Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is widely used as an organic pollution indicator in wastewater treatment plants.Large amounts of organic matter are removed during treatment processes to meet environmental standards,and consequently,substantial greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as methane (CH4) are released.However,the COD indicator covers a great amount of refractory organic matter that is not a pollutant and could be a potential carbon sink.Here,we collected and analysed COD data from 86 worldwide municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and applied a model published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to estimate the emission of CH4 due to recalcitrant organic compound processing in China\'s municipal wastewater treatment systems.Our results showed that the average contribution of refractory COD to total COD removal was 55％ in 86 WWTPs.The amount of CH4 released from the treatment of recalcitrant organic matter in 2018 could have been as high as 38.22 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent,which amounts to the annual carbon sequestered by China\'s wetlands.This suggests that the use of COD as an indicator for organic pollution is undue and needs to be revised to reduce the emission of GHG.In fact,leaving nontoxic recalcitrant organic matter in the wastewater may create a significant carbon sink and will save energy during the treatment process,aiming at carbon neutrality in the wastewater treatment industry.

近年来,数字技术与金融业务不断融合,在催生新兴数字金融业态、提高金融服务效率的同时,也深刻影响着中国的金融机构和金融市场体系.金融交易最大的难题在于处理信息不对称,以及由此造成的逆向选择和道德风险问题.数字技术的最大贡献恰恰是帮助降低信息不对称的程度,尤其是那些传统金融机构难以触达、难以服务的中小微企业和低收入人群.中国数字技术与金融创新在解决普惠金融发展中普遍存在的“获客难”“融资难”问题方面,提供了一条可能的路径.这些创新对传统金融机构甚至对世界各国金融业发展具有十分重要的启示意义.中国数字技术与数字
战略叙事是政治行动者实施的意义塑造装置,构成大国竞争的话语武器.在新冠肺炎疫情大流行背景下,恐惧情绪、阴谋论、排他性民族主义与民粹主义话语在社交媒体平台极速传播,“他者”叙事致力于解构对方的领导力合法性基础,推进叙事强制与情感动员.在疫情前半段时期,特朗普政府言辞激烈,敌意叙事让中美信任螺旋下降.后疫情时代,拜登新政府上台为打破叙事惯性提供机会之窗.作为典型的建制派总统,拜登尽管依然会强调对华竞争,但是叙事风格更加理性平衡.针对拜登政府相对克制、保持“战略耐心”与有限多边主义的叙事导向,中国可以采取更多元
本文通过拓展Novy超越对数引力模型,从国别、行业层面测度了2007-2018年中国制造业进口贸易成本弹性及变化趋势,识别制造业进口高度依赖的国家、行业的风险水平,为统筹扩大开放与国家经济安全提出政策建议.研究表明:中国制造业最依赖的进口来源国为韩国、日本、美国、德国;进口贸易成本弹性均为负,其绝对值呈现先上升后下降的趋势,对应于进口依赖和潜在经济安全风险呈现先下降后上升的趋势;在制造业的20类行业中,铁路、船舶、航空航天和其他运输设备制造业,纸和纸制品,木材制品(不包括家具)为经济安全风险高的3类行业,
基于数字经济时代信息搜寻成本的设定,文章拓展了Liu&Serfes (2005)的模型,认为数字经济的发展带来丰富的数据信息,将使企业选择更高的产品质量水平,而搜寻成本降低会进一步强化这一作用.采用2008～2013年工业企业和海关数据的匹配样本,文章证实了数字经济对于企业出口质量的正向促进效应,目的 国搜寻成本对这一效应发挥门限作用与调节作用.异质性分析显示,搜寻成本对数字经济的调节作用只存在于本土企业与一般贸易企业,对外资企业和加工贸易企业则发挥直接的质量提升效应.中介效应检验表明数字经济发展通过进口

过往几十年中间品跨国生产模式逐渐成为主流,推动了劳动力市场工资结构的转变.继欧美发达经济体之后,中国同样出现了工资极化趋势.然而,关于工资极化的成因,经济学界尚存在争议.文章将垂直专业化分工引入工作任务模型,探究发展中国家融入全球价值链的两种情形,并应用多层线性模型和无条件分位数回归及其分解方法检验垂直专业化分工对工资极化的影响.研究发现:垂直专业化分工通过中间品进口和中间品出口两种渠道引致工资两极分化,且后者对于工资极化的推动作用更大;组间异质效应显示,垂直专业化分工在职业和教育层面上均存在显著的极化促
习近平主席在2020年9月提出的碳达峰碳中和“30· 60”目标,将会促进实体经济绿色低碳发展模式的转变,而这个过程离不开绿色金融的大力支持.绿色债券作为其中的重要品种,未来也将迎来快速增长.海外绿色债券市场兴起较早,且发展至今已形成了较为完善的绿债标准和运作体系,其在项目评估、资金用途和管理、信息披露、政策激励等方面的制度安排都值得国内市场借鉴.中国绿色债券市场起步较晚但增长较快,其绿债品种、发行主体、投资者等都呈现出多样化的趋势,但跨境绿色债券的发展相对缓慢.目前,绿色债券带来的良好声誉与政策支持带来
