China’s economy has been soaring in the recent decades. Nevertheless, it is characterized by problems of imbalance of economic development, which could hinder the sustainable development of the economy. This paper selects data of various kinds of public goods provision and regional economic development status in China from 2007 to 2014, and investigates the influence of public goods on the development of China’s regional economy from using a spatial econometric approach. Empirical findings show that there is a significant spatial correlation within the data of public goods investment during 2007 and 2014, and that the investment on public goods has positive influence on development of regional economy. The finding also shows that there exist spatial spillover effects, which means that the investment in regional public goods can boost the economic growth of surrounding regions.

Econometric Approach

Evaluating the effectiveness of government programs is an important topic for economic developers. One popular example is the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s (EDA) Public Works Program, initially established in 1965. Haughwout (1999) found a significant positive impact of EDA public works projects completed in 1990 on county-level employment over the period 1990 to 1994. The authors reexamine whether this effect continues to hold 20 years later by replicating Haughwout’s specification using data from 2010 to 2014. The results are consistent with those originally reported by Haughwout. The authors then extend the analysis by incorporating a spatial econometric approach to examine the existence of potential spillover effects. The results indicate that EDA investments have a significant positive effect on both targeted and neighboring counties’ employment. The findings suggest that public infrastructure investments can be important tools for economic development by positively influencing employment in both the recipient county and neighboring counties.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships of technical training and the peer effects of technical training with farmers' pesticide use behaviors.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses survey data from 300 peanut growers in Zoucheng County, Shandong, China, in 2016 and employs spatial econometric models to examine the relationships of technical training and the peer effects of technical training with farmers' pesticide use behaviors.FindingsThis paper reveals that important peer effects can be channeled through technical training and that these peer effects are sufficiently significant to encourage neighboring farmers to reduce the amount of pesticide use, to transform the structure of pesticide use, and to increase the usage amount of low-toxicity, low-residue pesticide use per hectare. The estimated parameters for the peer effects from technical training are significantly larger than those from technical training alone, which suggests that the technical training of neighboring farmers plays a greater role than technical training for farmers individually.Originality/valueThe research finds that technical training within smaller, localized, groups can induce previously unobservable spillover effects, and this provides a scientific, theoretical and empirical justification for agricultural technology extension that can lead to a rapid, effective transformation of applying new agricultural technologies in an environmentally sensitive and economically sustainable manner.

Ecological and economic indicators are a kind of indicator of the economic state of the regions, the ongoing processes, trends in the regional economy, the quality of life of population and characterize the sustainable development of the regions. These indicators should take into account the regional power structures that make management decisions for regional development. Often, these indicators are formed in isolation from each other, and the analysis of statistical reports does not allow the data to be formed up-to-date. The study identifies the reasons associated with the problems of sustainable development of the region’s economy, and notes the connection of these problems with the quality of life of the population. It is noted that ensuring a high level of economic development in the regions is often at the expense of the state and quality of the environment. It is noted that Russia is following the path of international trends in the development of the regional economy – compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is due to the support of the global strategy of economic development within the framework of the “green economy”. The article examines the components of the environmental quality indicators of the Russian regions, and also establishes a correlation between them and the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of the work of the heads of regions and regional executive authorities, which ultimately reflects the level of development of the region as a whole. In the work, using the National Environmental Rating for 2020 of the subjects of the Russian Federation, leaders and outsiders among the regions of the Russian Federation are identified by the level of their environmental condition. According to the results of the ecological and economic assessment, the authors ranked the complex indicator of the state of environmental indicators in the regions, which include a list of six indicators: the level of emissions of harmful substances, the discharge of polluted wastewater, production and consumption waste, water consumption, energy consumption, and environmental protection costs. The researchers analyzed the positions of the Voronezh Region in terms of the quality of life in the region and finding a position in the environmental rating of the subjects of the Russian Federation. The authors propose a grouping of regions by the value of a complex indicator, study the indicators of the ecological state of the regions, and correlate between sustainable development and the quality of life of the population of the regions

Manufacturing Mode

In the last three decades of rapid economic growth since the reform and opening-up, the traditional manufacturing mode of “high investment, high consumption, high pollution” along with unilateral pursuit of fast-growth of GDP makes resources and environmental problems emerged. Via high-tech, remanufacturing industry which is based on circular economy revitalizes waste products, dramatically improves the efficiency of resources utilization and reduces pollution in the manufacturing process, leading the transformation of economic development pattern. It is a kind of promising strategical industry in the sustainable development of regional economy. With the guidance of industrial cluster theory, it will create a new growth pole for regional economic development through vigorously developing remanufacturing industry, forming industrial clusters and remanufacturing industrial zones with regional and industrial characteristics and perfecting relevant laws and regulations and strengthening the industrial chain.

Reform And Opening Up

Since the reform and opening-up, the disparity between Chinese rural economy and the overall national economic development has already become the key constraint for further development of the national economy. In order to increase the farmers’ income and to promote rural economic development, the efforts of China’s budgetary and financial policies to support agriculture have been strengthened year by year. However, it lacks an accurate and effective assessment to evaluate the effects of China’s fiscal and financial policies supports for agriculture. This paper proposes to estimate and measure the effects of China’s fiscal and financial supports for agriculture utilizing the Chinese provincial panel data on the basis of the latest spatial panel econometric method. The results show that since China intensified the fiscal and financial support in 2004, the direct effects of fiscal and financial supports for agriculture have improved, but the spatial spillover effects have turned from positive to negative.

Economic Globalisation

This article seeks to deepen our understanding of the globalisation–growth nexus as it extends the investigation to using a spatial econometric approach, hitherto rarely used in the globalisation literature. The objective of the article is to uncover not only the significant growth effects of globalisation but also its possible spillover effects onto neighbouring countries. Using a panel data set of 83 countries across a 30-year period and via a spatial autoregressive panel data method, this article estimates a standard growth model augmented with a parameter to capture the countries’ spatial dependence, whilst controlling for globalisation indices. The findings indicate a positive effect of economic globalisation, which is dependent upon the political settings in the countries under study. The spillover effects of globalisation across neighbouring countries are shown, both in geographical and institutional spheres. The article concludes with some policy recommendations. JEL: F63, C31
