Abstract	The development of the digital economy has changed human lifestyles and production and provided a new approach to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As an important indicator reflecting both economic growth and ecological protection, the green economic efficiency (GEE) indicator is employed to express the level of sustainable development. By building an indicator system, introducing carbon dioxide emissions as an unexpected output and using a super-efficient slack-based measure (SBM) model, the the GEE of 273 cities in China are calculated. The development level of digital economy is calculated through principal component analysis (PCA). Unlike previous provincial-level studies, this study focuses on analyzing at the urban level. This study then uses a fixed effect model to analyze the effect of the digital economy on urban GEE. Based on various aspects, the transmission mechanisms of the digital economy on GEE have also been deeply analyzed. The results indicate that the digital economy has a positive effect on GEE. This conclusion is validated by endogeneity analysis and other robustness tests. The digital economy has a positive influence on urban GEE in Eastern, Central and Northeastern China. In large cities, medium-sized cities and cities with stricter governmental environmental regulations, the effect of the digital economy on GEE is more prominent. The mechanism analysis indicates that the digital economy mainly promotes urban GEE through the technological innovation effect, industrial structure optimization, energy structure transformation and market-oriented development. This study clarifies the role of the digital economy in advancing GEE and provides a reference to promote ecological development in developing countries.

Abstract	IntroductionPromoting the reemployment of retirees is important to effectively recognize the capacity of older adults and to help governments cope with an aging global population. Existing research on the factors that impact reemployment has mainly focused on the role of traditional forms of human capital, like education and experience, while ignoring non-cognitive skills.MethodsBased on 3,693 samples, this study examines the impact of non-cognitive skills on the reemployment of Chinese retirees using the Logit model through the lens of human capital theory.ResultsThe results show that non-cognitive skills incentivize retirees to seek reemployment. The incentive effect is greater for retirees who are male, live in a rural household, and are of lower age and education level. Further, the mediation effect model reveals the mediating role of social capital between non-cognitive skills and the reemployment of retirees. Social capital is important to the promotion of retiree reemployment.DiscussionThis study ultimately sheds light on the relationship between non-cognitive skills and the reemployment of retirees. Findings will help improve governments’ understandings of non-cognitive skills so that they may develop better policies on retiree reemployment.

Abstract	Based on theoretical analysis, this study examines the relationship between the development of China’s digital economy and the urban–rural income gap by using an empirical model to test panel data for 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2019. The results of the study reveal that (1) there is a “U-shaped” relationship between the digital economy and the urban–rural income gap, with the gap narrowing in the early stages of development and widening in the medium-to-long term. (2) The development of the digital economy in peripheral regions will have an impact on the urban–rural income gap in the region through spatial spillover. (3) The heterogeneity tests reveal that the digital economy has a stronger impact on the urban–rural income gap in western China and a weaker impact in the east. (4) A double difference test using “Broadband Rural” construction as a policy shock variable reveals that the pilot project helped reduce the urban–rural income gap. This study deepens our understanding of the digital economy for integrated urban–rural development. It provides a theoretical basis and practical experience for enhancing the living standard of rural residents and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas.

Abstract	To pursue sustainable and balanced economic development, it is urgent to transform the economic development models from investment-driven to consumption-led. Factors underlying the consumption pattern of households in China, especially the rising wealth and its impact, deserve special attention from both policy makers and academic researchers. This paper aims to investigate how asset portfolios, consisting of housing asset, financial asset, production asset, durable asset, and vehicle asset affect consumption behavior based on household panel data. It is proved that the composition of asset portfolios significantly affects consumption of households. Asset levels and asset prices have positive influences on household consumption. Furthermore, various household assets have different impacts on household consumption patterns, divided into living type, developing type, and enjoying type of consumption, especially there is a larger wealth effect on developing type of consumption. More importantly, it shows a pattern of urban and rural dual economic structure. The disparity is even higher from a wealth perspective. The availability to wealth is of great importance. Therefore, the findings suggest inclusive financial reforms to create conditions for promoting property income and facilitating financial capacity of households, which is necessary for policy formation of Chinese economic transition.

Abstract	The Carbon Generalized System of Preferences (CGSP) is an innovative incentive mechanism implemented by the Chinese government to calculate and reward the public's low-carbon behaviors. To identify the factors influencing the public's willingness to participate in the CGSP, this study constructs a novel theoretical framework by integrating personal innovativeness, environmental concern and incentives into the technology acceptance model. The empirical analysis was conducted using a mixed method based on surveys from 631 Chinese consumers. Results show that the theoretical framework proposed in this paper can provide a robust rationale for exploring public's willingness to participate in the CGSP. Attitude, environmental concern, perceived usefulness, personal innovativeness, and incentives are determinants regarding the public's willingness to participate in the CGSP. Of these, the first four factors are necessary conditions to realize the residents' high willingness to participate. Additionally, incentives and personal innovativeness were shown to be key antecedents of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. This study could help policymakers better understand public attitudes and willingness to participate in the CGSP and provide useful practical implications for promoting the CGSP. The findings contribute valuable insights to future research on the adoption of environmental innovation technologies.

Abstract	Whether the digital economy can effectively promote agricultural green development is crucial to the realization of agricultural rural modernization. This study empirically analyzes the impact of the digital economy on agricultural green development and the mechanism of action based on panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2011 to 2020. The results reveal that (1) the digital economy can significantly improve the green development level of China’s agriculture; the dividends in the eastern region and central region are significantly higher than that in the western region, and there is regional heterogeneity. (2) The role of the digital economy in promoting agricultural green development has a nonlinear characteristic of increasing “marginal effect.” (3) The digital economy has a significant spatial spillover effect, which can have a positive impact on agricultural green development in the surrounding areas. (4) The construction of “Broadband Countryside” can improve the development of the rural digital economy and indirectly promote agricultural green development. This study deepens our understanding of the internal effect and interval relationship of how the digital economy enables agricultural green development and provides the theoretical basis and practical suggestions for optimizing digital facility construction and high-quality agricultural development.

Abstract	This study aims to evaluate the effect of the green finance reform and innovation pilot zone (GFPZ) policy on urban green development. Based on city-level panel data in China from 2012 to 2019, a difference-in-differences model was employed to examine the effects of China's GFPZ policy on the city's green total factor productivity (GTFP). Results show that (1) the GFPZ policy has promoted the GTFP of pilot cities, a conclusion that still holds after performing multiple robustness tests. (2) Compared to non-pilot cities, the GFPZ policy can increase urban GTFP by promoting urban green innovation and reducing urban energy intensity. (3) The GFPZ policy had a more significant impact on mega cities and resource-based cities than on medium and big-sized cities and non-resource-based cities. This study provides new empirical evidence on how green finance influences urban green development and offers China's experience to policymakers worldwide to develop green finance in top-level policy design and practice.

Abstract	Saving water is a common responsibility of all humanity, which is essential for achieving sustainable use of global water resources. The aim of this study is to discover the determinants of an individual's intention to save water. Based on the theory of planned behavior, a novel comprehensive framework has been developed by extending environmental concern, perceived risk, and information publicity. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to perform an empirical analysis with data from questionnaire of 265 residents in Jinan, the famous Chinese "Spring City". The findings indicate that residents have a strong environmental concern and water-saving intention with mean values of 6.78 and 6.67, respectively. Attitude and information publicity are the most important antecedents of water-saving intention, followed by subjective norms and perceived behavioral control. Environmental concern and perceived risk indirectly affect the intention to save water through attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The role of environmental concern is more important than the role of perceived risk. Interestingly, a high level of information publicity may strengthen the impact of attitude on water-saving intention but weaken the impact of perceived behavioral control. This study strongly supplements current knowledge on water-saving behavior. Moreover, these findings provide insights for policymakers to motivate people to save water.

Abstract	Food safety is related to public health, social welfare, and human survival, all of which are important and pressing areas of concern all over the world. The government plays an increasingly important role in the supervision of food safety. The role of the government, however, is also controversial. Using provincial panel data of China from 2005 to 2015, the present study intends to shed light on the associations between government intervention and food safety performance under two scenarios of local government—competition and noncompetition. This will be accomplished through an exploratory spatial data analysis and a spatial econometric model. The results reveal negative associations between food safety performance and government intervention without considering local government competition. As was also observed, government intervention not only inhibits the improvement of food safety in the region, but also has a negative spatial spillover effect on food safety in neighboring provinces. This is the result after considering government competition, thus, showing the competitive strategic interaction of the “race to the bottom”. Further analysis reveals that, if geographically similar regions are selected as reference objects, the food safety performance of each province will have a stronger tendency to compete for the better. If regions with similar economic development levels are selected as reference objects, food safety performance will have a stronger tendency to compete for the worse. This work provides new evidence for the relationships between government intervention and food safety, and, also, proposes some insightful implications for policymakers for governing food safety.
