    Strengthening Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance in Chongqing, People’s Republic of China

    Asian Development Bank | July 2002
    Abstract
    This Action Plan focuses on strengthening vehicle inspection and maintenance in Chongqing, People’s Republic of China. Chongqing is located in the south west of PRC and is the fourth municipality directly administered by the Central Government. The urban area lies between two large mountains, Tongke Shan and Zhongliang Shan. The relative humidity is about 80% and the annual average wind speed is 1.1-1.7m/s; the geography and climate hinder pollutant diffusion. The urban area is divided into three parts by two rivers, with the west higher than the east. Traffic congestion is caused by the many bends and slopes along the city’s narrow roads, which often reach only seven to ten meters wide. The vehicle fleet has recently increased by 10-15%, and as these vehicles are poorly maintained, their contribution to air pollution is serious.

It establishes four dimensions of empowerment that may be used to measure empowerment and presents some evidence of how government has performed under each of these dimensions. It concludes that government has been on track in following AFMA’s prescriptions for SFF ...

      The Rise of the “Redback” and the People’s Republic of China’s Capital Account Liberalization: An Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Invoicing Currencies 

      Ito, Hiro; Chinn, Menzie (Asian Development Bank Institute, 2014-04-07)
      We investigate the determinants of currency choice for trade invoicing in a cross-country context while focusing on the link between capital account liberalization and its impact on the use of the renminbi (RMB). We find that while countries with more developed financial markets tend to invoice less in the US dollar, countries with more open capital accounts tend to invoice in either the euro or ...
