Impact of availability of grandparents’ care on birth in working women: An empirical analysis based on data of Chinese dynamic labour force

Deterioration in the environmental quality is a major threat to the sustainable development of an economy as it results in serious economic problems and the researchers are conscious about the environment sustainability. They have identified several factors including financial development, inflow of foreign aid, and openness of trade to promote environmental sustainability. Unfortunately, their findings remain inconclusive as they have imperfectly measured environmental sustainability. This study, thus, aims to contribute to the ongoing debate of environmental sustainability by testing the role of financial development, trade openness, and foreign direct investment (FDI) in promoting environmental sustainability by using adjusted net savings as a measure of environmental sustainability. To do this, the study collects data from 1996 to 2019. The study uses financial development, trade openness, and FDI as predictors and environmental sustainability as an outcome variable. The study applies Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) methodology to analyze the impact. The findings show positive contributions of financial development, trade openness, and foreign direct investment in promoting environment sustainability. We suggest encouraging trade through lower-taxation programs and increasing competition in the financial markets through privatization and domestic and international liberalization to stimulate environmental sustainability. We also recommend imposing high taxes and penalties on such activities that damage the quality of the environment.

“…Commonly used robustness testing methods include the instrumental variable method (Peng et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2022;Peng et al, 2022.;Zhao et al, 2022), variable lag, etc. At the same time, controlling individual effects of enterprises is also an important robustness testing method (Peng et al, 2021a;Peng et al, 2021c;Peng R. et al, 2021;Gu et al, 2021). In the above analysis process, this paper has carried out regression analysis after controlling the individual effect of enterprises.…”

“…Fourth, some scholars believe that artificial intelligence has a negative impact on corporate governance. The application of artificial intelligence in the operation and management of enterprises will lead to internal control defects and aggravate agency conflicts in the process of corporate governance (Yue Yujun and Gu et al, 2021). Artificial intelligence may lead to new problems in risk control and internal control system of enterprises, which are difficult to be effectively solved in a short period of time (Ashbaugh-Skaife et al, 2008).…”

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the economy and industry has gradually extended from the macroeconomic to the microeconomic level. Artificial intelligence technology has brought great innovation and impact to the company’s operation and management and has a strong role in promoting the level of corporate governance. Based on an in-depth analysis of the theoretical mechanism of artificial intelligence affecting corporate governance, and based on the balanced panel data of Chinese A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2020, this paper empirically analyzes the mechanism and intermediary effect of artificial intelligence affecting corporate governance. The study found that AI applications can significantly improve corporate governance levels, and a higher level of artificial intelligence application can produce a higher level of corporate governance. From the perspective of the impact path, artificial intelligence technology can significantly improve the degree of information symmetry required for corporate governance, thereby providing favorable technical conditions and decision support for improving the level of corporate governance. Artificial intelligence technology has a positive and effective impact on corporate governance through the information symmetry effect.

“…Controls it is a series of control variables; given the panel data, time fixed effect and province fixed effect are also considered. εit is the random interference term that is assumed to be normally distributed at zero means value and constant variance (Elahi et al, 2017;Elahi et al, 2018a;Elahi et al, 2018b;Gu et al, 2021). The quality of urban economic growth was evaluated comprehensively by three indicators of efficiency, stability, and sustainability.…”

China–Europe freight train (CEFT) is a link connecting Eurasia and a vital carrier to promote regional economic cooperation. This article measures the quality of China’s city-level economic growth using principal component analysis. Our study examines the impact of the opening of CEFT on the quality of urban economic growth by using the multi-period difference-in-difference (DID) model and the data of 273 prefecture-level cities in China from 2003 to 2016. First, the basic results show that the opening of the CEFT significantly improves the quality of the economic development of node cities, which remains robust under a series of robustness tests. Second, the heterogeneity test shows that CEFT is more conducive to improving the quality of economic growth in inland cities and cities with small freight volumes in central and western China. There is no significant difference in the impact of road infrastructure construction in different level cities. Third, the mechanism test shows that the opening of the CEFT has a significant impact on improving the quality of economic growth, with no positive effect on stability and sustainability. The construction of the CEFT is still under development. It is necessary to take complete account of the situation of different cities in scientific planning, improve its driving effect on stability and sustainability while maintaining efficiency, and then, optimize the economic benefits of the freight train.
