Yangzhou harbor developmental strategy study based on scenario planning

Based on the introduction of Scenario Planning Theory and the environmental analysis of the Yangzhou Harbor Logistics Park, the development strategy for the Park is discussed. Combining the advantages of the Yangzhou Harbor and Yangzhou Export Processing Zone, a new development pattern is designed. Under this pattern, an interactive integration strategy among Logistics Park, Harbor, Export Processing Zone and Tax Reservation Section is proposed. This strategy is called Radiation Promoting Developmental Strategy.     

Averting the construction skills crisis: a regional approach

The East Midlands construction industry is currently suffering from a severe skills shortage across its craft, professional and managerial occupations. The lack of available capacity within the regional labour market coupled with the poor image of the sector, call into question the industry's ability to cope with the levels of new orders and output growth predicted over the next few years. In this paper, it is argued that the casualised nature of the industry's labour market has rendered national, 'top-down' labour market policy measures ineffective in addressing the industry's skills concerns. This hypothesis has been explored through research that canvassed the opinions of key industry stakeholders as to the actions necessary to avert the region's skills crisis. This was achieved through a series of focus groups and workshops involving over 150 individuals with a vested interest in the region's construction skills situation. The insights emerging from the analysis suggested that bespoke regional and sub-regional labour market policies are required to avert the current skills shortage. The recommendations provided by the participants were used as the basis for a strategic package of measures that are currently being implemented across the region's five counties. This strategy aims to join-up hitherto disparate labour market measures within a single centrally coordinated framework. Nevertheless, overcoming the industry's fragmented structure remains an obstacle to resolving successfully the East Midlands' construction skills shortage.

粤港澳大湾区建设规划推高了珠三角地区房价吗?——基于双重差分方法的经验研究

本文基于双重差分模型,采用2012—2018年中国37个地级市城市(9个珠三角城市加28个其他省大中城市)的面板数据,实证检验了粤港澳大湾区建设规划对珠三角地区房价的影响及其异质性效果,然后运用莫兰指数探究珠三角地区内房价变动是否存在空间效应。结果发现:粤港澳大湾区建设规划对珠三角地区房价存在显著正效应,且对不同人口规模和房价水平城市的房价影响效应存在不平衡性;珠三角地区房地产市场尚不存在明显的空间效应,粤港澳大湾区建设规划的出台在短期内可能会进一步拉开区域内各城市房价水平差距。基于此,珠三角地区在把握粤港澳大湾区建设历史发展机遇的同时,不能忽视房价波动风险,应坚决执行房地产市场调控政策,确保区域协调与高质量发展。
