Open data portals have been a primary source for publishing datasets from various sectors of administration, all over the world. However, making open data available does not necessarily lead to better utilisation from citizens and businesses. Our paper presents a new framework and a prototype system for supporting open application development by citizen communities, through gathering and making available...
In order to make the government guidance of the production and marketing docking of agriculture market more effective, an evaluation system of the production and marketing docking should be built by employing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In this paper, three primary indexes and eleven secondary indicators was selected to build the evaluation system based on the weighted average method. In the...
This work in progress paper describes a mixed methods study designed to investigate transfer student pathways as a means to increase engineering degree production and broaden participation in engineering careers. The study explores the framework of transfer student capital and its relevance for engineering transfer students. In this paper, we provide an overview of a survey instrument developed to...
Bangladesh is said to be one of the biggest energy starved countries, with the present demand for electricity at 9000 plus MW (Mega Watt) as opposed to the production of 6500 to 7500 MW. Access to electricity in Bangladesh is one of the lowest, about 40 percent of the total population are without access to adequate, cheap and quality energy. At present, we have to depend on indigenous energy resources,...
The South Africa transport sector is a major user of energy, in particular liquid fossil fuels that contribute to Green House Gas emissions. South Africa is committed to developing a Green Economy, but South Africa has significant challenges that will need to be overcome to realise Green Economy development opportunities. Population growth, and the rapid urbanisation and development, has resulted...
Urban infrastructure construction can promote the development of the national economy and society. The performance evaluation of urban infrastructure investment reflects the relationship between input and output, and it is an important index to measure the effect of operation. Therefore, it is necessary to study the evaluation index system and method of urban infrastructure investment performance...
We investigate the duopoly producing strategy under carbon emissions including the carbon emissions tax, mandatory carbon emissions capacity and cap-and-trade. We use the game theory to analyze the duopoly manufactories production quantity strategies. Result shows, under each policy, we can find the Nash Equilibrium of two firms' optimal production quantity and expected profit. Specifically, we derive...
At present, energy exhaustion and environment pollution has attracted more and more attention, which given birth to the new energy automobiles. However, as the emerging industry oriented to energy conservation and emissions reduction, new energy automobile industry encounters obstruction from technology input and externality of economy in the industry development and marketization. The immature technology...
We consider the pricing problem between two competing firms who produce differentiated products under carbon tax policy and asymmetric information about carbon emissions intensity. We analyze the impact of carbon tax and information asymmetry on the firms' competitive decisions and obtain several interesting managerial insights. We find that the carbon tax has a more significant effect on the firm...
Today's Internet is enormously lacking Arabic language content. Although Internet users from the Arab world are increasing rapidly, the digital Arabic content still lacks serious research and development plans. In this paper, we present the main challenges facing the digital Arabic content industry and opportunities for developing the presence of Arabic language on the web at both individual and governmental...
This paper develops a Schumpeterian R&D growth model with endogenous directed technological change. The aim is to study the contributions of environmental policies to the production of ecological goods, when consumers are indifferent between ecological and dirty goods. By solving the transitional dynamics numerically and by removing the scale effects, it is shown that, through the price channel,...
Russia leads the list of countries in which most flaring occurs, with an estimated 15–37 BMC of associated petroleum gas (APG) being burned in Siberian oil fields annually. In view of the environmental impact of flaring and ineffective use of energy resource, fees for flaring are being increased from 2012. Significantly increased fines pose a challenge for oil producers, which have focused only on...
This paper presents the efforts taken to have sustainable human capital development for the automotive industry in Malaysia by Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI). The efforts must be driven by industry and it should consider the technology trends, market demand and government policy. MAI as a focal point for the automotive industry should create a platform for educators and industry players to come...
There is consensus that urbanization contains great potential in domestic demand in China, especially for policy-makers. China's urbanization rate reached to 51.3% in 2011 and urban population outnumbered rural population for the first time. But there is still a long way to go when compared with developed countries. What impact will have on electricity demand in the process of rapid advance of urbanization?...
The interest in renewable resources has seen a focus on the production of biodiesel in South Africa as an alternative source of energy. While this sector show huge potential for economic growth, employment creation and the production of alternative energy, the sector is faced with many challenges. Looking at the case study of the Western Cape biodiesel plants, the paper discusses challenges faced...
This paper presents a stylized framework for analyzing the design of government incentives for public interest goods (goods with externalities, such as electric vehicles.) We extend the newsvendor model with pricing to account for the consumption externality inherent in public interest goods and analyze the governments ability to coordinate their pricing and supply through the use of rebates and subsidies...
This paper presents an effective framework for market monitoring, supervision and price management in developing countries using Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This research also illustrates the possible ways to handle the price hike and also derives solutions to resist unethical and ill-motivated hoarding by integrating ICT. In this paper, we have presented an overview on the application...

Ongoing energy crisis has marked itself to be one of the most difficult challenges and the most common problems. The motivation behind this study is to break down the way of this crisis and to propose some fleeting and additionally long haul answers for this issue. This research study is related to the up gradation of existing resources, technologies and infrastructures of energy. All the available...
This paper evaluates the productivity of worldwide countries for developing solar electricity market by addressing the following questions: (1) to what extent should governments further decrease their supports while maintaining the electricity utilization at the current level? And (2) to what extent should governments increase the production of solar electricity generation and decrease the emission...
