Benefit Cost

In recognition of the negative climate change and deteriorative air quality, the iron and steel industry in China was subject to production capacity phase-out policy (PCPP), which is deeply influencing industrial restructuring and national emission reduction targets. However, researches that quantitatively estimated the comprehensive impacts of such structural adjustment policy remain scant. For this purpose, this study expands and soft-links between GAINS and IMED models to characterize the impacts of climate change and PM[Formula: see text]-attributed health co-benefits. Results showed the PCPP based on scale limitation to eliminate backward capacities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region yields total benefits of 34.9 billion Yuan (4.2 billion USD), 89% of total coming from energy saving and carbon mitigation, more than policy costs (20.0 billion Yuan) in 2020, but the gap between benefit-cost will keep narrowing to [Formula: see text]2.8 billion Yuan ([Formula: see text]0.3 billion USD) in 2020–2030, indicating that policy improvement is needed in the long run. To further increase policy co-benefits and achieve multiple policy targets, the policymaker should readjust the PCPP by switching scale limitation to energy efficiency constraint. If doing that, the difference of benefit-cost will achieve 42.5 billion Yuan (5.1 billion USD). The regional disparity also exits due to the diverse ratio of benefit-cost in the selected provinces, calling for necessary fiscal incentives to the less developed area, e.g., Hebei, to promote closer integration.

Cette recherche analyse la régulation des systèmes éducatifs du Bénin et du Sénégal dans le cadre de la décentralisation de l’éducation qui leur a été prescrite à travers les politiques d’ajustement structurel. Quatre aspects clés du système éducatif ont été analysés: l’offre d’éducation, les programmes d’enseignement, l’inspection et/ou le contrôle des enseignants et la condition enseignante. L’étude de cas à partir de données invoquées a été utilisée. Il ressort de l’analyse comparée des portraits nationaux que les appropriations nationales de la mise en application de la décentralisation demeurent assez distinctes dans ces deux pays et que la régulation actuelle de leurs systèmes éducatifs repose sur un modèle composite. This paper analyzes the regulation of education systems in Benin and in Senegal in the context of decentralization as prescribed through the structural adjustment policy. Four key elements of the education system are considered: access, curriculum, inspection and, or supervision of teachers, and teaching conditions. The author develops a case study from the available data. The comparative analysis of the national profiles demonstrates that applications of the decentralization process are quite different between these two countries and that the current regulation of the education systems is built on a composite model.
