People, recreational facility and physical activity: New-type urbanization planning for the healthy communities in China
2016, Habitat InternationalCitation Excerpt :Previous research stated clearly that land and finance have negative impacts on CRF provision with increasing urbanization and population increase (Chen & Hu, 2015; Chen, Liu, & Liu, 2016). In recognition of quality of life, decision-makers have begun to address the social dimensions of exercise participation, and local jurisdictions also paid more attention on service provision (Joassart-Marcelli & Musso, 2005; Yinger, 1986). However, in China, CRF is generally public and its policies are principally administrated and approved by the central government, with local governments concentrating on service delivery and planning implementation (Tang, 1996).
Evaluating the efficiency and equity of federal fiscal equalization
2012, Journal of Public EconomicsCitation Excerpt :I expand this literature by incorporating regional differences in productivity and quality of life, as in Rosen (1979) and Roback (1982), and federal taxes, as in Albouy (2009a), making the framework more empirically viable. The framework here resembles that of Albouy et al. (in press) – who use wage and cost-of-living data to estimate productivity and quality-of-life differences across Canadian cities – except that it incorporates local public sectors that vary in productivity, similar to Yinger (1986). Households each supply one unit of labor and belong to one of E types, indexed by e = 1, …, E, where types may characterize skills or tastes.
