Can Regional Integration Policies Enhance the Win–Win Situation of Economic Growth and Environmental Protection? New Evidence for Achieving Carbon Neutrality Goals

In the pursuit of carbon neutrality goals, local governments usually face the dilemma of whether to focus on economic development or environmental protection. Regional integration is a beneficial policy solution to address the challenges inherent to this dilemma. This research considers the expansion of the Urban Economic Coordination Committee in the Yangtze River Delta as a quasi-natural experiment in regional integration. It employs the difference-in-differences model to assess its potential for fostering a win–win situation in terms of economic growth and environmental protection, with the results showing that regional integration has a significantly positive impact on attaining this win–win situation. Inhibiting pollution transfer and promoting green transformation are crucial mechanisms by which regional integration can help strike a balance between economic growth and environmental protection. However, the effects of both regional integration and win–win mechanisms are heterogeneous across cities. The conclusion suggests that the government should accelerate the implementation of regional integration policies across a wider range, recognize and maximize the important role of intermediate mechanisms, and encourage cities to adopt different strategies according to their heterogeneous characteristics, forming a high-level collaborative development pattern.

Territorial Cooperation and Cross-Border Development: The Portuguese Dynamics

This paper explores the effectiveness of cross-border cooperation programmes between Spain and Portugal, focusing on their impact and outcomes in Portuguese regions. Drawing on a comprehensive analysis of the programmes, the study examines the socio-economic dynamics in border regions, including job creation, population trends, and investment patterns. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data analysis. We argue that the cross-border territorial cooperation between Spain and Portugal has played a significant role in fostering regional development and addressing common challenges. While the concerted efforts have shown positive results in terms of economic growth and employment, they have not been sufficient to reverse the regressive demographic trends. Thus, it is essential to strengthen cooperation mechanisms, invest in human capital, and foster innovation so that the two countries can work together to create sustainable and inclusive development across their shared border regions.

Emerging Trend in Growth & Future Perspective of Industrialisation and Economic Development in North-East India – A Critical Review.

Industrialization is a key factor for economic growth in emerging or undeveloped economies. The North-East region has abundant natural resources such as forests, coal, crude oil supplies, etc. However, the economic growth of the region is lagging behind, making it difficult to generate industrial impacts. One of the best ways to reduce regional disparities and promote better growth in the region is through the use of regional planning. Given the similar geographical location and socio-economic structure of the region, national planning might not be able to work effectively. However, when combined with regional planning, it might prove to be one of the most effective tools for growth in the region. In this report, we will analyse the challenges and opportunities of industrialization in the northeast region. We will also provide some suggestions for advancing the industrial sector of the region through regional planning. Despite having abundant natural resources, North-East India is lagging behind in terms of economic growth. Based on the region’s energy and economic resources, this paper examines the development conundrum faced by North-East India and provides an overview of the policies implemented by India to promote industrial and economic development in the region with a view to unlocking local economic potential, advancing energy development, and developing a more rational industrial structure.

Research on the Impact of Industrial Digitalization on High-Quality Economic Development: Evidence from China

This paper presents a New Keynesian dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with price stickiness, employing macro-quarterly data and Bayesian estimation for parameter estimation. The study dissects the impact of industrial digitalization into three key components: total factor productivity shock, investment marginal efficiency shock, and capital-to-labor substitution shock. The paper then analyzes the mechanism through which industrial digitalization influences the high-quality development of the economy using impulse response analysis and historical variance decomposition. The result shows that: In terms of economic growth, all three types of shocks resulting from industrial digitalization contribute to output expansion, with the investment marginal efficiency shock rapidly boosting output in the short term. However, the technology shock has the most noticeable long-term effect on output growth. In the labor market, the investment marginal efficiency shock positively impacts employment and wages. The effects of the technology shock and capital-to-labor substitution shock on employment and wages first show suppression before enhancement. In the commodity market, the three shocks exert more pronounced effects in the medium and long term, bolstering investment and consumption to varying degrees. In light of these findings, policy recommendations include promoting the development of digital infrastructure, implementing proactive employment policies, offering robust industrial support for the digitalization of traditional enterprises, and fostering a favorable market environment.

A Study of How Technological Innovation Affects China's Economic Development

Technological innovation is a crucial element and driving force behind the advancement of economic development. The two-way fixed effects model is used in this research to investigate how technological innovation influences economic development. The research period spans from 2011 to 2020 and includes 30 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous areas in China. The data used are from Chinas National Bureau of Statistics (NBSC). The empirical analysis led to the following conclusions: Economic development and technological innovation have a significant positive association; the higher the number of patents granted in a citys technological innovation output, the better the regional economic development. Technological innovation significantly and positively affects economic development in both the Eastern and Western areas. However, in terms of economic growth and technical innovation in China, the western area lags behind the eastern region. The government should increase financial investment and policy support in technology innovation and strengthen financial and tax support for new science and technology industries.

416 Urgency to Address Infrastructure in Animal sciences–A Preliminary Report

Abstract The purpose of the ASAS Public Policy Committee (PPC) is to help ASAS shape public policy and public opinion on current issues affecting farms and companion animals. PPC sets goals to make federal agencies aware of the scientific expertise and resources available within ASAS that could be used to develop science-based federal policies affecting poultry and livestock production. Recent reports point to a poor state of agricultural facilities at public colleges of agriculture which puts research priorities related to adaptation to and mitigation of climate change, food safety, zoonotic disease preparedness, animal populations and their care, diet-health, nutrition, biosecurity, new biobased packaging, energy innovations, and advanced market analysis at risk (APLU, 2021). To ascertain input specific to the Animal Sciences (AS), an IRB approved ‘Survey About Infrastructure in Animal Sciences’ (#22-495) was offered by the PPC to department heads and faculty of Animal Science programs across the country. The survey instrument was constructed to allow open-ended responses as well as 5-point Likert scale questions regarding participants views about infrastructure (IF) and thereby learn what members closest to the animal sciences community perceive to be the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement in our research infrastructure. Analysis of coded responses in the open-ended questions among varied disciplinary arenas within AS revealed ‘facilities’ as the largest Grand Challenge. About 98% of respondents affirmed sustainable food and animal production is a critical national asset in terms of economic growth and development and 98% indicated an overlooked maintenance of IF in AS undermines national food security. Additionally, 68% indicated the state of core labs, at least for AS programs are only average or below. All respondents (100%) agreed that without comprehensive investment in infrastructure within AS, the USA will continue to fall behind in competing with other countries in areas of research. Study results provided insight into potential consequences of deferred maintenance which should elevate awareness of urgency to address the deficiencies. Since IF needs included future workforce development and working environments, an eroded IF and consequences of deferred maintenance threatens the capacity of AS to pursue Grand Challenges in research and ability to create future workforce readiness of graduates from AS programs.

Carbon Emissions in the U.S.: Factor Decomposition and Cross-State Inequality Dynamics

This paper examines the determinants of inequality in the distribution of CO2 emissions across U.S. regions. We implement a factorial decomposition of CO2 per capita based on extended Kaya factors, that is, carbon intensity of fossil fuel consumption, energy mix, energy intensity of GDP, economic growth in terms of labor productivity and employment rate. Results reveal that U.S. states display marked differences in most factors. We identify energy intensity as the main source of emissions inequality. Based on the within and between group inequality components we also explore the effect of geographical, geological, climatic and human development partitions of U.S. states’ groups. Findings indicate that the within-group inequality had been the main contributor to the whole inequality. Finally, some economic policy implications are also discussed; explaining the unequal distribution of emissions is vital to establish differentiated targets and work towards successful mitigation proposals.

The Effect of Distance Education on Lifelong Learning

Today's technological developments are effective in all areas of social life. One of the fields where technological developments are involved is education. With the inclusion of information and communication technologies in education and training processes, one of the concepts discussed is distance education. Since the learning process with distance education is independent of time and space, it has given birth to the concept of lifelong learning. Lifelong learning is expressed as the realization of learning wherever the individual is without any restrictions. The most important point that lifelong learning affects is equality of opportunity in education. Because lifelong learning puts the individual in the center. Therefore, by changing the role of the school, it gives importance to out-of-school learning. Thus, it supports the personal development of the learner. However, it provides benefits to society in terms of economic growth. It also emphasizes that education should not be subject to a certain time interval. Considering the advantages it provides, this skill should be included in the education system. Based on the reasons stated, in this study, the effect of distance education students on the lifelong learning tendency was examined. Quantitative research method was preferred in the study. Quasi-experimental research, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. Convenience sampling method was used in the research. A total of 251 participants were reached for this study with the convenient sampling method. The "Lifelong Learning Tendency" scale, which was developed in 2015, was used as a data collection tool in the research. In the analysis of the data, the independent t-test (unpaired t-test) was used to determine the differences in the pre-test and post-test scores between the groups. In line with the findings obtained as a result of the research, it was determined that the group who received education with distance education had a higher tendency to lifelong learning than the group who did not receive education with distance education. Suggestions were made in line with the results obtained.

The Comparison Of Leading Sector Analysis Of Medan City And Nias Regency (Case Study 2017-2021)

The specific skills discussed in the research are the leading sectors in the economic system. Medan City and Nias Regency are two areas within the jurisdiction of North Sumatra Province. The two regions have differences in geographical location, making them both have differences in the economy's structure. In terms of economic growth, the two regions showed differences where Medan City is superior in percentage growth. A significant difference between the two regions is the significant difference in the status of the Regional Fiscal Capacity Index. This study aims to identify the leading sectors owned by Medan City and Nias Regency in the 2017-2021 observation period. The method used is descriptive quantitative by using analytical tools in the form of LQ and DLQ analysis, Klasen Typology, Shift-Share Analysis, and Overlay Analysis. The results showed that Medan City does not have a leading sector at all and Nias Regency has one leading sector in the form of the mining and quarrying sector. This study provides recommendations for the Medan City Government and Nias Regency Government to re-evaluate economic policies, especially related to sectors experiencing a slowdown, progressive sectors, and leading sectors in their respective regions.

Democracy, green energy, trade, and environmental progress in South Asia: Advanced quantile regression perspective

Unquestionably, the industrial revolution of the twenty-first century contributes to global warming. Excessive amounts of carbon emissions into the atmosphere are responsible for global warming. Therefore, this research aims to assess the impact of GDP, green energy consumption, population, trade openness, and democracy on CO2 emissions in four selected South Asian countries from 1990 to 2019. This research also attempts to evaluate the EKC hypothesis in terms of economic growth (GDP2). The unit root of panel data and cointegration tests are executed in this study as a prelude to the regression analysis. Quantile regression for panel data, which (Powell, 2016) devised to deal with the fixed effect problem, is used in this study, and (Powell, 2016) empirical findings are the main focus. The estimated coefficient of GDP is positively significant, demonstrating that economic activity increases the burning of fossil fuels and upsurges atmospheric CO2 emissions. After attaining economic development, the reversed U-shaped EKC theory is valid for four selected South Asian countries. Economic development encourages these countries to use green technology, which helps mitigate CO2 emissions. The research, however, reveals that green energy is to blame for CO2 emissions. Burning biomass releases carbon dioxide that negatively impacts the quality of the environment. The study confirms that human activities are the leading contributor to environmental deterioration. Population growth has a worsening effect on the environment. The association between population and CO2 emissions is positively significant. The estimated coefficient of trade openness is positive, which increases CO2 emissions significantly. The estimated coefficient of democracy is quite negative. Therefore, this study suggests prioritizing democracy to reduce CO2 emissions. Citizens who live in democracies are better informed, more organized, and able to protest, all of which contribute to increased government responsiveness to environmental preservation. The results of the Wald test support the differential effects at various quantiles. The Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panel causality tests are also used in this analysis to check causality between variables. Based on the findings, this research makes many policy suggestions for lowering carbon emissions.

The Role of Leading Sectors in Supporting the Economic Growth of East Java Province Before and During the Covid-19 Pandemic

East Java is one of the driving forces of Indonesia's economy as it is the second-largest contributor to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB) after DKI Jakarta. However, in 2020, the economy of East Java experienced a contraction with a growth rate reaching -2.33 percent. This was primarily due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to negative growth in several sectors. In order to achieve the objectives and targets of regional development, especially in terms of economic growth in East Java Province, regional development can be structured according to inter-sectoral goals. Through descriptive analysis, the Location Quotient (LQ) approach, the Shift Share approach, and overlay using the Real Gross Domestic Product (PDRB Rill) based on constant prices in 2010, four leading sectors were identified. These sectors are the manufacturing industry, wholesale and retail trade, motor vehicle and motorcycle repair, accommodation, and food services, as well as information and communication. These four leading sectors play a crucial role in supporting economic growth in East Java due to their rapid growth rate, high contribution, and broad market share, both before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Hence, the government needs to prioritize these leading sectors to support economic growth in East Java Province.

Russia as a country of BRICS: Issue of identification

The approach of development economics has been rarely used in the studies on the BRICS research agenda. This article is an attempt to fill this gap. According to development economics, the appearance of the BRICS association is fully justifiable, because large emerging economies have much in common. Russia is the most advanced country among the BRICS, even though some years ago it fell into the group of laggards in terms of economic growth, together with Brazil and South Africa. It may be partly explained by those countries’ adherence to neoclassical recipes of economic policy. It is believed, however, that national economic interests of all the five countries could be more effectively served by a combination of further pro-market reforms with public interventions to correct the inevitable market failures. That is why, for the Russian comparative advantages to be fully realized, the country should rely not so much on trade liberalization as on coordination among the BRICS governments in their actions aimed at trade and investment promotion.

Electrodeposition of Thin Films for Jewels and Fashion Accessories

The interest in scientific research within the metal finishing sector is growing. The demand for durable metals and adaptable manufacturing processes is increasing across a wide range of applications, from aerospace and automotive to machinery and jewelry. An essential step in the production line is the surface engineering of metals, as this determines the final appearance and functionality of a product. Therein electroplating is recognized as a mature technology allowing the low-cost fabrication of defined surfaces with extensive property profiles. Galvanic electrodeposition accounts today for almost 40% of the global market value share with North America and Western Europe leading the scenery. Although technological and processing advancements occurred in the past forty years, industrial firms are still struggling to provide solutions to corrosion protection as well as the reduction of toxic wastes. Specifically, large-scale industrialization of electroplating techniques will continue to be limited by strict environmental regulations. Due to adverse ecological impacts, the adoption of plating processes involving toxic metals such as lead or cadmium is prohibited. Moreover, price volatility of the highly demanding electroplated materials gold, copper, and nickel is expected to impact the market share by more than 60% by 2026.In that respect, alloy plating offers better answers in terms of economic growth and environmental sustainability due to fine-tuning composition, morphology, and crystallinity [1]. Here, current trends in alloy electrodeposition research are reviewed highlighting open challenges and process innovations from an industrial perspective. The main categories of alloy compounds are presented and the most important properties of the manufacturing process are discussed. Particular attention is devoted to advances in industrial quality control and viable solutions for the reduction of precious metal content in electroplated accessories as well as the replacement of cyanide and nickel baths with non-toxic compounds.The authors acknowledge Regione Toscana POR CreO FESR 2014-2020 – azione 1.1.5 sub-azione A1 – Bando 1 “Progetti Strategici di ricerca e sviluppo” which made possible the project: “RAM-PVD” (CUP 3647.04032020.157000057_1225).
