    The concept of new quality productivity is the latest achievement of the sinicization and modernization of Marxist productivity theory. To understanding new quality productivity should go beyond the binary oppositional thinking of old and new, traditional and modern, and return to specific historical contexts. Based on the division of production tools, human society has roughly gone through four generations of replacement: primitive productivity, manual productivity, machine productivity, and digital productivity. With the transformation of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence from auxiliary tools for productivity to core engines, the current new quality productivity is accelerating its evolution towards the intelligent stage of digital productivity. The life cycle of productivity can be divided into five stages: incubation, germination, expansion, stability, and transformation. Currently, new quality productivity has passed the incubation stage and entered the germination stage, becoming an independent form of productivity. The core task of developing new quality productivity is to strive to improve the level of intelligence in various fields and accelerate the transformation of new quality productivity from local breakthroughs to the penetration of the whole society. Therefore, accelerating the development of new quality productivity requires adhering to the people-centered value orientation, quickly tackling key core technologies in fields such as the new generation of artificial intelligence, actively building new production relations that are more compatible with new quality productivity, and achieving a coordinated evolution of value leadership, technological breakthroughs, and institutional changes.

    The development of new quality productivity in line with local conditions is the requirement of the times to promote Chinese path to modernization with high-quality development. From the perspective of dialectical materialism, the“cause”embodies the unity of“liberating the mind and seeking truth from facts”in the method of understanding, the“local place”embodies the unity of“conformity to regularity and conformity to purpose”in the principle of following, the “control”embodies the unity of“systematic planning and precise implementation”in the strategy of implementation, and the“appropriateness”embodies the unity of pursuing“shared beauty and distinctive characteristics”in the target state. Therefore, to promote the development of new quality between“establishing”and“breaking”,“quality”and“quantity”, and“similarities”and“differences”according to local conditions. It is necessary to adhere to the principle of adapting to“technology”,“industry”,“greening”,“domain”, and“people”, develop new quality productive forces that conform to the new development concept, and comprehensively promote high-quality development.

    In the context of sustainable development becoming a global consensus, exploring how public environmental concerns affect corporate ESG performance through green technology innovation is of great significance for promoting corporate green transformation and achieving coordinated economic and environmental development. Using the ESG rating data of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2011 to 2021 and the environmental keyword Baidu index data of various provinces, this paper examines the role of public environmental concern on enterprise ESG performance and its impact mechanism from the the perspective of green technology innovation. The findings show: Firstly, public environmental attention can significantly promote corporate ESG performance, green technology innovation plays a mediating role between the two, and government intervention plays a positive moderating role between the two. Secondly, public environmental attention has spillover effects, and public environmental attention in other provinces can also significantly improve the ESG performance of local enterprises. Thirdly, such enterprises as that with lower ESG performance, the state-owned enterprises, the non heavy polluting industry enterprises, the high-tech enterprises, and the enterprises that located in areas with low proportion of the secondary industry, low market competition, and good business environment, have a stronger effect of public environmental attention on improving their ESG performance. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen policy guidance on public environmental concerns, promote green technology innovation, optimize government intervention, and enhance regional collaborative governance, so as to further improve corporate ESG performance.

    As the core path of industrial upgrading and transformation, the inherent impact mechanism of the dual development of digitalization and greening on industrial chain resilience needs to be studied systematically. Based on clarifying the theoretical logic of how digitalization and greening coordination impacting industrial chain resilience, this study uses the panel data from 30 Chinese provinces (2012-2022) to conduct an empirical analysis. The findings show that, firstly, the synergy between digitalization and greenification can significantly enhance the resilience of the industrial chain, and the synergistic effect is superior to that of unilateral influence. The analysis of the mechanism of action reveals that technological innovation and infrastructure construction are the key to the enhancement of industrial chain resilience through the synergy between digitalization and greenification. By optimizing resource allocation, strengthening inter-industry collaboration, and enhancing risk resistance, the two jointly construct a channel for resilience improvement. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that in regions with higher levels of green credit, the synergistic effect of dualization on industrial chain resilience is stronger. In the eastern region, the impact of the dualization synergy on industrial chain resilience is more significant, while it is not significant in the central, western, and northeastern regions. To further enhance the resilience of the industrial chain, we should continue to improve the level of digital and green collaboration, increase support for technological innovation and infrastructure construction, and adopt differentiated strategies for regions with different levels of green finance development, as well as for the eastern, central, western, and northeastern regions, to promote the enhancement of industrial chain resilience.

    In the context of an aging population, facilitating the flow of data factor and encouraging enterprises to leverage public data to optimize contribution management are crucial for the sustainable development of the social security system. Taking A-share listed companies from 2007 to 2022 as samples, this study conducted a quasi natural experiment on the phased promotion of public data open platforms by local governments. A multi period double difference model is used to empirically test the impact and mechanism of data element sharing on corporate social security payment compliance. The findings reveal that data factor sharing can significantly enhance corporate social security payment compliance, and the higher the quality of data openness, the more helpful it is to improve the compliance of enterprises with social security contributions. In terms of the mechanism, data element sharing mainly promotes the improvement of corporate social security payment compliance through three paths: supervision effect, incentive effect, and empowerment effect. The heterogeneity analysis shows that there are significant differences in the improvement of corporate social security payment compliance through data element sharing in terms of corporate property rights and wage costs. The expansion test shows that data element sharing can significantly alleviate the difference in payment burden between enterprises and promote fairness in social security payment. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the policy of public data openness and continuously utilize data elements to promote the sustainable development of the social security system.

    Outpatient cost-sharing of basic medical insurance for employees is an inherent requirement for achieving national health. Based on the data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2020, this study empirically examines the impact of employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance on health inequality among middle-aged and elderly people by using methods such as the staggered double difference model, and further explores its mechanism and moderating effect. The findings show that employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance significantly alleviates health inequality among middle-aged and elderly people, but this alleviation effect is only reflected in the first year after policy implementation, and middle-aged and elderly people have not been able to continue to benefit. The mechanism analysis shows that employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance can further alleviate health inequality by leveraging the compensation effect of medical expenses and the incentive effect of health behavior. The moderation effect analysis reveals that the structural social capital will weaken the alleviating effect of employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance on health inequality. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the alleviation effect of outpatient cost-sharing of basic medical insurance for employees on health inequality is more pronounced in the female, elderly, and low education groups. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism for outpatient treatment, play the role of outpatient “health gatekeepers”, cultivate social capital of vulnerable groups in the middle-aged and elderly, and build a precise identification mechanism for outpatient mutual assistance, so as to promote the reform of employee medical insurance outpatient mutual assistance and release the dividends of common health.

    The socio-economic status and equality issues of rural women have always been of great concern to economists. However, the impact of marital status on rural women's non-agricultural employment, especially the impact of different first marriage ages on their non-agricultural employment, has not been fully discussed. Based on the fifth period cross-sectional data of CGSS (2013-2021), this study explores the effect of late marriage on the probability of rural women's non-agricultural employment. The research results indicate that compared to rural women who do not marry late, the probability of non-agricultural employment for women who marry late has been significantly increased, and that there is a significant“late marriage employment effect”. The mechanism analysis shows that the later the age of first marriage for rural women, the weaker the influence of traditional gender concepts and reproductive constraints, thereby helping them seek and obtain non-agricultural employment. The heterogeneity analysis indicates that this effect is weaker in the eastern and central regions, stronger in the western and northeastern regions, and has a greater impact on the populations born earlier. Further discussion reveals that rural women who marry later have a higher quality of non-agricultural employment, and that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the age of first marriage and non-agricultural employment and its quality. The optimal age for first marriage for rural women may be around 28 years old. Therefor, cultivating women's independent spirit, adjusting gender role expectations, and establishing basic beliefs against early marriage can help improve the work ability of married women in rural areas, and thus obtain more equal family and socio-economic status.

    Guiding the safe use of pesticides is of great significance for promoting the development of green agriculture and reducing the frequency of agricultural product safety incidents. Based on the 2022 survey data of family farms in Jiangxi Province, this study empirically analyzes the impact and mechanism of government service regulations on the willingness and behavior deviation of safe pesticide application in planting family farms. The results show that government service regulations can significantly reduce the probability of deviation in the willingness and behavior of safe pesticide application in family farms, and that different government service measures have heterogeneous effects on promoting the convergence of safe pesticide application behavior and willingness in family farms, i.e. the pesticide use technology training>government publicity>agricultural product quality certification services. This conclusion remains valid after robustness testing. The mechanism analysis shows that government service regulations promote the alignment of safe pesticide application behavior and willingness by enhancing the ecological value judgment, social value judgment, and economic value judgment of family farms. The heterogeneous results reveal that the impact of pesticide use technology training is more significant for family farms engaged in economic crops, and that government service regulations are more capable of promoting the transition of willingness to behavior for larger-scale family farms and Party member family farms. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen the construction of grassroots government service functions, optimize the content of service regulations, improve service accuracy, adhere to demand-oriented services, and guide Party member family farms and larger-scale family farms to play a leading role as examples.

    The development of Southeast Asian studies in China has been driven by the Chinese civilization, which is represented by Confucian culture, with its roots deeply embedded in ancient historical soil. This discipline has long adhered to the“China-centric”perspective, while also exhibiting cognitive inertia, a singular research framework, and methodological uniformity. Simultaneously, Chinese Southeast Asian studies have been theoretically influenced by Western narratives over an extended period. With the transformation of the Asia-Pacific regional order, China's growing influence in Southeast Asia has provided an interdisciplinary platform for the addition of first level disciplines in regional studies, promoting the shift in epistemology and the expansion of knowledge functions in Chinese Southeast Asian studies. During this process, the development of the discipline is not only reflected in the expansion of international perspectives, but also in the in-depth exploration of local experiences, and presents a two-way interactive trend. The knowledge system of Chinese Southeast Asian studies seeks a dynamic balance between a broader international perspective and local experiences. In the context of unprecedented changes, building a Chinese Southeast Asian studies with Chinese characteristics not only meets the needs of the times, but also contributes to enriching the theoretical framework of global Southeast Asian research.

    As a novel factor of production, the value generation of data fundamentally relies on the coupling mechanism between information systems and the physical world. Resolving the contradiction between the exclusivity of data property rights and the sociality of data utilization is a key issue in the construction of the data property rights system. While the Coase Theorem provides a methodological foundation for rights determination as a fundamental property theory, it does not prescribe the institutional framework itself. Distinguishing between the initial definition of rights and the reconfiguration of rights is a specific way of allocating resources for property rights. Compared to the traditional one-sided market data trading model, the value production of data has“informational”rather than“material”characteristics, and data exchange in two-sided markets is the dominant mode of data circulation and value realization. The data property rights system should aim to build a fair and healthy data circulation ecosystem, achieve a theoretical paradigm shift from“data ownership”to “data usage rights”, and provide solid theoretical support for the recognition of behavioral legitimacy and the reconfiguration of rights. According to the theory of reciprocity of data property rights, a utilization rights system should be constructed for data property rights, which should take full consideration of the multidimensional factors, such as the essential characteristics of data, market demand evolution, industry competition pattern, social public interests, and application scenario value orientation, and should scientifically allocate the rights and obligations between data processors, data sources, and the state.

    The construction of a collaborative management model for cross-border online dispute resolution (ODR) in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area aims to meet the needs of digital economic transformation and diversified dispute resolution in the Greater Bay Area. By comparing and analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the US industry autonomy model and the EU government intervention model, combined with the spirit of“prioritizing regional cooperation”, a cross-border collaborative management model that integrates the advantages of government intervention and industry autonomy is proposed. Firstly, although the industry autonomy model can stimulate market innovation vitality, it lacks unified industry norms and credibility; while the government intervention model can provide standardized norms, it may lag behind market demand. Secondly, the Greater Bay Area faces challenges such as a lack of specialized legislation, insufficient public trust in ODR, and incomplete supporting mechanisms, making it difficult to simply adopt the European and American models to solve problems. Furthermore, based on the experiences of Europe and America, the three regions should carry out credibility building through measures such as“transparency procedures”and“institutional certification”, adopt a“dual track system”to manage ODR service providers and unleash institutional innovation power, and use online collaboration platforms to promote online data and resource exchange supporting systems. Finally, the Greater Bay Area should establish a unified ODR industry standard through a joint meeting of the legal departments of the three regions, guide local cross-border collaboration to introduce special legislation, and mobilize dispute resolution institutions in the three regions to jointly build supporting mechanisms, thereby providing institutional innovation experience for national promotion and regional cooperation.
