  • Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: a Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values*
    Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: A Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values* Yang You† Harvard University This draft: July 2018 Abstract I use a quasi-random urban-dweller allocation in rural areas during Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement to identify human capital externalities in education, employment, and social values. First, rural residents acquired an additional 0.1-0.2 years of education from a 1% increase in the density of sent-down youth measured by the number of sent-down youth in 1969 over the population size in 1982. Second, as economic outcomes, people educated during the rustication period suffered from less non-agricultural employment in 1990. Conversely, in 2000, they enjoyed increased hiring in all non-agricultural occupations and lower unemployment. Third, sent-down youth changed the social values of rural residents who reported higher levels of trust, enhanced subjective well-being, altered trust from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine, and shifted job attitudes from objective cognitive assessments to affective job satisfaction. To explore the mechanism, I document that sent-down youth served as rural teachers with two new county-level datasets. Keywords: Human Capital Externality, Sent-down Youth, Rural Educational Development, Employment Dynamics, Social Values, Culture JEL: A13, N95, O15, I31, I25, I26 * This paper was previously titled and circulated, “Does living near urban dwellers make you smarter” in 2017 and “The golden era of Chinese rural education: evidence from Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement 1968-1980” in 2015.

  • Research on Employment Difficulties and the Reasons of Typical
    2017 3rd International Conference on Education and Social Development (ICESD 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-444-8 Research on Employment Difficulties and the Reasons of Typical Resource-Exhausted Cities in Heilongjiang Province during the Economic Transition Wei-Wei KONG1,a,* 1School of Public Finance and Administration, Harbin University of Commerce, Harbin, China [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Typical Resource-Exhausted Cities, Economic Transition, Employment. Abstract. The highly correlation between the development and resources incurs the serious problems of employment during the economic transition, such as greater re-employment population, lower elasticity of employment, greater unemployed workers in coal industry. These problems not only hinder the social stability, but also slow the economic transition and industries updating process. We hope to push forward the economic transition of resource-based cities and therefore solve the employment problems through the following measures: developing specific modern agriculture and modern service industry, encouraging and supporting entrepreneurships, implementing re-employment trainings, strengthening the public services systems for SMEs etc. Background According to the latest statistics from the State Council for 2013, there exists 239 resource-based cities in China, including 31 growing resource-based cities, 141 mature, and 67 exhausted. In the process of economic reform, resource-based cities face a series of development challenges. In December 2007, the State Council issued the Opinions on Promoting the Sustainable Development of Resource-Based Cities. The National Development and Reform Commission identified 44 resource-exhausted cities from March 2008 to March 2009, supporting them with capital, financial policy and financial transfer payment funds. In the year of 2011, the National Twelfth Five-Year Plan proposed to promote the transformation and development of resource-exhausted area.

  • Optimization Path of the Freight Channel of Heilongjiang Province
    2017 3rd International Conference on Education and Social Development (ICESD 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-444-8 Optimization Path of the Freight Channel of Heilongjiang Province to Russia 1,a,* 2,b Jin-Ping ZHANG , Jia-Yi YUAN 1Harbin University of Commerce, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China 2International Department of Harbin No.9 High School, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China [email protected], [email protected] * Corresponding author Keywords: Heilongjiang Province, Russia, Freight Channel, Optimization Path. Abstract. Heilongjiang Province becomes the most important province for China's import and export trade to Russia due to its unique geographical advantages and strong complementary between industry and product structure. However, the existing problems in the trade freight channel layout and traffic capacity restrict the bilateral trade scale expansion and trade efficiency improvement. Therefore, the government should engage in rational distribution of cross-border trade channel, strengthen infrastructure construction in the border port cities and node cities, and improve the software support and the quality of service on the basis of full communication and coordination with the relevant Russian government, which may contribute to upgrade bilateral economic and trade cooperation. Introduction Heilongjiang Province is irreplaceable in China's trade with Russia because of its geographical advantages, a long history of economic and trade cooperation, and complementary in industry and product structures. Its total value of import and export trade to Russia account for more than 2/3 of the whole provinces and nearly 1/4 of that of China. After years of efforts, there exist both improvement in channel infrastructure, layout and docking and problems in channel size, functional positioning and layout, as well as important node construction which do not match with cross-border freight development.

  • Planning and Brand Communication for Ice-Snow Sports Tourism Products in the Arctic Village of Mohe County
    CONVERTER MAGAZINE Volume 2021, No. 5 Planning and Brand Communication for Ice-snow Sports Tourism Products in the Arctic Village of Mohe County Wei Gao, Xiaoguo Chang Harbin Finance University, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China Abstract Locating in the northernmost region of China, the Arctic Village of Mohe County is enlisted as one of the most charming tourist attractions of China for the unique resources and landscapes, such as “northernmost location”, magical astronomical phenomena and arctic ice-snow. However, it failed to explore domestic and foreign markets yet due to the poor promotion of government, thus resulting in the low consumer brand recognition. Combining with existing tourism resources in the Arctic Village, this study proposed an appropriate product planning based on the national promotion of “ice-snow tourism”. Meanwhile, great efforts were made to the propagation and publicity of the brand to improve brand influence of the Arctic Village. The ice-snow resources in surrounding region were integrated to promote the tourism development in the whole Heilongjiang Province. Keywords:Arctic Village, ice-snow tourism, product planning, brand communication I.Overview of related theories 1.1Elaboration of Concept of Ice-Snow Sports Tourism Currently, no definition on the concept of ice-snow sports tourism has been proposed yet. The foreign scholar Hall proposed in a relevant study in 1992 that “sports tourism shall be a non-commercial tourism activity that participates or watches sports activities, but is beyond the daily life range.” Li Guang and Li Yanling, two Chinese scholars, declared that “ice-snow tourism refers to various athletic activities based on ice and snow resources and the sum of tourism destinations, tourism society and tourism enterprises.” Among most opinions of Chinese and foreign scholars, ice-snow sports tourism is a branch of sports tourism and it has characteristics of both sports tourism and ice-snow tourism.
