Water resources transfers through Chinese interprovincial and foreign food trade.
China's water resources are under increasing pressure from socioeconomic development, diet shifts, and climate change. Agriculture still concentrates most of the national water withdrawal. Moreover, a spatial mismatch in water and arable land availability--with abundant agricultural land and little water resources in the north--increases water scarcity and results in virtual water transfers fro...
متن کاملWhy Is Interprovincial Trade Down and International Trade Up?
One of the most striking economic trends over the past two decades has been the widening gap between interprovincial and international trade (Chart 1). Between 1981 and 1989, interprovincial exports in nominal terms failed to keep pace with GDP, dropping steadily from 27 per cent of GDP to 22.2 per cent. At the same time, international exports declined, but more gradually, slipping from 28.2 pe...
متن کاملGrowth, trade, and international transfers
This paper analyzes the simplest neoclassical economy in which agents have finite lives and there is sustained per capita growth. The growth rate of the world economy depends upon countries' savings propensities and common technology. Trade can reverse an economy's autarkic growth trajectory, and a country with a high savings rate runs a current account surplus. If a surplus country expands agg...
متن کاملForeign Affairs and Trade
It is known that a theory in S5-epistemic logic with several agents may have numerous models. This is because each such model specifies also what an agent knows about infinite intersections of events, while the expressive power of the logic is limited to finite conjunctions of formulas. We show that this asymmetry between syntax and semantics persists also when infinite conjunctions (up to some...
متن کاملVirtual water trade: an assessment of water use efficiency in the international food trade
Amid an increasing water scarcity in many parts of the world, virtual water trade as both a policy instrument and practical means to balance the local, national and global water budget has received much attention in recent years. Building upon the knowledge of virtual water accounting in the literature, this study assesses the efficiency of water use embodied in the international food trade fro...
