TECC is evaluated based on the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response(DPSIR) model, and TIA is estimated by the location quotient index.The analysis reveals that TIA and TECC both show growth trends and significant regional differences among the 26cities, but the latter fluctuates at certain stages. Moreover, TIA has a significant double threshold effect on TECC,which shows that the positive impact of TIA is enhanced initially but then weakens afterwards. Theoretically, this study contributes to enriching the current literature on TECC from the perspective of TIA. Practically, it could help local governments effectively arrange agglomerations to promote the sustainable development of the tourism industry in China.展开更多

At the provincial level,from the perspective of average and marginal net benefits,it compared the effects of chemical fertilizer input on farmers' income. It reached the conclusion that the chemical fertilizer input efficiency has deviated from the optimal level. Thus,only by increasing the marginal productivity of chemical fertilizers,may it be able to increase farmers' income.展开更多
