“…In practical problems, because of the inaccuracy of the measurement or the subjectivity of the selected index, it is difficult to make the measurement. The difference between the actual value and the standard value of the parameters is large, so it is necessary to use robustness to control the stability of the system [61]. As for the data standardization and uncertainty in the selection and construction of comprehensive indicators in this study, the robustness analysis was used to test the comprehensive development level of urbanization.…”

“…As for the data standardization and uncertainty in the selection and construction of comprehensive indicators in this study, the robustness analysis was used to test the comprehensive development level of urbanization. For the original index, the maximum method, the minimum method, and the average method were applied to the 2019 data from counties in Shaanxi Province, calculating the index by the value method and rank method [61]. Each index was ranked to increase the credibility of the results.…”

The 14th Five-Year Plan of China proposes promoting urbanization construction, with counties as an important carrier. In order to evaluate the urbanization development level of counties in Western China, this study established an index system of population, land, and industry, constructed the coupling coordination model, selected Shaanxi Province as a representative case, and evaluated the comprehensive development level and its coordination degree of urbanization at the county level. The results show that: (1) there are two stages of urbanization in Western counties, namely "increment" and "quality improvement"; (2) county urbanization in Western China radiates from central cities, presenting the characteristics of a "core-edge" circle structure. Northern Shaanxi has significant spatial difference characteristics, the coordination and development level of the Guanzhong area are both in the lead, and Southern Shaanxi is still in the stage of weak level coordination; (3) unlike urbanization in metropolises, urbanization in Western counties is mainly driven by industrial agglomeration instead of land urbanization. However, population outflow is an obstacle to the urbanization of Western counties. The evaluation of the coordinated development of county urbanization can provide a theoretical basis and practical path for enhancing public service functions in counties, guiding urban–rural harmonious development.

“…Its results are presented below. This is a fundamental step to validate the exercise soundness (Drago and Gatto, 2018;Nardo et al, 2005). The following tests have been ran: i) an equal weight estimate, ii) a subjective weight based on the dimensions of sustainability (economic, social, environmental, and governance dimensions, Meadows et al, 1972), iii) and a data aggregation through the Borda method.…”

Vulnerability has garnered an increasing attention from academia, international community and industry. Nonetheless, formal definition, mainstreaming, and measurement of vulnerability are still flawed in the economic literature. Energy vulnerability, intended as the exposure of an energy system to adverse events and change, often overlaps with other energy policy concepts such as resilience, security, poverty, justice, and sustainability. This paper improves understanding of vulnerability in economics, energy, and sustainability studies by: i) constructing a dataset on energy vulnerability made of 180.000 observations; ii) formally defining energy vulnerability, while considering the regulatory framework and development agenda; iii) building a composite indicator on energy vulnerability; iv) analyzing and ranking the energy vulnerability of a vast number of OECD and non-OECD countries; v) testing for robustness checks. The analysis suggests that GDP is not necessarily a leading driver for energy vulnerability, whilst resource embedment is, since fossil and renewable energy producers are less vulnerable. Eventually, the paper validates that green countries are less vulnerable, differently from cold, heavily-industrialized, and highlyconsuming countries.

This work explores the case study of L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele as a best practice of traditional speciality guaranteed and international franchising. Besides being one of the most ancient and successful pizzerias in Naples, da Michele is renowned all over the world for the quality of its raw products, dough processing, and output. In the last years, da Michele also started pioneering the pizza production and commerce industry with an innovative franchising model and a new company appointed to managing this latter business. This work makes use of in-depth interviews and data collected on the field. For such scope, top managers and employees of both the local and the international companies were interviewed. The study finds that da Michele managed to become a benchmark for territorial food products and, more recently, for high-standard franchising, jumpstarting a successful brand-new company and food business project.
