我国沿海地区“民工荒”的成因及对策

影响沿海地区劳动力市场供给变化的因素有:沿海地区制造业向中西部地区转移情况、沿海地区农民工与中西部地区农民工的工资差距、在家从事农业或副业的农民收入情况、农民工对于未来的期望、沿海省市的生活成本;影响沿海地区的劳动力市场需求变化的因素有:企业产品的市场是国外还是国内、企业产品的出口情况、沿海地区企业转移到中西部地区的成本。本文从以上两方面分析了近年来我国沿海地区的"民工荒"现象,并从提高工资、减少劳动力的需求和增加劳动力的供给等方面提出相应的对策。

Analysis of nutrient content and assessment of economic value for major salt-tolerant plants in coastal areas: a case study of Dongying City,Shandong Province

Salinization of soil is a worldwide problem concerning resources and ecology,especially serious in coastal areas.Testing of 26 sorts of data or parameters are carried out on leaves of 22 plant species (in 24 plant variety) of existing main salt-tolerant plant of the Yellow River Delta region.Data or parameters include the following elements:contents of K+,Na+,Ca2+,Mg2+ and Cl-,contents of protein,fat,total energy,ash and contents of 17 amino acids.The results show that these tested plants have economic values.For example,according to their uses,they can be divided into edible plants,forage plants,medicine or health plants,and some of them can be used for multipurposes.These plants have played important roles in the sustainable utilization of plant resources in coastal areas.This paper has taken evaluations on the economic uses of salt-tolerant plants and given suggestions for saline soil improvement and resource utilization in coastal areas.Based on the results of investigation and experiments,we suppose that the salt-tolerant plants in coastal areas can be grouped into 9 main groups according to their eeonomic value:pioneer plants for saline land improvement,medicine,edible and forage plants,industry material forestation,breeding material,energy plants and eco-tourism resources.     

Cleaning up the air for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games: Empirical study on China's thermal power sector

This study examines the impact of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games (BOG08) on pollution control strategies in the thermal power sector. We focus on two pollution control strategies: the installation of pollution control equipment and improvement in energy efficiency. By using a difference-in-differences methodology, we investigate if there is a significant difference in the installation of pollution control equipment between provinces under the regional control policy for the BOG08 and other provinces. Furthermore, by using matching methods, we explore the differences in the energy efficiency between power plants in provinces targeted by the policy and those in other provinces. The results suggest that there are no statistically significant effects of the BOG08 on pollution control equipment. On the other hand, energy efficiency measured by the coal consumption per unit of electricity generation by thermal power plants improved in 2007 and 2008 in provinces designated as areas requiring coordinated air pollution control for the Olympic Games. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that faster and cheaper responses played a larger role in pollution reduction in BOG08.     

HABITAT–FISHERY LINKAGES AND MANGROVE LOSS IN THAILAND

The article develops a dynamic model of habitat–fishery linkage in which the habitat is being converted. The basic model is applied to a case study of the impacts of mangrove deforestation on the artisanal marine demersal and shellfish fisheries in Thailand. The comparative static effects of a change in mangrove area on the long-run equilibrium level of effort and fish stocks, as well as on the resulting market harvesting supply of the fishery, are determined. By estimating parameters through pooled timE-series and cross-sectional data over the 1983–96 period for the five coastal zones along the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea, the welfare impacts of mangrove deforestation are estimated. Mangrove conversion is expected to be a function of the return to shrimp farming and the input costs to farming shrimp, plus exogenous economic factors. The resulting aggregate reduced-form level of mangrove clearing by all farmers in coastal areas is empirically estimated across the five coastal zones in Thailand over 1983–96. The policy implications of the findings are discussed with respect to Thailand and the modeling of habitat–fishery linkages.     

Detecting multiple factors in panel data: an application on the growth of local regions in China

Due to unbalanced growth in China’s local regions, we construct a panel data model with multiple common factors to examine the differences among the growth factors in these areas. This article shows the various impacts from the supply and demand sides on economic growth. Different from the demand side, the supply-side impacts have permanent influences. This article focuses on these deep and profound impacts to explain the reasons behind China’s fast economic growing. By using data on 27 regions from 1958 to 2013, we summarize the main permanent influences along three lines. The first comes from the coastal regions, which have learned modern technology and systems from foreign companies, such as in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian and Liaoning. The second comes from big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, in which a huge migration has given the companies opportunities to recruit excellent workers, making the resource allocation specialized and more efficient. The third is from the government’s major public works, which have improved areas’ infrastructure and assisted long-run economic growth, such as for Sichuan, Guangxi and Yunnan.     

资源约束与地区经济收敛——基于资源稀缺性与资源配置力的考察

本文从资源稀缺性出发,提出并运用资源配置力这一新的分析工具,对2003年以来中国所面临的经济增长、资源约束与区域经济变动状况作了分析。结果表明,市场供求关系变化导致资源稀缺的结构性变迁与地域性转移,使地区资源配置力与经济竞争力发展相应变动。东部沿海能源与矿产等资源短缺地区备受资源约束递增的压力;中西部尤其是能源与矿产等资源富集地区资源配置力与经济竞争力明显递增,从而出现地区经济收敛趋势。

Economic costs and impacts of climate-induced sea-level rise and storm surge in Canadian coastal provinces: a CGE approach

We estimated the economic costs and impacts of future sea-level rise (SLR) and storm surge due to climate change in Canada’s coastal provinces using regional, dynamic computable general equilibrium models that track provincial welfare, GDP, trade, prices and inputs over the 2009–2054 period. We also assessed the economic costs of coastal adaptation investments, to determine whether such investments can be justified on economic grounds. Results indicated that SLR and storm surge could cost Canada in the range of $4.6–$25.5 billion in present value welfare, and between $53.7 and $108.7 billion in present value GDP. We found significant variation in costs and impacts across coastal provinces, with some provinces such as Newfoundland and Labrador experiencing only marginal costs/impacts, and others such as British Columbia experiencing costs as high as $21 billion in welfare over the period. Coastal adaptation investments were supported on economics grounds. Overall, this study provides the first (and preliminary) provincial economic impact estimates of climate-induced SLR and storm surge, as well as adaptation investments, in Canada. Additional research is needed to refine the analysis in order to produce reliable estimates that can be used to guide coastal adaptation policies in Canada.     

CARBON REDUCTION COSTS IN NEW ENGLAND'S POWER SECTOR

This paper examines the cost of reducing carbon emissions in New England's power sector. The analysis relies on detailed sectoral studies of costs and resource potentials for demand-side efficiency, cogeneration, renewables, and conventional resource options. Sectoral studies' results were integrated using a production-cost model to estimate the total cost and rate impacts of carbon reduction strategies relative to a business-as-usual forecast. To capture potential uncertainties, the analysis takes into account variations in capital costs, fuel prices, resource utilization levels, and base case retirements of existing power plants. Results show that New England's power sector can freeze carbon emissions at current levels or reduce carbon emissions while simultaneously decreasing customers' total electricity bills.     

太原大都市区城市化特征,问题与对策

大都市区的形成与发展是现代城市化进程的一个重要特征。近年来,有关我国沿海发达地区大都市区的实证研究成果较多。本以内陆资源型省区中心城市太原市为案例,通过与发达地区都市区发展的比较来揭示其发育特征。结果表明：太原大都市区发育尚处于初期阶段,无论人口、经济集聚水平还是城市化进程与我国发达地区同类城市都市区相比仍有较大差距。其滞后的原因在于中心城市产业结构转换滞缓,扩散力弱;城市资本集聚有效发挥等方面
