“…In recent years, some authors attend to build energy-economy-environment models have increased gradually as well [27][28][29][30]. However, there are few studies on the dynamic coordinated development of the energy structure and industrial structure.…”

In this research, we established a System Dynamics Model named “E&I-SD” to study the development of the energy structure and industrial structure in China from 2000 to 2030 using Vensim Simulation Software based on energy economy theory, system science theory and coordinated development theory. We used Direct Structure Test, Structure-oriented Behavior Test, and Behavior Pattern Test to ensure the optimal operation of the system. The model’s results showed that the indicators of total energy consumption, total added value of GDP after regulation, energy consumption per capita, and GDP per capita were on the rise in China, but emissions per unit of energy showed a downward trend. Separately, the model predicted average annual growth rates in China through 2030. Based on these findings, we proposed important policies for China’s sustainable development. Firstly, short- and long-term policy measures should be implemented to replace fossil fuels with clean energy. Secondly, the utilization efficiency of raw coal should be appraised future. The planning should provide for steady development and improvement of the primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors. Thirdly, the mid- and long-term plans for development and management of various industrial sectors and the corresponding energy consumption should be based on technological trends. Finally, a market-oriented pricing mechanism for energy should be established in China as soon as possible.

“…In addition, another issue that should be defined is whether the models are based on simple distance functions or directional distance functions. In the first case of studies, the adjustments of desirable and undesirable outputs are headed to the same direction after all undesirable outputs have been transformed mainly by using their reciprocals [34][35][36], whilst in the second case these could be realized to opposite directions [37][38][39]. In addition, before the formulation of a DEA model, one should also consider if the adjustments of inputs or outputs would be proportional or non-proportional.…”

Testing for Environmental Kuznets Curve in the EU Agricultural Sector through an Eco-(in)Efficiency Index

2017

Studies on agricultural production practices advance within international literature and new methods are proposed in order to assess the agricultural sustainability, either at farm or macro level. The present paper builds on these advancements and develops a synthetic Eco-(in)efficiency index by employing a directional distance function-data envelopment analysis (DEA) model. This index is used in order to assess the sustainability of the EU agricultural sector for the period 1999-2012 on a country level. Furthermore, Eco-(in)efficiency, together with the energy use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are regressed on the gross domestic product (GDP) of EU countries, in order to check for any environmental Kuznets curve relationship existence. Results signify that efficiency improvements are possible, both towards output development and GHG emissions reduction. In addition, the potential of each country in adopting more sustainable production practices is not totally connected with its economic development, as Eco-(in)efficiency and GDP levels of EU countries seem to be linked with an N-Shaped curve.

“…Likewise, it is the second country (after Luxembourg) which has contributed most per capita to the Green Fund for Climate of the United Nations for the period 2015-2018 (United Nations, 2015). Luxembourg is a different case (Suzuki and Nijkamp, 2016). Its economy is very peculiar and its efficiency is due in part to its reduction of energy consumption and emissions during the period despite the GDP having grown.…”
