken of the diversity of possible quantum descriptions of the world, and their mutual compatibility or incompatibility.

description: The genus Paraplectograptus includes a small number of retiolitine species with an identical development of the main thecal and ancora sleeve lists. A complete virgella-virga-nema development with connecting lists is formed on the obverse side of the tubarium, while the only thecal lists on the reverse side are the lateral apertural lists, connected through the pleural lists of the ancora sleeve. Obverse and reverse sides of the tubarium are connected by the thecal lips on the ventral sides. The characteristic zigzag thecal lists of the reverse side of many early retiolitines are not present in the genus. The development and extent of the reticular ancora sleeve lists on the obverse and reverse sides of the tubarium are quite variable and range from lacking entirely to dense. The genus Pseudoplectograptus is regarded as a junior synonym of Paraplectograptus. Pseudoplectograptus sagenus is transferred to the genus Sagenograptoides. Its type species ‘Sagenograptoides arctos’ was known only from small, immature or fragmentary specimens of the associated Sagenograptoides sagenus. This species bears a characteristic reticulum on the ventral thecal walls, not found in the genus Paraplectograptus, but which is present in other Cyrtograptus lundgreni Biozone retiolitines.

description: Lorentz symmetry violation (LSV) at Planck scale can be tested (see e.g. physics/0003080) through ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR). In a deformed Lorentz symmetry (DLS) pattern where the effective LSV parameter varies like the square of the momentum scale (quadratically deformed relativistic kinematics, QDRK), a 10E-6 LSV at Planck scale would be enough to produce observable effects on the properties of cosmic rays at the 10E20 eV scale: absence of GZK cutoff, stability of unstable particles, lower interaction rates, kinematical failure of any parton model and of standard formulae for Lorentz contraction and time dilation... Its phenomenological implications are compatible with existing data. If the effective LSV parameter is taken to vary linearly with the momentum scale (linearly deformed relativistic kinematics, LDRK), a LSV at Planck scale larger than 10E-7 eV seems to lead to contradictions with data above TeV energies. Consequences are important for high-energy gamma-ray experiments, as well as for high-energy cosmic rays and gravitational waves.

description: Research suggests that debate, that is, open discussion behavior in work groups, can affect group-level outcomes. Yet, little is known about how debate may affect group member well-being. Drawing from the literature on debate and open conflict norms, we hypothesize that debate and well-being are positively associated because differing views can be shared and discussed openly. Additionally, based on theories on status conflicts and diversity, we expect that this relationship is moderated by the divergence of status perceptions within the group. Specifically, we propose that the positive relationship between group-level debate and well-being is stronger when group members’ perceptions of the hierarchical social status distribution in their group diverge strongly (rather than little) because in this situation debate can help resolve differing status construals. Data for this study came from 163 members of 29 self-organized activist groups that pursued social and/or ecological goals. Group members reported the level of debate within their group, perceived status distribution, and their individual well-being. Results of multilevel modeling showed that debate and well-being were positively related and that divergence of status perceptions moderated this relationship. With our study, we expand research on debate by investigating its relationship with well-being. Our study adds to the literature on status dynamics by showing that not only the distribution of social status, but also the divergent perception of its distribution is an important feature of status dynamics. Finally, we advance the literature by applying constructs from work and organizational psychology to activist well-being.

description: The quantum statistics of damped optical solitons is studied using cumulant-expansion techniques. The effect of absorption is described in terms of ordinary Markovian relaxation theory, by coupling the optical field to a continuum of reservoir modes. After introduction of local bosonic field operators and spatial discretization pseudo-Fokker-Planck equations for multidimensional s-parameterized phase-space functions are derived. These partial differential equations are equivalent to an infinite set of ordinary differential equations for the cumulants of the phase-space functions. Introducing an appropriate truncation condition, the resulting finite set of cumulant evolution equations can be solved numerically. Solutions are presented in Gaussian approximation and the quantum noise is calculated, with special emphasis on squeezing and the recently measured spectral photon-number correlations [Spaelter et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 786 (1998)].

description: Promoting high-performing employees to leadership positions is a pervasive practice and has high face validity. However, little is known about the actual link between employee and subsequent leader performance as prior results are inconsistent. Given the prevalence of this performance-based promotion strategy, we conducted a study to address this inconsistency. To account for prior diverging results, we (a) competitively tested predictions from different theoretical perspectives (i.e., the performance requirements perspective, the follower-centric perspective, and the Theory of Expert Leadership), (b) considered possible changes in the predictive validity of this strategy over time, and (c) included job complexity as potential moderator of the link between employee and subsequent leader performance. In a high stakes context (i.e., the first German soccer league), we tested the predictive validity of employee performance for leader performance. Our results suggest a low validity of performance-based promotion, as we could not find evidence for a link between employee performance and leader performance—neither initially following the promotion nor over time, which is most in line with the performance requirements perspective. We, thus, caution against the (sole) application of performance-based promotion principles.

description: With the overthrow of the Derg in 1991, some 500,000 ex-soldiers needed to be demobilized and reintegrated back into their communities. Successfully integrating such a large number of ex-soldiers is clearly important to social stability. While carefully targeted assistance is necessary, conditions in the rural and urban economies at the time of demobilization are also critical to ex-soldiers and the reconstruction of their livelihoods. This paper therefore pays close attention to land tenure and to the urban labour market, and their implications for reintegrating ex-soldiers back into the community. Data from four recent household surveys are used for this purpose. On the basis of the data analysis, the paper concludes that the demobilization and reintegration programmes achieved some success. Ex-soldiers returning to their rural communities did not, by and large, face major problems in gaining access to land. State ownership of land facilitated the reintegration process. However, lack of a land market does pose problems, and tensions over land may increase. Ex-soldiers have below average holdings of livestock (a key asset for rural livelihoods) reflecting difficulties in livestock provision in the reintegration programme. Moreover, ex-soldiers who entered the urban economy encountered a tough labour market and many became unemployed. In summary, young people have few livelihood opportunities in either rural or urban Ethiopia, a situation that must be remedied if social conflict is to be avoided and poverty reduced.

All results are derived with largely analytical methods and retain the full dependence on the heavy quark's mass. As a first phenomenological application, inclusive charm production at a future electron-ion collider and its sensitivity to the polarized gluon distribution is studied. Theoretical uncertainties due to the residual dependence on unphysical factorization and renormalization scales are estimated.

LONG-TERM GROWTH IN THE CFA FRANC ZONE COUNTRIES

Year: 2000
Subjects: International Development

description: The paper identifies and examines those factors that have affected growth in the CFA franc zone countries relative to the non CFA countries. It examines the special arrangements between franc zone countries and France, which give some advantages that seem not to have created a more rapid and sustained growth in the CFA franc zone region. However, the most important factor (which seems to reflect other factors) is found to be the institutional rigidity imposed by the monetary and exchange rate arrangement. The rigidities have negatively affected the different aspects of economies of the CFA franc countries, and therefore affect their long-term growth prospects as an examination of the different factors strongly indicates. For example the imbalances, particularly the external imbalances lacked the self-correcting mechanism. Most of the Non-CFA countries depended on external adjustment strategies by relying on the flexible exchange rate adjustment although with high inflation. The CFA franc countries tried to correct the imbalances by internal adjustment alone with much difficulty. A major difficulty is that the export base is mainly primary goods and the one time across-the-board (all countries the same rate) devaluation increase capacity utilization rather than capacity expansion in almost all the countries. Very thin trade within the zone and large trade between the zone and other countries, tend to generate much disequilibrium. Also a strong and unified monetary system has not been able to produce a strong financial and banking system in the zone. The weak banking sector has therefore encouraged capital flight. Hence for effective macro-economic policy for long-term growth, the factors and rigidities analysed in the paper must actually be taken into consideration and in some cases rigidities must be removed.

Lorentz Symmetry Violation and Acceleration in Relativistic Shocks

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In previous papers (e.g. physics/0003080 and references therein), it was pointed out that Lorentz symmetry violation (LSV) at Planck scale can play a crucial role in astrophysical processes at very high energy. It can potentially inhibit radiation under external forces (e.g. synchrotron-like), GZK-like cutoffs, decays, photodisintegration of nuclei, momentum loss trough collisions (e.g. with a photon wind in reverse shocks), production of lower-energy secondaries... An updated description of this phenomenon is presented, focusing on acceleration in relativistic shocks and having in mind a model where the effective parameter driving LSV would vary like the square of the momentum scale (Quadratically Deformed Relativistic Kinematics, QDRK). Implications for ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrino production are equally discussed.

The Distribution of Assets in Transitional Economies

Year: 1996
Subjects: International Development

description: An equal distribution of assets is a crucial element in the process of economic transition from plan to market. In the socialist era most physical assets were owned by the state and private ownership was not very important for most individuals. When the state abandons the socialist system and privatizes most of the formerly state-owned property, it also gives up the provision of secure employment, low-priced housing and the subsidies to industry, agriculture and private consumption. The relevance of private ownership grows, but how fast it does and in which way the new 'culture' of property rights is created, depends widely on the initial conditions and on the different privatization approaches. Although privatizing state-owned assets involves a transfer of huge amounts of public property into the hands of private persons, this process may lead to an increase in poverty and inequality.Empirical research on asset distribution in transitional economies has been limited, mainly because of the inaccuracy of statistical data in this area. Still, the increase in poverty and income inequality during the transition period seems to suggest an increase in asset concentration. This research analyzes the changes in asset distribution by comparing the performance of different transitional economies in terms of their initial conditions and different privatization programs, and draws some conclusions from the point of view of the distribution of assets. While this gives some information on how privatization can affect the distribution of physical capital over the short term, the long term effects are also briefly discussed at the end of this paper, where it is emphasized, that secondary markets for privatized assets can change radically the distribution of assets generated by the initial measure in the field of privatization.

description: The presence of a parental mental disorder can lead to adverse outcomes for children. Difficulties in emotion regulation are observed across a range of mental health problems and may play a crucial role in this context. Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, and Web of Science for studies examining the association between emotion regulation in parents with psychopathology at a clinical or subclinical level and their parenting. The protocol was registered with the PROSPERO international prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42021224954; January 2021). A total of 23 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Emotion regulation was predominantly assessed using self-report on the general ability (e.g., Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale). The assessment of parenting encompassed a broad range of aspects and operationalizations. Across psychopathology in parents, several aspects of difficulties in emotion regulation were associated with unfavorable emotion socialization, more negative parenting, and partially with less positive parenting. Slightly different effects were observed for posttraumatic stress disorder and anxiety disorders. For parents with depressive disorders, specific emotion regulation strategies (suppression, reappraisal) seem to buffer against negative parenting. Since the majority of studies refer only to mothers, generalization to fathers is limited. Furthermore, conclusions are limited due to study heterogeneity and lack of prospective studies. Nevertheless, findings suggest that interventions should target the improvement of emotion regulation in parents with psychopathology.

description: In Germany, Turkish-origin students face negative competence-related stereotypes held by different groups in society, including teachers at school. While a large body of research has examined stereotypes (i.e., other-stereotypes) about immigrant students, little is known about their own competence-related meta-stereotypes, i.e., beliefs regarding the other-stereotypes that outgroup peers hold about them. The present study addresses this research gap by examining Turkish- and German-origin students’ meta-stereotypes about two dimensions of competencies not yet investigated, namely Turkish- and German-origin students’ subject-related German competence as well as their general school competence using a newly developed instrument combining verbal and non-verbal measures. These assessments are juxtaposed to the evaluations of a group of peers with other immigrant backgrounds (i.e., others’ meta-stereotypes). In line with previous evidence, we found positive meta-stereotypes (as well as other- and others’ meta-stereotypes) towards German-origin students reported by all three groups. However, our study is the first that supports the existence of negative meta-stereotypes (as well as other- and others’ meta-stereotypes) towards Turkish-origin adolescents, again, among all participants. This pattern was particularly pronounced regarding the dimension of subject-related German competence. We discuss the findings’ potential relevance for students’ self-concepts and intergroup interactions in classrooms.
On some novel features of the Kerr-Newman-NUT Spacetime

description: In this work we have presented a special class of Kerr-Newman-NUT black hole, having its horizon located precisely at $r=2M$, for $Q^{2}=l^{2}-a^{2}$, where $M$, $l$, $a$ and $Q$ are respectively mass, NUT, rotation and electric charge parameters of the black hole. Clearly this choice radically alters the causal structure as there exists no Cauchy horizon indicating spacelike nature of the singularity when it exists. On the other hand, there is no curvature singularity for $l^2 > a^2$, however it may have conical singularities. Furthermore there is no upper bound on specific rotation parameter $a/M$, which could exceed unity without risking destruction of the horizon. To bring out various discerning features of this special member of the Kerr-Newman-NUT family, we study timelike and null geodesics in the equatorial as well as off the equatorial plane, energy extraction through super-radiance and Penrose process, thermodynamical properties and also the quasi-periodic oscillations. It turns out that the black hole under study radiates less energy through the super-radiant modes and Penrose process than the other black holes in this family.

description: We present an alternative scenario for cosmic structure formation where initial fluctuations are due to Kalb-Ramond axions produced during a pre-big bang phase of inflation. We investigate whether this scenario, where the fluctuations are induced by seeds and therefore are of isocurvature nature, can be brought in agreement with present observations by a suitable choice of cosmological parameters. We also discuss several observational signatures which can distinguish axion seeds from standard inflationary models.

description: Supersymmetric models are typically taken to have $μ$ parameter and all soft supersymmetry breaking parameters at or near the weak scale. We point out that a small window of allowed values exists in which $μ$ and the electroweak gaugino masses are in the few GeV range. Such models naturally solve the supersymmetry $CP$ problem, can reduce the discrepancy in $R_b$, and suppress proton decay. In this window two neutralinos are in the few GeV range, two are roughly degenerate with the $Z^0$, and both charginos are roughly degenerate with the $W^{\pm}$ bosons. Such a signature cannot escape detection at LEP II. Models that fall in this window automatically arise from renormalizable hidden sectors in which hidden sector singlets participate only radiatively in supersymmetry breaking.

description: Plants and ecosystems worldwide are exposed to a wide range of chemical, physical, and biological factors of global change, many of which act concurrently. As bringing order to the array of factors is required in order to generate an enhanced understanding of simultaneous impacts, classification schemes have been developed. One such classification scheme is dedicated to capturing the different targets of global change factors along the ecological hierarchy. We build on this pioneering work, and refine the conceptual framework in several ways, focusing on plants and terrestrial systems: (i) we more strictly define the target level of the hierarchy, such that every factor typically has just one target level, and not many; (ii) we include effects above the level of the community, that is, there are effects also at the ecosystem scale that cannot be reduced to any level below this; (iii) we introduce the level of the landscape to capture certain land use change effects while abandoning the level below the individual. We discuss how effects can propagate along the levels of the ecological hierarchy, upwards and downwards, presenting opportunities for explaining non-additivity of effects of multiple factors. We hope that this updated conceptual framework will help inform the next generation of plant-focused global change experiments, specifically aimed at non-additivity of effects at the confluence of many factors.

description: Assuming a type-I seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation and invoking a baryogengesis via leptogenesis scenario, we consider a reasonable hierarchical structure for Dirac neutrino mass matrix, similar to up-type quark mass matrix. These hypotheses imply a relevant connection between high scale CP violation and low energy one. By requiring a compact heavy neutrino mass spectrum, which allows to circumvent Davidson-Ibarra limit, one can obtain an efficient leptogenesis restricting the allowed region for low energy neutrino parameters. Once the oscillating parameters are taken inside a $3σ$ range, through the numerical resolution of the leptogenesis Boltzmann equations one gets the following allowed intervals for the lightest neutrino mass and the Dirac CP phase: $-0.90π

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays and new particle physics

description: The current status of the ultrahigh energy cosmic ray (UHE CR) enigma and several proposed solutions involving particle physics beyond the standard model are discussed. Emphasis is given to top--down models, and as a main example, supermassive dark matter as galactic source for UHE CR and the status of its experimental signatures (galactic anisotropy, chemical composition and clustering) is reviewed. Then different approaches to calculate fragmentation spectra of supermassive particles are discussed. Finally, it is argued that UHE neutrinos cannot be - neither directly or indirectly - responsible for the observed vertical air showers.
