Congratulations to Wang Lei at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences’ Institute of Labor and Population Economics! Wang Lei has just published what we believe is the first publication using the public release of the CMGPD-LN that doesn’t have one of us as a co-author: http://www.cnki.com.cn/Article/CJFDTotal-RKJJ201302006.htm The paper is a study of bachelorhood in northeast China in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, taking advantage of the excellent data on marital status available in the CMGPD-LN. It appeared in 人口与经济 (Population and Economics), which is one of China’s major social science journals.
We all expect that this will be just the first of many publications by others that make use the CMGPD-LN.
Here is the full citation for anyone who is interested:
