The aims of this research were to analyze  the impact of ECGI, WELFI, POVEI are used to regional divisions on coastal regions in Bengkulu Province to 1) economic  performances before and after the divisions, and 2) economic performances of Core Region, New  Autonomus Region, and both after the divisions. The results of this research : 1) the differential t test analyses of economic performance indicators in coastal region of Bengkulu Province  showed that the economic growth before and after the divisions were not different, the GDP per capita after the divisions was higher than before, and the poverty indexes were same between before and after the divisions, and 2) the economic performance after the divisions of coastal region in Bengkulu Province could be explained that the economic growth of the Core Region was the highest and stable whereas the economic growth of the New Autonomous Region was the lowest and tend to unstable, the highest GDP per capita was occured on the Core Region and the lowest one was on the New Autonomous Region, while the lowest poverty index was on the Core Region and the highest one was on the New Autonomous Region.Keywords : impact, regional divisions, economic performance, coastal region

Taking the 30 Chinese provinces in 2000–2018 as the objects, this paper measures their agricultural environmental efficiencies (AEEs) with slack-based measure (SBM) containing an undesired output. Then, the features of the spatiotemporal evolution of AEE in China were explored on ArcGIS, and the factors affecting the AEE were analyzed with a geodetector. The results show that there is a huge provincial gap in AEE across China; most provinces with a high AEE belong to eastern coastal region, while most inland provinces had a relatively low AEE. Except for a few years, the AEEs in eastern, central, and western regions changed very slightly, and the eastern region had a higher AEE level than central and western regions. The results of spatiotemporal evolution show that, with the elapse of time, the high-AEE provinces gradually shifted to the inland; the AEE trend varied from province to province; the provinces were highly polarized in terms of AEE. The AEE is mainly affected by the following factors: fiscal expenditure, fertilizer intensity, pesticide intensity, and economic growth.

Abstract. What narrative is deemed most compelling to justify anti-immigrant sentiments when a country’s economy is not a cause for concern? We predicted that flourishing economies constrain the viability of realistic threat arguments. We found support for this prediction in an experiment in which participants were asked to take on the role of speechwriter for a leader with an anti-immigrant message (N = 75). As predicted, a greater percentage of realistic threat arguments and fewer symbolic threat arguments were generated in a condition in which the economy was expected to decline than when it was expected to grow or a baseline condition. Perhaps more interesting, in the economic growth condition, the percentage realistic entitlements and symbolic threat arguments generated were higher than when the economy was declining. We conclude that threat narratives to provide a legitimizing discourse for anti-immigrant sentiments are tailored to the economic context.
