Studies on the rise of global value chains (GVCs) have attracted a great deal of interest in the recent economics literature. However, due to statistical and methodological challenges, most existing researches...
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement as originally announced in October 2015 was undoubtedly the largest regional trade accord in history and, if approved, could have set new terms for the nearly US ...
This paper evaluates the impact of the structural and cohesion funds received by Spain in the period 2007–2013. The analysis is performed with a detailed computable general equilibrium (CGE) model calibrated w...
Motivated by both the need to model recent structural economic changes and the need to understand better the nature of environmental–economic interactions, this paper introduces a continuous-time regional econ...
The three-sector framework (relating to agriculture, manufacturing, and services) is one of the major concepts for studying the long-run dynamics of the economic structure. We summarize the empirical/theoretic...
China’s exports can be divided into three types: processing trade, normal trade of goods, and normal trade of services. Based on China’s non-competitive input–output table that captures the processing trade, w...
This study develops an automobile life-cycle analysis framework considering lifetimes of new and used passenger cars. Using the analysis framework based on the Weibull survival distributions of new and used ca...
This study analyzed the environmental efficiency of production activities based on the accumulated resources (i.e., buildings and roadways), factor inputs (i.e., labor and private capital stock), and CO2 emission...
Regional planning primarily aims at reducing the disparity in socio-economic status of the people, and the wide gulf between urban and rural life. A planning region or an area comprises of many complex structu...
India is pioneer in constructing the social account matrices for its economy for various years, but limited efforts have been made to construct a SAM for India with detailed description about types labour inpu...
This study proposes a use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess the performance of energy industries. The DEA is a nonparametric approach that does not assume any functional form for performance assessm...
The current study is divided into two parts. Part I deals with the indices of resource and impact decoupling for 13 countries of the EU, for a period spanning from 1990 to 2011. Employing the major pressures, ...
This note describes a simple technique of decomposing total impact multipliers derived from input–output analysis. The approach uses a generalised supply and use table framework, explicitly distinguishing betw...
This study extends the current New Keynesian modeling framework by changing one crucial aspect: it replaces the general equilibrium assumption by the arguably more realistic assumption of macroeconomic disequi...
Over the last few decades, Morocco has been undergoing a strong and fast water demand increase due to demographic upsurge, irrigated agriculture expansion, flourishing foreign trade and changing standard of li...
Agricultural information is transferred through social interactions; therefore, ties to agricultural informants and network structures within farmers’ local neighborhoods determine their information-gathering ...
Environmental assessment and pollution protection are important concerns in modern business and policy. Consumers are interested in corporate efforts on not only their products but also environmental protectio...
This research investigates efficiency differences between two important financial approaches that credit card companies use to attract customers. Since the cash-back offer has been already investigated by prev...
We present an algorithmic approach for the design of fiscal policy rules. In particular, using algorithmic feedback control techniques, we design linear feedback policy rules such that predetermined target lev...
This study investigates consumers’ preference for dynamic pricing rules using a choice experiment. Among alternative electricity pricing rules, time of use (TOU) is most preferred by consumers, and our estima...
Finding environmentally significant clusters in global supply-chain networks of goods and services has been investigated by Kagawa et al. (Soc Netw 35(3):423–438, 2013a; Econ Syst Res 25(3):265–286, 2013b; Glob E...
The contention that “inclusive” institutions are the deep determinants of economic growth remains unsatisfactory. This paper develops an alternative theoretical and empirical case that economic structures are ...
As the economic importance of tourism increases, it is important to consider the effects that tourism has on the environment in the affected regions of the country. In our study, we selected two popular touris...
Metal extraction and smelting cause considerable impacts on the environment. Consumption-based impact accounting highlights the responsibility of metal-consuming industries for the impacts and may drive a syst...
