“…In the assessment of renewable energy conversion efficiency within the Northern European context, a set of indicators has been meticulously selected according to references for integration into the proposed behavioral DEA model, where each is assigned a specific role as either an input or an output [14,[40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. As shown in Figure 1, traditional energy production (Input 1), quantified through the gigawatt-hours (GWh) of electricity generated from fossil fuels, has been included as an input to serve as a foundational comparison point for the efficiency of renewable sources.…”

Northern European nations are at the forefront of renewable energy adoption but face challenges in optimizing energy conversion efficiency. There is a lack of detailed understanding of how behavioral factors affect the efficiency of renewable energy conversion in these countries. This study aims to evaluate and compare the renewable energy conversion efficiency of Northern European countries, intending to inform strategic policy making and identify best practices for technology deployment in the renewable energy sector. Employing a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, the study integrates behavioral economic parameters—specifically, the aversion loss and gain significance coefficients—to assess the efficiency of renewable energy conversion, accounting for psychological factors in decision making. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis was conducted, varying the gain significance coefficient while maintaining the aversion loss coefficient at constant levels. This experiment was designed to observe the impact of behavioral parameters on the efficiency ranking of each country. The analysis revealed that Latvia consistently ranked highest in efficiency, irrespective of the gain significance valuation, whereas Iceland consistently ranked lowest. Other countries demonstrated varying efficiency rankings with changes in gain significance, indicating different behavioral economic influences on their renewable energy sectors. Theoretically, the study enhances the DEA framework by integrating behavioral economics, offering a more holistic view of efficiency in renewable energy. Practically, it provides a benchmarking perspective that can guide policy and investment in renewable energy, with sensitivity analysis underscoring the importance of considering behavioral factors. The research offers a practical tool for policymakers and energy stakeholders to align renewable energy strategies with behavioral incentives, aiming to improve the adoption and effectiveness of these initiatives.

A Composited Regret-Theory-Based Spherical Fuzzy Prioritization Approach for Moving High-Tech Manufacturing in Southeast Asia

2023

After the pandemic, global supply chains will be in the process of restructuring. The relocation of production lines among countries is being considered for the purpose of sustainable development. The problem of determining the most suitable destination for manufacturers’ investments will become important, especially in the field of manufacturing high-tech products, which involves many complicated factors such as technological maturity, support policies, political issues, and technology security. In that context, Southeast Asia is seen as one of the regions attracting multinational manufacturers. To address this problem, a novel composited regret-theory-based spherical fuzzy prioritization approach is proposed. On the one hand, the super-efficiency slack-based model (super-SBM) of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is applied to evaluate efficiency, based on indicators. On the other hand, the novel spherical fuzzy regret-theory-based decision-making approach (SfRDMA) is developed and introduced to determine effectiveness, based on criteria. Then, the efficiency and the effectiveness of countries are combined by a composite-score function that is based on a geometric mean and an arithmetic mean. The findings imply that government policy, political stability, and human resources availability are the three most important criteria. Moreover, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia are identified as promising destinations for the world’s high-tech production lines.

“…However, Malaysia lacks proper geothermal energy resource location research. 52 In 2009, the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology, and Water (KeT-THA) established a comprehensive platform for developing renewable energy in Malaysia by establishing the National Renewable Policy and Action Plan. This strategy aims to increase the use of renewable energy to contribute to the security of the nation's electricity supply and longterm socioeconomic growth.…”

<p>Indonesia and Malaysia will continue to engage in violent and protracted border conflicts over natural resources due to limited natural resources. Due to the scarcity and abundance of renewable resources, there are border disputes between Indonesia and Malaysia. Illegal fishing is a concern for both countries. This study aimed to determine the management of Indonesia-Malaysia coastal natural resource disputes. This was normative legal research that employed statutory, empirical, and case methods. The study found that Indonesia and Malaysia need to strengthen their laws as a follow-up to their bilateral agreements, considering that illegal activities often occur along land and sea borders. Another problem is that maritime regulations in Indonesia and Malaysia have different problems and challenges, ranging from the lack of specific regulations to the existence of illegal activities on the sea and land borders of each country. The laws governing maritime sector activities are vulnerable to institutional conflicts due to overlapping regulations and legislation resulting from cross-border processing at maritime borders. Therefore, from a regulatory perspective, it is necessary to strengthen various existing regulations.</p>
