Research on the Relationship between Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Airport Group and Regional Coordinated Development

The mutual development of airport groups and regions is gradually going global with the economic globalization. There is a contradiction between Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei (Jing-Jin-Ji) Airport Group and regional development, which leads to the unbalanced development of aviation enterprises in the region. Therefore, it is of major theoretical and practical significance to analyze the coordinated development relationship between Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group and the region. This paper selects representative index system, establishes the adaptability evaluation model of airport group and regional development, and quantitatively analyzes the adaptability level of Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group and radiation area. Taking New York Airport Group as a reference, the synergy degree between Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group and the region is evaluated by the synergy evaluation model. Analyze the reasons for the development of New York Airport Group, and put forward the measures for the coordinated development of Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group and the region in the future. The results show that the synergy index (SD) of Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group is 0.5381, which is lower than that of New York Airport Group (0.7507), and Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group is barely synergetic. It is necessary to optimize airspace, allocate flight resources, speed up the development of airport economy, and optimize the structure of airport groups. Jing-Jin-Ji Airport Group will be accelerated to enter a high-quality collaborative stage from the aspects of system and resource integration and government leadership.

Creating Food Value Chain Transformations through Regional Food Hubs: A Review Article

This article synthesizes the evidence on food value chains (FVCs) and regional food hubs (RFHs) through a systematic literature review and suggests future research directions based on the gaps identified in the review. The number of publications on FVCs and RFHs is increasing, indicating that these topics are gaining interest among scholars from different countries and disciplines. Bibliometric analysis and preferred reporting items for systematic review and a meta-analysis (PRISMA) flow chart are used to identify the data from Scopus. The results show that FVCs are an innovative solution to improve the skills and capacity of smallholder farmers through collaborative networks that can match the functions of RFHs. RFHs connect local producers and customers by operating a business based on social entrepreneurship and ecological approaches to increase local economic viability and the sustainability of agriculture products. FVCs and RFHs are designed to respond to supply chain insecurity with value-based approaches in order to achieve sustainable nutrition for the local community. Further research on FVCs and RFHs emphasizes that the business model of regional development in developing countries can improve food security sustainability based on social entrepreneurship, and emphasizes the environmental aspect that it can use to support the sustainability of developing countries local food.

Exploring the spatiotemporal changes in carbon storage under different development scenarios in Jiangsu Province, China.

Carbon storage (CS) is closely linked to the global challenge of climate change. Land use/cover (LULC) change is the main factor driving changes in CS, and evaluating the impact of LULC changes on CS is important for carbon balance. Taking Jiangsu Province as an example, we used the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs model to analyze the spatiotemporal changes in CS during 2000–2015. Then we coupled it with the patch-generating land use simulation model to simulate and predict LULC and CS in 2050 under four different development plans. The results showed that LULC change in Jiangsu Province was manifested mainly as transformation of cropland to construction land (3,485 km2) and cropland to water body (470 km2). The high value area for CS was concentrated mainly in forest land, water body and grassland, whereas the low value area was concentrated mainly in construction land. During 2000–2015, CS decreased by 0.23 Tg, and during 2015–2050, CS was predicted to decrease by 0.16, 1.69, 0.02, and 0.10 Tg under the baseline, fast, slow and harmonious development scenarios. The conversion of a large amount of cropland to construction land was the main cause of CS loss. In all scenarios, the carbon loss was the largest in southern Jiangsu and lowest in central Jiangsu. It is necessary to balance the conflict between economic development and ecological protection during the process of urbanization. This study can provide an important reference for decision makers during the formulation of regional development models and ecological management strategies.

Hidden Champions and the Development of Regions

Global market leadership is most often associated with large corporations. But in reality, there are thousands of medium-sized global market leaders who are hardly known, the so-called Hidden Champions. This is simply because the number of niche markets is far greater than the number of large markets. Hidden champions are more likely to be located in rural locations than in large cities and in this respect gain outstanding importance for the development of regions. Using the example of German hidden champions, the article shows why these companies are successful and what role their regional roots play. They make decisive contributions to the development of their home regions, not only in terms of economic power and jobs, but also for culture, education and infrastructure. The hidden champions concept can serve as a model for regional development and decentralization of the economy for many countries. This is particularly true for emerging countries, which should seek their future not in a few large corporations, but in numerous internationally competitive SMEs.

Is smart city a slogan? Evidence from China

ABSTRACT Many ideas of urban experiments have been used in sloganeering to stimulate short-term economic growth in China. A question arises: Is the smart city a slogan? This study estimated the relationship between smart city pilot projects and regional economic growth by using the difference-in-differences (DID) model and explored smart cities’ myths through 19 unstructured interviews. The following conclusions were drawn. First, smart city pilot projects positively affected regional economic growth, but with time-lag effects. Second, market and infrastructure effects co-shaped regional economic growth. Third, benefiting from a newly created market, a few cities with foundations for smart industries have developed rapidly. Over time, an increasing number of smart cities would benefit from the projects by the constructed smart infrastructure. Although scholars have long criticized previous urban experiments in China as a slogan only for land revenue generation, this study suggests that smart cities could be a new model for regional economic development through market and infrastructure effects.

Institutional Governance Influence Mechanism and Model of Regional Green Development in China

Green has become the underpinning of High-quality development in China. Green development is inseparable from the support of institutional governance. This study uses MVC mode to build institutional governance mechanism, and constructs institutional governance system and model of regional green development. The empirical results show the following: institutional governance has great influence on industrial green development. From the perspective of China's provincial industrial green development, Shandong Province has been maintaining the first position of governance investment. Green governance is better in southern China than in the northern provinces. And the institutional governance intensity of each province is not evenly distributed. Therefore, China's industrial green development still needs to further strengthen the system governance of northwest and northeast regions. Finally, this paper aims to improve the green development level of China's regional industrial economy through the construction of institutional governance system. It provides institutional environment for the development of green innovation.

Time Series Analysis of Economic Growth, Environmental Conditions and Their Coordination Degree: A Case Study of Provinces in Northeast China

Northeast China is an old industrial base and agricultural production base with a long history of industrial and agricultural development. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the contradiction between economic and social development and resource depletion and environmental damage has become increasingly acute due to the long-term extensive development model. Based on a long time-series data set, this paper aims to explore the regional economic development model, environmental problems, and coordination degree between them in Northeast China. The results show that the population in Northeast China presents an increasing trend at first and then a decreasing one, and the population distribution shows an agglomeration in the cities of Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, and Dalian. Urban-related land uses and GDP growth also exhibits agglomerations centered on these large cities. According to the changing trend of regional GDP and environmental investment, the synergistic relationship between the parameters is compared on a temporal scale, and a positive correlation between economic growth and environmental development is observed. We conclude that economic growth is closely correlated with environmental protection. If more attention is likely to be paid to environmental protection, the cities will develop more healthily under the background of urbanization. Based on the current status of the economy and environment, this paper puts forward constructive suggestions on promoting the coordinated development of regional economy and improving the ability of ecological environment governance. Improving the ecological environment’s overall improvement capability through approaches such as adjusting the industrial structure, promoting the use of clean energy, strengthening industrial pollution control, controlling pollutant emissions, and promoting the construction of regional environmental infrastructure are all critical issues that must be resolved quickly to achieve coordinated development.

Sea-land interdependence and delimitation of port hinterland-foreland structures in the international transportation system

Acknowledging that sea-land intermodal integration and transshipment are core transformations of the contemporary international logistic system, we study the spatial and functional structure of a port system across land and sea in this context. Previous port-driven regional development models have focused only on landside port-hinterland spatial structures in the local vicinity of ports, not seaside inter-port connections together. By revisiting the concepts of port triptych and hinterland-foreland continuum, we argue that the spatial structure of a port system should consider both flows to and from ports together when tracing spatial structures of hinterlands and forelands. Incorporating the network-based analytical model of the nonparametric weighted stochastic blockmodel, we study the global-scale structures of hinterlands and forelands under integrated landside-seaside freight flow dynamics. We investigate the network block structures of cargo shipping routes between Europe and the United States based on micro-level shipping flow data. We find a rich and meaningful collection of different network blocks of hinterlands, feeder and hub ports, and forelands that mirror the functional division of logistic processes across space, the interdependent relationships between hinterlands and forelands along a logistical continuum.

Regional agricultural cooperatives and subjective wellbeing of rural households in China

AbstractThis study conducted an empirical analysis of survey data collected from 466 rural households from Shandong Province, China, to determine how the subjective wellbeing of rural households is related to their membership in agricultural cooperatives, and the mediating effects of income and social capital. The results revealed that cooperative membership improved rural households’ subjective wellbeing. Furthermore, income and social capital both served as partial mediators between cooperative membership and subjective well‐being. Therefore, to improve subjective wellbeing, the role of cooperatives in expanding rural public space should be brought into full play. Moreover, multiple regional development models of cooperatives should be encouraged to increase household income and promote rural regional economic growth.

Assessment of the Leontiev productive matrix of the economic development model for Tyumen region (Russia)

Relevance. Monitoring has always been an important part of the management of regional development. Recently, this task has been gaining currency due to the development of modern information technologies of data collection and processing, citizen-government interaction and digital modelling. The task of goal evaluation, that is, comparison of the actual results with the intended ones in different spheres, among other things, requires us to build and adjust the macro-economic model of regional development and in particular to update the input-output matrix based on the region’s statistical data. Research objective. The study aims to build a table of input-output balance for the south of Tyumen region (Russia) based on the statistical data of standardized economic indicators. Method and data. Two options for estimating the input-output matrix for Tyumen region are described. In the first option, a well-known method of adjustment of the reference input-output matrix for the priority economic sectors of Tyumen region is supplemented by the regularization of the resulting parameters according to the least squares method for the selected period. The second option is based on the aggregation of industries by subsystems based on the cost structure table of the same industries, but for the entire country, followed by the identification of the already aggregated matrix, without adjusting the result to the standard. Results. In the first option, we obtained a table of input-output balance for 2018. The table quite accurately reproduces the invoice structure of costs and consumption. The aggregated input-output matrix, taking regularization into account, reproduces the actual costs of the region for 2016-2018 with good approximation. In the second option, the distribution of the resulting direct costs coefficients over the years does not exceed 10%. Conclusions. The resulting estimates of the Leontiev input-output matrices meet the requirements of productivity and balance and can be used in benchmark problems for the analysis and forecasting of the economic development of Tyumen region. A variation of the functional scheme for assessing and analyzing the discrepancies between the declared and actual trajectories of the indicators based on the Leontiev matrix is proposed.

Корпоративная политика, ориентированная на семьи работников: потенциал внедрения в российских регионах

Various social institutions may be involved in the implementation of the state’s pro-natalist policy. Family-friendly corporate policies, common in many countries, are still quite rare in Russia. At the same time, many socio-economic indicators significantly differ across Russian regions. The study aims to identify regional development models of the Russian corporate sector and determine those models that have the highest potential for dissemination of family-friendly corporate policies aimed at increasing the birth rate of the population in these regions. It is hypothesised that such Russian regions can be identified based on a multidimensional classification of socio-economic indicators. The hierarchical cluster analysis was used to model the Russian economic space. Then, the clusters were further grouped according to additional variables. The article analysed official regional statistics characterising the development of the corporate sector. Five clusters of Russian regions were identified. It is proved that corporate family-friendly policies can be disseminated in two regions in particular. Specific demographic (in particular, low birth rate and growth potential) and economic (high innovative activity, small number of loss-making enterprises, the highest demographic indicators among organisations and the average level of priveate consumption) conditions are observed in these clusters. It is concluded that in the corporate sector of these Russian regions, family-friendly policy may gain popularity among staff. This approach, accessible to enterprises, can act as an effective tool of demographic policy. Further research should focus on the analysis of cases of Russian enterprises implementing family-friendly policies, identification of benchmarks, assessment of the possibilities of scaling such experience and forecasting its demographic results.

The theory used in the analysis is adventure approach theory and tourism development components.The results of the analysis reveal that the supporting resources for mountain biking activities that are not yet fully available are contained in the location criteria related to permits and regulations, so that an appropriate plan is needed in order to meet the basic criteria in the completeness of supporting resources for adventure tourism. While the criteria for activity, security, natural resources and the environment, as well as the operational sector are almost entirely available, requiring development that is in accordance to make a sustainable mountain biking activities in Karangasem Regency.&#x0D; Keywords: Mountain Bike Activity, Adventure Tourism, Supporting Resources Criteria.

Maghreb 2021: Political Development Impasses and Threats to the Subregional System

The article is devoted to the relevant issues of international relations in the Maghreb subregion, which became especially acute after the rupture of diplomatic relations between Algeria and Morocco in August 2021. The authors analyze the general parameters of the Maghreb subsystem of international relations and identify key trends in the internal political development of its member states. The growing tension in the bilateral relations between Algeria and Morocco is only a symptom of the general crisis of the regional subsystem. The study is based on the analysis of a wide array of information and analytical materials and documents, as well as the authors field research in the border regions of Morocco (2019) and Algeria (2018, 2019) and interviews with Maghreb politicians (2020, 2021). The first part of the article highlights the key parameters of the Maghreb subsystem, describes its internal architecture, reveals the interconnections with other regional subsystems, and identifies the development trends of the Maghreb that took shape in the 2010s. The second part analyzes the internal political dynamics in Libya, Tunisia and Algeria. The current situation in each country can be described as an impasse, both in terms of the development of the democratic process and the possibilities for national consolidation on an authoritarian basis. The political elites of the region are unable to offer realistic strategies for state development and it leads to the growing alienation of societies. The third part of the article reveals the implications of political development crises for the regional relations. The authors conclude by putting forward a scenario of a partial reorientation of a number of Maghreb states from a deeper Mediterranean integration to finding other allies. They also identify prospects for rebalancing relations of Maghreb states with their Arab partners. In the framework of these processes the elites can use conflicting foreign policy agenda for the national consolidation of some countries. Finally, the authors raise the question of seeking new models of state and regional development in the Maghreb.

Research on Measurement and Application of China’s Regional Logistics Development Level under Low Carbon Environment

To solve the problem of fuzziness and randomness in regional logistics decarbonization evaluation and accurately assess regional logistics decarbonization development, an evaluation model of regional logistics decarbonization development is established. First, the evaluation index of regional logistics decarbonization development is constructed from three dimensions: low-carbon logistics environment support, low-carbon logistics strength and low-carbon logistics potential. Second, the evaluation indexes are used as cloud model variables, and the cloud numerical characteristic values and cloud affiliation degrees are determined according to the cloud model theory. The entropy weight method is used to determine the index weights, and the comprehensive determination degree of the research object affiliated to the logistics decarbonization level is calculated comprehensively. Finally, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is used as an example for empirical evidence, analyzing the development logistics decarbonization and its and temporal variability in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei provinces and cities. The results of the study show that the development logistics decarbonization in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei Province has been improved to different degrees during 2013–2019, but the development is uneven. Developing to 2019, the three provinces and cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei still have significant differences in terms of economic environment, logistics industry scale, logistics industry inputs and outputs, and technical support.

SUSTAINABILITY OF THE REGIONAL ECONOMY AND STRUCTURAL SHIFTS: THEORY AND PRACTICE

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of sustainable development of the regional economy in modern conditions, which is characterized by a high degree of unpredictability. This problem is of strategic importance for the reason that the political situation in the country primarily depends on the dynamics of socio-economic processes in the regions. The article discusses various interpretations of the category "stability of the regional economy" and the factors that determine the dynamics of the development of the situation in the regional economy. It is noted that this category is among the fairly controversial in modern economic science. However, there is no doubt that technology development will continue to play a strategic role in the face of ever-increasing competition between countries and regions. It is technologies that will be the most important condition for ensuring and maintaining a leading position. The article proposes a broader and more objective definition of the stability of the regional economy as the ability of the regional economy to quickly and effectively solve economic, social, environmental and other problems, which, ultimately, will allow not only to restore the trajectory of its development. Ideally, a sustainable regional economy should be capable of a high degree of adaptability to new conditions. Ensuring sustainable development of the regional economy presupposes appropriate institutional support: economic, political, social institutions not only contribute to the restoration of the previous trend of regional development. It is modern institutions that ensure the transition to a new model of regional economic development, which is characterized by a more efficient use of economic, human, financial and other resources.
