AbstractThis paper presents an evolutionary model of industry development, and uses simulations to investigation the role of diversity and heterogeneity in firms’ behaviour, and hence industrial development. The simulations suggest that economic growth is increased with greater variety, in the sense of the evolutionary process approaching the equilibrium faster and also, in the long run, moving faster from one equilibrium to a new, more advanced, equilibrium. This occurs due to higher variety caused by a more tolerant environment, and due to the higher probability of emergence of radical innovations.

<p>Este trabalho teve como objetivo zonear os níveis de deterioração ambiental na paisagem entre os anos de 2001 e 2012, adotando os critérios da ecodinâmica nos municípios que compõe o polo de desenvolvimento agroindustrial do Alto Piranhas. Foram realizadas análises envolvendo a dinâmica da paisagem e da vulnerabilidade ambiental. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi baseada em localizações pontuais, que inclui o processo de selecionar e combinar, através de procedimento de álgebra de mapas disponíveis em um SIG, cada variável geográfica contém diferenciação espacial e a combinação entre elas promove a subdivisão do espaço geográfico em regiões equiproblemáticas. Tomando-se por base as superposições dos mapas geológico, geomorfológico e pedológico foi efetuado o mapa de zoneamento ambiental, com informações que permitiram identificar as condições do meio natural e suas aptidões. Esses fatores foram comparados entre si, conforme a importância atribuída a elas. Os resultados indicaram que as áreas centrais concentram as classes com maiores riscos ambientais, como as instáveis (risco ambiental entre 60 e 80%), e as de instabilidade emergente (risco maior que 80. Já nas áreas distribuídas em toda a área de estudo encontra-se as áreas com risco ambiental entre 40 e 60% (instabilidade moderada). Com base na análise, percebe-se que a área de estudo possui um tênue equilíbrio por estar localizado em ambiente semiárido que pode ser rompido com facilidade com a intensificação das atividades agroindustriais.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Environmental zoning polo agro industry development of Alto Piranhas, </em></strong><strong>Paraíba State</strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><p class="HOLOS-ResumoeAbstract"><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>This study aimed to zone the levels of environmental deterioration in the landscape between the years 2001 and 2012, adopting the criteria of ecodynamics municipalities that make up the hub of agro-industrial development of the Alto Piranhas.

Research in the sphere of the Arctic industrial development often leads to the identification of clear regulatory gaps of a systemic nature. A particular example is the issue of legislative regulation of the involvement of secondary raw materials, fuel and energy resources in economic use and property turnover in the context of resource conservation and resource efficiency. In this case, secondary resources are not subject to independent regulation in general, but only as one of the elements of activities related to environmental protection. Accordingly, the conditions for the development of a system of production and consumption wastes’ effective management, the creation of a recycling industry, including the reuse of such waste, have not been formed yet. The results of the analysis given in this research paper clearly indicate the lack of development of mechanisms for stimulating the use of non-target materials and substances. Industrial enterprises that use secondary resources in production do not currently receive special advantages within the framework of the implemented industrial policy. System benefits are universal and directly related to commodity production only. However, it is necessary to apply measures to encourage industrial activities to implement projects involving the reuse of secondary resources in production, including in the Russian Arctic.

This article analysis the game relationship between local governments without cooperation or not by the game theory during the recycling process of ELV, and then get the optimal strategy choice. Results show that regional income and environmental monitoring are the important factors that affect regional game, as a result, although our country has clearly defined the responsibility of" supervision and management " to local government in the reverse logistics of ELV, this can only play a guiding significance in the process of implementation and the operability is not strong. So we should need to improve the management of special funds, strengthen financial support, adjust the national industrial development policy, establish a regional mechanism of cooperation, setting the development goals scientifically of the recycling industry of ELV, and do further refinement of local government powers and duties, so as to promote the development of recycling industry of ELV healthily.

World production of processed tomato has shifted from the traditional producing countries to others that were previously importers, thereby increasing competition between companies and slowing down agro-industrial and trade growth. Portugal, one of the world’s leading producers of processed tomato has not been immune to this trend, as witnessed by its decline in international competitiveness over the period from 1981 to 2013. The aim of the present study is thus twofold. On the one hand, using various standardized indicators, the determinants of the business competitiveness of processed tomato are analyzed, and, on the other, we perform a comparative analysis between Spain and Portugal. The standardized indicators used in this study are the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) and the Grubel-Lloyd indicator (GL). The results show that price continues to be the primary determinant in processed tomato exports. Specifically, while trade in tomato paste in Portugal is inter-industry, trade in other tomato products is horizontal intra-industry in nature. In conclusion, the relationship between agro-industrial development and technological innovation in Portugal and Spain is key to reducing costs as a strategy to bring competitive and sustainable products to the market.

Abstract In recent two decades, construction and demolition (C&D) waste is becoming a major source for municipal waste which causes serious damage to the environment. To solve the problem, waste recycling measures are gradually used to turn waste into treasures. Meanwhile, several kinds of policies such as waste disposal charging fees have been issued to stimulate stakeholders’ behavior to take waste recycling measures to promote the C&D waste recycling industry. However, the C&D waste recycling rate is still too low in China. In order to promote C&D waste recycling industrial development, this paper is aiming at introducing subsidy and environmental tax policies to promote C&D waste recycling. Based on system dynamics, this study establishes a model to determine the proper subsidy and environmental tax range. According to the simulation results, three kinds of incentive policies are obtained, namely, single subsidy policy, single environmental tax and combined incentive policies. Optimal single subsidy and environmental tax are in the interval [10, 30] and [20, 60], respectively. The best combination strategy is subsidy=10 yuan /ton and environmental tax=20 yuan/ton. The results from this paper could be a foundation for government to establish incentive policies to promote C&D waste recycling.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyse the development trends of Ukrainian industry and identify ways to solve existing problems based on the intensification of innovation processes. Methodology of research. During the research methods generally accepted in economic science were applied, in particular: statistical and graphic – for definition of Ukrainian industry development tendencies; comparative analysis – to compare the Ukrainian industry and the world; system generalization – in substantiating the directions of industry innovative development intensification. Findings. The current trends in the development of industrial production in Ukraine, which are characterized by falling production volumes and negative changes in the structure of the industry, are revealed. The reduction of industrial production is revealed, which occurs mainly due to the curtailment of the processing industry enterprises activity. Negative changes in the structure of the industry are revealed, among which the increase in the share of low-tech productions with a significant decrease in medium-tech and moderate –high-tech ones are highlighted. Based on the correlation between industrial production indicators and GDP dynamics, it is proved that industry forms the foundation of the country`s social and economic development. It was found that the Ukrainian economy lags far behind the development of the world`s leading countries in terms of its material, resource, and energy intensity. The article proves that the issue of industrial development based on the intensification of innovation processes in Ukraine needs radical changes in reforming the management mechanisms of innovation processes and relations between science, society, business, and government to intensify investment activities support the technological development of industry, the introduction of environmentally friendly production. Originality. The analysis of the state of Ukraine`s industry and substantiation of the need for its innovative development was further developed, in the context of which measures were proposed to intensify innovation processes, which, in addition to existing ones, provide for the formation of a managing mechanism for innovative industrial development; coordination of industrial sector development policy with the goals of sustainable and inclusive development; introduction of environmentally friendly industrial production; expansion of cross-border economic and environmental cooperation; development of the strategy of development of the industry of Ukraine taking into account the European experience. Practical value. The results of the study are the basis for solving practical problems of improving the situation and the transition to innovative industrial development in Ukraine. Key words: industry of Ukraine, processing industry, structure of industrial production, industry innovative development.
