“…Several studies attempted to determine the links between infrastructure industry and economic progress from empirical as well as theoretical perspectives. In this regard, Berk and Biçen 35 investigated the linkage between infrastructure and the GDP in Turkey during 2000–2016. They used the Granger causality test.…”

Although urban agglomerations have introduced substantial contributions to the economies around the globe, it has also led to the serious environmental challenges. However, this situation may vary across the development levels. The existing knowledge offers a gap in terms of both theoretical and empirical grounds. The Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence, and Technology (STIRPAT) is previously not known to incorporate land agglomeration and the intensity of energy use. Besides, the investigation of linkages among the variables of interest across the development levels within a country is not known to be considered by the existing knowledge. This study systematically investigates the heterogeneous dynamic causality among the intensity of energy use, land agglomeration, carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), and economic progress across the development levels in the Chinese economy, considering 29 provinces for the period 2000 to 2018. To this end, a long-term co-integration association is tested and found existent among the variables of interest. A dynamic common correlated effects mean group approach is applied for impact analysis. The key findings include: The impacts of economic progress and land agglomeration on CO2 are found positive and significant in the country panel and western zone of China (WZC). It turned to be neutral in the case of the central zone of China (CZC) and significantly negative in the eastern zone of China (EZC). To this end, economic progress presented a ‘development ladder-based CO2 mitigation effect,’ while the land agglomeration exposed the ‘land agglomeration ladder-based CO2 mitigation effect’. Further, the causalities extracted are: first, economic progress is found in positive bilateral linkages with the intensity of energy use and land agglomeration for all the panels. Second, a positive and unilateral causal bridge is found operating from land agglomeration to the intensity of energy use and from the intensity of energy use to CO2. Third, a unilateral linkage of mixed nature is exposed to exist from land agglomeration to CO2, with positive causal links for country panel and WZC, negative causal links for EZC, while a neutral linkage is found for CZC. Fourth, a bidirectional link with mixed causalities appeared in the country panel and WZC. Economic progress increased CO2 in WZC. Next, a negative bilateral link is observed between the two variables in EZC. Additionally, this link remained neutral in CZC. Based on empirics, it is revealed that the development level matters in determining the links among the variables of interest.

“…Legal research is traditionally considered to be doctrinal. Doctrinal legal research (Research in Law) is concerned with the formulation of legal doctrines through the analysis of legal rules (Chynoweth, 2008). The existence of legal doctrines made it easier for practitioners in deciding which rule to apply in a particular situation.…”

“…This traditional doctrinal legal research approach has been a subject of serious suspicion by other built environment researchers who struggled to recognize its outputs as a credible research contribution as it does refer to methodological approach common to other fields of studies (Chynoweth 2008). In many academic legal publications, research design and accounts of methods used are not discussed in detail and usually, validity issues are ignored altogether (Langbroek et al, 2017).…”

“…The construction industry is one among numerous sectors of an economy that make significant contributions to the socio-economic development of a country. It directly affects the economy of a country by providing huge employment opportunities to unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled sections of the community of a country and indirectly through exploiting goods and services produced by other subsectors (Berk and Bicen 2017). The construction industry also fuels the economy of a country as a result of its strong multiplier effect through a complex system of linkages with other sectors, and therefore, the growth of all the economic sub-sectors such as modern agriculture, manufacturing, and the like is inconceivable without the construction industry.…”

Time, money, and quality are the three basic criteria for measuring construction project efficiency. The Ethiopian construction sector in general and public work projects, in particular, are believed to suffer from inefficiencies despite their quantitative growth in recent years. Previous researches have made attempts to explore factors determining the efficiency of the sector such as the low capacity of contractors (both financial and equipment, shortage of skilled human resource on technical, managerial, and entrepreneurial skills, etc…), the poor performances of the supply chain, inflation in the economy and so on. However, process and system-based challenges of the sector resulting from the existing legal frameworks governing the sector such as the modes of delivery of projects (modes of contracting) have not been a subject of extensive study. In this study, doctrinal and nondoctrinal legal research methods are employed to explore project delivery system(s) recognized in Ethiopia's public work contract laws and appraise their efficiency in terms of ensuring prompt completion of public construction projects. The doctrinal aspect of the research exposed that, despite an implied recognition of Design-Build (DB) and its variant forms of project delivery system, the country's public work contract laws set up Design-Bid-Build (DBB) as a default mode of contracting. Besides, the result from a survey questionnaire of 158 respondents which was computed by using Research Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to generate the Relative Importance Index (RII) of each mode of contracting corroborated by primary data derived from the completion and status report of 40 road and 9 building projects, shows that even though construction project time overrun (delay) often happens in both routes of contracting, the magnitude of such inefficiency is greater in public projects of DBB than DB delivery mode.

“…Dalam konstruksi, nilai tambah ril yang alhasil dari sana akan menambah nilai PDRB di negara tersebut dengan membelanjakan bahan-bahan untuk pembangunan (Jiang, 2013). Ada dikatakan bahwa Konstruksi akan sangat berpengaruh ke nilai pendapatan negara secara cepat setelah bidang industry sama seperti Kota yang kita tinggal disini yaitu Batam (Berk & Biçen, 2017). Pada tahun 1930, Amerika Serikat mengalami penurunan sehingga melakukan analisis PDRB yang ada disana dan berusaha untuk mempertimbangkan (Papell & Prodan, 2012).…”

butuhkan pendapatan untuk mendukung pemerintah dalam memajukan pertumbuhan ekonomi.Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis apa yang membuat perekonomian tumbuh lebih cepat. Setelah kita menganalisa lebih jauh, kita memutuskan untuk memilih “pariwisata “Seperti topik kita karena Batam mendapat rekor peringkat ke-2 setelah Bali, misalkan PDRB akan lebih banyak. Kita sebagai mahasiswa perlu mengetahui dan mempelajari darimana asal pendapatan Kota Batam dan kegunaannya untuk membangun infrastruktur yang sebagian Pendapatan tersebut berasal dari sektor pariwisata, oleh karena itu kami akan menganalisis semua pengukuran pendapatan dan produk domestik bruto kota Batam melalui sektor pariwisata.Selain Pariwisata, konstruksi juga membuat domestik bruto Batam menjadi lebih tinggi yaitu memegang 21,67%. dari 100% yang juga mendukung di bidang pariwisata seperti akomodasi, tempat rekreasi, atau museum.
