The synergy between different regions may enable to realize the system optimization of 1 + 1 > 2 and generate new growth potential. However, research on regional synergy and economic growth is very rare. Here, we developed a theoretical framework of regional synergy and economic growth and then overcame the efficiency-added calculation issue to measure the synergy between every two cities among 285 cities (40,470 city–city units) in China. Further, the effects of regional synergy on economic growth are tested. The total effect tests whether regional synergy could promote the overall economic growth, and the regional effect tests whether regional synergy could promote the economic growth of each subregion. The results show that regional synergy can significantly promote overall economic growth, but only the cities in the developed eastern region could benefit from synergy. The mechanism test shows that regional synergy acts on economic growth through interregional resource flow. Regional synergy promotes the economic growth of cities with resource inflow, while it curbs the economic growth of cities with resource outflow.

<p class="ESRBODY">The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of CDM projects implementation on the most important host countries (China, Brazil, Mexico and South Korea). The analysis concerns the 2003-2010 period and aims to define CDM’s potential impacts in terms of GHG emissions, GHG intensities, renewable energies spread, sustainable development and economic growth. As far as economic growth is concerned, we adapt the theoretical framework developed within the FDI-growth nexus, given the existing similarities between CDM and FDI investments.</p>

Installed Capacity

Economies today are relying on coal and other finite sources for their energy needs which has not only resulted in exhaustion of finite resources but also has adversely affected the environment as burning of coal alone is responsible for emission of Green House Gases . As the economy grows the consumption of power also rises and in order to keep pace with the growing demand for power, economies are forced to increase the installed capacity. But in economies like US, China and India dependence on coal has been in rise for last few decades. Simon Kuznet rightly brought this to our notice and established the relationship between carbon emission and GDP which would be positively related initially but growth in GDP would enable the economies to find out some alternatives and reduce the emissions n long run. This paper critically analyses the existence of hypothesized relationship of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and CO2 emissions of U.S., India and China. In trying to prove the theoretical framework that economic growth (GDP) in terms of purchasing power parity and environmental deterioration are strongly related, the paper used the data of developed and developing countries mentioned above. The main aim of the paper is to check the applicability of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) on the economic growth of U.S., China and India. The researcher used regression for time series analysis in analyzing the data from 1999-2018. The paper is divided into three sections with the first section covering the introduction; the second section is theoretical framework. Data analysis and presentation of findings formed the third section. The researcher finally concluded the paper by giving some suggestions in lieu of the findings.

The Impact

Open data are freely accessible online, available to be reused. They can be used for the development of applications which improve citizens' lives. A way to boost the development of innovative applications is by hosting hackathons, workshops, and conferences. Apparently, as far as entrepreneurship, open data impact economic growth, innovation, empowerment, and new or improved products and services. There is limited previous research not only on what motivates the developers to participate in open data competitions, but also on the benefits and challenges which are caused from the use of open data. Furthermore, researches focus on factors that affect nascent entrepreneurs' decisions to create a startup, but research in the field of open data and hackathons are limited. The purpose of this chapter is to present a theoretical framework in order to examine the impact of motivations, benefits, and barriers of the use of open data in the participation in hackathons and to develop a startup based on their applications.

Productive Government Expenditure

We develop a R&D-based growth model with productive public expenditure in order to frame the Quadruple Helix (QH) innovation concept, based on four helices: Academia & Technological Infrastructures, Firms, Government and Civil Society. Our motivation stems from acknowledgment that the relationship between these four helices and their joint impact on growth is in need of a theoretical framework. We aim to emphasise the importance to economic growth of innovation systems structured on these four helices. The introduced model confirms theoretically the notion that increases in: (i) complementarities between distinct productive units, or (ii) in productive government expenditure, lead to higher growth.

The Right

Previous studies on the development of socio-economic rights in Indonesia heavily focus on the Constitutional Court’s decisions in upholding the rights. But there is still minimum study on the political economy behind the development of socio-economic rights in Indonesia. This article will analyze the development of socio-economic rights through the lenses of the right to social security. This article relies on two major theoretical frameworks to analyze the development of the right to social security in Indonesia. The first theoretical framework is the authoritarian constitutionalism in the economic sphere. The second theoretical framework in this article is Kathrine Young’s theory of the construction of socio-economic rights. This article postulates that the rights to social security has been constitutionalized but not constituted in Indonesia for several reasons. First, and foremost, the legacy of authoritarian constitutionalism that prioritizing economic growth over the fulfilment of social economic rights. The “growth” ideology has contributed to the discrepancy between the constitution and reality, in which the government merely considers protection of socio-economic rights as extra cost, which will hamper the growth of the economy. Second, the lack of philosophical and comparative analysis in the interpretation of rights to social security. Third, the transformation of the Court as a detached court in the enforcement of the rights to social security. The element of detachment is clearly seen in the Court’s too much deferral to the Executive and Legislative branches in defining the scope and meaning of the right to social security. Finally, the failure of social movement to create a new narrative on injustice and the importance of rights to social security.

Egalitarian Theory

What constraints does justice impose on our appropriation, or our holdings, of natural resources? This chapter examines several competing answers to that question. It rejects right-libertarian and minimalist views on resource justice, and instead argues in favour of an egalitarian approach. It then moves on to address some important challenges to an egalitarian theory of resource justice. For instance, it is sometimes argued that the ‘resource curse’ shows that natural resource endowments make little difference to economic growth. If so, egalitarian interest in their distribution is misplaced. The chapter shows how egalitarians should respond to this challenge. It also addresses objections from relationist scholars of global justice, and from those who believe that individual nations or states might have special claims over the resources they control.

It is sometimes claimed that policy makers in the Australian educational system do not give adequate attention to the conceptions and interests underlying and involved with the numbers used in decision making. Can we find an account that maintains the bureaucratic approach while enabling people's conceptions and interests an adequate role? By outlining the theoretical framework of the Williams Report and by considering the roles of people's conceptions in the relationships between the educational system and economic growth, in changes in the educational system and in accounts for understanding and planning the educational system, it is argued that one can find such an account in the form of a peg-board model of rational social action.
