Professors’ Papers in Top 10

Dec 10-2021   



Prof. Yao Yang and Prof. Justin Lin Yifu have two papers and one paper respectively among the most influential articles ever published in Social Sciences in China, an academic journal regarded as the best in its category. Prof. Yao Yang is Dean of the NSD and Prof. Justin Lin the Honorary Dean of the NSD and Dean of the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development at PKU.

 

Since its inception in 1980, Social Sciences in China (Chinese version, monthly) and its English quarterly have carried a total of over 7,200 papers which present cutting-edge research results in philosophy and social sciences.

 

Prof. Yao Yang authored two of the Top 10 impactful articles ever published in the journal. His paper China’s Farmland Institutions: A Framework for Analysis was published in 2000 and has been quoted 1,656 times and downloaded 14,191 times on cnki.net, a leading platform for journals and papers, and quoted 756 times on Google Scholar. The paper looks into the current state of China’s farmland institutions, the relationships between farmland institutions and economic performance, as well as the causes of discrepancies in existing farmland institutions, and lays out a range of fundamental factors that need to be considered in future reforms.

 

Another paper by Prof. Yao Yang and Lu Feng, then a doctorate candidate at Kellogg School of Management, was published in 2004 and titled Rule of Law, Financial Development and Economic Development in the Context of Financial Repression. It has been quoted 1,475 times and downloaded 1,0752 times on cnki.net and quoted 482 times on Google Scholar.

 

Of the most quoted papers over the last decade, one by Prof. Justin Lin Yifu and co-author Chen Binkai (Associate Professor with Central University of Finance and Economics) has been quoted 927 times and downloaded 38,386 times on cnki.net and quoted 260 times on Google Scholar since its publication in 2013. Development Strategy, Urbanization, and China’s Rural-Urban Income Gap dissects the causes behind China’s lagging urbanization drive and widening rural-urban income gap and finds that government strategies intended to promote the prioritized development of capital-intensive sectors have led to a decline in job supply in cities and delayed the urbanization process as rural residents are unable to make an effective transfer to cities. Consequently, the rural-urban income gap has widened.
