Modeling Energy and Development: An Evaluation of Models and Concepts

Most global energy models are developed by institutes from developed countries, focusing primarily on issues that are important in industrialized countries. Evaluation of the results for Asia of the IPCC/SRES models shows that broad concepts of energy and development, the energy ladder and the environmental Kuznets curve, can be observed in the results of the models. However, improvements can be made in modeling the issues that underlie these concepts, like traditional fuels, electrification, economic structural change, income distribution, and informal economies. Given the rapidly growing importance of energy trajectories of developing countries for global sustainability, the challenge for the future is to develop energy models that include all these aspects of energy and development.

新自由主义范式对转型国家的危害及反思

20世纪90年代,新自由主义成为主导前苏东国家经济转型的战略,并引发了严重的转型危机,而当前源于美国并席卷全球的经济危机再次给转型国家造成严重冲击。危机的爆发集中体现出新自由主义这种极端私有化、绝对自由化的转型战略的内在弊端,它所造就的畸形经济体制在市场秩序、产权制度、金融体制、经济结构、发展模式及政府治理等方面存在着严重不稳定性、脆弱性和无效性,从而成为导致危机加剧的深层制度根源。经历危机洗礼后,转型国家势必要对指导本国转型的新自由主义范式做出重大调整,探寻到一条超越新自由主义的有效转型与发展道路。     

Regulating Supply Side Corruption

Abstract

Doing corruption-free business in developing countries is not easy. Government officials and politicians in developing countries demand monetary gains from multinational companies interested in seeking business deals in their nations. Multinational firms are willing to oblige them since they need the business in developing countries. Such unsavory business practices are extremely difficult to change. However, today more and more countries are concerned about corruption and are trying to combat it. Sociologists, political scientists, and economists have advanced various methods to combat corruption. Mainly, these methods are geared toward reducing the demand for corrupt practices. This paper using the case of the Republic of Kazakhstan suggests controlling the supply of corruption.
