According to the capability approach, multidimensional poverty is both a concept and a measure used to depict the poor who are deprived in multiple dimensions. This article provides a longitudinal perspective for monitoring multidimensional poverty in rural China using panel data from 2010 to 2018. The poverty tracking analyses and measurements capture a dramatic reduction in the overall multidimensional poverty in rural China, mainly due to the incidence effect rather than the intensity effect. It should be noted that some households that experience chronic multidimensional poverty and the durations of deprivation in regard to education contribute the most among all 8 indicators. Moreover, the estimation results of multidimensional poverty are robust, and the level of multidimensional poverty in rural China has indeed improved over the past years.

This paper provides a monitoring on the reduction of multidimensional poverty in rural China from 2010 to 2016. The results indicate that significant overall alleviation is observed in the rural China. After decomposing poverty reduction through Shapley method, dimensional and regional breakdown, this paper captures the factors contributing to the overall alleviation of multidimensional poverty in rural China: the decrease of poverty incidence, rather than the reduction of poverty intensity; the improvement in the dimensions of education and living standards; and the obvious alleviation of poverty in Western China.

We examine the impact in Chinese capital markets of publishing information on corporate fraud in a corporate social responsibility (CSR) report. We develop and test two competing hypotheses of “risk reduction” and “window dressing”. Based on the listed company’s CSR report, we analyze the effect of CSR disclosure on the commission of corporate fraud, fraud detection and the severity of corporate fraud. The research results show that after controlling for the firms’ characteristics and corporate governance factors, the CSR report’s information disclosures have a significantly negative relation to corporate fraud. Specifically, the CSR report’s publication reduces the information asymmetry between the insiders and the stakeholders, thus decreasing the tendency to commit fraud. Our findings support the risk reduction hypothesis but not the window dressing hypothesis. Further research shows that firms with a good CSR disclosure practice have a lower probability of committing corporate fraud and have fewer types of fraud violations, thereby mitigating the severity of corporate fraud.
