    Taking the data of SMEs in Chinese market from 2010 to 2021 as the research sample, this paper focuses on the impact of commercial banks’ digital transformation on the credit availability of SMEs and the role of banking governance represented by financial regulation and financial competition in the process of commercial banks’ digital transformation on the credit availability of SMEs. The findings show that the digital transformation of commercial banks can significantly improve the credit availability of SMEs and enhance the inclusive financial services for SMEs. The relationship between the banking governance represented by financial regulation and financial competition and the credit availability of SMEs presents a nonlinear inverted“U”shape, that is, there is an optimal intensity of financial regulation and degree of financial competition, which optimizes the credit availability of SMEs. In the process of banking governance affecting the credit availability of SMEs, the digital transformation of commercial banks will affect the optimal intensity of financial regulation and degree of financial competition to optimize the credit availability of SMEs, that is, the higher the level of digital transformation of commercial banks, the higher the optimal financial regulatory intensity and the degree of financial competition that can optimize the credit availability of SMEs. The above-mentioned conclusions have important policy implications for in-depth implementation of financial regulation and correct guidance of financial competition, so as to better promote the digital transformation of commercial banks and improve the availability of credit for SMEs.

    The high-quality development of tourist industry is an important foundation and strong support for promoting Chinese-style modernization. Scientifically measuring and evaluating the level and the changing trend of high-quality development of regional tourism has important theoretical and practical significance. On the basis of defining the connotation of high-quality development of tourist industry, this paper constructs an evaluation index system of high-quality development of tourist industry under the guidance of the new development concept and the sustainable development theory; then it measures and evaluates the level of high-quality development of the tourist industry in 30 provinces in China. The results show thatfrom 2011 to 2019, the high-quality development level of tourism in China generally shows an upward trend year by year, and the industrial development level, the social harmony level, the innovation ability, the cultural and tourism integration degree, and the ecological protection level have been significantly improved. From 2020 to 2021, due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, although the overall development level and the industrial development level have declined, the scores of the other four indicators continued to rise, which reflects that the high-quality development level of tourism of China is constantly improving with the process of high-quality development of China. However, the high-quality development level of tourism in different provinces is significantly different, and the overall development quality is at a medium level. There is still a long way to reachthe high-quality development standards. In the future, to improve the high-quality development level of tourism, we should focus on optimizing the industrial structure, improving the quality of tourism innovation, deepening the integration of culture and tourism, strengthening ecological protection, and other aspects.

    As an important means to urge the local governments to perform environmental protection duties and implement environmental policies, the Central Environmental Protection Inspection has a significant impact on the construction of ecological civilization in China. Taking the A-share listed industrial enterprises from 2012 to 2019 as samples, this paper employs the multi-period DID model to investigate the impact of the implementation of the central environmental inspection policies on the environmental performance of enterprises. The findings shows that: (1) the implementation of the Central Environmental Protection Inspection has significantly increased the enterprises’ environmental performance; (2) the Central Environmental Protection Inspection mainly improves the environmental performance of enterprises by strengthening the environmental governance of local governments and the environmental attention of the senior management teams; (3) good external environment, i.e., the level of urban green finance, the level of regional economic development, the analysts’ attention and the perfect internal corporate governance, can strengthen the positive impact of the Central Environmental Inspection on the environmental performance of enterprises; (4) the environmental governance effect of the Central Environmental Protection Inspection is different due to the nature of property rights and pollution degree of enterprises. Compared to state-owned enterprises, the private enterprises are more sensitive to the implementation of the Central Environmental Inspection policies, and the improvement of the enterprise environmental performance is more significant. While in the inside of the state-owned enterprises, the local state-owned enterprises are more sensitive to the Central Environmental Inspection policies than the central state-owned ones. Compared with the non-heavily polluting enterprises, the Central Environmental Inspection has a greater impact on the environmental performance of heavily polluting enterprises.

    Green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, and the concept of ecological civilization of Xi Jinping is the key to implementing the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, promoting high-quality economic development, and promoting the construction of a beautiful China. To realize the ecological value of the counties is a key issue in implementing the“Two Mountains”concept and promoting high-quality economic and social development. Based on the panel data of all the top 100 counties from 2011 to 2020 in the“Top 100 Counties (Cities) in China’s County Economy and County Basic Competitiveness”released in The Research on China’ Economic Top 100 Counties, 2021, this paper calculates the development level of green finance at county level, and conducts an empirical test of the impact of green finance on the realization of the ecological product value at county level. The findings show that green finance has a significant positive impact on the value realization of county-level ecological products. Based on this, it proposes the relevant countermeasures and suggestions to further improve the green financial system, increase the support for green innovation, and promote the cooperation between counties, so as to provide decision-making reference for promoting the realization of the ecological values in counties in the new development stage.

    Manufacturing servitization is an important direction to realize the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry. Based on the measurement of the servitization and openness of China’s manufacturing industry, this paper makes an empirical test on the relationship between the servitization of the manufacturing industry and the international division of labor of the manufacturing industry, as well as the regulatory effect of the opening-up of the service industry by using the data of the microcosmic enterprises. The results show that the servitization of the manufacturing industry is generally conducive to the improvement of the status of international division of labor, and that the opening-up of the service industry can enhance the promotion effect. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the wholesale and retail servitization, the financial and insurance servitization and the professional science and technology servitization can all significantly improve the status of international division of labor of the manufacturing industry, while the transportation servitization and the information and communication servitization will inhibit the status of international division of labor of the manufacturing industry.The servitization of the manufacturing industry plays the strongest role in the technology-intensive manufacturing industry and the weakest role in the labor-intensive manufacturing industry. In terms of the action mechanism, technology spillover plays an intermediary role in the process of the servitization of the manufacturing industry affecting the status of international division of labor of the manufacturing industry.

    Incentivizing companies to take a certain level of risk to promote R&D innovation contributes to the high-quality development of the real economy. Based on the theoretical framework of the local information advantages, this paper takes the establishment of the administrative examination and approval centers as a quasi-natural experiment to systematically investigate the impact of the reform of the administrative examination and approval system on the level of corporate risk taking. The results show that the reform of the approval system can significantly improve the level of enterprise risk taking, and this effect is more significant in the companies with higher degree of information dispersion of investment opportunities. The above research conclusions are still valid after the endogenous and robustness tests. The heterogeneity test reveals that in the samples located in the regions with higher marketization or with lower degree of client concentration, the reform of the administrative approval system has a more significant effect on the improvement of enterprise risk bearing level.The test of the action mechanism reveals that the reform of the administrative approval system has significantly improved the investment flexibility and the market competition degree. From the perspective of risk bearing, the research conclusion has revealed the economic effects brought forward by the reform of the administrative approval system and its inner mechanism, it also has a certain enlightenment to further promote the reform of simplifying administrative procedures and delegating powers to lower levels.

    Based on the samples of 112 small and medium-sized banks from 2011 to 2021, this paper analyzes the impact of digital transformation on the risk level of banks from the perspective of mathematical models and empirical studies, meanwhile, it includes the impact of digital transformation on the risk level of banks in the framework of capital replenishment for the analysis. The results show that, firstly, the impact of digital transformation on the risk of small and medium-sized banks has an inverted“U”structure, and this finding still holds after a series of robustness and endogeneity tests; secondly, the heterogeneity tests conducted in terms of size, region, and whether being listed reveals that digital transformation has a higher impact on the larger-scale banks and the small and medium-sized banks located in the eastern region, while the digital transformation of listed banks has a better inhibitory effect on bank risks than that of non-listed banks; thirdly, if capital supplements are provided to small and medium-sized banks in the process of digital transformation, it will also have a moderating effect on the level of bank risks. The above findings suggest that small and medium-sized banks should continue to increase their digital transformation efforts to curb bank risks, and that capital supplements should also be provided to small and medium-sized banks to increase their digital transformation ability to curb bank risks.

    Abstract88)            Save
    Based on the agency cost theory and the trade-off theory, this paper firstly builds a theoretical model to illustrate the effects of economic policy uncertainty on corporate debt maturity structure. Then it uses the quarterly data of China’s listed companies from 2007 to 2021 to conduct empirical tests. The findings of the theoretical model indicate that banks issue long-term loans tofirmswhen economic policy uncertainty is low and short-term loans to firms when economic policy uncertainty is high. The empirical study confirms the conclusion of the theoretical model: with the raising of economic policy uncertainty, the proportion of long term debt will first rise then descend. Considering the endogenous problems such as measurement error and omitted variables, the above conclusion is still significantly valid. The heterogeneity analysis reveals that the critical value of the effects of economic policy uncertainty on the proportion of long-term debt from positive to negative is lower in small firms, private firms and firms located in the regions with low degree of marketization, while it is higher in large firms, state-owned firms and firms located in regions with higher degree of marketization.

    Abstract91)            Save
    From the glorious achievements of ancient China, the“great divergence”of modernization and development between the East and the West, and the suffering of modern China to a great country with open economy, the law of historical development shows that openness, inclusiveness and mutual learning among civilizations are the only path for a country, especially a major country, to become prosperous and strong. However, in the face of the rapid rise of emerging economies represented by China, the developed countries have set off a new round of anti-globalization wave with the means of the large-scale trade friction and technological blockade against China, the“de-Sinification”of the global industrial chain layout, and the re-formulation of high-standard international economic and trade rules. Thus China's open economic development is faced with a huge test. Therefore, China has comprehensively accelerated the transformation of an open economy by expanding new space for opening-up, accelerating institution-based opening-up, advocating a new type of globalization, and speeding up the interconnected double circulation both at home and abroad. In order to comprehensively promote Chinese style modernization, China should continuously expand its high-level opening to the outside world, constantly enhanceits endogenous growth capacity, pay more attention to the construction of domestic institutions, lay more emphasis on the integration of domestic and foreign resources, and strive for prosperity through both internal and external cultivation.

    Based on the implementation of the unconventional monetary policies by the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank from 2008 to 2021, this study divides the implementation stages and policy types uniformly, compares the policy tools and transmission mechanisms of the United States and Europe, and uses the TVP-VAR model to compare the policy transmission effects of different channels, so as to explore the time, performance and reasons for the differentiation of unconventional monetary policies in the United States and Europe. The findings show that unconventional monetary policies in the United States and Europe have differentiated in the early stages of crises and the crisis responding stages, exhibiting multi-dimensional differentiation in terms of operation stage, policy tools, policy objectives, and policy effects. The differences in such aspects as economic fundamentals, sources of crisis outbreaks, crisis response methods, and policy implementation effects between the United States and Eurozone countries have led to the multi-dimensional differentiation of unconventional monetary policies between the Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank. Based on the policy characteristics and the basic national conditions, when implementing unconventional monetary policies, China should strengthen risk control and attach importance to international risks, implement strategies timely and precisely, make good use of tool combinations, strengthen policy communication, make clear commitments, grasp the overall economic situation, and coordinate the policies.

    In the context of the“double first-class”construction, it is of great practical significance to study the influence of the central and local fiscal decentralization(represented by the fiscal autonomy) on the efficiency of higher education resource allocation. According to the fiscal decentralization theory and the requirements of the New Budget Law, this paper brings the part of not-specified purpose in the transfer payments from the central to local governments into the local discretionary fiscal resourcesand designs the new-type of refined fiscal autonomy index. By employing the three-stage DEA-Tobit model and the Gini coefficient as well as the subgroup decomposition method, it evaluates the efficiency of the higher education resource allocation of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) from 2016 to 2020 in China, points out the differences between the eastern China, central China and western China, and explores the influence of fiscal autonomy on the higher education resource allocation efficiency. The findings show that the allocation efficiency of China's higher education resources presents a trend of fluctuating and rising, and there exists some regional imbalance. The fiscal autonomy is positively correlated to the efficiency of higher education resource allocation. Improving the fiscal autonomy in the western region is most conducive to enhancing the efficiency of higher education resource allocation. The fiscal decentralization is the most important factoramong the dominant factors to promote the higher education resource allocation efficiency. Based on this conclusion, this paper puts forward such suggestions as increasing the proportion of the transfer payments of non specified purpose within the general transfer payment, optimizing the fiscal input mechanism of colleges and universities, promote the integrated industry-university-research cooperation, form the industrial chain with local characteristicand so on, so as to promote the construction of“double first-class”and improve the management level of the higher education.

    The radiation impact of public health fiscal expenditure in provincial capitals is an important perspective to explore the construction path and development mode of provincial public health system. Based on the“siphonic effect”and“diffusing effect”, this paper uses the panel data of 233 prefecture-level cities to conduct theoretical construction and empirical exploration on the radiation impact of public health financial expenditure in provincial capitals. The results show that, in terms of the radiating capacity, although the radiating capacity of public health financial expenditure in provincial capitals is increasing, only the relative changes of the radiating capacity in central and northeast provincial capitals are consistent with the absolute changes, and the radiation intensity is increased and the scope is expanded. In terms of the radiation effect, the“diffusing effect”is greater than the “siphonic effect”, and the radiation impact of public health financial expenditure in provincial capitals is generally positive, that is, through the“double engine”drive of increasing the share deviation and strengthening structural advantages, it can significantly stimulate the incremental expansion of the public health financial expenditure in non-provincial capital cities. Further analysis shows that the radiation impact and action path of public health financial expenditure in provincial capitals have significant regionalheterogeneity, Therefore, in order to promote the network construction and coordinated development of urban clusters of modern public health system, we should give full play to the demonstration effect of provincial capitals and provide supporting measures according to local conditions.

    In recent years, the effect ofcorporate governanceof state-owned enterprises participated by Party committees has become the focus of academic circles. In the context of thegreen transformation implemented by enterprises, which is promoted vigorously by the state, this paper constructsthe quantitative evaluation indexfor the Party committee participation in corporate governance of SOEs with a total of 32 secondary indicators from four dimensions in accordance with The Regulations on the Work of CPC Grassroots Organizations in State-Owned Enterprises (Trial), and with reference to the policies and regulations related to the Party committee participation in corporate governance of SOEs. Taking the heavily polluting state controlled companies listed in A-share market from 2013 to 2020 as samples, this paper studies the impact of the Party committee participation in corporate governance on the fulfillment of SOEs' environmental responsibilities. The empirical results show that the Party committee participation in corporate governance can effectively promote the environmental protection investment of SOEs. At the same time, with the implementation of the“mixed ownership reform”in SOEs, the Party committee participation in corporate governance can effectively reduce the adverse impacts on the environmental protection investment of SOEs in the process of the“mixed ownership reform”.

    As a cutting-edge technology industry, the high-tech industryis confronted with such a question as how can it achieve its high-quality development and improve its resilience in the face of external shocks, which has become a hotspotfor present researches. Based on provincial panel data from 2011 to 2019, this paper makes a calculation to obtain the numerical values of digital economy, business environment and high-tech industry resilience with the entropy method. Then based onthe theoretical analysis, it empirically tests the impact effect of digital economy on the resilience of high-tech industry, the impact mechanism and the adjustment effect of business environment with the econometric model. The results show that, the digital economy has a positive impact on the resilience of high-tech industries on the whole, and a good business environment can enhance the promotion of the digital economy on the resilience of high-tech industries. The heterogeneity test shows that the promotion effect of digital economy on industrial resilience varies from region to region, and the spillover effect on the eastern region is greater. The result of further impact mechanism test shows that the digital economy will promote the resilience of high-tech industries by promoting industrial upgrading and improving industrial innovation capacity.
