Analysing Materials and Energy Flows in an Industrial District using an Enterprise Input–Output Model

Recent approaches to sustainable development leave much room for policies at a local level. In fact, it is becoming evident that targets such as increasing resource productivity, preserving natural cycles, or extending the present level of welfare, are best pursued within the confines of a local area. In particular, environmental changes are best brought about by considering local systems of firms as cornerstones of cooperative strategies and using data on materials and energy use in physical terms. In this paper, an enterprise input–output model is developed for an industrial district, i.e. a local group of firms specialized in the production of a single final output. The model allows for a detailed quantitative analysis of materials and energy flows and the consequent generation of waste and pollution. As a planning tool, the model may be used to evaluate alternative scenarios, such as the possibility of re- using waste taking account of sustainability requirements. An empirical case study applies the model to an industrial district in Southern Italy producing leather sofas.     

Regional integration: an empirical assessment of Russia

Using a statistical model of commodity trade, we quantify the evolution of regional economic integration within Russia during 1995–1999, and explore potential determinants of this evolution. Our integration measure exhibits rich regional variation that, when aggregated to the national level, fluctuates substantially over time. In accounting for this behavior, we draw in part on theoretical models that emphasize the potential role of openness to international trade and regional disparities in income in threatening economic integration. Controlling for a host of additional regional- and national-level variables, we find a strong negative correspondence between openness to international trade and internal economic integration.

湿地公园规划的生态服务功能影响预评价

鉴于湿地生态系统的特殊性和敏感性,科学地保护和利用湿地资源、合理地进行湿地利用规划,一直是相关学者所关注的问题;以安徽省北部淮河三汊河湿地为例,从水文调节、大气调节、水体净化、物质生产、文化功能、提供生境和生物多样性价值等方面采用替代成本法、恢复成本法、市场价格法和影子工程法对湿地生态服务价值进行经济核算;分别以生态服务功能价值的理论值(2152.9万元)和现状值(1982.7万元)为参考标准,进行湿地公园规划对湿地生态影响的比较分析,预评价湿地公园规划后的生态服务功能价值为2447.2万元,较理论值和现状值都高;在各项服务功能中,除物质生产功能影响为负值外,其它各项值均为正值,在水文调节、水体净化和文化功能方面变化值较大,因而,从生态服务功能角度考虑,可以认为公园规划具备合理性和可行性。     

我国高科技企业知识资本参与企业收益分配方式选择

企业的成功更多地依赖于R＆D的投入，依赖于技术的创新和使用。高科技企业，具有强烈的“以人为本”的色彩，其研发人员的比重较高，技术人才在报酬和产权方面具有较高的要求，且员工流动性强；如何挽留核心人才是高科技企业面临的首要问题。知识资本参与企业收益分配可以稳定研发队伍、吸引高技术人才。     

Bayesian MCMC Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci in a Half-sib Design: a Graphical Model Perspective

Graphical models provide a powerful and flexible approach to the analysis of complex problems in genetics. While task-specific software may be extremely efficient for any particular analysis, it is often difficult to adapt to new computational challenges. By viewing these genetic applications in a more general framework, many problems can be handled by essentially the same software. This is advantageous in an area where fast methodological development is essential. Once a method has been fully developed and tested, problem-specific software may then be required. The aim of this paper is to illustrate the potential use of a graphical model approach to genetic analyses by taking a very simple and well-understood problem by way of example.     

Spatial determinants of Japanese FDI in China

Research on foreign direct investment in China has spawned an increasingly large literature. Whilst regional cleavages with respect to the distribution of foreign direct investment (FDI) are acknowledged, empirical research on the spatial determinants of FDI in China has been limited. Furthermore, research on the spatial determinants of home country FDI in China has thus far been neglected due to difficulties in accessing the appropriate data. The objective of this paper is to examine the spatial determinants of Japanese direct investment in China by using an econometric model. To that purpose, a dataset is created from the Toyo Keizai directory on the overseas activities of Japanese companies. The results show that tertiary education, inland waterways, as well as coastal location are positive and significant determinants of Japanese investment in China.     

我国纤维板生产发展概况及产能分布

简述了我国纤维板生产发展状况和生产能力的分布情况。指出自2003年起中国已超过美国成为世界第一大人造板生产国,其中中密纤维板增长速度最快,2007年纤维板总生产线达到598条,生产能力2620万m3,2007年超过100万m3的有山东、广东等10省区。因原料、资金和市场等因素,华东和华南地区纤维板生产发达活跃,人造板工业分布极不均衡形成东强西弱格局。     

产业升级、贸易政策与经济转型

产业升级是经济转型的内驱动力，贸易政策对于产业升级具有制约作用，是经济转型的外驱力量。政府通过设计合理的激励机制，将两种力量聚合，积极推动经济转型，从而缩短经济转型的时间进程。
