Validating the demand for goat meat in the US meat market

There is a large body of literature in economics examining the US meat market, but few studies have focused on the US goat meat market. This study, as a catch-up effort, provides an estimate of the demand for goat meat and assesses the impact of driving factors in the US goat meat market. The data for this study were collected in 11 southern states and specifically elicit the demand and consumer preferences in this non-conventional market. Four econometric models are fitted to examine the multiple layers of the demand, including the current, the potential, the latent, and the seasonal demand. Findings indicate a substantial demand for goat meat with great growth potential, driven by demographic factors and food safety concerns. Ethnic groups and the aged comprise the current niches for goat meat, and the preferences for healthy and safe meat will define the market in the future.

Market Demand,Technological Innovation and Development of China's Strategic Emerging Industries

TRANSFORM THE MECHANISM OF RENMINBI’S EXCHANGE RATE SYSTEM IN CONFORMITY WITH THE DEMAND OF MARKET ECONOMY——The academic report delivered at the Annual Meeting of NNCIFS on October 1993

Exchange rate functions under systems of centrallyplanned economy and market economy are quite different,and the mechanism to determine such exchange rate is alsodifferent. To adopt a socialist market economic system inChina, the exchange rate mechanism of Renminbi must bethoroughly transformed. To accomplish this goal, I believethere are three problems that must be solved: first,

China's Auto Market Demand Potential

In the 1980s, China’s auto market saw three dramatic fluctuations. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the market, as a whole, has become calm and stable without any major changes, though it has never evaded occasional rises and fails. The pattern of demand on the market has been generally set and clear, and has begun to grow steadily. In view of the present situation, two major categories of vehicles—office-use and business or service use cars and trucks—have long been in demand on the market, almost dominat-

Status and Perspective of Demand Resource Market in Korea＇s Electric Power Industry

This paper calls attention to the demand resource market in Korea which opened in 2008 to reduce customers＇ consumption at critical times and, at the same time, secure the load that can be shut down. In Korea, the demand resource market is operated by either forward market or spot market. The discussion here is limited to the operations of the demand resource spot market. As the demand response program has matured in the smart grid environment, KPX （Korea Power Exchange） will shortly complete the development of the real-time demand resource trading system, taking into account an integrated dispatch system.

Supply and demand subject behavior of building energy efficiency in market fostering

Consumers and developers are the market transaction subjects which drive the development of building energy efficiency market. High energy prices, unreasonable heating system, information asymmetry of building energy suppress demand of energy efficiency construction; high technical risk and construction cost, nonstandard market restrict the supply of energy efficiency construction. To promote the development of building energy efficiency, we must set up effective incentive policies for both sides of the market transaction, improve the supervisory system, promote the technological progress, build the information sharing platform, so as to achieve the purpose of cultivating and improving the building energy efficiency market system, regulating the behavior of supply and demand subject, building the mutually beneficial and cooperative partnership, and realizing the balance of interests.

Factors That Affect Consumption Patterns and Market Demands for Honey in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Despite the significant annual consumption of honey in Saudi Arabia, information gaps remain with regard to the marketing and market structure of honey along the value chain. This study analyzed the major factors that influenced the consumption, expenditure patterns, and demand of honey in Saudi Arabia. This study forecasted the near-future expected market demands for honey in Saudi Arabia by collecting and analyzing the primary data using questionnaires. A total of 331 respondents from representative regions and large cities were randomly selected and interviewed. The data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods as well as appropriate econometric models. Respondents characterized honey quality using organoleptic words, and these characterizations varied based on the relative significance of perception parameters. Taste, aroma, physical state, and color had aggregated average scores of 4.58, 4.44, 3.54, and 3.28, respectively. In addition to the above parameters, honey source, brand name, and confidence in the producers influenced its perceived quality. The major outlets for honey in Saudi Arabia included producers, specialized honey stores, and auction markets in major cities during the harvesting seasons. Medication, food, and sweetening were the major motivations for buying honey in the Saudi market, with aggregate scores of 4.52, 3.71, and 1.52, respectively. Significant honey price variations were observed within and among different honeys and packaging volumes;this finding might be due to factors such as botanical and geographical origins, package volume size economics (i.e., bulk purchases), honey variety blending, brand names, and producer policies. The average price of locally produced honey was approximately $73 per kg, which is 10 times more than the average price of honey in the US and the EU. The estimated consumption/income elasticity was 0.27. These results suggest that honey is a basic commodity in Saudi Arabia. Based on econometric model forecasts, the Saudi market demand for honey is expected to reach approximately 29,784 tons in 2025.

计及成本和价值的长周期负荷侧调节能力投入策略

随着新型电力系统的发展,负荷侧调节能力建设日益受到关注,对于负荷侧调节能力成本、价值及其投入策略的研究,具有重要意义。基于近10 a来中国电力工业发展的基础数据,结合新型电力系统发展态势,分析了负荷侧调节能力需求的背景,通过对发用电两侧调节能力特点的比较,从电力系统整体角度梳理了负荷侧调节能力的投入所带来的增量价值,分析了负荷侧调节能力的应用价值盈余,进一步结合具体需求提出了3种长周期下负荷侧调节能力投入的优化策略模型,并进行了算例分析。结果显示:负荷侧调节能力的投入有利于降低电力系统的总成本、增加系统调节能力,但是由于其成本曲线的变化以及“非持久特性”等因素,其投入策略需要综合长周期市场发展需求和发用电两侧成本因素进行权衡,所提出的3种优化模型各有其适用场景。

统一大市场建设对城际经济协同发展的影响研究

城际经济协同发展是我国现代化城际发展格局构建的重要方向,而统一大市场建设在城际经济协同发展进程中发挥着重要作用。文章基于2011—2020年全国243个地级及以上城市构成的29403组两两城市对样本,实证检验统一大市场建设对城际经济协同发展的影响效应及其作用机制和调节效应。研究发现:统一大市场建设显著促进我国城际经济协同发展,在处理内生性问题和进行稳健性检验后结论依然成立;处于同一区域内部的城市间统一大市场建设推动经济协同发展的作用强于不同区域城市间的作用;统一大市场建设可以通过产业结构优化和市场需求驱动,促进城际经济协同发展;经济关联度可以强化统一大市场建设对城际经济协同发展的促进作用,而地理临近性的调节作用并不显著。

中国成品油市场2023年回顾与2024年供需分析预测

回顾2023年中国成品油市场发展,结合国内经济发展各种因素,对2024年成品油市场进行预测。分析认为:2023年中国成品油需求持续复苏,消费属性突出的汽油和航空煤油(航煤)消费大幅增长,经济增速加快拉动柴油消费温和增长,中国成品油消费量预估为3.66×10^(8)t,同比增长12.2%,为2011年以来再次出现两位数增长;成品油消费税扩围征收提高了调合油的原料成本,减少了低价资源数量;出口配额大幅增加则缓解了国内资源过剩压力。2024年,消费对经济增长的贡献将继续加大,航煤消费将持续快速增长,汽车电动化将导致汽油消费增速大幅放缓,能耗双控逐步转向碳排放双控,柴油消费量将重回下降通道。2024年中国成品油市场仍将呈现供需双增的良好态势,消费量预计为3.69×10^(8)t,较2023年小幅增长0.8%;地方炼厂成品油资源持续增加,国内成品油过剩规模将超过5000×10^(4)t,国内市场竞争形势依然严峻。

市场渗透率约束下的拼车奖励方案优化模型

目前,我国拼车出行交通模式的市场份额相对较低,在缓解交通拥堵、节能减排方面仍有巨大潜力未被充分挖掘。基于奖励的交通需求管理策略可以提高民众拼车出行意愿,但奖励方案的设置与拼车出行的市场渗透率高度相关,不合理的奖励方案容易导致成本增加,甚至项目破产。为进一步激发拼车需求,合理利用交通资源,文中提出一种基于路段的拼车奖励方案优化模型,以拼车为支点,以奖励为杠杆,实现社会出行总成本的降低。其中,上层模型旨在寻找最优拼车奖励方案以最小化社会出行总成本,下层模型为相应奖励方案下的拼车出行车辆和单人驾驶车辆用户均衡流量分配模型。采用嵌套Frank-Wolfe算法的遗传算法求解该模型,并以Sioux Falls路网和Nguyen Dupuis路网为算例对模型的可行性及有效性进行了验证。结果表明:不符合市场渗透率的预算投入会导致社会总成本大幅上涨;在最优拼车奖励方案下,社会出行总成本降低约24.53%,50%的拥堵路段的拥堵得到缓解,出行公平性问题得到缓和。文中提出的模型可为道路管理者设置科学、合理的拼车奖励方案提供理论基础。

基于主体基建模(ABM)的中国智能制造装备产业演化研究

智能制造装备面向的是具有复杂决策机制的制造企业,因此其产业演化规律相较于其他新兴产业有更强的特殊性。目前中国智能制造装备的市场份额较少、缺乏竞争优势,智能制造装备企业难以实现可持续发展。因此,在关键核心技术短期无法突破场景下,探讨政府高效推动智能制造装备市场结构变化、对智能制造装备产业演化的作用机制。通过问卷调查收集智能制造装备市场真实数据,在主体基建模方法(ABM)框架下构建国内外智能制造装备企业决策模型与制造企业决策模型,模拟智能制造装备产业演化过程,分析智能制造装备企业数量、市场需求数量和市场需求分布等市场结构核心参量变化特征,并进一步探究不同扶持政策对产业演化的作用效果。结果发现:在智能制造装备产业演化过程中,市场需求结构的变化是改变国产智能制造装备企业市场份额的关键要素,国产智能制造装备企业市场需求数量经历“增长—下跌—再增长”3个阶段,市场需求在空间上呈“分散—集聚—扩散”分布;在无外部力量干预的情境下,国产智能制造装备企业的市场份额存在显著的持续下降趋势,无论是面向市场需求数量还是面向产品质量提升的政策措施都有利于提升国产智能制造装备企业在产业中的市场状况;不同的政策策略对产业演化进程产生的效果不同,面向产品质量提升的政策对提升国产智能制造装备企业的市场份额效果更显著。
