description Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal 2020Publisher:MDPI AG Authors: Qiang Fu; Xiaoxin Ma;In this study, we investigated the influence of overall financial development and its components on energy consumption using the panel data of 120 countries and the generalized method of moments (GMM). By dividing the sample into developed and developing countries, we further examined the national differences of the impact of financial development on energy consumption. The empirical results indicate that the overall financial development significantly positively impacts energy consumption from a worldwide perspective, and its two components (financial institution and the financial market) have the same effect. The analysis of national differences indicates that the financial development also positively impacts energy consumption in developing countries but with no obvious effect in developed countries. The results also suggest that financial development cannot be used to restrain the increase in energy consumption from the global perspective, and policymakers in developing countries must balance the relationship between the development of the financial sector and energy consumption.

Previously, several studies have tried to analyze the various determinants of energy intensity for different countries and regions. However, none of the studies have focused on the asymmetric determinants of energy intensity in the context of China. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the asymmetric determinants of energy intensity in China. We have gathered data for China over the period 1985-2019 and applied linear and non-linear ARDL models. In the linear model, only energy prices reduce the energy intensity in the long run. Moreover, the long-run effects of both energy prices and economic development are asymmetric; however, positive changes in both variables help to reduce energy intensity. Clearly, the results are asymmetric in nature; hence, the policymakers should consider both positive and negative shocks in energy prices and economic development while making any policy with regard to lowering energy intensity.

Spring Festival travel rush is a phenomenon in China that population travel intensively surges in a short time around Chinese Spring Festival. This phenomenon, which is a special one in the urbanization process of China, brings a large traffic burden and various kinds of social problems, thereby causing widespread public concern. This study investigates the spatial-temporal characteristics of Spring Festival travel rush in 2015 through time series analysis and complex network analysis based on multisource big travel data derived from Baidu, Tencent, and Qihoo. The main results are as follows: First, big travel data of Baidu and Tencent obtained from location-based services might be more accurate and scientific than that of Qihoo. Second, two travel peaks appeared at five days before and six days after the Spring Festival, respectively, and the travel valley appeared on the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival travel network at the provincial scale did not have small-world and scale-free characteristics. Instead, the travel network showed a multicenter characteristic and a significant geographic clustering characteristic. Moreover, some travel path chains played a leading role in the network. Third, economic and social factors had more influence on the travel network than geographical location factors. The problem of Spring Festival travel rush will not be effectively improved in a short time because of the unbalanced urban-rural development and the unbalanced regional development. However, the development of the modern high-speed transport system and the modern information and communication technology can alleviate problems brought by Spring Festival travel rush. We suggest that a unified real-time traffic platform for Spring Festival travel rush should be established through the government's integration of mobile big data and the official authority data of the transportation department.

Sustainable urban planning is essential in mediating the natural and built environments globally, yet, there is little progress as regards its attainment in developing countries. Rapid and unplanned urbanization continue to threaten the sustainability of many cities in Africa. By selecting Morogoro Municipal Council (MMC) in Tanzania as an example, this study applied well-known remote sensing techniques to understand the dynamics of urban growth and the implications for sustainable urban planning. The study analyzes spatio-temporal characteristics for eighteen years (2000–2018) based on urban land density using gradient and grid-based analysis to further examine land use and urban land density nexus. The results indicate declining urban land densities with distance to the city center, indicating a less compact and fragmented development at the urban fringes; and northward development with limited development to the south of MCC. The knowledge and understanding of the patterns of spatio-temporal conditions, land use planning, and management interventions in MMC are necessary for addressing the inadequacies associated with rapid urbanization within the study area. On this basis, we propose a shift from the modernist to the communicative planning strategy that strongly integrates the urban social, economic, and environmental imperatives, while being adaptable to evolving realities. This plan should also aim to curtail urban sprawl and create a viable city system and economically prosperous city structure for MMC.

For further information contact us at helpdesk@openaire.eudescription Publicationkeyboard_double_arrow_right Article , Journal 2021Publisher:Elsevier BV Authors: Yi Ding; Xinyi Geng; Peng Wang; Wei-Qiang Chen;Abstract The rapid economic development in emerging economies is deeply coupled with massive material use, which poses serious challenges to the environment. Thus, the desired transition towards sustainable society requires a more complete understanding of the interplay of material stock and economic development. To investigate how the productivity of materials evolves as the economy grows, we develop a modified Cobb-Douglas production function model by incorporating steel stock as one input factor and conduct a panel regression analysis based on China's provincial-level data from 1990 to 2016. Our empirical results indicate that steel stock plays a vital role, almost equivalent to labor and non-steel capital stock, in economic growth in China, and output elasticity of steel stock, which reflects its productivity, increases with economic development but might decline at a very developed stage. Potential factors leading to such variations in steel stock productivity are further explored by an extended model. It is found that industrialization and urbanization levels contribute positively to the output elasticity of steel stock while the existing stock level plays an opposite role. As industrialization and urbanization levels hit the upper limit when the economy matures, we predict that China's steel stock productivity will reach a plateau or start decreasing, depending on the future path of investment in materials.

Against this background, from the perspective of energy intensity gap evolution of BRI countries, this paper combines the panel smooth transition model with β -convergence model to investigate the role of China-BRI trade in energy intensity convergence of 59 BRI countries during 1996–2015, including the trade scale effect, technology effect and composite effect, as well as the tempo-spatial differences of energy intensity convergence rates. The empirical results show that, first, in the premise of reducing energy intensity, the scale of China-BRI trade facilitates energy intensity convergence rate by about 13% of BRI countries when exceeding the trade threshold value. Second, the technology effect accelerates the energy intensity convergence rate in the context of reducing energy intensity; in particular, the high-skill and low-medium skill technology spillover effect increase the energy intensity convergence rate by 12% and 15%, respectively. Third, the composite effect appears insignificant on the energy intensity convergence of BRI countries. Finally, BRI countries with larger bilateral trade scale or more shares of technology-intensive imports with China tend to have greater energy intensity convergence rates than other counterparts.

However, their contributions in quantity have been less studied compared to the empirical econometrical tests. Here, we use a factor-reversible structural decomposition method featuring input–output analysis to explore the impacts of urbanization and changes in consumption patterns on incremental household carbon emissions, focusing on sectoral emissions. We found that urbanization and changes in consumption patterns contributed to emissions. Electricity and heating providers, and the transportation sector, contributed the most emissions. Mitigation policies are required, as are structural economic changes and the fostering of green procurement and consumption.

Based on data from China’s seven pilot regional carbon markets, we evaluate the current CO2 trading price distortions. The empirical results indicate that during the study period, the average CO2 shadow price for the target cities is 1915.86 yuan per tonne, decreasing to 1880.57 yuan per tonne when using the bootstrap method for bias correction. The overall trends of CO2 shadow prices in most key cities are increasing given the strengthening of environmental regulations following the 11th Five-Year Plan. In addition, compared with the CO2 shadow prices in this paper, carbon trading prices in pilot cities present significantly negative distortions, which may fail to reflect the real opportunity cost of carbon abatement. Based on the findings of this study, several policy recommendations are proposed.

(eds.), Selected Topics in Coastal Research: Engineering, Industry, Economy, and Sustainable Development. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 94, pp. 727–731. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.China is striving to realize the regional integration development of coastal and inland economies. It is a key strategy for economic development at present stage in China. To scientifically lead the synergetic development of regional economy integration, this paper attempts to analyze and conclude the driving forces the coastal economy can play on the inland economy from the theoretical and practical perspectives. Based on the theories of port-Hinterland interaction and regional division of labor, it is investigated about how the economies in coastal port and inland cities in Liaoning Province are developing now. With data of GDPs and location quotient available for real cases as reference, the interactive synergy between coastal and inland community economies is measured quantitatively using the Logistic model in an attempt to conclude the push-pull powers between the two with the marginal and elastic analysis. In addition, a synergistic development strategy is also made for coastal and inland community economies. A quantitative and qualitative study is indeed significant for leading the synthetic development of regional economies.

Rapid urban growth in major cities of a country poses challenges for sustainable development. Particularly in Africa, the process of rapid urbanization is little understood and research is mostly limited to single cities. Thus, this study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the growth and spatial patterns of urban development in the three major cities of Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Adama, and Hawassa) from 1987 to 2017. Also, the applicability of diffusion and coalescence theory on the evolution of these cities has been tested. Remote sensing and GIS technologies were combined with spatial metrics and morphological analysis was employed to undertake this study. The result revealed that all the studied cities experienced accelerated growth in the urbanized areas, but the cities with a larger initial urbanized size were associated with lower expansion rates. Differences in extent and direction of expansion in each city were mostly related to physical features, urban master plans, and policies, with an increase in the irregularity and dispersion of urban growth, representing strong evidence of urban sprawl. The spatiotemporal analysis confirmed that the urbanization processes of Addis Ababa and Adama were consistent and Hawassa city diverged from expectations based on diffusion and coalescence theory. In general, large cities with strong economic growth in a country fail to effectively control the scattered nature of urban growth, thus requiring aggressive policy intervention. The approach used in this study permits a deeper exploration of urban development patterns and the identification of priority areas for effective urban planning and management.

Previously, several studies have tried to analyze the various determinants of energy intensity for different countries and regions. However, none of the studies have focused on the asymmetric determinants of energy intensity in the context of China. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the asymmetric determinants of energy intensity in China. We have gathered data for China over the period 1985-2019 and applied linear and non-linear ARDL models. In the linear model, only energy prices reduce the energy intensity in the long run. Moreover, the long-run effects of both energy prices and economic development are asymmetric; however, positive changes in both variables help to reduce energy intensity. Clearly, the results are asymmetric in nature; hence, the policymakers should consider both positive and negative shocks in energy prices and economic development while making any policy with regard to lowering energy intensity.

Spring Festival travel rush is a phenomenon in China that population travel intensively surges in a short time around Chinese Spring Festival. This phenomenon, which is a special one in the urbanization process of China, brings a large traffic burden and various kinds of social problems, thereby causing widespread public concern. This study investigates the spatial-temporal characteristics of Spring Festival travel rush in 2015 through time series analysis and complex network analysis based on multisource big travel data derived from Baidu, Tencent, and Qihoo. The main results are as follows: First, big travel data of Baidu and Tencent obtained from location-based services might be more accurate and scientific than that of Qihoo. Second, two travel peaks appeared at five days before and six days after the Spring Festival, respectively, and the travel valley appeared on the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival travel network at the provincial scale did not have small-world and scale-free characteristics. Instead, the travel network showed a multicenter characteristic and a significant geographic clustering characteristic. Moreover, some travel path chains played a leading role in the network. Third, economic and social factors had more influence on the travel network than geographical location factors. The problem of Spring Festival travel rush will not be effectively improved in a short time because of the unbalanced urban-rural development and the unbalanced regional development. However, the development of the modern high-speed transport system and the modern information and communication technology can alleviate problems brought by Spring Festival travel rush. We suggest that a unified real-time traffic platform for Spring Festival travel rush should be established through the government's integration of mobile big data and the official authority data of the transportation department.

Sustainable urban planning is essential in mediating the natural and built environments globally, yet, there is little progress as regards its attainment in developing countries. Rapid and unplanned urbanization continue to threaten the sustainability of many cities in Africa. By selecting Morogoro Municipal Council (MMC) in Tanzania as an example, this study applied well-known remote sensing techniques to understand the dynamics of urban growth and the implications for sustainable urban planning. The study analyzes spatio-temporal characteristics for eighteen years (2000–2018) based on urban land density using gradient and grid-based analysis to further examine land use and urban land density nexus. The results indicate declining urban land densities with distance to the city center, indicating a less compact and fragmented development at the urban fringes; and northward development with limited development to the south of MCC. The knowledge and understanding of the patterns of spatio-temporal conditions, land use planning, and management interventions in MMC are necessary for addressing the inadequacies associated with rapid urbanization within the study area. On this basis, we propose a shift from the modernist to the communicative planning strategy that strongly integrates the urban social, economic, and environmental imperatives, while being adaptable to evolving realities. This plan should also aim to curtail urban sprawl and create a viable city system and economically prosperous city structure for MMC.

Thus, the desired transition towards sustainable society requires a more complete understanding of the interplay of material stock and economic development. To investigate how the productivity of materials evolves as the economy grows, we develop a modified Cobb-Douglas production function model by incorporating steel stock as one input factor and conduct a panel regression analysis based on China's provincial-level data from 1990 to 2016. Our empirical results indicate that steel stock plays a vital role, almost equivalent to labor and non-steel capital stock, in economic growth in China, and output elasticity of steel stock, which reflects its productivity, increases with economic development but might decline at a very developed stage. Potential factors leading to such variations in steel stock productivity are further explored by an extended model. It is found that industrialization and urbanization levels contribute positively to the output elasticity of steel stock while the existing stock level plays an opposite role. As industrialization and urbanization levels hit the upper limit when the economy matures, we predict that China's steel stock productivity will reach a plateau or start decreasing, depending on the future path of investment in materials.

Against this background, from the perspective of energy intensity gap evolution of BRI countries, this paper combines the panel smooth transition model with β -convergence model to investigate the role of China-BRI trade in energy intensity convergence of 59 BRI countries during 1996–2015, including the trade scale effect, technology effect and composite effect, as well as the tempo-spatial differences of energy intensity convergence rates. The empirical results show that, first, in the premise of reducing energy intensity, the scale of China-BRI trade facilitates energy intensity convergence rate by about 13% of BRI countries when exceeding the trade threshold value. Second, the technology effect accelerates the energy intensity convergence rate in the context of reducing energy intensity; in particular, the high-skill and low-medium skill technology spillover effect increase the energy intensity convergence rate by 12% and 15%, respectively. Third, the composite effect appears insignificant on the energy intensity convergence of BRI countries. Finally, BRI countries with larger bilateral trade scale or more shares of technology-intensive imports with China tend to have greater energy intensity convergence rates than other counterparts.

However, their contributions in quantity have been less studied compared to the empirical econometrical tests. Here, we use a factor-reversible structural decomposition method featuring input–output analysis to explore the impacts of urbanization and changes in consumption patterns on incremental household carbon emissions, focusing on sectoral emissions. We found that urbanization and changes in consumption patterns contributed to emissions. Electricity and heating providers, and the transportation sector, contributed the most emissions. Mitigation policies are required, as are structural economic changes and the fostering of green procurement and consumption.

Based on data from China’s seven pilot regional carbon markets, we evaluate the current CO2 trading price distortions. The empirical results indicate that during the study period, the average CO2 shadow price for the target cities is 1915.86 yuan per tonne, decreasing to 1880.57 yuan per tonne when using the bootstrap method for bias correction. The overall trends of CO2 shadow prices in most key cities are increasing given the strengthening of environmental regulations following the 11th Five-Year Plan. In addition, compared with the CO2 shadow prices in this paper, carbon trading prices in pilot cities present significantly negative distortions, which may fail to reflect the real opportunity cost of carbon abatement. Based on the findings of this study, several policy recommendations are proposed.

(eds.), Selected Topics in Coastal Research: Engineering, Industry, Economy, and Sustainable Development. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 94, pp. 727–731. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.China is striving to realize the regional integration development of coastal and inland economies. It is a key strategy for economic development at present stage in China. To scientifically lead the synergetic development of regional economy integration, this paper attempts to analyze and conclude the driving forces the coastal economy can play on the inland economy from the theoretical and practical perspectives. Based on the theories of port-Hinterland interaction and regional division of labor, it is investigated about how the economies in coastal port and inland cities in Liaoning Province are developing now. With data of GDPs and location quotient available for real cases as reference, the interactive synergy between coastal and inland community economies is measured quantitatively using the Logistic model in an attempt to conclude the push-pull powers between the two with the marginal and elastic analysis. In addition, a synergistic development strategy is also made for coastal and inland community economies. A quantitative and qualitative study is indeed significant for leading the synthetic development of regional economies.

Rapid urban growth in major cities of a country poses challenges for sustainable development. Particularly in Africa, the process of rapid urbanization is little understood and research is mostly limited to single cities. Thus, this study provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the growth and spatial patterns of urban development in the three major cities of Ethiopia (Addis Ababa, Adama, and Hawassa) from 1987 to 2017. Also, the applicability of diffusion and coalescence theory on the evolution of these cities has been tested. Remote sensing and GIS technologies were combined with spatial metrics and morphological analysis was employed to undertake this study. The result revealed that all the studied cities experienced accelerated growth in the urbanized areas, but the cities with a larger initial urbanized size were associated with lower expansion rates. Differences in extent and direction of expansion in each city were mostly related to physical features, urban master plans, and policies, with an increase in the irregularity and dispersion of urban growth, representing strong evidence of urban sprawl. The spatiotemporal analysis confirmed that the urbanization processes of Addis Ababa and Adama were consistent and Hawassa city diverged from expectations based on diffusion and coalescence theory. In general, large cities with strong economic growth in a country fail to effectively control the scattered nature of urban growth, thus requiring aggressive policy intervention. The approach used in this study permits a deeper exploration of urban development patterns and the identification of priority areas for effective urban planning and management.
