“…This means that to encourage an increase in the welfare of the people in ASEAN, cooperation with Japan, China and Korea is the right choice if, with such cooperation, the economic growth in ASEAN countries tends to increase, if the growth of Japan, China and Japan needs to be increased rapidly revaluation of cooperation agreements with the three developed countries. This finding is in line with the results of research conducted by Andreano et al (2013), which explains that the degree of economic openness, government intervention and government expenditure is an important control variable in achieving per capita GDP convergence in MENA countries.…”

Global economy has currently integrated and has been interdependent between the developing and developed countries. The improved integration and interdependence level is expected to improve citizens’ welfare. This study aims at testing the correlation between fiscal and trade policies and welfare in ASEAN countries + 3 countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos + Japan, China, and Korea). It used the secondary data from World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB) and Economist Intelligence Unit from 1990 to 2015. The analysis uses the POLS-ECM (Panel Ordinary Least Square-Eagle Granger Error Correction Model). The results of analysis show that economic growth, infrastructure capital expenditure, economic openness, and tax ratio had a significant effect on welfare ASEAN + 3 countries

“…In other words, steady-state convergence still emerges but not necessarily at the same long-term levels; instead, it is linked to the unique characteristics (e.g., factor intensity or institutions) of each country. On the other hand, convergence clubs emerge from the presence of multiple and locally stable steady-state balance and thus refers to the convergence of economies with similar characteristics (Philippe Monfort 2008;M. Simona Andreano, Lucio Laureti, and Paolo Postiglione 2013).…”

The issue of convergence has been discussed in many theoretical and empirical studies. Because per capita electricity consumption is considered as an indication of economic development, this study aims to determine the presence of "absolute and conditional beta (β) convergence" of per capita total electricity consumption across the provinces of Turkey between 1986 and 2013. This work is the first investigation of electricity consumption convergence in Turkey. Based on the annual balanced panel data and the spatial panel data model, our findings indicate absolute β convergence of per capita electricity consumption across the provinces of Turkey. We conclude that regional policies are successful in reducing regional disparities in per capita electricity consumption among the provinces of Turkey. However, other indicators of economic development should be examined to determine the overall convergence.

“…In general, a greater PGDP makes sustainable development of the industrial economy more likely. This is because a city with a relatively higher PGDP pays more attention to the quality of industrial economic development, and does not focus solely on the scale of the industrial economy [30]. Therefore, we assume a positive correlation between PGDP and PIGD; an increase in the PGDP is expected to have a positive impact on the PIGD.…”

Measuring the Performance of Industrial Green Development Using a Non-Radial Directional Distance Function Approach: A Case Study of Jiangxi Province in China

et al. 2017

Abstract:The industrial sector is a major contributor to resource consumption and environmental pollution in China. The energy-intensive industrial development and energy structure are dominated by coal, which has produced an enormous amount of industrial pollutants in China, and put great pressure on the ecological environment. Hence, improving the performance of industrial green development (PIGD) has become an urgent task of utmost importance. This study applies a global non-radial directional distance function to estimate the PIGD for Jiangxi Province during [2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015], and provides targeted policy suggestions. The empirical results show a rising trend in the PIGD in Jiangxi Province. At the city level, Nanchang and Fuzhou performed considerably better than other cities in regards to their PIGD. However, the poor environmental performance caused by the excessive discharge of industrial pollutants has also hindered its PIGD. Most cities in Jiangxi Province failed to efficiently use resources, especially energy and labor, in industrial production. The results of the influencing factor analysis show that the performance of industrial green development in Jiangxi could be improved through increasing per capita GDP, decreasing the share of coal consumption in the total industrial energy consumption, and decreasing the share of industrial GDP in the total GDP. Furthermore, a more efficient use of environmental management investment funds and timely transfer of the surplus industrial labor are needed.
