This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental problems, as far as they raise economic questions, even conflicting with pre-ecology economics, can be tackled in different ways. The way chosen by Bernard Coupe was not the French 'voie royale', -a Louis-XIV equivalent of a speedway - but the narrow path, con sisting in carefully implementing a simple but valid model. This model is amenable to many extensions, but it reveals the core of some economic-ecological problems: the search for acceptable solutions when one is confronted with a set of rather narrow constraints. A not uninteresting finding is that 'full-employment' solutions do seem to exist, though leading to different uses of the product made available. How such solutions are to be politically implemented is then a further stage of the reasoning, not taken up in this book. We spent, Bernard and I, many a well-filled hour in discussing the technicalities of the exercise: the consumption and investment functions, with their estimation problems, the treatment of the transportation sector, problems in geometric programming, et de quibusdam aliis. Especially when prefacing the final product, one is particularly pleased to be able to evoke the times past, but well spent. Bernard Coupe will certainly in the course of his development work in Africa, use the spirit and techniques of this approach. We can expect in the future some good reporting on this facet of his work too.

Book Synopsis Environmental Amenities and Regional Economic Development by : Todd L. Cherry
Download or read book Environmental Amenities and Regional Economic Development written by Todd L. Cherry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 527 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic development and the environment are presumed to be in conflict, but the latter part of the twentieth century experienced a series of economic changes that increasingly questioned this view. Economic activity became more footloose and the ability to attract productive labor became a prominent regional development concern. Consequently, environmental amenities began to have a larger role in determining the patterns of regional growth and development, and subsequently moved to the forefront of current regional economic development thought and practice. Environmental amenities provide non-pecuniary benefits to area residents, and induce in-migration flows to regions that possess high levels of environmental amenities. The attraction is particularly strong for those individuals with higher incomes and wealth. The combined forces of increased demand for environmental amenities and increased spatial flexibility of production has brought environmental amenities to the forefront of current regional economic development thought and practice. Regional economic development policy needs to consider the tradeoffs of attracting firms or people, which requires an understanding of the role the environment plays directly or indirectly in attracting firms and households. This book presents key papers that explore the role of the natural environment in regional economic development. The papers contain critical insights and information for both researchers and practitioners interested in the nexus between environmental amenities and regional economic growth and development. The book covers varied dimensions of this issue, including: the relative importance of amenities in recent variation in regional growth; the role of local infrastructure in promoting amenity-led development; socio-economic distribution concerns and sustainability of amenity-based growth; and the effects of local environmentally protected areas on other economic activities. This book will be of most value to practitioners and academics, specifically related to the areas of environmental economics, regional economic development, local and regional planning, public administration and public policy.

While China was becoming the world''s second largest economy, behind only to the United States, anxieties on the Sino environmental condition grew perhaps just as much as its gross domestic product. The purpose of this research is to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between China''s political and economic transformations and the country''s evolving environmental quality. This study first isolates and determines the ecological consequences attached to China''s political regionalization. In doing so, it primarily looks at environmental protection investments at the provincial level as an indicator for regional environmental quality. Results show that under China''s federalized circumstances the proportional size of total public budgetary expenditures (TBEs) allocated to environmental protection investments (EPIs) is negatively associated to a province''s wealth. However, EPIs/TBEs ratios are nonetheless found to be inter-regionally converging for period between 2007 and 2013. This study then additionally analyzes the effect of in-budget provincial deficits as to explore what can influence the size of the budgetary pie conferred to EPIs. The outcome of the Tobit regression model reveals that an increase of 1% in the region''s in-budget deficit against the provincial GDP is significantly correlated to a 2.75% decrease in the proportional share of EPIs in the TBEs. In a second instance, this research assesses the environmental impacts related to the penetration of market-oriented features into China''s regional economic structures. In making such endeavor possible, the levels of regional marketization, as provided by the indexes of the NERI Annual Provincial Marketization Reports, are set against provincial figures for air, water and land pollution. First discovered is the negative spatial-temporal correspondence between levels of marketization and pollution intensities, whereby provinces with higher marketization rates have mostly sustained lower environmental pollution emissions in GDP terms. This association is further statistically tested through a panel data fixed effect analysis. The results show that regional marketization levels have an "L-shaped" curve effect on pollutant intensities for Sulfur Dioxide, chemical oxygen demand and industrial solid waste disposals. The findings of this study converge towards two major sets of implications. With respect to the regionalization, this work highlights that the fiscal prerogatives which accompanied China''s political transformation have indeed fertilized the grounds for the "growth first and treat pollution later" developmental trap. Yet, it specifies in that sense that a province''s environmental behavior still largely varies based on the quality of its fiscal management. From the marketization perspective, this study supports that there is in China an underlying complementarity between economic decentralization and environmental quality. Market penetration walks alongside changes in the economic arrangement, which in turn, alters the impact of regional productive activities on the environment. As marketization is most advanced in costal China, larger cuts in the pollution intensities were historically seen in those areas. It is therefore implied that the greatest environmental gains from marketizatio

Download or read book Urban, Regional and National Planning (UNRENAP) written by T. Hasegawa and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban, Regional and National Planning (UNRENAP): Environmental Aspects contains the proceedings of a Workshop on Urban, Regional and National Planning held in Kyoto, Japan, on August 5-6, 1977 under the auspices of the International Federation of Automatic Control. The workshop provided an opportunity to address the environmental aspects of urban, regional, and national planning. The discussions are organized around the themes of modeling, evaluation, simulation, and optimization. Comprised of 34 chapters, this book begins by outlining an alternative approach to environmental modeling in which comprehensive models are replaced by a network of simpler models, focused on specific aspects of the reality and sponsored by corresponding decision-making organizations. The reader is then introduced to some socio-economic aspects of health care planning; structural modeling in a class of systems by fuzzy sets theory; and the role of legal measures in the orientation of urban growth. Subsequent chapters deal with the use of Environmental Assessment Scale as a technique for environmental evaluation; computer simulation of economy management systems; and optimal control models of regional economies. A model for pollution reduction and control is also described. This monograph will be of interest to urban planners and environmental policymakers.

Book Synopsis Regional Opportunities for Sustainable Development by : H.J. de Graaf
Download or read book Regional Opportunities for Sustainable Development written by H.J. de Graaf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By their adoption of Agenda 21, most of the world's governments have acknowledged the need for sustainable development. This implies that new policies are needed, focusing on economic, social, cultural and ecological goals. At the same time, we also need to solve existing environmental and social problems, and prevent the occurrence of new ones. This volume presents, tests and illustrates a theoretically well-founded procedure for discovering regional opportunities for sustainable development, based on a systems approach to decision making. The procedure takes as its starting point the needs of the people involved, relating these to the measurement of available resources in order to find opportunities for multiple resource use and sustainable development. The needs of future generations and broader communities are taken into account throughout. The book studies regional planning and the implementation of plans, offering guidance and support to parties involved in debates on sustainable development, and improving the quality of their decision making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zusammenfassung: This book describes the progress and prominent theories of regional development research in the past decades, especially in the past decade, discusses the industrial structure, spatial structure, resources, and environment, as well as a series of practical issues, and reveals the general characteristics of spatial structure evolution in the process of regional development. The research on the issues of regional development has become the frontier of relevant disciplines since the 1950s, and much progress has been made in the process of solving practical problems in social and economic development. This book provides an in-depth and systematic demonstration of the "point-axis system" theory of regional exploitation and development as well as the T-shaped structure of China's regional economic action in theory and practice and discusses the impact of location differential rent, restricted accessibility, technological innovation, etc., on regional development theoretically. This book is used as a reference for planning, scientific research, and teaching personnel in territorial expansion, regional economy, human geography, etc
Book Synopsis Principles of Regional Science by : Zheng Wang
Download or read book Principles of Regional Science written by Zheng Wang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the research findings in regarding a region as a rational and abstract concept and explores the principles of regional science. Focusing on location theory, spatial dynamics and regional evolution theory, it stresses that the region as a scientific concept is an essential abstract of an economic entity of a place. While it introduces a number of case studies, the content is general and universal rather than specific. Beginning with location theory – the basis of regional science – it explains how regions breed their own characteristics as economic entities against a background of place. For example, it discusses the location theory of the tourism industry and analyzes issues of facility location and R&D-industry location theory. The second part of the book addresses interactions with the spatial dynamics, including the dynamic mechanism of regions against a background of space. Spatial dynamics, which includes concepts from statistical physics, provides insights into the dynamic mechanism of aggregation, diffusion, and industrial clustering in regional science as well as in geography and economics. The book then describes regional dynamics as a development of spatial dynamics: REGION is completely independent as a research object and is no longer part of spatial dynamics. This book also discusses in detail regions as the dynamic characteristics of the economy or the basic characteristics of a certain place and examines the theory of regional evolution. It argues that regions are evolution and irreversible features of development with path dependence, which are the characteristics of a region that differ from general economic phenomena. This book by Professor Zheng Wang is outstanding. Its focus on Regional Science will open this area up to a wide variety of theoretical and applied researchers. I recommend the work without reservations. It covers critically important principles in the field and should be read and used by students, faculty and applied researchers doing policy analysis. I can see this as an important handbook and reference work as well as a textbook in the field. Kingsley Haynes
Book Synopsis Integrated Regional Models by : Peter Groffman
Download or read book Integrated Regional Models written by Peter Groffman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated regional models are conceptual and mathematical models that describe the physical environment, biological interactions, human decision-making, and human impact on the environment. Efforts are now being made to integrate regional models from the physical, biological and social sciences in order to respond to diverse environmental problems. This volume explores the latest research developments on processes operating at a variety of scales, including regions, and how scientists can combine their efforts to develop models linking biological, physical, and human systems. Data requirements for successful integrated regional models are identified and discussed. Chapters also consider methodological questions, such as whether to integrate disciplinary approaches at the beginning or the end of the modelling process, and whether integrated regional models should focus on specific regions or specific problems. The information in this volume will enable the reader to view problems such as coastal zone management, atmospheric pollution, non-point source pollution, commodity production in forested areas, and urban expansion in a broad, conceptual context. Researchers and graduate students in ecology, biology, geography and geology will benefit from this innovative approach to contemporary environmental problems.
