Asymmetric heterogeneities and the role of transfers in a public goods experiment

Previous experimental research has shown that cooperation is especially challenging in situations involving heterogeneous actors. Here, we investigate the effect of allowing unconditional transfers in a public goods game when actors differ asymmetrically in their endowments and productivity levels. Under this setup, full efficiency, in terms of highest maximum group payoff, can only be achieved with the full transfer of resources from the players with high endowment and low productivity to the players with high productivity but low endowment. We show that, in this setting, the availability of transfers enhances public good provision and cooperation. The voluntary transfer serves as a powerful cooperative signal, leading to high contribution rates among the recipients. However, if the transfer possibility is given but not used, cooperation erodes.

The Carbon Transfer From Plant to Soil Is More Efficient in Less Productive Ecosystems

AbstractThe organic carbon (C) in soil is mainly from plants via litter decomposition. Here, we developed a new litter decomposition submodel incorporating the microbial biomass effect on the decomposition rate based on the Michaelis‐Menten kinetics. This new submodel was coupled with the existing plant and soil submodels to simulate C cycling in natural ecosystems in the continental United States. The C transfer efficiency (EFF), defined as the percentage of C transferred to the next layer in the plant‐litter‐soil continuum, was quantified in different types of natural ecosystems. We estimated that on average 48.1% of gross primary productivity (GPP) was transferred from plant to litter and 15.1% of litterfall was transferred from litter to soil, meaning that the C that finally enters soil was on average approximately 7.3% of GPP. Ecosystems with a drier climate and lower GPP had higher EFF from plant to soil. The EFF concept we proposed provides an empirical proxy for diagnosing ecosystem C cycling and a framework for projecting the change of C fluxes and C pool sizes in response to climate change. If C transfer can represent energy transfer analogous to Lindeman Efficiency, our results suggest a pattern of resource and energy transfer in nature: higher resource or energy availability usually means lower resource or energy transfer efficiency.

Toward constructing an eco-account of cultivated land by quantifying the resources flow and eco-asset transfer in China

As an artificial and natural coupling system, cultivated land effectively link the socio-ecosystem by appearing the mixed outcomes from human’s interactions with nature including resource consumption, food security, urban growth, environmental pollution emission, land use change, and developmental policies. However, there still exists many problems that the impacts of human activities on environment are hard to assess and the responsibilities are difficult to allocate when discussing the cultivated land protection, despite the towards constant efforts. This paper tries to construct an eco-account of cultivated land by integrating resources utilization into socio-economic activities, as it indeed provides assistance to practical issues and also is a global trend of environmental-economic accounting. To achieve this, the multi-regional input-output table was used as the important tool that can be considered as the proxy of socio-economic system. The cultivated land is regarded to be embodied and transferred in the economic trade of products and services. We quantify the ecological footprint and ecosystem services flows of cultivated land, build the link between the actual consumption and the physical depletion, and identify the supplier and demander of cultivated land among regions in China. The results show that: 1) The embodied cultivate land in the final consumption presents difference in terms of 31 regions and consumption categories. The developed areas having higher virtual cultivated land consumption and dependence upon others. 2) The north China is mainly the supplier and south is the demander of cultivated land, and the major resources transfer flow is from the north to south and west to east of China. 3) By assessing the eco-value of cultivated land, a revised matrix table containing the account of cultivated land eco-asset transfer for each region is constructed. The framework of this paper can provide aid of assigning responsibilities concerning cultivated land protection and offer a new view to help find a practicable avenue to the eco-compensation or integrated utilization of cultivated land.

Postreproductive female killer whales reduce socially inflicted injuries in their male offspring

Understanding the evolution of menopause presents a long-standing scientific challenge1,2,3-why should females cease ovulation prior to the end of their natural lifespan? In human societies, intergenerational resource transfers, for example, food sharing and caregiving, are thought to have played a key role in the evolution of menopause, providing a pathway by which postreproductive females can boost the fitness of their kin.4,5,6 To date however, other late-life contributions that postreproductive females may provide their kin have not been well studied. Here, we test the hypothesis that postreproductive female resident killer whales (Orcinus orca) provide social support to their offspring by reducing the socially inflicted injuries they experience. We found that socially inflicted injuries, as quantified by tooth rake marks, are lower for male offspring in the presence of their postreproductive mother. In contrast, we find no evidence that postreproductive mothers reduce rake marking in their daughters. Similarly, we find no evidence that either reproductive mothers or grandmothers (reproductive or postreproductive) reduce socially inflicted injuries in their offspring and grandoffspring, respectively. Moreover, we find that postreproductive females have no effect on reducing the rake marks for whales in their social unit who are not their offspring. Taken together, our results highlight that directing late-life support may be a key pathway by which postreproductive females transfer social benefits to their male offspring.

Floral nectar production: what cost to a plant?

Floral nectar production is central to plant pollination, and hence to human wellbeing. As floral nectar is essentially a solution in water of various sugars, it is likely a valuable plant resource, especially in terms of energy, with plants experiencing costs/trade-offs associated with its production or absorption and adopting mechanisms to regulate nectar in flowers. Possible costs of nectar production may also influence the evolution of nectar volume, concentration and composition, of pollination syndromes involving floral nectar, and the production of some crops. There has been frequent agreement that costs of floral nectar production are significant, but relevant evidence is scant and difficult to interpret. Convincing direct evidence comes from experimental studies that relate either enhanced nectar sugar production (through repeated nectar removal) to reduced ability to produce seeds, or increased sugar availability (through absorption of additional artificial nectar) to increased seed production. Proportions of available photosynthate allocated by plants to nectar production may also indicate nectar cost. However, such studies are rare, some do not include treatments of all (or almost all) flowers per plant, and all lack quantitative cost-benefit comparisons for nectar production. Additional circumstantial evidence of nectar cost is difficult to interpret and largely equivocal. Future research should repeat direct experimental approaches that relate reduced or enhanced nectar sugar availability for a plant with consequent ability to produce seeds. To avoid confounding effects of inter-flower resource transfer, each plant should experience a single treatment, with treatment of all or almost all flowers per plant. Resource allocation by plants, pathways used for resource transfer, and the locations of resource sources and sinks should also be investigated. Future research should also consider extension of nectar cost into other areas of biology. For example, evolutionary models of nectar production are rare but should be possible if plant fitness gains and costs associated with nectar production are expressed in the same currency, such as energy. It should then be possible to understand observed nectar production for different plant species and pollination syndromes involving floral nectar. In addition, potential economic benefits should be possible to assess if relationships between nectar production and crop value are evaluated.

Information-Driven Integrated Healthcare: An Analysis of the Cooperation Strategy of County Medical Community Based on Multi-Subject Simulation.

The fragmentation and uneven quality of primary medical resources in China call for a deepening of integrated healthcare reform. China is promoting its county medical community (CMC) reform on a large scale in county-level administrative regions to promote the integration of local primary healthcare systems through information technology, which is consistent with the current trend of the digital governance era. Considering that the construction of a county medical community involves collaborative relationships between multi-level subjects, the evolutionary game theory was adopted in this study to construct a game model between the lead hospital of a CMC and primary healthcare institutions, and then the incentives of government department support were introduced to analyze the behavioral evolution of these three subjects. Taking into account the uncertainty of the real-life environment and information transformation, white Gaussian noise was introduced as a random disturbance term, and a numerical simulation was performed. In the two-subject model we focus on four parameters: information and management authority ceded by the primary healthcare institutions, integration coefficient of CMC information construction, intensity factor of information integration in the CMC, and medical resources delivered by the lead hospital. In the three-subject model we focus on three parameters: information and portion of authority ceded by the primary healthcare institutions and government departments, policy effect coefficient of CMC construction, and intensity of government departments' support for CMC construction. The simulation results show that there is a positive incentive for the concession of management power and information from the primary healthcare institutions to the lead hospital, but further determination of empowerment boundaries is needed. The lead hospital can improve the balance of medical resources in the county through the downward transfer of medical resources, but long-term resource delivery may inhibit the enthusiasm of the lead hospital. An improvement in the information integration intensity of the CMC can promote the efficient flow of information and knowledge and enhance the organizational closeness of the county medical community. At the same time, the integration of CMC information construction reduces the cost of collaboration among medical community members and streamlines and consolidates business modules, which can promote more efficient use of medical resources. The government departments' policies and funds provide obvious incentives to the lead hospital and primary healthcare institutions, but there is a need to explore appropriate financial payment ratios to balance the government's financial pressure.

MECHANISM CREATING CONDITIONS FOR PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL AND PSYCHO-PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT AND SELF-REALIZATION, SOCIAL ACTIVITY AND EMPLOYMENT YOUNG PEOPLE

Based on previous studies of the main components of the Hackathon-ecosystem of social integration, taking into account the conditions of the new outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic; the authors of the article proposed a general mechanism for the integration of the Hackathon ecosystem into the ecosystem of a higher education institution, which will allow organizing a complex interaction of interactive tools of the innovative chain of developing the human potential of youth, improving national security in the context of preventing a new outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular, the article proposes an organizational and management complex that ensures the creation and functioning of Hackathon-ecosystems of the university. It was determined that this complex is a system that can be formed by full-time units of the university and provides legal, organizational, managerial, financial, technical and other support to the Hackathon-ecosystem of the university, manifested in the form of the transfer of resources and information. The most significant elements of this complex are considered – the mechanism for creating the Hackathon-ecosystem of the university, the mechanism for supporting its activities, and the mechanism for administrative and managerial control. The study of the mechanism made it possible to identify a set of problems of organizational and managerial support, which may have a negative impact on the activities of the Hackathon-ecosystem of the university. It is suggested that the effectiveness of the University Hackathon-ecosystem functioning should be determined by the scientific, managerial, and material-technical task formed on the basis of the university, which forms and determines the features of the construction of its innovative ecosystem.

Distribution of the impact of monetary and fiscal policy instruments by technological modes and sectors of the economy

The subject of the study is the impact of monetary and fiscal policy instruments on the functioning of the structural elements of the economy, represented by sectors and technological structures. The purpose of the paper is to establish how the monetary and individual fiscal policy instruments influenced the structure of the Russian economy. The methodology consists of the “distributed control” doctrine, which modifies Tinbergen’s principle of “goals-instruments” of macroeconomic policy, since it allows to reveal the unequal power of the instrument by objects of economy, structural and empirical analysis, correlation-regression analysis, with which it is possible to show a picture of the distributed influence of monetary and fiscal policy instruments. A general algorithm of research and application of the doctrine of “distributed management” at the macroeconomic level are developed — by technological structures and economic sectors, which made it possible to obtain a picture of the distribution of the influence of monetary policy on economic objects, to identify the significance of individual fiscal policy instruments. The general result of the research is that the doctrine of “distributed management” used not only modifies the classical theory of economic policy, but also confirms that, in addition to the economic structure, the impact structure of standard monetary and fiscal policy instruments arises. The distribution of the most significant instruments of monetary and fiscal policy by technology and three sectors of the Russian economy to ensure its growth in the period 2011–2021 are obtained. It was found that the development of high-level processing and technological modes were more influenced by monetary than budgetary instruments, and the transfer of resources to the national welfare fund hindered their development. Fiscal policy measures — revenues, expenditures, budget deficit/surplus — did not have an equal impact on the development of the considered sectors of the economy. The prospect of further research is to develop a software module that includes ongoing analysis and automates calculations based on available statistics to change of monetary and fiscal policy measures in Russia aimed at developing the manufacturing sector and high-tech.

Contribution of the Algerian water management strategy to the agricultural sector of Setif province

Purpose. This study aims to examine the water resource management and transfers in Setif province, Algeria, focusing on their impact on agriculture and economic development. The study aims to understand the effectiveness of implemented strategies such as water transfer, dam construction, seawater desalination and desert water use in optimizing water resources and improving water availability.
 Results. The study found that the implementation of water resource transfer in Setif province has led to increase in the supply of drinking water, establishment of industrial complexes, and increased food security. The expansion of irrigated land and significant growth in crop production demonstrate the positive outcomes of this water transfer. However, challenges remain, such as the need to promote modern irrigation techniques, preserve water quality, and address environmental concerns.
 Scientific novelty. This research contributes to the understanding of water management in Algeria by providing insights into the experiences and lessons learned from Setif province. The study highlights the importance of adopting contemporary irrigation techniques, raising farmers’ awareness regarding wise exploitation of water resources, and solving water quality problems.
 Practical value. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for effective water resource management in Algeria and beyond. The results of the study from Setif province can help to develop and implement water management strategies in other regions, ultimately contributing to improved agricultural production, economic development, and long-term sustainability in the sector.

Indian dairy cooperative development: A combination of scaling up and scaling out producing a center-periphery structure

Our spatialized analysis of the development of Indian dairy cooperatives from 1995 to 2015 contributes both theoretically and empirically to research on inclusive business (IB) and development. We emphasize the degrees of inclusiveness through the distinction between scaling out and scaling up by using quantitative data related to business evolution during this period. We determine that the diversification of cooperative activities upstream and downstream combined with the preservation of smallholder access is a good indicator of IBs and inclusive ecosystems and, therefore, of scaling up. In contrast, while northern and eastern states have only low-level collection activities, the spatial concentration of large and diversified cooperatives in western Indian states shows a center-periphery structure, with scaling up taking place only in the center. The transfer of resources from mature to emerging cooperatives appears to be crucial, with consequences for both business model design and public intervention.

Mechanisms of equality and inequality in mammalian societies.

The extent of (in)equality is highly diverse across species of social mammals, but we have a poor understanding of the factors that produce or inhibit equitable social organizations. Here, we adopt a comparative evolutionary perspective to test whether the evolution of social dominance hierarchies, a measure of social inequality in animals, exhibits phylogenetic conservatism and whether interspecific variation in these traits can be explained by sex, age or captivity. We find that hierarchy steepness and directional consistency evolve rapidly without any apparent constraint from evolutionary history. Given this extraordinary variability, we next consider multiple factors that have evolved to mitigate social inequality. Social networks, coalitionary support and knowledge transfer advantage to privilege some individuals over others. Nutritional access and prenatal stressors can impact the development of offspring, generating health disparities with intergenerational consequences. Intergenerational transfer of material resources (e.g. stone tools, food stashes, territories) advantage those who receive. Nonetheless, many of the same social species that experience unequal access to food (survival) and mates (reproduction) engage in levelling mechanisms such as food sharing, adoption, revolutionary coalitions, forgiveness and inequity aversion. Taken together, mammals rely upon a suite of mechanisms of (in)equality to balance the costs and benefits of group living. This article is part of the theme issue 'Evolutionary ecology of inequality'.

The effects of time pressure on audit fees

This study investigates whether time pressure on the audit increases the cost of professional audit services. From 2003 to 2006, filing deadlines were shortened for accelerated filers (AFs) and large accelerated filers (LAFs) by 15 and 30 days, respectively, under the SEC's accelerated filing regulation. Time-pressure engagements are identified as those whose audit report dates in the year prior to implementation fell after the new deadlines. Comparing time-pressure AFs to control engagements, findings show no significant difference in audit fee adjustments during implementation. Looking at time-pressure LAFs, findings show evidence of fee decreases. Findings counter common criticism of the regulation and suggest available slack, where significant additional audit effort was not required to meet the new deadlines. Evidence points to resource transfers to (from) time-pressure (control) engagements during the first acceleration, and increasing reliance on internal controls of time-pressure LAFs during the second acceleration, as strategies used by auditors. Additional analyses document decreases to audit quality on time-pressure AFs but maintained quality on time-pressure LAFs.

Are natural resources a blessing or a curse for scientific and technical research in Africa?

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of natural resource rents on scientific and technical research in 51 African countries during the period 2000–2020. The results show that the natural resource curse hypothesis in the African research sector is valid. Natural resources that delay more scientific performance are minerals, forest and oil. For this reason, African countries should develop strategies that ensure the transfer of resources from the extractive sectors to the research sector. This transfer of resources requires the existence of good institutions, such as the definition, the protection of property rights and the regulation of the research sector. It also requires well-trained human capital. For instance, African countries need to equip their universities with appropriate infrastructure and define good laws that regulate the promotion of teachers.

Explore the Complex Interaction between Green Investment and Green Ecology: Evaluation from Spatial Econometric Models and China’s Provincial Panel Data

From the economic perspective, China has made remarkable progress, yet environmental concerns represent an alarm to the country’s long-term prosperity. The associated relationship between green investment and the green economy has important implications for the environment. Whether there is an interactive relationship between green investment and green ecology, current views seem to be at odds with each other. This paper employs a panel vector autoregressive model to construct an empirical analysis of China’s provincial panel data from 2005 to 2019. Specifically, generalized moment estimation, impulse response function, variance decomposition, and other measurement methods were applied to study the interaction between green investment and green ecological development. The research results show the following: (1) the inertial development of the green investment system seriously restricts the progress of green investment levels, and the long-term development of green ecology has a significant self-reinforcing trend; (2) the two-way interaction between green investment and green ecology shows a positive spillover effect in the short term, but the positive effect gradually weakens in the long run; (3) the impact of green ecology on green investment is most significant in the interactive relationship, and the positive effect of green ecology on green investment in the western region is the most prominent. Therefore, the government should standardize green investment standards and use policy guidance to promote the regional transfer of green investment and green ecological resources. Financial institutions should appropriately lower the financing threshold for polluting enterprises and municipal construction and leverage more social funds to flow into long-term green technologies and green industries. Companies should raise awareness of environmental disclosure, ban outdated production capacity, and transition to cleaner production models to secure green funding.

Is the Social Safety Net a Long-Term Investment? Large-Scale Evidence From the Food Stamps Program.

We use novel, large-scale data on 17.5 million Americans to study how a policy-driven increase in economic resources affects children's long-term outcomes. Using the 2000 Census and 2001-13 American Community Survey linked to the Social Security Administration's NUMIDENT, we leverage the county-level rollout of the Food Stamps program between 1961 and 1975. We find that children with access to greater economic resources before age five have better outcomes as adults. The treatment-on-the-treated effects show a 6% of a standard deviation improvement in human capital, 3% of a standard deviation increase in economic self-sufficiency, 8% of a standard deviation increase in the quality of neighbourhood of residence, a 1.2-year increase in life expectancy, and a 0.5 percentage-point decrease in likelihood of being incarcerated. These estimates suggest that Food Stamps' transfer of resources to families is a highly cost-effective investment in young children, yielding a marginal value of public funds of approximately sixty-two.

Strategic energy flows in input‐output relations: A temporal multilayer approach

AbstractThe energy consumption, the transfer of resources through the international trade, the transition towards renewable energies and the environmental sustainability appear as key drivers in order to evaluate the resilience of the energy systems. Concerning the consumptions, in the literature a great attention has been paid to direct energy, but the production of goods and services also involves indirect energy. Hence, in this work we consider different types of embodied energy sources and the time evolution of the sectors' and countries' interactions. Flows are indeed used to construct a directed and weighted temporal multilayer network based respectively on renewable and non‐renewable sources, where sectors are nodes and layers are countries. We provide a methodological approach for analysing the network reliability and resilience and for identifying critical sectors and economies in the system by applying the Multi‐Dimensional HITS algorithm. Then, we evaluate central arcs in the network at each time period by proposing a novel topological indicator based on the maximum flow problem. In this way, we provide a full view of economies, sectors and connections that play a relevant role over time in the network and whose removal could heavily affect the stability of the system. We provide a numerical analysis based on the embodied energy flows among countries and sectors in the period from 1990 to 2016. Results prove that the methods are effective in catching the different patterns between renewable and non‐renewable energy sources.

Sulfur stable isotopes as a tracer of insect migration and consumption by fish predators

Resource flows between freshwater ecosystems can greatly affect foodweb dynamics. The seasonal movement of a family of aquatic insects, water boatmen, or corixids (Hemiptera: Corixidae) represents an important transfer of resources between wetland and river ecosystems. Corixids migrate en masse from wetlands in the North American prairies to rivers every autumn to overwinter. In the North and South Saskatchewan rivers, Saskatchewan, Canada, several fish species prey upon these migratory corixids. Here, we examined the utility of the stable isotope ratio of sulfur, δ34S, in tracing the migration of corixids between wetlands and the North and South Saskatchewan rivers. We also assessed the extent to which riverine fish use migratory corixids as a dietary subsidy. We found that both corixids and other wetland invertebrates exhibited a mean δ34S value of −10.5 ± 5.8‰, lower than riverine invertebrates at −4.1 ± 4.1‰. Specifically, riverine invertebrates from the South Saskatchewan River were more depleted in 34S than those from the North Saskatchewan River, with means of −5.1 ± 4.1‰ and −1.4 ± 2.8‰, respectively. In summer, corixid-feeing and noncorixid-feeding fish exhibited similar δ34S values in liver tissue, whereas in spring and autumn, corixid feeders exhibited more negative δ34S values. Isotope mixing models indicated that corixid-feeding species may have derived 34 to 65% of liver tissue from wetland sources in spring, 15 to 34% in summer, and 41 to 78% in autumn, whereas contributions to noncorixid-feeding species ranged from 4 to 17% across all seasons. We conclude that δ34S has the potential to trace insect movement and consumer use between isotopically distinct freshwater systems.

The ability of financial support of the educational sphere in the process of financial decentralization of the region: economic and legal aspect

The article considers the possibility of optional implementation of financial and educational decentralization approaches in Ukraine. The strategic role of CMU Order No. 333-r dated April 1, 2014 on the approval of the Concept of Reforming Local Self-Government and Territorial Organization of Power in Ukraine as a conceptual measure of financial and educational transformations is outlined. The legal status and legal options of educational self-government at the level of OTG are defined in accordance with the national "normative basis of decentralization": the Law of Ukraine "On the Voluntary Association of Territorial Communities" No. 157-VIII, the Law of Ukraine "On the Principles of State Regional Policy" No. 156-VIII, etc., as well as relevant legislation (the Law of Ukraine "On Education" No. 2145- VIII of the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education" No. 1556-VII, etc.).
 A terminological distinction between the concepts of "power decentralization" and "financial decentralization of the region" is proposed. The problem of budgetary and educational provision of scientific and educational facilities is conceptualized spheres in Ukraine through the prism of the Budget Code of Ukraine No. 2456-VI.
 Examples of foreign decentralization-educational (management and financial) support are presented and implementation methods of its application in Ukraine are proposed.
 The ideological problem is that the decentralization of power presupposes, among other things, the financial independence of the region (one of the principles of decentralization is the transfer of resources from the ODF to the OMS), and the issue of its provision is problematic for a country that is used to building financial and economic relations by the "vertical" principle, i.e. "from top to bottom".
 Taking into account the dependent connection of the educational sphere in Ukraine on the accompanying and sectoral legislation, such trends, without having a direct impact on the volume and expenditure mechanisms of scientific and educational support from the State Budget of Ukraine, create a precedent of institutional and jurisdictional inconsistency.
 The issue of financial support for higher education and directly – institutions of higher education (HEIs) has several problems, among which “financing of expenses for the maintenance of HEIs, not the actual cost of the educational process” stands out; calculation of budget transfers only in the amount of "educational needs" (without cultural and sports and social assistance initiatives of the development and education self-government); inadequate financial and logistical support of vocational education as a subcomponent and pregenerator of higher education in Ukraine.

Credit and Investment support for the development of Ukraine’s agricultural and economy sector

One of the key problems of the modern agricultural sector of the national economy is the achievement of stable economic growth. In this context, the system of credit and investment support occupies the main place in the expanded reproduction of this priority industry for the economy of Ukraine. The research aims to review the main trends in credit and investment provision of the agrarian sector of the national economy and to determine further investigations in this direction. It has been established that for the formation of an effective system of credit and investment support for the agricultural sector, it is necessary to consider such positions as the influence of bank lending and climate shocks on the investment decisions of farmers, global and regional trends in the direction of the gross accumulation of fixed capital and fixed assets in agriculture, mechanisms for fixing conditions for the transfer of investment resources for use by agro-industrial companies, financial inequality between the urbanized and rural areas. It has been proven that bank lending is the key tool in all forms of credit and investment support for the agricultural sector. This is especially true during the period of martial law in Ukraine. Using the method of economic and mathematical modelling, it can be argued that bank lending is a strategic financial resource in the formation of credit and investment support for the agricultural sector. A system of credit and investment support is proposed, which is primarily based on the improvement of the system of state regulation of the agrarian sector. It has been proven that to increase the level of effectiveness of the system of credit and investment provision of the agricultural sector, attention should be paid to such an instrument as project financing and a review of the very structural composition of the state regulation of agricultural production, considering the practice of European Union. Such approaches can be used by state authorities when developing a strategy for the development of the agrarian sector in the conditions of martial law and the post-war period, as well as making infrastructural changes in the process of interaction between the banking and agrarian sectors of the national economy

Coordinated development of regional resources, environment, and economic growth under the background of low-carbon economy

IntroductionAt present, the rapid growth of social and economic development has also brought great challenges to the development of regional resources and environment. With the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, the coordinated development of regional resources, environment and economic growth has attracted more and more attention. The coordinated development of resources, environment and economic growth is not only the engine of industrial growth, but also the accelerator to promote industrial transfer and optimal allocation of resources, which has injected a strong impetus into social development. However, with the continuous upgrading of the industrial structure, environmental pollution, unbalanced economic development, resource shortage and other problems have gradually emerged in various important development areas.MethodsIn order to effectively solve this dilemma, this paper takes the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region (BTH) as an example, based on the analysis of the current situation of the economic and environmental development of BTH region and the influencing factors, combined with the background of low-carbon economy (LCE), effectively studies the coordinated development of its resources, environment and economic growth. In order to verify the effectiveness of low-carbon economic development, this paper, based on the actual development data of BTH region, tests the three dimensions of economic benefit index, environmental benefit index and emission reduction efficiency index.ResultsThe results show that the average environmental benefit index of 13 cities in the BTH region after the implementation of the target is about 0.457. The average benefit index before the implementation of the target was about 0.449.DiscussionFrom the final results of the test, it can be seen that the development of low-carbon economy has strong feasibility for promoting the coordinated development of regional resources, environment and economic growth.
