Industrial Location and Vitalization of Regional Economy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: A model of competition between a large-scale dominant firm and fringe firms is analyzed to examine the effect of market share regulation on the dominant firm to protect the small firms. One feature of the model is that the dominant firm and the small firms provide close but different services to consumers. Because business stealing effects are possible for both the dominant firm’s and small firms’ entries, the effect on social welfare is generally indefinite. When small firms face the danger of extinction because of the expansion of the dominant firm, it is demonstrated that the effect is evaluated solely by the excessiveness of the number of small firms. As small firms tend to enter excessively when there is spatial competition, the market share regulation on the dominant firm prevents efficient outcome unless small firms are eliminated. In most regional retail markets in Japan, small ordinary stores are far from total elimination, so a restriction on the expansion of large-scale stores is not needed.
China’s Food Security - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Our planet was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, while human beings evolved 2 or 3 million years ago, and the history of growing grain began more than 10,000 years ago. Following the agricultural and indus- trial civilizations, we are currently in the age of information civilization. Humans have landed on the moon, soared freely in space, but yet to get rid of hunger! Human history has witnessed several wars over food and land. Many nations prospered because of food, but many regimes perished because of food shortages. Being a primary human need, food has always been an influential factor for the survival and health of human beings, and a prerequisite for peace and stability of the world. Based on our history and experience, food is essential to human beings, to economic devel- opment, to social stability, and to national autonomy. Food is also a bargaining chip for diplomatic negotiations and a tool for international competition
China’s 40 Years of Reform - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The year 2018 was nothing but exceptional because domestically, it coincided with the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening-up, which started in 1978, and the 120th anniversary of the Hundred Days of Reform of 1898, and globally, it coincided with the 170th anniversary of the publication of the Communist Manifesto in 1848 and the 200th anniversary of Karl Marx’s birth in 1818. To look back at the past 40 years of reform and opening-up and look forward to the future when China’s Two Centenary Goals will be achieved, the country should see the reform and opening-up from the perspective of history and global affairs, which corresponds with President Xi Jinping’s speech commemorating the anniversary of Marx’s birth on May 4, 2018: “It is only by considering the long course of human history that we can gain a perspective on the essence of historical movements and the direction of contemporary developments.” Xi Jinping stated that through reform and opening-up, “Chinese Communists have been merging the tenets of Marxism with the practical realities of the reform and opening-up. Chinese Communists brought the people together in developing the great new endeavor of socialism with Chinese characteristics, enabling China to take big strides to catch up with the times. Thus, they brought about the tremendous transfor- mation of China: from having gained independence to becoming wealthy.” Indeed, the only viable way to understand the relevance of China’s reform and opening-up is to understand what the phrases “the practical realities” in China and “to take big strides to catch up with the times” mean. China’s 40 years of reform and opening-up is a process from gaining independence to becoming prosperous. In history, however, prior to gaining independence, China “woke up”; after “becoming prosperous”, China will become powerful. We may say that the process of China’s reform is a process from waking up, gaining independence, to becoming prosperous and becoming powerful. The significance of such a process is obvious only when seen from a global perspective
Public Procurement in Chinese Law and Practice - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: There have been many types of governments in history and society. From the perspec- tive of market economy alone, there are also many types. So far, there have been four types of market economy in human society, namely free market economy, market economy with government intervention, market economy in welfare states, and socialist market economy, and their corresponding types of government are inaction-oriented government, management-oriented government, welfare-oriented government, ruling-oriented government, and service-oriented government. The inaction-oriented government emphasizes that the government is only a “night watchman”; the management-oriented government intervenes in economic develop- ment; the welfare-oriented government is to provide social welfare for the citizens; the ruling-oriented government directly manages and takes over the economy; and the service-oriented government is characterized by the service providers undertaken by the government in the economy and society.1 Either type of government is closely related to social, political and economic conditions, and there is an interactive relationship of “adaptation-inadaptation- adaptation” between them, that is, each type of government is always adapted to the prevailing socio-political and economic conditions at the initial stage of its emer- gence. But this kind of adaptive relationship is a dynamic process, and at a certain stage, there will be contradictions and conflicts. As such contradictions and conflicts are irreconcilable, a new type of government will emerge, which is the alternating development process of government types.
Healthy Ageing in Singapore Opportunities, Challenges and the Way Forward - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Singapore is the world’s second-fastest ageing society. It will become a super-aged society by 2030. The twin challenges of low fertility rate and longer life expectancy have resulted in a shrinking workforce, an increase in old-age dependency ratio and feminization of ageing in the country. This chapter examines the government’s response to popula- tion ageing in Singapore since 1982. The Singapore government adopts the “many helping hands” approach to enable individuals, families and community partners to play their part in supporting and caring for older adults. It also promulgates important legislations to protect the rights of older adults. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to healthy ageing. How an individual, the community and the government understand and inter- pret the concept of healthy ageing may vary among cities or countries. Besides, how the government in a city or a country develops its healthy ageing framework or implements its healthy ageing strategy very much depends on the political, economic, social, cultural and historical context. Nevertheless, achieving healthy ageing should be able to add years to one’s life as well as add life to one’s years
Rice Green Revolution in Sub-Saharan Africa - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The time is ripe to pursue a Green Revolution in rice in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as a means of promoting food security and poverty reduction. This is partly because rice is an up-and-coming crop in this region, and partly because, as will be demonstrated in this volume, we have now accumulated deep knowledge about rice cultivation in SSA. With the aim of generating relevant policy recommendations, this book attempts to show what needs to be done to realize a rice Green Revolution in SSA. It is based on more than ten years of empirical inquiries into rice production by our research team in selected countries, namely Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, and Senegal, along with the newly added case of Cote d’Ivoire. This chapter explains why rice is important, provides a conceptual framework for realizing a rice Green Revolution, and proposes several major hypotheses to be tested in this book

Natural Resource Degradation and Human-Nature Wellbeing Cases of Biodiversity Resources, Water Resources, and Climate Change - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: he worldwide concerns for deforestation, degraded soil, polluted air, declined water, endangered species and climate change are all well-meaning. Yet the causes, effects and solutions warrant meticulous scrutiny. The concerns have heightened in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, as there is a direct linkage between nature’s destruction and the outbreak of disease. It is imperative to protect nature by halting natural resource degradation to prevent future pandemics. In this backdrop, the book focuses on natural resource governance mechanisms illustrated with cases of biodiversity, water resources and climate change to identify the underlying causes of resource degradation, especially in the context of developing countries. It also attempts to bring forth a new understanding regarding the usage, management and conservation of natural resources in a sustainable manner. The broad concerns that arise in the contemporary era are to (a) conserve nature in all its forms and functions and (b) create an equitable home and achieve a high standard of living for people on this planet without destabilising critical planetary processes (O’Neill et al., 2018; WWF, 2016). These dual challenges are also delin- eated in the United Nations’ 2030 agenda for sustainable development. The Sustain- able Development Goals (SDGs)—17 in total—under the agenda include several goals (Goals 6, 13, 14 and 15) which focus on nature and the environment directly (Elder & Olsen, 2019; Scharlemann et al., 2020), while other goals have indirect environmental implications as well.
Contemporary Economic Issues in Asian Countries: Proceeding of CEIAC 2022, Volume 2 - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: CSR is the way in which corporations attribute their resources to take responsibility in order to improve the society and environment for a long term which goes beyond the merely economic strategy and legal requirements. It is one of the important factors affecting firm performance. Along with the shift from “traditional CSR” to “modern CSR,” our study assesses the impact of online CSR disclosure on firm performance of listed banks in Vietnam to fill the research gap both in theory and in experimental application. Content analysis and Pool-OLS regression methods are applied to calculate and evaluate the results of testing the research hypotheses. The results show that online CSR disclosure produces a positive effect on firm perfor- mance in terms of ROA indicator and the online disclosure of CSR information can produce protection shield to reduce the negative impacts of uncertainty events as COVID-19. Our study provides empirical suggestion that managers should utilize CSR as a strategic action to gain higher firm performance. This result implies that in terms of policy, it is necessary to establish standardized systems that guide and control CSR practices to enhance the effectiveness of CSR disclosure
