Summary: Households in the Philippines are characterized by durable unions and a relatively high status of women who are entrusted with the management of household finances. However, due to a strong demand for agency, couples in the rural Philippines incur efficiency losses in enhancing household efficiency.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of China's 2014 Hukou reform on local urban residents' perceptions of unfairness. The findings suggest that the reform increased locals' perceptions of unfair treatment due to wealth inequality and Hukou status, and reduced their tolerance for wealth gaps and materialistic wealth recognition.

Summary: The study of human behavior is crucial for the development of policies for sustainability. It is important to consider the possibility of spillover effects in mathematical models, as exposure to related choices can influence subsequent behavior. Our study demonstrates the existence of these spillover effects and showcases the effectiveness of discrete choice models.

Summary: This study uses a coordination game experiment to test the differences in reasoning abilities between Chinese tax administrators and university students. The results show that the gameplay in the coordination game is almost identical between the two groups. However, students are more likely to choose the focal point as the equilibrium when it offers equal payoffs, which may be because payoff equality promotes team reasoning more effectively among students.

Summary: This study examines the economic impacts of relatively small but frequent earthquakes in China in both the short-term and long-term. The findings suggest that moderate and strong earthquakes significantly decrease GDP per capita in the affected areas in the long run. The effects vary depending on fiscal autonomy, social capital intensity, and infrastructure development. Additionally, the study identifies three mechanisms contributing to the long-term negative effects.

Summary: This study examines the economic growth of Singapore from 1970 to 2020 and the contribution of age and education to the demographic dividend. The findings show that the education effect was greater than the age effect throughout the period, particularly in terms of labor income. Understanding these effects is crucial for future policy-making in Singapore as it continues to face rapid aging.

Summary: This study examines a simple model of consumption of animals with altruistic behavior towards animals. The model reveals a public good issue, where the market equilibrium leads to low quality and excessive quantity of animal lives when they are not worth living. The implications of the findings and the significance of the modeling choices for future economic research on animal welfare are discussed.

Summary: This paper explores how spirituality enables self-empowerment in the Adivasi movement called 'the Programme'. Through qualitative data analysis, the study finds that spirituality supports self-empowerment by providing motivation, strengthening tribal identity, and offering protection and engagement with powerful actors. These findings contribute to understanding the role of spirituality in social movements and highlight the significance of protecting religious freedom in development practice.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of farmers' participation in different short food supply chains (SFSCs) on synthetic pesticide use and crop yields. The findings show that farmers who sell part of their crops through direct-to-consumer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides compared to those who sell through long food supply chains. However, there is no evidence that farmers involved in direct-to-retailer channels use significantly fewer synthetic pesticides. Additionally, there is no indication that SFSC participation affects crop yields.

Summary: We define notions of cautiousness and cautious belief to provide epistemic conditions for iterated admissibility in finite games. The behavioral implications of these epistemic assumptions are characterized by the solution concept of self-admissible set. We also show analogous results under alternative epistemic assumptions.

Summary: This study evaluates the impact of the Old Revolutionary Development Program (ORDP) on the consumer welfare of rural residents in China. The results indicate that the implementation of the ORDP plays a significant role in improving the consumer welfare of rural residents, especially by increasing local fiscal expenditure and narrowing the income gap between urban and rural areas.

Summary: Performance evaluation is crucial for managing and allocating resources in higher education institutions (HEIs) and guiding their development. However, the issue of academic misconduct (AM) as an undesirable output in research assessments is often overlooked. This study proposes incorporating AM into the evaluation system and finds that it plays an increasingly prominent role in research efficiency evaluation of HEIs.

Summary: In this paper, we explore public randomization in group contests and introduce group public randomization equilibria (GPRE). We find that although there are multiple equilibria, refining the selection process to GPRE immune to coalitional deviations results in a unique equilibrium group-effort distribution, which has the highest expected total effort among all equilibria for identical groups composed of identical agents.
