“…Evidence suggests that in recent years all sub-populations have begun to enjoy higher levels of health and cognition due to falling rates of poverty and rising levels of human capital, even in China's poor rural areas (Goh et al, 2009;Zhang, 2014;Gao et al, 2015;Rambotti, 2015). Much of the previous research has been limited in scope, either in terms of geographic area or lack of a credible comparison group.…”

The general goal of the present study is to analyze whether children with siblings lag behind their only-child counterparts in terms of health and nutrition, cognition and educational performance, and non-cognitive outcomes. We draw on a dataset containing 25 871 observations constructed from three school-level surveys spanning four provinces in China. The analysis compares children with siblings and only children aged 9 to 14 years old in terms of eight different health, cognitive and non-cognitive indicators. We fi nd that with the exception of the anemia rate, health outcomes of children with siblings are statistically indistinguishable from those of only children. In terms of cognition, children with siblings performed better than only children. Moreover, outcomes of children with siblings are statistically indistinguishable from those of only children in terms of the non-cognitive outcomes provided by measures of anxiety. According to our results, the same general fi ndings are true regardless of whether the difference between children with and without siblings is disaggregated by gender.

“…Urban poverty has been much less than rural poverty over the studied period (Ya o et al, 2004;Kh an, 2004;Ra vallion and Chen, 2007;Goh et al, 2009;see Table 3.10). Urban poverty has been much less than rural poverty over the studied period (Ya o et al, 2004;Kh an, 2004;Ra vallion and Chen, 2007;Goh et al, 2009;see Table 3.10).…”

“…Moreover, most regional growth theories predict regionally imbalanced growth as an inherent feature of the economic system (Gardiner, Martin, Sunley, & Tyler, ). Under the support of those theories, regional disparity has been a hot topic of empirical studies, both in terms of economic growth and income inequality (Guo, Luo, & Zhu, ; Krugman, ; Partridge, ), which are common phenomena around the world.…”

Regional inequality in the process of economic growth has recently been a popular topic. This paper creatively proposes contribution decomposition methods to divide various regions' contributions into economic contribution and population contribution. The methods consider not only economic growth but also population change, which may be more effective than the traditional method that uses the per capita GDP (gross domestic product) as its single measurement indicator. Moreover, the objective is to take a step forward and reveal the spatio‐temporal evolution characteristics of regional disparities by integrating barycentre model and economic development equilibrium model. Lastly, the applicability of the research method proposed in this paper is verified by a case study of Jiangsu province, China; the results show a new regional economic pattern in Jiangsu province.
