“…The steep slopes, serious terrain cutting, broken surfaces and vulnerable ecological environments in mountainous karst areas bring about many challenges for local farmers (Guo et al, 2016). It can be seen from Table 1 that the topographic reliefs in Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan and Chongqing in Southwest China are 2.696, 1.398, 0.586, 3.529 and 1.310, respectively (You et al, 2018). Topographic relief is an important factor that influences the spatial distribution of vegetation and ecosystem regulation function (Li et al, 2022).…”

Rocky desertification poverty (RDP) refers to rural poverty triggered or exacerbated by rocky desertification, which deprives farmers of opportunities for improving their financial conditions through agricultural production. As China implements strategies including building a moderately prosperous society, targeted poverty alleviation, and rural revitalization, issues concerning RDP have become the work foci for the Chinese government and research hotspots for Chinese academic circles. This paper provides a thorough review of the history, progress, challenges and prospects based on decades of RDP studies in Southwest China. First, we review the origin, definitions and historical development trends of RDP. Over nearly four decades, research on RDP can be framed as four stages: start-up, poverty alleviation and ecological reconstruction, rocky desertification comprehensive control and green development. We find that RDP research progress appears to be directly related to the Chinese government's policy support and decision-making in mitigating RDP. Second, previous findings are reviewed and summarised regarding four research aspects: relationship exploration between rocky desertification and rural poverty, mechanisms of rocky desertification for exacerbating poverty, strategies for eliminating RDP and anti-poverty benefit evaluations of rocky desertification control efforts. Third, the remaining challenges are identified and summarised, including the challenges of conducting theoretical research on RDP and consolidating achievements in eliminating RDP. We find that while many achievements have been made in the study of RDP in recent decades, the completeness and systematism of the theoretical system remain weak, and the guidance for empirical research is still insufficient. Finally, this research is fundamental in achieving rural revitalization in rocky desertification ar-

Cultural diversity and borrowers’ behavior: evidence from peer-to-peer lending

We study cultural diversity and borrowers' behavior using data of peer-to-peer lending platform Renrendai. We proxy cultural diversity with the Linguistic Diversity Index, measured by the population weighted number of dialects spoken in a region, and we show that it has a negative (positive) effect on the loan amount (default rate) of the borrowers. We address endogeneity using two novel instruments, the river length and land slope of Chinese cities, a Heckman two-stage model, and an IV-Heckit model. We also study areas where financial institutions' loan balances are higher (lower) than average. In areas with low (high) loan balances, the amount borrowed (the default rate) is affected more (less). We argue that lenders' behavior is a reason that borrowers in diverse cultures apply for smaller loans. Our results pass a number of robustness tests. Finally, we offer suggestions for improving risk management and inclusive financial development.
