Green Shipping

The shipping industry is an important indicator of economic development, and it is closely related to economic growth. At present, China’s economy has moved from a high-speed growth stage to a high-quality development stage. The popularization of the green shipping concept also creates higher requirements for sustainable economic development. The core innovation point of this paper is to construct an index system of green shipping and economic growth in China, and to measure the coupling coordination degree and relative development degree of the two through the comprehensive development index in the form of overall and regional division. This is rarely covered in the existing literature. By constructing an index system for green shipping and economic growth, this paper calculates a comprehensive development index for the two systems and studies the degree of coupling coordination and relative development of the comprehensive system. The results show that, first, during the observation period, the comprehensive system of green shipping and economic growth in China has maintained a growth trend, rising from a near imbalance to a good coordination level, and the two have developed into a synchronous state. Second, the development of the Yangtze River Delta has been relatively rapid, closely followed by that of the Pearl River Delta, while the Bohai Rim area has seen the slowest development. Since 2010, China’s comprehensive system of 11 coastal provinces has mostly left the imbalanced state and it entered the coordination state by 2019. The results of the study provide some suggestions for the coordinated development of green shipping and economic growth.

The Chinese government has implemented a number of environmental policies to promote the continuous improvement of air quality while considering economic development. Scientific assessment of the impact of environmental policies on the relationship between air pollution and economic growth can provide a scientific basis for promoting the coordinated development of these two factors. This paper uses the Tapio decoupling theory to analyze the relationship between regional economic growth and air pollution in key regions of air pollution control in China—namely, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region and surrounding areas (BTHS), the Yangtze River Delta (YRD), and the Pearl River Delta (PRD)—based on data of GDP and the concentrations of SO2, PM10, and NO2 for 31 provinces in China from 2000 to 2019. The results show that the SO2, PM10, and NO2 pollution in the key regions show strong and weak decoupling. The findings additionally indicate that government policies have played a significant role in improving the decoupling between air pollution and economic development. The decoupling between economic growth and SO2 and PM10 pollution in the BTHS, YRD, and PRD is better than that in other regions, while the decoupling between economic growth and NO2 pollution has not improved significantly in these regions. To improve the relationship between economic growth and air pollution, we suggest that the governments of China and other developing countries should further optimize and adjust the structure of industry, energy, and transportation; apply more stringent targets and measures in areas of serious air pollution; and strengthen mobile vehicle pollution control.

The study examined the role played by HCD in the economic development of Kenya between 2002 and 2014 by interrogating the development models adopted by South Korea and Singapore as a benchmark to determine the gaps in the model adopted by Kenya. Despite Kenya, Singapore and South Korea exhibiting similar income levels in the 1960s, the gap between Kenya’s economic growth and those of South Korea and Singapore has widened tremendously since independence in 1963. Kenya has recorded low Gross Domestic Product (GDP) compared to the two Asian countries. The researcher relied on secondary data sourced from national, regional and international websites and organizations. The data collected was corroborated with data sourced from government offices and websites. Data sets from the three countries was used to examine the extent to which HCD practices affect economic growth for the purposes of deriving the best HCD practices from South Korea and Singapore that influence economic growth. The design therefore necessitated causality analysis using the Granger Causality Test and correlational and regression analysis that facilitated the measurement, development and assessment of the statistical significance of the causal relationships among the study variables. The model variables included GDP as the response variable explained by six predictor variables; government expenditure on education, human development index, average years of schooling as a proxy for percentage of population that has attained education, patents filed by the countries, government effectiveness and government expenditure on research and development. Findings revealed that HCD had a great influence on economic development of a country. Findings further revealed that whereas human development index was found to be positively correlated to economic growth in South Korea and Singapore, it was negatively (inversely) correlated to economic growth in Kenya. To achieve sustained economic growth, the study recommends that the provision of education be strengthened to ensure successful implementation of Competency Based Curriculum with the government laying more emphasis on applied R&D.

The Impact

Based on China’s provincial panel data from 1990 to 2017 and the improved Lucas, Nelson & Phelps model, the Spatial Dubin Model is used to test the spatial effects of higher education and human capital quality. The results showed that high-level human capital, characterized by higher education and urban labor income index, indirectly promoted local economic growth through technological innovation. There was also a “local-neighborhood” synergy effect. The neighborhood effect was manifested in that it affected the economic development of neighbors by promoting technological catch-up. After considering the quality factor, both the local and neighborhood effects were enhanced. From a regional perspective, higher education in the Yangtze River Delta, where the level of economic development is relatively high, was manifested as a spatial spillover effect of technological innovation and the neighborhood effect in the northeastern Bohai Rim and the Pearl River Delta was manifested as a technological catch-up.

The failure of western economists to identify the factors that cause of the differences in economic growth within a country over time and differences in economic growth between countries are because of their weaknesses and ignorance. Besides, the ignorance of the role of science in the early emergence of the theory of economic development, until now they still deny the presence of the grace of Allah SWT as the most important factor causing the ongoing economic development of the people. Because of the high value of science in Islam, then the mastery of science comprehensively and completely will allow Muslims to build its economy. However, economic development of the people will never apply without the blessing of Allah through His grace stream. This paper is to review and uncover the weakness of western economic growth theory since the theory was first initiated. Although, initially the western economists had ignored the role of science as one important indicator of economic development, then in the end of 2nd millennium they have that mastery of knowledge is absolutely necessary to develop the economy of the country. It is clearly shown that finally the western economists were forced to admit the truth of the words of Allah that has been poured in the Muslim holy book, Al Qur'an, about the importance of the role of sciences in life in this world. ========================================================================================================Kegagalan para ahli ekonomi barat untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya perbedaan pertumbuhan ekonomi dalam sebuah negara dari masa ke masa dan perbedaan pertumbuhan ekonomi antar negara adalah mutlak disebabkan oleh kedhaifan dan kejahilan mereka sendiri. Selain sempat mengabaikan peran ilmu pengetahuan pada awal-awal kemunculan teori pembangunan ekonomi, hingga detik ini mereka masih menafikan kehadiran rahmat Allah SWT sebagai faktor terpenting penyebab berlangsungnya pembangunan ekonomi umat. Karena tingginya nilai ilmu pengetahuan dalam Islam, maka penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan secara komprehensif dan benar jelas akan memudahkan umat Islam untuk membangun ekonominya. Namun, pembangunan ekonomi umat tidak akan pernah berlaku tanpa mendapat restu Allah SWT melalui cucuran rahmatNya. Tulisan ini meninjau dan menguak kedhaifan teori pertumbuhan ekonomi barat sejak teori itu pertama kali digagaskan. Walaupun pada awalnya para ahli ekonomi barat sempat mengabaikan peran ilmu pengetahuan sebagai salah satu indikator penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi, namun di akhir milineum ke-2 mereka telah menyadari bahwa penguasaan ilmu pengetahuan adalah mutlak diperlukan untuk membangun ekonomi negara. Ini, secara jelas, menunjukkan bahwa, akhirnya, para ahli ekonomi barat terpaksa mengakui kebenaran kata-kata Allah SWT yang telah dituangkan dalam kitab suci umat Islam, al-Qur'an tentang pentingnya peran ilmu pengetahuan dalam menjalani kehidupan di dunia fana ini.

The paper is devoted to examining of theoretical and practical aspects of introduction of the Regions’ Inclusive Development Index. At current stage, the works of contemporary foreign and domestic scientists are focused on the research of inclusive development and inclusive growth, where they more or less outline substantial misbalances of global economy growth models – GDP volumes growth is accompanied by inharmonious distribution of income between the entities, leading to stratification of population and aggravating poverty – and suggest a new balanced model of economic growth of socio-economic systems with growing involvement of all residents in economic growth processes and fair distribution of their results. Growing gaps in regions’ development, low credibility of GRP per capita in terms of estimation of socio-economic development of territories, their competitive ability and problematic nature objectively cause the need to introduce a new aggregated index to systemically and complexly make constructive managerial decisions to overcome negative tendencies, to conduct efficient state regional policy and to provide state financial assistance. The author’s approach to introduction of «Region’s Inclusive Development Index» in Ukraine at the level of regions, which is an analogue to international «Inclusive Development Index», which should show the growth (fall) of residents’ welfare in the region more comprehensively and promote achievement of European standards of the quality of life, which correspond to the principles of inclusive growth. The results of calculations of suggested Region’s Inclusive Development Index and comparative analysis by the rate of GRP per capita in followup of socio-economic development of Ukrainian regions in 2016-2017 show the reasonability of introducing this criterion as far as it reveals the advantages and defects of each region’s socio-economic development.

Introduction. For a long time, the world academic community has been in search for ways, methods, tools and techniques of driving economic growth. The current trends in economic studies have made researchers admit that market economy is unable to solve the key social problems, and that economic growth is not enough for the fully-fledged development of the country. Therefore, discussing the concept of inclusive economic development is currently of great importance. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to examine the genesis of the concept of inclusive economic development, to highlight its main theoretical foundations, to study methods of calculating inclusive development index (IDI), and analyse the countries ranking under the IDI. Methods. The following general and special methods are used to achieve the purpose of the research paper: induction and induction, logical generalization, analysis and synthesis, comparison, grouping. Results. The paper provides a rationale for the concept of inclusive economic development, its genesis and chronology. The conceptual framework for inclusive economic development is examined through the lens of the key terms used in the research. The distinctive nature of aims for inclusive growth compared with those of economic growth is illustrated. A new indicator of the growth rate estimation in the economy – inclusive development index (IDI) – is analyzed as well as the main groups of indicators that are used to calculate the former. The countries ranking under the IDI and countries rating under the GDP per capita are compared. The position of Ukraine in the ranking of countries under the IDI is analyzed. The reasons that led to a low position of Ukraine in the overall ranking of countries are formulated.

Monetary Income

The transition to market relations and the corresponding structural changes in economy influenced the formation of incomes, their use and distribution system. The largest share in the structure of monetary income of the population is wages; it has increased in recent years. At the same time, there occurred the decline in production in the process of market transformation economy and, as a consequence, forced underemployment and unemployment of a large part of the working population, lack legislative levers of influence on the regulation of the property process stratification of the population led to a decline in living standards, deepening its stratification by the level of cash income and distribution of property, the inability of the majority of the population to do savings, spreading the shadow of monetary income of citizens, hiding them from taxation. This led to a reduction in the effective demand of the population, narrowing the volume of domestic market, reducing opportunities for domestic investment resources and restraint of economic growth of the state. The country’s economic growth is observed from year to year, it directly depends on the welfare of the population and their income. Socio-economic development of the country is impossible without the participation of the population and accumulation of human capital, investment in it. Structural changes in Ukraine’s economy – human capital index, average income, migration processes, declining total population – have negative consequences for economic growth in the country as a whole. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study this issue, taking into account all possible prospects. The peculiarities of these indicators specify the development of any country, where one of the main macroeconomic goals is due to the need to outpace the growth of national income in comparison with the growth of the index of human capital and income of citizens. The economic development of the country concerns money and the increase of the general welfare of the population. The way to improve the better life and economic development of the country is possible taking into account the transformation processes, but achieving this involves solving a set of goals and objectives facing governments at all levels. Economic and social development of the oblasts of Ukraine seeks to be better today. The delimitation of oblasts is caused by the level of the average wage, as well as the total per capita income. The study of indicators of socio-economic development requires clear and precise actions on the part of the state and local self-government. The creation of development strategies for a certain period helps to improve the situation in the oblasts of Ukraine, but it is a temporary phenomenon that is not a managed system in some cases. Currently, there is a problem of economic development, social protection of low-income groups and health care, retirement-age people and so on. All human and civil rights are equal and interrelated, and therefore they must be equally protected by the state: human’s life and health, honour and dignity, inviolability and security are the highest social values (Article 3); free development of personality (Article 23) is determined by the Constitution of Ukraine. The study outlines the relationship and interdependence of local budget revenues from subsidies and subventions of the state budget, economic activity of the population, as well as the unemployment rate is an important indicator of the general state of the economy.
