High-speed railway has an essential impact on the economic and social development of the regions along the line. Based on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, this paper constructs the DID model and analyzes the impact of Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway on the economic development of prefecture-level cities along the route from the empirical perspective. The empirical analysis results show that the Beijing- Shanghai high-speed railway has a significant negative impact on the per capita GDP of prefecture-level cities along the line in the short term, mainly because the agglomeration effect is greater than the diffusion effect. Therefore, small cities should actively think about how to deal with the agglomeration effect caused by the construction of high-speed rail. billion yuan. The line is a project with the most massive 1 Introduction scale and highest technique since the founding of China. The BSHSR, which owns faster speed, fewer stops, and Since the opening of Beijing-Tianjin intercity high-speed more running trains, adds a vital passenger transport railway in 2008, China's high-speed railway (abbreviated channel for the eastern region. BSHSR improves the to “HSR”, for short) has stepped into a rapid expansion transportation capacity of Beijing-Shanghai line, meets stage, and the "four vertical and four horizontal" HSR the ever-growing travel demand of passengers, and network planned and constructed by the state has taken strengthens the connection between the two urban clusters shape. The medium- and long-term railway network of "Beijing Tianjin Hebei" and "Yangtze River Delta." planning (2016-2025) issued in 2016 further elaborated Meanwhile, the open of BSHSR relieves the pressure and the requirements in the new HSR era in order to meet the eases the tension of the passenger transport capacity for exceeding fast increase of passenger transport demand and the existing Beijing-Shanghai railway. It is also conducive expand the regional development space. Eventually form to the transfer of advantage industries from the eastern a “eight vertical and eight horizontal” HSR network based regions to the central and western regions, the radiation of on “four vertical and four horizontal” HSR network, economic advantages in the eastern region to the whole linked by regional connection line and supplemented by country, and the revitalization of the national economy. the intercity railway. Regardless of the technical level, construction scale or operation mileage, China's HSR is far ahead of other countries, leading the new development of the HSR in the world. HSR has become a business card of China image and transportation technology innovation, promoting the flow of people, goods and information among cities along the line, strengthening regional cooperation, and also driving the academic research passion on HSR. Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway (abbreviated to “BSHSR”, for short) is the "second vertical" in the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" network. It starts from Beijing and ends in Shanghai with 24 stations, spanning Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai, three municipalities directly under the central government and four provinces.

Using the 2006-2010 data of the 287 cities in China and the DID estimation method, Wang and Nian (2014) There is no unified view on the effect of the HSR on test what influence can HSR bring to the regional economy. regional economic growth along the line, and it can be The results show that HSR do not act the leading role in positive or negative. Scholars at home and abroad mainly promoting regional economic growth in a short time in the hold two views. One view is that the effect is positive. The context of the Chinese economy slows down recently [6]. HSR can improve accessibility, compress space-time Using the 2001-2012 panel data of prefecture-level city distance, eliminate communication barriers, promote the and two-way fixed effect model, Zhang and Tao (2016) flow of elements, and eventually realize economic growth. confirmed the existence of the agglomeration effect of Ahlfeldt and Feddersen (2010) took the HSR from HSR. Moreover, the opening of HSR reduces the Cologne to Frankfurt as the work subject and researched economic growth rate of prefecture-level cities along the its influence on the economy in terms of economic line by agglomeration effect and squeezing fixed asset geography.

They conclude that in the short 3 Research Methods and Data Sources term, the HSR can promote the economic growth of the Yangtze River Delta Urban Cluster, but it can expand the 3.1 Difference in Difference urban-rural disparity to a certain extent [2]. Jia, Zhou, and Qin (2017) adopt DID and PSM-DID methods to study the One of the challenges to studying the impact of HSR on economic impact of the HSR under the hypothesis of non- regional economic growth is the endogenous problem homogeneous space. The results show that HSR can caused by the reverse causality between the opening of promote economic growth and reshape the structure of HSR and regional economy.

  • Association Between Social Capital and Depression Among Older People: Evidence from Anhui Province, China
    Bai et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:1560 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09657-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Association between social capital and depression among older people: evidence from Anhui Province, China Zhongliang Bai1,2,3, Zhiwei Xu3,4, Xiaoru Xu2, Xia Qin2, Wenbiao Hu3* and Zhi Hu1,2* Abstract Background: To examine the relationship between social capital and depression among community-dwelling older adults in Anhui Province, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among older people selected from three cities of Anhui Province, China using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews and information on demographic characteristics, social capital, and depression was collected. The generalized linear model and classification and regression tree model were employed to assess the association between social capital and depression. Results: Totally, 1810 older people aged ≥60 years were included in the final analysis. Overall, all of the social capital dimensions were positively associated with depression: social participation (coefficient: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.22– 0.48), social support (coefficient:0.18, 95% CI:0.07–0.28), social connection (coefficient: 0.76, 95% CI:0.53–1.00), trust (coefficient:0.62, 95% CI:0.33–0.92), cohesion (coefficient:0.31, 95% CI:0.17–0.44) and reciprocity (coefficient:0.30, 95% CI:0.11–0.48), which suggested that older people with higher social capital had a smaller chance to develop depression. A complex joint effect of certain social capital dimensions on depression was also observed. The association with depression and the combinative effect of social capital varied among older adults across the cities.

Brand new data shows • Only 25 cities had renewable energy targets and/or policies from a global total of over 1,300 cities). This covers 321 million people, 38% of the urban population in China • On a global scale, Chinese cities are lagging behind on setting net-zero3 targets: some notable exceptions exist: 6 cities were developing net-zero targets in 2020, and Dalian set a target to achieve net-zero by 2050. Rizhao has had a target for climate neutrality by 2050 since 2008.
