“…This dynamic is consistent with the experience of other emerging economies such as Japan in the 1970s and 1980s where increases in the real exchange rate reinforced a shift towards domestically oriented industries such as education, health and financial services (Dorrucci et al 2013).…”

“…The Chinese economy has achieved sustained high-speed growth at a rate of nearly 10% of gross domestic production (GDP) for the past decade [1,2]. The GDP per capita in China increased from 1644 RMB in 1990 to 29,992 RMB in 2010 (The exchange rates for US$ to RMB were 1:4.7 and 1:6.8 in 1990 and 2010, respectively) [3].…”

“…In this paper, we examine income inequality in rural China combined with a degree of income mobility by the exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient and Markov chain model. The aims of this paper are: (1) to explore the spatio-temporal pattern of rural per capita net income (RPCNI) in rural China; (2) to detect the rural income inequality at multiple scales; (3) to reveal the extent of income mobility between counties of different groups; and (4) to provide policy recommendations for poverty alleviation of different regions.…”

Abstract:Since the reform and opening up, the Chinese economy has achieved sustained high-speed growth. However, the widening gaps in income, especially for rural China, seem to be a dark lining to these extraordinary achievements. Taking the duration of poverty into the consideration, this article analyzes the income inequality of rural per capita net income (RPCNI) based on income mobility in rural China. Analysis results showed that Gini coefficient of RPCNI declined, but that income mobility was mainly limited in the interior for low-and high-income groups. Income inequalities rose sharply within eastern and western China from 1990 to 2010. Benefiting from the developed economy, the upward mobility was universal in eastern China. The spillover effect on neighboring poor counties was feeble in western China, which directly caused long-term rich and poor. The Gini coefficient of RPCNI in central China was always at a low level, corresponding to the phenomenon of short-term rich and long-term poor. In northeastern China, the Gini coefficient sharply decreased and the large body of income mobility between non-neighboring groups was quite remarkable. The spatial pattern of intra-provincial Gini coefficient and income mobility of RPCNI has been divided by the "HU line", which is a "geo-demographic demarcation line" discovered by Chinese population geographer HU Huanyong in 1935. In southeastern China, the characteristics of income mobility of each county depended on the distance between the county and the capital city. The spatial pattern of income mobility of RPCNI in agricultural provinces was different from that in non-agricultural provinces. According to the income inequality and income mobility, appropriate welfare and development policies was proposed to combat rural poverty at both regional and provincial scales.

“…China's share in global trade has grown from below 1% in 1980 to 9.1% in 2010 (Dorrucci et al. ). With more than 20% of the world population, China is now the second‐largest economy in the world (The World Bank ; CIA ).…”

SummaryRapid economic growth and urbanization in China have led to a substantial change in consumption patterns and diet structure of Chinese consumers over the past few decades. A growing demand for feed, fuel and fiber also places intense pressure on land resources. With continuing growth of China's economy and migration from rural to urban, the increase in food consumption and change in diet structure will likely continue, which will not only impose pressure on domestic land resources but also exert impact on land resources in other countries through import. This article applies a global multiregion input-output (MRIO) model to trace agricultural land use along global supply chains and examines the impact of China's future food consumption on global land use in 2030 against different socio-economic and technological scenarios. Our result shows that by 2030, China would need an additional 21% of cropland to support its increasing food 2 demand driven by population growth, urbanization and income growth and the associated diet structure change. Almost a third of cropland associated with household consumption (34 Mha) will be "outsourced" to foreign countries, such as Argentina, Brazil, UnitedStates and Thailand, for the consumption of cereal grains, soybeans and paddy rice.China also consumes 2.4 Mha cropland from Africa for its consumption of cereal grains and oil seeds. The dependence of domestic consumption on significant amounts of foreign cropland shows that China would face serious challenges to meet its grain selfsufficiency policy in the future, and at the same time this dependence would contribute to environmental and food security problems elsewhere.
