“…Specifically, job opportunities in the central and western regions can be increased by expanding capital investments, which does not hold in the eastern/northeastern region. This can be partly explained by the diminishing marginal product of capital (Shi et al, 2016). On average, PCCs in the eastern/northeastern region have a higher level of capital stock, producing less output from an additional unit of capital input and then absorbing less labor input.…”

“…A couple of studies were done to comprehend about transport investments in China. Cross-region analysis was done to investigate relation between economic development and transport investment [10]. The comparative cross-regional study reveals a positive trend in economic returns due to extra transport investment.…”

China, Russia and India, three major members of BRICS, share a strong trade relationship in over a duration of time. These countries have shown remarkable growth in various sectors overtaking EU and North American countries. Infrastructure investment is a crucial factor to give a momentum to progress of any country. This study attempts to understand the long run and short run effect of total inland infrastructure investment on freight growth in the said countries. In this study, Autoregressive Distributed Lag [ARDL] bounds testing approach was used to examine the impact of total inland transport infrastructure investment on total inland freight transport in the emerging economies, viz. China, Russia and India. Results indicate that China has higher positive affect of inland infrastructure investment on freight growth rate in the short run while India has higher positive affect in long run. Russia, owing to lower population, trade and industrialization growth showed to have lower freight growth in both short run and long run.

“…Over the past several decades, the global economic map has undergone a dramatic change. Remarkably, as a developing country with the world's largest population, China has witnessed rapid economic growth with a high average annual growth rate (more than 9%) in gross domestic product, much higher than the world economy's average annual growth rate of about 3% [Liu (2010), Shi et al (2016)]. Income per capita and living standards in China also increased sharply.…”

Studies show that the gain from China's remarkable growth of the past 35 years has not been evenly shared, especially through the intergenerational transmission of income. To address this concern, we use data from China Health and Nutrition Survey and find the intergenerational income elasticity to be 0.466 in 2011, which suggests that sons' incomes are affected by their fathers' economic statuses to a large extent. A cross-country comparison indicates that the degree of generational income mobility in China is lower than that in many developed nations. Meanwhile, by investigating possible transmission channels, we find that the fathers' investments in the sons' education and occupation play substantial roles in intergenerational transmission of income. The results not only demonstrate the trends in intergenerational income mobility in China, but also identify the most likely transmission channels, which is of great importance to improving social equality.
