“…From Figure 2, it can be seen that IE shows an increasing trend (decreasing after 2019) and CE shows a slow decreasing trend in general. The fluctuation of IE in 2019 is related to the impact of the new crown epidemic on the development of the real economy (Takyi et al, 2023). As China's national attention to carbon reduction and emission reduction continues to increase, and policy pilots continue to grow, carbon emissions will also show a significant downward trend (Feng et al, 2024).…”

The digital economy has the characteristics of resource conservation, which can solve China’s high carbon emissions problems. The digital economy can quickly integrate with the real economy, forming an integrated economy. However, it is still unclear whether an integrated economy can effectively reduce carbon emissions and achieve China’s ‘dual carbon goals’. Therefore, this study takes 30 provinces in China as the research object, constructs the integration economy index system through the statistical data from 2011-2021, and explores the spatial effect of the impact of the integration economy on carbon emissions by using principal component analysis, coupled coordination model and spatial econometric model. The research results are as follows. (1) From 2011 to 2021, the comprehensive economy showed a trend of increasing yearly (from 0.667 to 0.828), and carbon emissions showed a slow decrease (from 0.026 to 0.017). (2) Due to the infiltration of China’s economic development from the eastern to the western, the spatial distribution of the integrated economy shows a decreasing trend from east to west. The spatial distribution of carbon emissions may be related to China’s industrial layout of heavy industry in the northern, and light industry in the southern, showing a trend of low in the south and high in the north. (3) The integrated economy can significantly reduce carbon emissions (the coefficients of influence, -0.146), and the reduction effect will be more obvious if spatial spillover effects are taken into account (-0.305). (4) The eastern coast, the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the middle reaches of the Yellow River economic zones all increase carbon emissions at a certain level of significance (0.065, 0.148, and 3.890). The Northeast, South Coastal and Southwest economic zones significantly reduce carbon emissions (-0.220, -0.092, and -0.308). The results of the Northern Coast and Northwest are not significant (-0.022 and 0.095). (5) China should tailor regional economic development policies, such as strengthening investment in digital infrastructure in the Northwest Economic Zone and fully leveraging the spatial spillover effects of integrated economy in the Northeast, Southern Coastal, and Southwest Economic Zones to reduce carbon emissions.

“…Intuitively, literature across economics and development studies have found various negative effects of COVID-19 across sectors ( [30] on the banking sector; [31] on the water sector regulation; [32] on the marine sector management; [33] on the mental healthcare reforms; [34] on the childcare sector; [35] on the economic effects of livelihoods; [36] on the broadband sector). Mostly observations till date from prevalent body of literature suggest that existence of pandemics and its associated uncertainty have busted economic growth negatively in varied forms across the globe [ 25 , 37 , 38 ]. Considering the existing gamut of literature into the consideration, this study seeks to examine the impacts of COVID-19 upon the economy and health sector in particular post 2020 in order to evaluate the performance the sampled economies considered for our analysis.…”

“…Latin America experienced one of the largest economic contractions in its history due to the pandemic, increasing unemployment and poverty conditions in the region (11). Similarly, pandemic had major negative repercussions on employment and economic stability of small and medium-sized enterprises, since, despite aid programs to ensure their survival, a large 10.25100/iyc.v25i3.12555 number of companies were forced to close (12).…”

Simulation results on the employment resilience under a health emergency environment in Colombia South America are presented. The system is characterized by identifying the different relevant variables which are reflected in the causal and Forrester diagrams simulated through the VENSIM PLE x64 program. Results show a resilient in the employment variable behaviour in terms of entrepreneurship and new companies generation, which reflects a potential economic development in the country under an uncertainty scenario. On the other hand, model accuracy is influenced by indicators changes along simulation time included in the analysis. Finally, it is concluded that the employment behaviour under the health emergency panorama is fluctuating but tends to increase in the last months in the time horizon simulation. However, it is highlighted that this situation can take another path if decision making is not adequate.
