Yangtze Delta Region

Import is an effective way to absorb technology spillovers. This paper firstly uses cointegration theory to analyze the technology spillover effect of import in the Yangtze Delta Region. The results show that import plays an important role in technological progress in the Yangtze Delta Region. Finally, this paper points out the policy implications of the above findings.

Positive Effect

Traditionally, in the pursuit of economic development, ecological health was sacrificed, but this is no longer tenable considering the vast environmental damage that is difficult to control and expensive to repair. This is especially true for China’s Jianghuai River Basin (JRB). As a result, this paper uses the slacks-based measure (SBM) directional distance function and the tobit model on panel data from various cities and counties in the Jiangsu section of the HRB to empirically analyze regional green agricultural production efficiency and influencing factors from 2005 to 2019. The results illustrate that agricultural and environmental efficiency fluctuate upward in provincial areas. Still, a downward trend is observed in both redundancy and insufficiency rates of undesirable and desirable output. While this indicates improving regional agricultural and environmental efficiency, there is no readily detectable positive effect of technological progress and technical efficiency on green agricultural production efficiency improvements. Following a full analysis, policy implications are presented and discussed.

Dimensions Of Technology

The raging debate between green growth and degrowth continues. Technology is a focal point in this debate as the advocates of green growth and degrowth have contradictory views on the roles and impacts of technology on environment and society. Green growth advocates believe that technology can allow indefinite growth while simultaneously ensuring environmental and societal sustainability, whereas the degrowth advocates argue that technological progress cannot allow indefinite growth. These views are largely opinion based rather than informed by objective and systematic analyses because comprehensive tools to evaluate the roles and impacts of technology on environment and society do not yet exist. This paper develops a much-needed framework to comprehensively evaluate the roles of technology on environment and society by analysing the interactions among the dimensions of technology, environment, economy and society. Key parameters that characterise technology are proposed for its evaluation and the policy implications of technological evaluations are examined. Finally, potential future research directions are explored. The technological evaluation approach proposed in this paper has a potential to significantly advance the green growth versus degrowth debate.

Investment Behaviour

Study of the investment behaviour of a tenure-holding forestry firm in Canada has policy implications and is, therefore, important. Investment by a firm in establishing a plant was analyzed in an earlier issue (June 1986) of this journal. In this paper, the firm's investment in the management of Crown forest lands is investigated. The impacts of tenure conditions, taxation, and technological progress have been analyzed. Tenure insecurity has been found to be only partly responsible for a firm's less than enthusiastic behaviour regarding investment in forest management. Long rotation is by far the single most important factor inhibiting expenditure on forest management inputs. A judicious mixture of tenure and taxation regulations can be used as a policy instrument for encouraging intensive forest management. Anticipation of even very modest secular increases in profits due to technological progress can make intensive forestry a desirable economic activity.
