Under the support of Multi-Regional Input–Output (MRIO) analysis, this study constructs the Embodied Carbon Emission Transfer Network (ECETN) using the input–output tables of 42 sectors in 31 provinces of China in 2012, 2015, and 2017 and...
The national census data during 1995 and 2000 and during 2005 and 2010 are selected in this paper to make an analysis of the spatio-temporal characteristics of the inter-provincial population migration in China. In addition, the general regression mo...
Inter-provincial migration causes dramatic changes in the population, as well as in the development of the social economy at both origin and destination, which is related to sustainable development in any country. Using inter-provincial migration dat...
The low-carbon development of the transportation sector is crucial for China to achieve its national goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Since China is a vast country with unbalanced regional development, there are considerable differences...
The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted an enormous impact on the Indonesian economy. In 2020, the country’s economy contracted by 2.7%. However, the impact has been spatially heterogeneous. Based on provincial GDP across industrial sectors, this stu...
As China’s economy accelerates its transition toward high-quality development, various regions are actively tapping into their distinctive resources to unlock economic potential and exploring pathways to achieve high-quality collaborative devel...
Electronic information manufacturing industry is the pillar industry of China’s economic development. It is of great significance to promote the optimal allocation of national resources and to realize the sustainable development of regional eco...
With the vigorous promotion in China of efforts to reduce pollution and carbon emissions, examining their synergies becomes increasingly crucial. This study used the multi-regional input–output (MRIO) table to build the consumption-based indust...
Currently, household carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (HCEs) as one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) have drawn notable scholarly concern. Thus, here, taking six provinces in the period of 2000–2017 of Central China as a case, we analyzed...
Facing price volatility risks and multi-agent strategic interactions in two-level electricity markets, this paper proposes a bi-level decision framework integrating Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) and Mean Field Game (MFG). The upper level minimizes...
China has been the largest carbon emitter in the world since 2007 and is thus confronted with huge emission reduction pressures. The regional differences in socio-economic development lead to complex inter-provincial carbon transfer in China, which h...
In China, environmental pollution responsibilities are divided according to administrative regions. However, because of the strong externality of environmental pollution, the movement of environmental pollution undoubtedly increases the complexity of...
