This project lies at the frontier between environmental economics and industrial organization. We use a duopoly setting of a three-stage game; in the first stage, the government chooses an emission tax and aims for maximizing welfare; in the second stage, firms use R&D to reduce their emissions; in the last stage, firms compete a la Cournot with differentiated products. We focus on two policy regimes and three scenarios, namely regimes of competition and merger andscenarios of commitment, non-commitment, and exogenous tax. The study focuses on two major questions: (1) what is the effect of merger on R&D, and the effect of commitment on R&D? (2) what is the effect of merger and commitment on the economy? Results are obtained through numerical simulations of the model. We find that: (i) Merger has a positive effect on R&D under non-commitment and the exogenous tax scenarios. (ii) Under commitment, if goods are imperfect substitutes or homogenous, merger has a negative effect on R&D; if goods are complements or independent, merger has a positive effect on R&D. (iii) For any types of goods under any regime, commitment has a negative effect on R&D.

1) La "rivoluzione culturale" era un movimento politico, è stato avviato da Mao Zedong, il leader supremo del partito comunista cinese. La "rivoluzione culturale" ha coinvolto tutti i cinesi e ha lasciato un impronta profonda nella storia della Cina; 2) Il motivo della "rivoluzione culturale" di Mao era quel di combattere i burocrati e i cosiddetti "capitalisti" e "revisionisti", e di pulire l'ambiente politico. Attraverso questa "rivoluzione", Mao Zedong voleva realizzare l'ideale del comunismo in Cina; 3) La "guerra popolare" era un'arma potente di Mao, con cui è riuscito ad eliminare i suoi nemici politici. Mao credeva alla forza dei contadini poveri e ha sviluppato il pensiero di massa. Secondo il suo pensiero, il partito comunista cinese ha riorganizzato le zone rurali per favorire a mobilitare tutti i contadini a partecipare al movimento politico e alla "guerra popolare"; 4) L'influenza della "rivoluzione culturale" esiste ancora in Cina di oggi. Ci sono ancora tanti sostenitori del pensiero di Mao Zedong. Il governo attuale non voleva criticare completamente la "rivoluzione culturale", e insiste ancora l'idea della "guerra popolare". La strada della democratizzazione della Cina è molto faticosa.

This article explores how particular understandings of Blackness among African immigrant students and parents shape their experiences of exclusion and belonging within the American educational landscape. Based on ethnographic interviews drawn from a larger mixed-methods study of African immigrant students and parents in a mid-Atlantic community, the article discusses the meanings these immigrants give to race, and the ways in which being an African Black was associated with experiences of exclusion in US society. Interviews also revealed a significant resistance to identification as African American 'Black', as African American Blackness was associated with styles of self-presentation and behaviour that do not conform to immigrant ideologies surrounding a good education. Lastly, African immigrants express a powerful belief in American opportunity that fuels aspirations for economic success. This analysis suggests avenues for exploring how Blackness, immigrant status and transnational identifications matter for theorizing intersections of race and belonging in diasporic populations.

<p>With China's economic take off since the 1990s, environmental degradation, such as climate change, energy crises, and conflicts from environmental devastation become more and more serious. As such, environmental education (EE), which has been implemented since 1973, shoulders a pivotal role in maintaining the balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability. This paper reviews EE's development in China and, examines the characteristics and conceptual difficulties of EE, including the unscientific understanding on EE, low-level of motivation to incorporate EE in teachings, the lack of environmental awareness, and contradiction between economic growth and environmental protection and sustainable development. Recommendations to EE include: (1) the fundamental framework of EE should gear toward providing adequate awareness, knowledge, attitude, skills, evaluation ability, and participation for EE and education for sustainable development (ESD) in China; (2) policies of EE need to be enacted and implemented, so as to reflect the diverse needs based on developing economic growth and cultural situations across the country; (3) it is imperative to accelerate the legislation process of environmental education law; and (4) government, regions, and environmental non-government organizations (NGOs) should foster and strengthen its bilateral or multilateral international exchanges and cooperation.</p>

AbstractThis study examines the impact of executives' overseas background on corporate green innovation and the possible adverse selection problem in attracting overseas‐returned executives to high‐polluted cities. Based on the data from Chinese listed companies between 2002 and 2018, we empirically find that executives' overseas background has a significantly positive impact on corporate green innovation. In addition, it is found that air pollution results in the loss of overseas‐returned executives, while the effect of executives' overseas background in stimulating corporate green innovation is more prominent in high‐polluted cities, indicating that high‐polluted cities should make more efforts to attract returnees. Therefore, we further explore the policy influence of executives' excess compensation and find that excess compensation in high‐polluted cities weakens the positive impact of executives' overseas background, although it increases the effectiveness of importing overseas‐returned executives, which means that the adverse selection caused by excess compensation in high‐polluted cities is non‐negligible.
