What drives a country’s fish consumption? Market growth phase and the causal relations among fish consumption, production and income growth

We investigate the main drivers of fish consumption growth in 96 countries over the past 50 years. We categorize the world market for fish consumption into four growth phases: Introduction, Growth, Maturity and Decline. Each country’s fish consumption is estimated using the growth curve model, clustered by dynamic time warping (DTW) together with those countries sharing similar characteristics. Analyzing the relations among the annual growth rates of fish consumption, production and real GDP using a panel vector autoregressive model (PVAR), we find that the main drivers of fish consumption growth vary across the growth phases. In the introduction phase, fish consumption growth is mainly driven by the growth of RGDP. In the growth phase, RGDP and fish production growth become the main drivers, while in the maturity phase, these drivers do not play a significant role despite their positive coefficients. However, in the decline phase, fish production growth generates a significantly negative impact on fish consumption growth. Identifying fish consumption market growth phase for policymakers would be the first step toward devising the right policy tools before prioritizing fish consumption management strategies.

Analysis of Government Expenditure and Economic Growth in Nigeria

This study examines the impact of government expenditure on economic growth in Nigeria using time series data spanning from 1980-2020. Variables used includes real gdp, government final consumption expenditure and population growth rate. Augmented Dickey Fuller and Philips-Perron unit root test for stationary of the variable, Johansen Co integration, Vector Error Correction and Granger Causality tests were estimated. Johansen co integration test result indicates the existence of long run relationship while the error corrections model reveals the absence of shot run relation among the variable. Unidirectional causality runs from population growth to economic growth and public expenditure to population growth. Base on the findings, it is recommended that Nigerian government should enhance expenditure on social welfare to improve standard of living of it citizenry

Savings Rates and Consumption Convergence in Regions: Spatial Analysis

The savings rate reflects the preferences between current and future consumption. Sustainable development implies ensuring the same volume of consumption of the current and future generations. The purpose of the study is to measure the β-convergence of average consumption growth rates in the long term, taking into account spatial relationships on the Russia’s regions panel data from 2014 to 2019. We used Moran and Geary spatial correlation indices, econometric model with spatial lag, maximum likelihood method. The convergence of consumption in the regions and greater growth in weak regions, the positive impact of per capita cash income on the average growth rate of consumer spending in the regions is shown. We show the negative impact of the savings rate on the consumption average growth rate per capita and lack of influence of digitization variables. We also find spatial cooperation of consumption in the regions. The scientific novelty lies in measuring the spatial correlation and convergence of consumer spending in Russian regions. The main conclusions of the article can be used in scientific and practical activities in the implementation of the concept of sustainable development of regions based on an institutional approach, taking into account spatial differentiation.

Analysis of Growth Trends of Production and Consumption of Fertilizer Nutrients in India

The present study was carried out to determine the trend in production and consumption in India from 1990-91 to 2019-20. The study had been divided into three phases viz. I period (1990-91 to 1999-2000), II period (2000-01 to 2009-10) and III (2010-11 to 2019-20). The compound growth rates (CGRs) of production and consumption were estimated as for three phases as well as for the overall period. The consumption of fertilizer is continuously increased year by year. Only nitrogen fertilizer shows positive growth i.e., 0.35 per cent. The annual growth rate of consumption of Nitrogen, phosphatic and potassic fertilizer is 3.04, 3.77 and 4.09 per cent respectively between 1990-91 to 2018-19. The highest growth of consumption has been registered in potassic fertilizer. However, after 2010-11 there is a negative trend and considerable decline in fertilizer use. The growth rate falls to -0.21 per cent, with phosphatic fertilizer decline at -1.29 per cent and potassic fertilizer at -0.31 per cent.

The Effect of Vat (Vat) and Payroll Tax(Pph21) on the Growth of Community Consumption, Gross Domestic Product, and Economic Growth in Indonesia

Taxes play an important role in the existence of the state, especially in implementing improvements, considering that income from the expenditure sector can fund the development of national consumption. This study aims to determine the effect of VAT (VAT) and PPH (payroll tax) on the growth rate of public consumption, gross domestic product and the rate of economic growth in Indonesia as a moderating variable in country data in the statistical center and databox starting from 2002 - 2021. This sample uses country data for 20 years, This study uses multiple linear regression assisted by SPSS version 24 program. The results of this study shows that PPN and PPH affect the level of public consumption, while PPN and PPH have no effect on Gross Domestic Product and also Indonesia's Economic Growth Rate. That is, it can be concluded that VAT has no effect on the level of economic development in Indonesia which is registered in the Central Statistics Agency and the database for the period 2002 – 2021. Thus, the hypothesis is rejected.

The Food Gap and Food Security of Poultry Meat in Saudi Arabia

This research aimed to explore the current situation of the food gap and the food security of poultry meat in the Kingdom, based on secondary published data by the food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture, the General Authority for statistics, the Arab Organization for Agricultural Development (AOAD), and the international information Network. The results indicated a decline in self-sufficiency at a statistically significant annual rate of about 1.5%, representing about 2.9% of the annual average self-sufficiency rate during the study period. This is consistent with the economic logic in terms of increasing the volume of imports at a rate that exceeds 6.3% annually and exceeds the rate of consumption growth (4.43%) over the rate of growth of domestic production (1.73%). The apparent gap increased at an annual statistically significant rate of about 38.5 thousand tons, representing about 7.1% of the annual average gap estimated at around 543.8 thousand tons. It was also found that the most influential factors on the self-sufficiency ratio of poultry meat were the number of imports and the domestic production. Therefore, the strategic stock of poultry meat was estimated at around 621.4 thousand tons, which is sufficient for local consumption for about 7 months, while the value of the food security factor was about 0.58, reflecting the existence of relative food security of poultry meat in the Kingdom. The results of the study also showed the size of the additional loans and investments needed to achieve self-sufficiency and food security for poultry meat in the Kingdom in line with the National Transformation Program and the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

Digestibilidad proteica de semillas de Pajuro (Erythrina edulis Triana) sometidas a cocción tradicional

The protein digestibility of pajuro seeds (Erythrina edulis Triana) was determined after the conventional cooking process. The processed seeds were dried, ground and incorporated into isoproteic and isocaloric diets for evaluation with Holtzman rats. The results were expressed in terms of means and standard deviations. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed with Tukey's multiple comparison test to determine significant differences (p <0.05) in the proximal composition values ​​and a correlation analysis between protein consumption / gains weight and feed intake / weight gain. A protein value of 20.58 was obtained in the cooked straw seeds, and values ​​of 25.89, 2.97 and 45.56 for feed consumption, weight gain and specific growth rate respectively. Regarding the protein quality indicators, a positive nitrogen balance was obtained with a value of 0.19, biological value of 65.52%, apparent digestibility of 67.44% and true digestibility of 76.74%; likewise, taking into account the presence of sulfur amino acids as limiting factors, a value of 0.36 was determined for the theoretical count of amino acids, a theoretical count of amino acids corrected for digestibility of 28 and a theoretical count of digestible essential amino acids of 26. These results place traditional cooking as an alternative to facilitate the consumption of pajuro seeds produced in the tropical Andes, thus improving its use and satisfaction of consumer needs; however, supplementation with other food sources or incorporation of synthetic amino acids is necessary to replace the presence of limiting amino acids.

Adverse health shocks, social insurance and household consumption: evidence from Indonesia's Askeskin program.

This study examines the efficacy of Askeskin, a subsidized social health insurance targeted towards poor households and informal sector workers in Indonesia, in mitigating the impact of adverse health shocks on household consumption. To overcome selection bias from non-experimental nature of Askeskin enrolment, I use a robust estimation strategy, where outcome regressions are run on a propensity score-based matching sample. Using longitudinal data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey, this study finds that uninsured households facing extreme health health shocks experience a 1.3% point loss in growth in food and 2% point loss in non-food consumption growth. Importantly, households having Askeskin insurance, are fully insured in terms of food and medical consumption. But non-food spending, a discretionary component, is not insured fully resulting in a 1.2% point fall in consumption growth rate, despite Askeskin. This result is robust to a battery of sensitivity and robustness checks, including alternate definition of health shocks. Further, I investigate whether the Askeskin program simply displaced informal, community-based mechanisms of risk sharing. No crowd out effect is observed and informal risk-sharing coexists with Askeskin.

Scenario analysis of hydrofluorocarbons emission reduction in China's mobile air-conditioning sector

With the Kigali Amendment (KA) coming into effect in China, the control of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) emissions has become more imperative. The mobile air-conditioning (MAC) sector is one of the important HFCs consumer sectors, and therefore studying its feasible mitigation paths and costs is of great significance to China's successful implementation of KA. This study used the bottom-up method with updated emission factors to re-evaluate the emission inventory of HFCs from the MAC sector in China from 2005 to 2020. The average annual growth rate of HFCs consumption in the MAC sector is 9.8%, and HFCs emissions have increased from 5.8 (5.3–6.2) kt in 2005 to 22.2 (20.6–23.8) kt in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 8.8%. Using the Gompertz model combined with the Weibull function of vehicle survival rate, the ownership and new registrations of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) in China are predicted. The ownership of ICEVs and EVs is projected to be 310 million and 91 million in 2030, respectively and 2 million and 641 million in 2060, respectively. HFCs emissions in the MAC sector would reach 59.8 (55.3–64.3) kt (80.0–93.0 Mt CO2-eq) in 2060 if without any control measure. To implement the KA, the cumulative of 1.6 Gt CO2-eq emissions would be reduced. Under the other two accelerated mitigation scenarios, the MAC sector's HFCs will reach their emissions peak in 2028 and 2025 and achieve zero emissions in 2050 and 2046, respectively. Under the accelerated mitigation with recovery scenario, the cumulative emissions are only 15.0% of the business as usual (BAU) scenario. Using HFO-1234yf as the substitute, the unit abatement cost of the MAC sector is 27.3–37.4 USD t−1 CO2-eq.

On the Issue of Free Movement of Financial Services and Capital in the Eurasian Economic Union

The article examines the macroeconomic indicators of the EAEU countries, used in quantitative methods for assessing financial integration, as well as a number of documents that form the common financial market (CFM) of the EAEU.Aim. To identify the content of the concept of the EAEU CFM, having determined the elements of control of the movement of financial services and capital, to assess the possibilities of its formation, taking into account the achieved integration.Task. To confirm the hypothesis that the insufficiently high existing level of financial integration in the EAEU is the reason why the mechanisms of the EAEU CFM cannot be sufficiently developed.Methods. Correlation analysis, analysis and comparison of texts.Results. Capital mobility is high in Russia and Kyrgyzstan. Converging consumption growth rates is a sign of equalizing financial risks. The countries differ in their exchange rate regimes, two of them maintain a double exchange rate, three have requirements for the repatriation of foreign exchange earnings. Capital flow measures are multidirectional. The CFM assumes the approximation of legislation in the field of financial services. Countries only commit to cross-border supply and consumption abroad for four subsectors, commercial presence is governed by national legislation, and the presence of natural persons is subject to migration regulations. The obligations to liberalize the services market taken to the WTO are not uniform, and the list of exemptions from obligations under the EAEU Treaty is more restrictive than obligations to the WTO. Most of the foreign exchange regulation measures are implemented in accordance with national laws. Investors from member states do not receive national treatment upon establishment.Conclusion. The hypothesis is confirmed. The significance of the work for the theories of financial integration lies in the identification of the forms in which the CFM EAEU exists. The recommendations are intended for use in the work of the Eurasian Economic Commission.

Sustainability in a global circular economy: Insights on consumer price sensitivity

AbstractCircular economy (CE) is seen as a way of achieving global sustainability. This study demonstrates how consumer decisions, particularly in relation to price sensitivity, have a significant influence on CE adoption and therefore on global sustainability. An integrated planetary model representing the world through 15 ecological–industrial compartments is considered. The functioning of the model is governed by food web dynamics and a macro‐economic model. A circulation industry compartment recycles used products going to waste. The consumer price sensitivity for the circulated goods is captured by considering the consumers' cumulative CE participation (CCEP). Different CCEP patterns are studied for a variety of consumption increase rates. The results show that greater preference for circulated goods avoided system collapse, and corresponding CCEP patterns identify the sustainable zone (TSZ). A parametric study of combinations of CCEP patterns and consumption growth rates showed that with the higher consumption growth rate (four to six times linear increase of consumption over simulation horizon), the TSZ shrinks (50%). Moreover, at higher consumption growth rates, more economic incentives are required to obtain a similar ecosystem response. Finally, at a very high level of CE adoption, the overall population becomes less wealthy. Thus, preventing the consumption growth rather than promoting the CE through subsidies is more desirable from economic and ecological perspectives.

THE FISCAL IMBALANCE AND CLIMATE CHANGE OBLIGATIONS: WHAT IS FEASIBLE FOR DEVELOPING ECONOMIES?

The developing world is facing multidirectional challenges of socioeconomics in the era of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs-2030). Fiscal indicators like fiscal imbalance and debt financing are the key hurdles in financing sustainable environment projects. This study attempted to probe the impact of the fiscal indicators on the environmental conditions of the South Asian region. For a comprehensive analysis, the study utilized a dataset of all eight countries of South Asia for 19 years. Per capita greenhouse gas emission has been used as a dependent indicator, while fiscal imbalance anddebt to gross domestic product (GDP) have been taken as independent indicators along with energy consumption, energy intensity and GDP growth rate. The generalized least squares and quantile autoregressive distributive lag methods have been adopted from econometric for this empirical analysis. Both ways confirm that fiscal imbalance and debt financing play a significant role in greenhouse gas emissions accumulation in the entire region of South Asia. Energy consumption and the cost of producing energy (energy intensity) are the other sources of greenhouse gas emissions accumulation in the area. This study suggested that developing economies of South Asia may not be able to fulfill their commitments regarding SDGs-2030 if their issues of fiscal imbalance and debt financing have not been treated initially.

Does Government Fiscal Policy in Ghana Asymmetrically Affect Growth?

Using ARDL and NARDL approaches, this study examines whether government fiscal policy symmetrically or asymmetrically impact economic growth in Ghana from the period 1988 to 2018. The study outcome reveals that fiscal policy variables used exhibited long-run cointegration with economic growth for both ARDL and NARDL models. Government tax revenue, expenditure and labour showed a strong positive and significant impact on economic growth whilst capital had a significant but inverse effect on economic growth in the long-run for ARDL. NARDL model shows that positive shocks of government tax revenue exerted much impact on growth rate compared to its negative shocks in both long and short run. Estimations form the long-run suggested that positive shocks of government expenditure increase growth rate whereas the negative shocks decrease growth. The Granger test, from the NARDL model, showed a Uni-directional causation moving from LNEXP_NEG→LNGDP, LNTR_NEG→LNGDP, LNTR_POS→LNGDP while a bi-directional causality is recorded for LNEXP_POS→LNGDP and LNLAB→LNGDP. In the ARDL model bi-directional causality is recorded from LNEXP→LNGDP, LNTR→LNGDP and LNLAB→LNGDP. The research then concludes with a strong asymmetric relationship between fiscal policy and economic growth. Recommendations raised are that government should avoid raising taxes but should look for policies that will help widen its tax revenue base and in financing projects government should avoid unproductive projects that do not yield economic growth.

Method of Calculating the Parameters of the Process of Reducing Pressure in a Vacuum-Evaporator

In agriculture, the use of humic preparations can increase the productivity, productivity of animals and poultry. The growth rate of consumption of humic preparations in 2021 … 2025 will be from 1 to 5% per year and the market capacity in Russia will be 1500 tons per reptile. Improvement of equipment for the production of humic preparations is urgent. The physical and mechanical properties of the humic suspension have been determined. In the production of humic preparations, medical centrifuges OS-6MC, a flow-through sedimentation centrifuge and a periodic vacuum evaporator (VVU) were used to increase the concentration of humic suspension. In terms of the energy of germination and germination of spring wheat, a rational method for increasing the concentration of humic suspension by evaporation has been substantiated. We have developed and patented a line with VVU to increase the concentration of humic suspension [21]. At the exhibition Golden Autumn - 2020 (Moscow) “For the production of highly efficient agricultural machinery and the introduction of advanced resource-saving technologies”: Kurgan State Agricultural Academy was awarded a bronze medal and a diploma: “For the development of a line for the production of a humic preparation.” When the time for the VVU to enter the operating mode is the sum of the heating time of the installation to the operating temperature and the time for the pressure drop in the installation from atmospheric to working. A method has been developed for calculating the time the vacuum evaporator reaches the operating mode at start-up. The heating time of the VVU with a tank of 50 liters from the initial installation temperature of 10 ° C to the boiler temperature of 85 ° C, and of the humic suspension to 60 ° C will be 30 minutes at a power source of 12 kW, which is confirmed by experiment. A method for calculating the parameters of the process of lowering the pressure in the VVU has been developed. Dependencies are obtained for studying the relationship between the design and technological parameters of the VVU when the pressure is reduced from atmospheric to working. The time of pressure reduction with a volume of 1 m3 of the vacuum system will be 5 … 6 minutes, which is confirmed by experiment.

Bioactivity of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (A. Murray) Parl. and Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don essential oils on Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) larvae and Phytophthora de Bary 1876 root pathogens

We examined essential oils (EOs) of Chamaecyparis lawsoniana and Thuja plicata (Cupressaceae), their antifeedant activity on Lymanthria dispar larvae and their antimicrobial activity. Studies of EOs showed that these two conifer species differed both in content of terpene classes and the major compounds. Total monoterpenes strongly dominated in T. plicata (96.4%), while C. lawsoniana was rich in both mono- and sesquiterpenes (40.8% and 30.3%, respectively) as well as in diterpenes (19.1%). The most dominant compounds of C. lawsoniana EO were: limonene (16.7%), oplopanonyl acetate (14.5%), beyerene (10.1%), and 13-epi-dolabradiene (6.7%). The dominant compound of T. plicata EOs was α-thujone (76.9%), followed by relatively small amounts of β- thujone (5.3%), sabinene (4.5%) and terpinene-4-ol (3.2%). The difference in EO compositions of the conifers was reflected on Lymantria dispar larvae performance. Larvae fed on the leaf discs treated by C. lawsoniana EO had a slight phagostimulatory effect at lower concentration shown by higher relative rate of food consumption and relative growth rate than the larvae in the control group. Contrastingly, leaf discs treated with EO of T. plicata EO had an antifeedant effect and lower relative consumption rate (RCR) and relative growth rate RGR than the larvae in the control group. Both tested EOs influenced substantially the colony growth of the subjected Phytophthora plurivora and P. quercina. Namely, 100% inhibitory effect was recorded at concentration of 0.1% in the case of C. lawsoniana EO, whereas of T. plicata colonies did not grow at 0.5% concentration. The implications of these findings and possibility of using the tested EOs in further experiments in vitro and in vivo are discussed.

Ocena zdolności jednostek samorządu terytorialnego do finansowania projektów inwestycyjnych w perspektywie finansowej 2021–2027

Purpose – The aim of the research is to assess the capacity of Polish local governments to finance investments in the EU 2021–2027 multiannual financial framework. Due to the importance of local governments as public investors, their capacity to finance invest-ments, which are largely development projects, is an important factor in increasing the international competitiveness of the entire country.Research method – The research consists in the construction of a forecasting model and then preparation of cash flow forecasts for all local governments in Poland. Four forecast scenarios made it possible to estimate the impact of changes in individual assumptions on the size of the investment capacity of local governments.Results – Forecasts indicate some symptoms of the local government finance crisis and the risk of its aggravation. Maintaining a faster growth rate of current expenditure than cur-rent revenue, with investment needs resulting, inter alia, from the necessity to absorb the EU funds, will lead to an unprecedented increase in debt. This relates primarily to poviat -cities responsible for the implementation of a significant part of public development projects. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The study was based on the authors’ method of forecasting financial processes in each local government (excluding voivodships). Its results allow the formulation of important conclusions. It was shown that in the case of a large number of local governments, the implementation of investments at the current level will be possible only on condition of a significant reduction in the growth of current expenditures. However, with regard to cities with poviat rights, it may be necessary to change the financing system itself.

Modeling the correlation between water resources carbon emission and water consumption

Study the influencing factors and future changes of consumption carbon emissions and water consumption, and provide scientific support for the formulation of targeted policies in the region. Analyze the mechanism of energy consumption structure on carbon intensity, calculate the carbon emission of water intake system, water supply system, drainage and sewage treatment system. Use the idea of carbon emission decomposition model to build a water consumption decomposition model. The LMDI is used to decompose all factors without residual error, and the trend coefficient of gray correlation degree is used to judge the growth trend of energy consumption and carbon emission. The Baiyangdian Lake Basin is selected as the research water area. Based on the statistical data from 1986 to 2018, the direct path coefficients of the respective variables can be obtained. The absolute value of the respective variable, t, is greater than t < 0.01(25) = 2.496, and indicating that the path coefficient of the respective variable to the dependent variable is extremely significant. The growth rate of total energy consumption and certain energy consumption is less than the growth rate of CO2 emissions, and the minimum detected carbon emissions per unit time is not less than 20 kg, indicating that the proposed method has certain monitoring efficiency and monitoring stability.

Transformation of the energy sector and its impact on the European Union’s external trade in energy raw materials in 2000–2020

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the multifaceted impact of the transformation of the energy sector on domestic economies and international economic relations under the conditions of growing global interdependence. The authors formulate the following research question: What were the changes in the consumption and structure of generating energy, as well as the structure of exports and imports of energy sources, resulting from the transformation of the energy sector in the EU? The following methods were used. The theoretical analysis of the energy sector transformation is based on an interdisciplinary approach proposed by representatives of the International Political Economy. The empirical analysis uses the following indicators: growth rates of energy consumption, shares of selected countries and the EU in the global energy consumption, shares of major sources in the consumption of energy in selected economies, shares of major energy sources in exports and imports of the EU and its member states. Considering the achievements of the EU’s energy policy focused on decreasing the consumption of energy and departing from traditional sources (especially coal) to renewables, the authors concentrate on the results and consequences of the energy policy in the EU. It revealed that the EU had better results on the global scale in limiting energy consumption in 2000–2020. However, the transformation of the energy sector that leads to greater use of renewables is still in the initial stages. Oil and natural gas remain the main sources of energy consumption. When evaluating the impact of transformation on EU energy trade, the dependence on high energy imports in the EU is notable, which actually increased in 2000–2019 from 56.3% to 60.7%. The structure of the imports remained basically the same. The share of oil and natural gas increased slightly, from 88.7% to 89.8%, and the share of renewables climbed from 0.1% to 1.4%. An unfavourable change from the point of view of EU energy policy is the growing share of solid fossil fuels, which was, for the most part, caused by imports to Poland, Slovakia, Czechia and Germany. The structure of exports was quite stable, with oil and natural gas as dominant sources (73.5% and 13.3%, respectively). However, the share of solid fossil fuels in EU exports decreased from 8.8% to 2.8% (2000–2019), which is a positive trend.

Перспективная оценка спроса на электроэнергию в РФ и регионах с учетом углубленной электрификации

A global priority of electrification expansion in all areas is also stated in the Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation. The study aims to forecast electricity demand in Russia taking into account possible electrification options in economic sectors. The article presents a multi-stage procedure and a concise review of methodological approaches to the long-term assessment of electricity demand, which considers the impact of complex interrelationships in social, economic and technological policies. In particular, this approach focuses on the regional level, where the interests of energy producers and consumers are reconciled. The current and promising directions of electricity use in Russian regions and economic sectors were analysed based on various statistics and forecasts. The conducted analysis demonstrated the stability of sectoral and territorial energy consumption patterns, as well as a decrease and convergence of values of gross regional product (GRP) energy intensity. Energy consumption of regions varies due to significant differences in industrial specialisation and living standards of the population. The highest energy consumption is observed in developed regions (Central Federal District) or regions with a large share of energy-intensive industries (Siberian Federal District). According to the accepted economic development and electrification expansion strategies for the period 2025–2040, on average, electricity demand in Russian regions is expected to increase by 1.4–1.8 % annually. It is anticipated that the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts will show the highest growth rates of energy consumption due to the accelerated development of these territories. Predicted dynamics of the gross domestic product (GDP) energy intensity in Russia confirms its compliance with global trends. The research findings may prove useful in creating programmes and development strategies for the country and its regions.
