主讲人简介：
Dr Lu Gram is a global health academic with over 14 years of experience leading research in low- and middle-income settings. He is a Sir Henry Wellcome Fellow at University College London, United Kingdom. He is a specialist in preventing violence against women, promoting women and communities' empowerment, and addressing the impacts of racism, discrimination, and xenophobia on poor health. His research focuses particularly on identifying and leveraging drivers of community action for health and social change. He has published 49 peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals such as World Development, Social Science and Medicine, and Lancet, with 2269 citations, and an H-index of 23 on Google Scholar. Dr Gram has strong relationships with government, third sector, and major international organizations, such as World Health Organization, built over years of collaboration.
摘要：
Global health and development projects are often designed and led by experts with insufficient knowledge of or connection to local contexts. This can result in interventions that do not work, because they poorly match the needs of local people, clash with local culture, or are unaffordable to local people. Community empowerment takes as a starting point the idea that ordinary people are experts in their own lives and ought to be involved in decisions about interventions targeting their own health. In this talk, Dr Gram will provide overview of his own and colleagues’ research at the Institute for Global Health, University College London, on the design and evaluation of community empowerment interventions in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which have been proven highly cost-effective in reducing neonatal mortality in high-mortality settings. He will reflect upon the implications of these findings for theories of behaviour change, particularly theories of collective action to provide non-excludable goods.

摘要：
China's land reform initiated since the late 1940s aimed to equitably redistribute land to peasants. Leveraging the gradual rollout and the varying intensity of the reform, we empirically examine the impact of wealth redistribution on fertility in rural China. Our county-level analysis reveals that the reform led to a 4.5% increase in the annual number of new births on average, with a stronger impact observed in counties with a higher intensity of the reform. We further conduct the individual-level analysis to shed light on the mechanism driving the observed increase in fertility following wealth redistribution. The results reveal that the rise in fertility rate after the land reform was not limited to poor peasants; it also extended to middle peasants whose wealth remained relatively stable. This finding suggests that the fertility effect of wealth redistribution is not purely driven by changes in individual wealth but also by the perceived inequality level within the community.

摘要：
新时代新征程，加快形成新质生产力是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的必然选择，具有奠定发展基础的重大意义。习近平总书记强调，“新质生产力是创新起主导作用，摆脱传统经济增长方式、生产力发展路径，具有高科技、高效能、高质量特征，符合新发展理念的先进生产力质态。它由技术革命性突破、生产要素创新性配置、产业深度转型升级而催生，以劳动者、劳动资料、劳动对象及其优化组合的跃升为基本内涵，以全要素生产率大幅提升为核心标志，特点是创新，关键在质优，本质是先进生产力”。因此，“新质生产力”理论的产生顺应了高质量发展的时代要求，其“新”表现为新的生产要素和新的要素结合方式，其“质”体现为高质的产业基础和发展动能，二者引发生产方式的更新和发展效果的质变。本次讲座将结合发展新质生产力的时代背景、实践路径、重点方向深入探析新质生产力的科学内涵。

摘要：
Many developed countries have seen employment shifting away from middle-paying occupations towards both higher and lower paid ones. This polarisation phenomenon is often explained by Routine Biased Technical Change (RBTC). This paper offers a complementary explanation that emphasises the increasing supply of skills and endogenous adoption of routine-biased technology. I develop an estimate an equilibrium model that can explain all major trends about occupations in the UK, including the absence of wage polarisation and lack of occupational downgrading within graduates. The counterfactual analysis suggests that the shift in skills supply alone can explain over half of the employment shifts.

摘要：
This paper tests the social contract view of the state within the realm of pollution control. Using a unique dataset on firm-level emission records from China, we find that firms with prior local government subsidies achieved greater emission reductions after a national pollution control campaign, likely through output cuts and clean technology adoption. Such reductions, which we interpret as driven by reciprocity between firms and governments, were more pronounced for firms with a greater desire to reciprocate the government and paid off as higher future government subsidies. We find little support for other mechanisms, such as reduced financial constraints, political connections, and forced reductions. In aggregate, regions that previously granted more subsidies to firms witnessed greater reductions in pollution concentrations.

摘要：
This talk contains two parts. Its first part investigates the “bag of little bootstraps”, a bootstrap designed for massive data. In classic statistical inference, the bootstrap stands out as a simple, powerful, and data-driven technique. However, when coping with massive data sets, which are increasingly prevalent these days, the bootstrap can be computationally infeasible. To speed up the bootstrap for massive data sets, the bag of little bootstraps was invented in 2014. Despite its considerable popularity, little is known about the bag of little bootstraps’s theoretical properties, including reliability. Indeed, our preliminary results have already raised questions on the applicability of the bag of little bootstraps under a simple but important setting. This part will first introduce the bag of little bootstraps procedure and then investigate its theoretical applicability. Specifically, for this applicability, this part will present a counterexample for the claimed sufficient condition in the literature and will, as a remedy, provide a (hopefully) correct, generic sufficient condition. This part is joint with L. Peng, P. Bertail, D. Politis, H. Shang, and S. Volgushev.
This talk’s second part introduces the bootstrap for chaotic dynamical systems. After its establishment in the late 19th century through the efforts of Poincaré and Lyapunov, the theory of dynamical systems was applied to study processes that change over time. Despite their deterministic nature, dynamical systems can exhibit incomprehensibly chaotic behaviors and seemingly random patterns. Consequently, a dynamical system is usually represented by a probabilistic model, in which the unknown parameters must be estimated using statistical methods. To measure the uncertainty of such estimation, we develop a bootstrap method and establish its consistency and second-order efficiency via continuous Edgeworth expansions. This part is joint with K. Fernando.

摘要：
Outstanding public debts constrain a government's ability to address climate and environmental issues. We investigate the green impact of debt overhang using China's local government debt restructuring in 2015. Cities with previously heavier debt burdens subsequently experience larger improvements in air quality after debt restructuring. We also find larger increases in environmental penalties and polluting firms obtaining more green patents. Within a city, the impact is more pronounced in areas with higher initial pollution. Alternative factors such as environmental inspection movements and other city-level characteristics cannot fully explain our results. Our paper offers novel supporting evidence for "debt-for-climate/nature" swap arrangements.

摘要：
Financial inclusion programs launched by international organizations have emphasized the importance of financial knowledge for the success of enterprises. Yet empirical evidence on the role of financial knowledge in a business environment is limited, which is primarily due to data availability. Taking advantage of a survey covering a group of entrepreneurs of small businesses in China, we show that better financially literate entrepreneurs prefer to hold more cash and maintain lower leverages. These entrepreneurs also exhibit a stronger (weaker) preference for financing through retained earnings and external financing sources (owners’ own funds). Our results remain unchanged after controlling for entrepreneurs’ risk preference, time preference and optimism toward future performance. The results of tests using transaction data indicate that enterprises with better financially literate entrepreneurs make higher sales and have lower reduction in average sales during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, we provide novel evidence on the role of financial literacy in shaping entrepreneurs’ financial policy preferences.
