How can technology and efficiency alleviate the dilemma of economic growth and carbon emissions in China's industrial economy? A metafrontier decoupling decomposition analysis

This paper attempts to explore the decoupling relationship and its drivers between industrial economic increase and energy-related CO_(2) emissions(ICE). Firstly, the decoupling relationship was evaluated by Tapio index. Then, based on the DEA meta-frontier theory framework which taking into account the regional and industrial heterogeneity and index decomposition method, the driving factors of decoupling process were explored mainly from the view of technology and efficiency. The results show that during2000-2019, weak decoupling was the primary state. Investment scale expansion was the largest reason hindering decoupling process of industrial increase from ICE. Both energy saving and production technology achieved significant progress, which facilitated the decoupling process. Simultaneously, the energy technology gap and production technology gap among regions have been narrowed, and played a role in promoting decoupling process. On the contrary, both scale economy efficiency and pure technical efficiency have inhibiting effects on decoupling process. The former indicates that the scale economy of China's industry was not conducive to improve energy efficiency and production efficiency, while the latter indicates that resource misallocation problem may exist in both energy market and product market.

It proposes promoting OSS as a strategy the Chinese government should adopt to grow the software industry and the specific actions that should be taken.

Review on the challenges and strategies in oil and gas industry's transition towards carbon neutrality in China

In light of carbon-neutral pledge, the oil and gas industry has been facing several critical new challenges in China. The current status and new challenges in terms of market mechanism reform, supply-consumption balance and key technology innovation in China's oil and gas industry are reviewed in the present study, and new strategies and roadmaps are proposed to cope with the challenges. The study found that (i) the oil and gas market faces challenges such as incomplete pricing mechanisms, unclear subject rights, and the lack of recognition and trading of carbon assets. (ii) the trade-off between short-term supply security and long-term low-carbon supply is the most critical issue. (iii) in addition to typical challenges such as immature technology and lack of funding support, the unclear multiple technology coupling development mode also poses problems for the low-carbon transformation of the oil and gas industry. To address these new challenges, comprehensive strategies and roadmaps for China's oil and gas industry towards carbon neutrality are proposed and discussed in the aspects of participating in market transactions, restructuring production and consumption, deploying key technology innovations, and planning enterprise strategies. The present study is expected to provide a blueprint for the future development of China's oil and gas industry towards carbon neutrality.

Shifting Private Timberland Ownership in South Carolina: Implications for Management Intensity

Beginning in the late 1970’s forest industry timberland gained the eye of financial investors. Diamond International and Crown Zellerbach were early firms that were purchased for the “break-up value” of their timberland. Timberland was perceived as undervalued by investors and made forest industry firms attractive takeover targets. This started a process where forest industry divested of its timberland. Some firms formed separate entities for its timberland base. Acquisitions and mergers became popular in the industry. Some forest industry companies converted to real estate investment trusts, for tax and defensive reasons. Large institutional investors became interested in timberland as means to diversify their portfolios and increase financial performance. Timber management investment organizations developed to manage and procure timberland for these institutional investors. Today little of the forest industry timberland remains with vertically-integrated forest products companies. South Carolina’s forest industry timberland decreased by about 800,000 ha since 1993 (or nearly 90%). This has implications for the state’s timber supply. Forest industry timberlands were some of the most productive and intensively managed forests in the state. We address how forest management might change on this timberland and how long-term timber supply might be impacted in the state.

Market analysis for timber and forest products in China

This paper introduces the general condition of forestry resources of China and the demand and supply of timber and forest products. The market for timber and forest producls has borne dual pressure because of the population explosion and growth of the domestic economy. A major contemporary strategy for sustainable forestry includes the promotion of the Forest Products Industry (FPI), the substitution of other materials for timber,and the encouragement of imports of timber and forest products. The author analyzes the effect of these policies on the market for timber and forest products. In addition, the difficulties encountered by most mid-to large -scale state- owned forest enterprises during the transition from a centrally-planned economy to a market economy are examined. Finally, the author points out the countermeasures and means for reform of these old forest enterprises with a view toward future prosperity of the market for timber and forest products.

产业集聚对中国木材产业出口技术复杂度的影响测度与分析

在构建国内国际双循环相互促进的新发展格局背景下,实现木材产业高质量发展,提高中国木材产业在全球价值链中的竞争力,必须提升木材产业的技术水平。文章基于集聚溢出效应理论,构建产业集聚影响出口技术复杂度的理论分析框架,利用2010-2021年中国30个省份的木材产业数据,采用固定效应模型和中介效应模型,实证检验产业集聚对中国木材产业出口技术复杂度的影响和作用路径。研究结果表明:(1)中国木材产业集聚水平和出口技术复杂度整体呈现上升趋势,但东部、中部、西部三个区域具有差异性;(2)产业集聚对中国木材产业出口技术复杂度具有显著的正向促进作用,促进效应为0.73,表明产业集聚水平每上升1个单位,中国木材产业出口技术复杂度随之提升0.73个单位;技术创新在产业集聚对中国木材产业出口技术复杂度的影响中起中介作用,产业集聚正向促进技术创新,而技术创新显著提升出口技术复杂度;(3)中国木材产业集聚对出口技术复杂度的影响具有时间和空间上的异质性。文章将研究视角聚焦于木材产业,弥补了现有文献关于制造业细分产业的产业集聚和出口技术复杂度研究的不足,完善了木材产业集聚对出口技术复杂度的作用机制。文章提出政策启示:(1)积极引导木材产业集聚,构建大规模本地化生产体系;(2)各地区木材产业发展政策应因地制宜、精准施策;(3)加大创新投入,积极培育和引进高端人才,持续健全“产学研”体系,营造良好的创新环境。

全球价值链嵌入、产业集聚对南方十省木材产业全要素生产率的影响

基于内外双循环视角,构建全球价值链嵌入和产业集聚影响木材产业全要素生产率的理论框架,将中国省级层面的区域性投入产出表与全球投入产出表进行匹配,嵌套测算中国南方十省木材产业全球价值链参与度,并实证分析全球价值链嵌入程度和产业集聚水平对全要素生产率的影响机制。结果表明:南方十省木材产业全球价值链参与度水平逐年提升,全球价值链参与度指数每变动1个单位,会对木材产业的全要素生产率产生0.598个单位的正向影响,产业集聚指数每变动1个单位,木材产业全要素生产率会产生0.192个单位的正向变动,提升产业集聚水平对于南方十省木材产业全要素生产率的提升同样具有较为显著的正向作用,这说明已形成一定规模的产业集群,发挥集群优势;全球价值链参与度和产业集聚水平对于提升木材产业全要素生产率具有显著的正向作用,但全球价值链与产业集聚的交互项乘积系数为-0.568,说明全球价值链和产业集聚会构筑壁垒阻碍知识技术的交流从而对全要素生产率的提升产生抑制作用。据此,建议进一步提升十省木材产业全球价值链参与程度和产业集聚水平,促进木材产业全要素生产率的提升、推动产业集群发挥更大的集群效应,结合南方十省实际,出台更多具有针对性的优惠政策,同时完善基础设施建设,共同助力木材产业实现高质量发展。
