  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.

  • Rice, State Capacity, and Economic Transformation in China
    Rice, State Capacity, and Economic Transformation in China Yuhua Wang∗ July 17, 2015 Abstract I propose an agricultural theory of economic transformation that rice cultivation is conducive to market reform. Using sub-national data from China, I show that market reform is more successful in rice than in wheat regions after controlling for income, policy, geography, and interest groups, and that the effect of rice is as important as geography. Exploiting a geographic regression discontinuity design based on China’s Qin Mountains-Huai River line, I show that rice has a causal effect on reform outcome. Causal mediation analysis and historical evidence demonstrate that rice cultivation contributes to a market economy through strong state fiscal capacity, rather than through culture or public support, because it necessitates large water- control projects that require a strong state. The agricultural theory pushes back the causal chain to find a structurally deeper cause of reform outcomes in the developing world. Caution should be exercised when generalizing the theory outside Asia. Word Count: 11,068 ∗Yuhua Wang is assistant professor of Government at Harvard University ([email protected]. edu). I would like to thank Thomas Talhelm for sharing the provincial-level rice data, Elizabeth Perry, Margaret Pearson, Avery Goldstein, Marc Meredith, Guy Grossman, Alex Weisiger, Sarah Bush, Matt Levendusky, Julia Gray, Luke Keele, Jean Hong, and participants at seminars or workshops at Harvard, Princeton, and Penn for comments, and Jizhe Yang for providing excellent research assistance. All errors remain my own. 1 One of the most dramatic political events in the last three decades is the collapse of communism and the transition to market economies in the post-communist world.
