“…Thirdly, we utilize the interaction term post×loan_m to quantify the environmental changes encountered by DIF in regions with varying degrees of traditional finance before and after the implementation of policies. Notably, despite the significant growth of China's direct financing market in recent years, due to the dominant position of bank credit in its financial structure and practical limitations on the segmentation of regional stock and bond markets, when evaluating traditional finance at the city level, bank credit still serves as a proxy indicator (Li et al, 2013).…”

Since 2016, China has incorporated the development of digital inclusive finance (DIF) into its national strategic plan and supported it with favorable policies. These policy changes not only promote the sustainable development of finance but also provide an opportunity to examine the relationship between DIF and traditional finance. This study utilizes panel data from China's prefecture-level cities spanning 2011 to 2019 and employs the generalized difference-in-difference method to analyze the impacts of relevant policies. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the level of traditional finance and the successful implementation of policies that promote DIF, suggesting a complementary relationship between traditional finance and DIF. Additionally, analysis reveals that in regions with more favorable financial and technological conditions, traditional finance plays a prominent supportive role in facilitating DIF. Therefore, policies promoting DIF should consider local financial and technological landscapes while developing tailored strategies based on the maturity level of traditional finance.

“…Third, and most importantly, when constructing the instrumental variable, we intentionally exclude those teenagers who study at the same school as that of the focal teenager i. According to recent studies on peer effect, the respondent's classmates or students from the same school can be viewed as their peer group (Du and Guo, 2019;Du and Yuan, 2016), and the social network consisting of the peer group is highly likely to transmit negative emotions (Li and Lin, 2019). In other words, private tutoring behaviors of the peer group may directly affect individual teenagers' own emotional status.…”

“…Depression has been documented as one of the most common triggers leading to teen suicide (Bridge et al, 2006;Waldvogel et al, 2008). Furthermore, the negative emotions of classmates are contagious through class social networks, amplifying the consequences of individuals' negative emotions (Li and Lin, 2019). Therefore, it is of urgent relevance to explore possible mechanisms through which negative emotions are generated among China's youth.…”

Does cram school participation bring about negative emotions? Causal inference based on Chinese Education Panel Survey (CEPS) data

This study focuses on the causal relationship between teenagers’ participation in cram schools and their emotional well-being. Our analysis is based on Chinese Education Panel Survey data (CEPS 2013–2015). We construct instrumental variables and introduce lagged variables to mitigate possible endogeneity problems. The major findings are as follows. First, the participation of socioeconomically disadvantaged teenagers in cram schools significantly exacerbates their negative emotions. Teenagers of advantaged family socioeconomic status (SES) show better ability in emotion regulation and in avoiding specific negative emotions. Second, we explore class heterogeneity in emotion regulation. Specifically, we propose a preliminary theoretical framework based on a typology of parenting styles. We conjecture that parents of different social classes may respond differently to their children's negative emotions. And for children who attend cram schools, there might be intergroup disparities in their own emotion-regulation ability by their class origins. Empirically, we carry out a counterfactual analysis to further illustrate the association between class difference in emotion regulation and that in the depressive effect of cram school participation, providing supporting evidence for our theoretical framework. In sum, our study is helpful to further our understanding of the implications of emotional health inequality which may derive from the “shadow education” system.

“…Some studies have found that foreign aid can solve the information asymmetry between donors and recipients (Zak & Knack, 2001), and reduce conflicts and trust crises (Asiedu et al, 2009; Jin & Zeng, 2017; Li et al, 2021). In terms of the theory of foreign aid, the theory of national interest from the perspective of economics and the theory of rational choice institutionalism from the perspective of political science, both argue that foreign aid, as an informal institutional arrangement between states, is consistent with the theory of transaction costs and that both help to reduce the costs and uncertainties of legal transactions and facilitate economic cooperation and development between two countries.…”

Using a sample of 124 countries assisted by China from 2000 to 2019, this paper examines the impact of foreign aid on outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) and the mitigation mechanism of risk. The research finds that, first, foreign aid can significantly reduce the country risk of recipient countries, especially political risk and financial risk, and thus play a role in promoting the inflow of OFDI of donor countries, and there is a lagged effect of this role; Second, foreign aid from other countries has a negative impact on China's OFDI to recipient countries, indicating that foreign aid is nonaltruistic and exclusive; Third, the mitigation effect of foreign aid on country risk is achieved through five channels: compensation effect, synergistic effect, pioneer effect, assimilation effect, and redistribution effects.
