The impact of digital payments on the financial vulnerability of rural households: empirical evidence from China by Fan Xu, Lezhu Zhang

“…Despite China’s significant achievements in poverty alleviation, many rural households still struggle to maintain a sustainable livelihood may even slip back into poverty due to ineffective risk responses when facing risks and challenges.MethodsThis study employs data from the 2017–2019 China Household Finance Survey to theoretically and empirically examine the impact and mechanisms of digital payments on the financial vulnerability of rural households.ResultsThe study’s results indicate that digital payments significantly reduce the financial vulnerability of rural households, a finding that remains robust even after accounting for endogeneity, employing alternative variable measurement approaches, and conducting propensity score matching tests. Mechanism analysis suggest that encouraging rural households to hold commercial insurance, engage in non-farm employment and expand their family social networks are key pathways by which digital payments impact the financial vulnerability of rural households. …”

The thermoelectric conversion efficiency problem: Insights from the electron gas thermodynamics close to a phase transition by I. Khomchenko, A. Ryzhov, F. Maculewicz, F. Kurth, R. Hühne, A. Golombek, M. Schleberger, C. Goupil, Ph. Lecoeur, A. Böhmer, G. Benenti, G. Schierning, H. Ouerdane

“…The detrimental effects of lattice phonons on performance can be mitigated, but achieving a high thermoelectric power factor remains a major problem because the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity cannot be jointly increased. The conducting electron gas in thermoelectric materials is the actual working fluid that performs the energy conversion, so its properties determine the maximum efficiency that can theoretically be achieved. …”
