The whole world turns more and more on the renewable energies. These occupy an important place in the economic growth and the sustainable development of the country. Morocco which does not make the exception, begins to become aware of these assets, the development of the green energies became its big priority especially that it has geographical and climatic conditions widely favorable.
During the global economic development advancement, technological small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) with the characteristic of high technology content, big growth potential and flexible mechanism have become the power to improve the world economic development and an important index to weight comprehensive national power. As an important carrier of technological innovation, the technological...
Traditional financial theories considered firms' financing strategy only from the perspective of debts' tax shield benefits and their financial distress costs, and overlooked the effects of high debt ratios on firms' sustainable development. High debt ratios not only affects firms' investing behavior and market competition behavior, but also affects the trading behavior of their stakeholders such...
A system dynamics production model illustrates feedbacks between economic growth, resource depletion and environment pollution. The modeling results could offer some advice for sustainable development of JiangXi in China. The core of system dynamics model in this paper is a Cobb-Douglas production function. Six variables are evolved in the production function, which denote Production, Technology,...
Construction of the indicator system is the important prerequisite for evaluation on regional sustainable energy development. This paper initially establishes an integrative regional energy sustainable development indicator system which combines issues such as energy, economics, sustainable energy development evaluation and environment. Then, the ability of energy sustainable development in typical...
This paper developed land sustainable use administration information system-ecological footprint analysis and forecast system, which was based on GIS, integrated by Map basic and VB. First, the thesis put forward a series of conception and principle on ecological footprint analysis, then introduced total design route, system structure and function, finally, the paper concluded the merit and limitation...
Energy tax implementation is critical for the environmental protection and economic sustainable development of China, and the production cost and energy consumption price will accordingly rise as a result of the extra energy tax cost incurring. In this situation, a clean living environment is helped to be established because of the declining social demand for traditional energy and the application...
For the purpose of maintaining a good ecological environment, this paper has analyzed available capacity of water resources and the water demand for human survival and development in the Beibu Gulf Economy Zone (Guangxi, China). The paper has also evaluated the population carrying capacity in the condition of rational and limit states of water exploitation and utilization in different level years...
With the increasing environmental damage and depletion of natural resources, the costs of economic growth in the future would exceed its benefits unless the implementation of innovations. This paper discussed these innovations for counties-the basic unit of national economy. After the introduction of the sustainable status of county economy in China, a case of ZIYUAN County in Guangxi has been analyzed,...
It is considered that construction industrialization is an inevitable trend in China. The experience in the achieved construction industrialization counties indicates that construction industrialization will save construction time, improve building quality, increase labor productivity, save energy and make less pollution. Those advantages change the traditional way into industrialized construction...
Virtual cultivated land refers to the quantity of cultivated land resources needed during the production of goods and service. This paper chose four kinds of main grain products i.e. rice, maize, wheat and soybean, and calculated their trade volume of virtual cultivated land. The result showed, from 1978 to 2007 the average annual net import of virtual cultivated land came to nearly 4.4 million hectares...
At present, economy of Shaanxi Province is an important stage that it moves forward with higher speed. Economic development needs massive energy. A scientific and correct understanding of the regularity during energy consumption and economic growth has great significance of regularity during energy consumption and economic growth has great significance for making plan of energy development, promoting...
From the economic perspective, the major cause of resource exhaustion is the perfect elasticity of substitution of natural and man-made capital theory and positive discount rate policy. Based on the “economic man” hypothesis, this policy implements effective distribution of resource, but it also departs from sustainable development for its ignorance of inter-generation equity. In order to realize...
The present study will examine the possible ways of integrating sustainability indicators in measuring the performance of agriculture. I am examining the appropriate ways of calculating the output of the sector including the damages caused by and the benefits of agricultural production. First, I present the almost 40 years old history of how to integrate the environmental components in the calculation...
This research establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system of economic security of land resource by using Delphi and AHP methods. An empirical analysis of Shanghai China is conducted. The conclusions are as follows. (1)The economic security of land resource is on the level of "basic security" in Shanghai from 1999 to 2006. In 2005 and 2006 the compound evaluation values are 62.9 and...
This paper applies the analytic approach of the ecological footprint to calculate and compare the ecological footprint and the ecological capacity of Fujian province over the period from 1993 to 2002 and Taiwan province over two periods from 1981 to 1990 and from 1993 to 2002. The results indicate that land demand per capita of both Fujian and Taiwan increased year by year while the ecological capacity...
This study aims to investigate the new strategy implement by charactering current urban industrial metabolism and identify the impacts of the mentioned strategy after 4-year implement, as well as give some policy suggestion. Suzhou city, as a major manufacturing center with per capital GDP over 10000 USD was chosen as our case, there were 2 National Circular Economy Pilot Units (Industrial parks)...
North-east China as the nation's manufacturing base relies heavily on energy supply. Index decomposition analysis reveals that energy consumption is determined mainly by production effect, followed by intensity effect and structural effect. Data Envelopment Analysis shows that there is lack of efficiency in production mainly caused by energy waste. In specialty, energy consumption is determined by...
The quantitative measurement of Sustainable Development has become one of the frontiers of the present sustainable development research, whose core is to determine whether mankind survives within the bearing capacity of the ecological system. The article deals in some details with the quantitative measure method (the ecological footprint method) for Sustainable Development established by M. Wackernagel...
It is thought that high interest rate should be carried out by small credit institutions to meet the demand of local farmers and maintain sustainable development. This paper analyses the interest rate elasticity of demand about small credit in the rural area in Guizhou. The result reveals that farmers are sensitive to the interest rate and the high interest rate is not possibly accepted by them. The...
