Since 2014, China's National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Finance have been promoting the Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) mode. Value-For-Money (VFM) assessment is one of the indispensable assessment in the PPP project operation process, which provide powerful guidelines for the project decision through the quantitative or qualitative analysis. However, the period of China...
This paper discusses the interpretation for the Theil index, and takes the length of highways as prior probability, reveals the tendency and composition of domestic tourism in China from 2006 to 2014. Based on the results, the construction of transportation infrastructure in Western China is emphasized.
Monthly methane concentration (CH4) level over Zoige alpine wetland, China from October of 2002 to December of 2006 was analyzed based on the SCIAMACHY data. The level was low and might decrease from January to March then increase until August (except for 2006), and then decreased until fall or early winter. The linkage of the CH4, air temperature, precipitation, and soil temperature and moisture...
China's Grain for Green Programme (GGP) is the largest ecological restoration programme ever implemented in a developing country, but the ecological effectiveness in its whole implementation region still remain uncertain. Based on the trend analysis of dynamics in ecosystem structure and service, we assessed the ecological effects before and after the implementation of the GGP in 1990–2010 by developing...
There are many similarities on fluctuations between clothing styles and finance so that many theorists approach to analyze the relationship of them, the best known of which is the Hemline Index Theory. When the economy is flourishing, hemlines increase, and when the economic situation is deteriorating, the hemlines drop, perhaps even to the floor. In contrast with measuring the illustrations from...
In this study, we present a detailed inter-annual analysis of four remotely sensed leaf area index (LAI) products: GLASS, GLOBALBNU, GLOBMAP, and MODIS LAI, and conduct correlation analysis between LAI and three meteorological variables over China. The results manifest that the four products agree well in most of northern regions of China, with higher correlation coefficient and the same response...
In this paper, we examine the degree of spatial focusing of the inter-provincial migration in China by using the Gini index. Based on the data from the 2000 and 2010 censuses in China, we analyze the changes of spatial focusing of inter-provincial migration flows between 2000 and 2010. The results indicate that, firstly, the spatial distribution of inter-provincial migration flows in China is highly...
With the degeneration of environment and acceleration of urbanization, urban human settlement environment has been in rapid change and attracted great attentions worldwide. Meanwhile the Quantitative evolution on the natural suitability of urban human settlement environment (NSUHSE) is essential for a better and powerful understanding of the urbanization process, such as the direction and pace of...
The consecutive growth in China's grain output over the past decade has partly depended on the expansion in grain sown area. The paper examines spatiotemporal patterns of China's grain sown area by using a complete decomposition approach. The results show that changing grain sown area during 1978–2012 is the product of augmenting multiple cropping index (MCI), shrinking share of grain crops and loss...
The proportions of competition and integration between China and ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries are different in different periods. This paper calculated the recent proportions of competition and integration by using export similarity, trade integration index, and regular market share model. The study found competition declined and integration increased, because of the growth...
The Chinese economy has been steadily growing since 1978. During most of the period energy intensity fell. Between 2002 and 2005 however energy intensity increased. In this paper we seek an answer for the overall decrease in energy intensity and temporary increase between 2002 and 2005. Index decomposition analysis is used to decompose energy intensity changes between 2000 and 2009 into three factors:...
In this paper, an evaluation index system of science and technology (S&T) innovative capacity is designed, using the AHP method for weight assignment. The raw data of these third-order indexes is obtained from “Compilation of Science and Technology Statistical Information in Colleges and Universities”. Taking 31 provinces as samples, an evaluation on S&T innovative capacity of universities...
This research adopts empirical approach to investigate structure features of employees' silence in interests' expressions (ESIE) and its coping styles. The result shows that in organizations, the interests of employees are related to four aspects: survival, development, relationship, and the interest of value inclination; the ESIE mainly are negative cognition; the ESIE includes: cognitive silence,...
The spatial pattern of economic zones is changing ceaselessly during the process of its natural, historical and objective evolution. In China, the scientific division and function of economic zones in the new period expedite the regional harmonious development and the building of a well-off society. With the support of geographical information technology, 16 regional central cities and 21 sub-central...
The logistics industry has played a more and more important role in the modern economic development. This paper analyzed the input-output relation on modern logistics industry and the other industries with Chinese input and output data, and calculated the effect coefficient, sensitivity of dispersion coefficient, production spread effect and price spread effect of logistics industry to the other industries...
It is unusual inadequate precipitation that is the main factor leading to agriculture drought. The degree of precipitation deficit, the occurrence frequency and the duration are the main aspects for the quantitative calculation of drought hazard. China is a vast country with the complex and various types of landforms, and is affected by the significant monsoon climate, as result the farming activities...
The inharmonious development of agricultural modernization and regional economy is a major reason to the imbalanced development of regional economy in China. The evaluation index system of modern agriculture is established according to the relevant data from Chinese Agriculture Yearbook 2009, China Rural Statistical Yearbook and China Statistical Yearbook. Using the Grey Relation Analysis, the developmental...
During the past two decades, Chinese clothing industry has made remarkable progress in production and export. China has become the world's largest clothing producer and exporter. However, it still falls behind traditionally strong competitors like Italia in term of quality and unit price. Based on industry research on international competitiveness, this paper first constructs an evaluation index system...
Along with the development of economic globalization, trade between the countries all over the world is increasingly close. As international trade bridge, transportation service trade plays a more and more important role in the service trade. In this paper, we use international market share, RCA index, TC index to do empirical analysis. Thereby we compared the two countries, China and Japan, transportation...
With the emergy balance law as theoretical support, the basic principle to guide synergetic utilization of agricultural land with the emergy balance law is expounded by defining the basic connotations of that theory, and emergy indexes of Chinese agricultural land system are established; the synergetic degrees of China's agricultural land system in the past 10 years are judged so as to form a new...
