“…(3) Integrated policy modeling (Liang et al, 2013) should be conducted for policy analysis to find the best set of policies for reducing the environmental pressure indicators. There are already many tools for integrated policy modeling, e.g., the MARKAL model is employed by Gielen and Changhong (2001) to analyze the optimal set of policies for the reduction of SO 2 , NOx, and CO 2 in Shanghai; the GAINS model is used by Liu et al (2013) to assess the co-benefits of different policies for emission reductions of SO 2 , NOx, PM, and CO 2 in Beijing. This paper uses Chongqing as a case to study the socioeconomic drivers of environmental pressures on the city level through the SDA framework.…”

Abstract:The cost of environmental degradation has already had a dramatic impact on the Chinese economy. In order to curb these trends, the government of China has introduced stricter regulations. With this in mind, it is important to quantify the potential co-benefits of introducing air pollution and climate change mitigation policies. This study proposes relevant scenarios ranging from the current trends (baseline) to the introduction of different policies in the thermal power sector, including different carbon tax rates, technology innovation promotion, and technology cost reduction methods. We aim to comparatively evaluate the impact of the proposed policies within the thermal sector and within the entire socio-economic system. To this end, we used a dynamic input-output (I-O) model, into which high-efficiency technologies were incorporated as new thermal power industries in order to estimate policy impact during the time period 2010-2025. The results of this study demonstrated that the introduction of one or more of the following policies: carbon taxes, subsidies, technology innovation, and technology cost reduction, has no notable impact on the environment or the economy without the implementation of environment regulations. In contrast, the strong support of a government subsidy coupled with strict environmental regulations will promote technological innovation, for example through the natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) and the integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC). Our study also showed that the reduction of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions as well as energy consumption would curb economic development to a certain extent. Taking this into consideration, innovation must also be promoted in other economic sectors. This research provides a strong reference for policy-makers to identify effective polices under different types of environmental regulations.

“…The notion of compact city is made up by aspects of urban density, from the 2030 plan for the city o f Melbourne, Australia (Chhetri et al 2013). Other initiatives refer to the circular city model (Lin and Wu 2015) and gas emission (Liu et al 2013 ), called multi-city model.…”

The aim of this study is to develop a new tool to foster entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation in cit ies. The tool consists of transformative dimensions, able to synthesize, assemble and embrace the notions of entrepreneurial city, creative and innovative. Then it seeks to illustrate the operation of the city model proposed taking into account 51 Cities Master Plans in Brazil. The study is exploratory and adopts a reflexive methodology. The main innovative result is the entrepreneurial city model tool which meets five essential transformative dimensions: value proposition, customers, value configurations, strategic partnerships and revenue model. The entrepreneurial city model tool proposed aims to increase the dynamics understanding of the procedural flow in the city context, from the entrepreneurial activity perspective. This process flows dynamics can be expressed in the city, for example, in the planning, implementation and actions monitoring, programs, projects and public policies directed to notions of entrepreneurial city, creative and innovative. The innovative results of this research have several practical implications, among which are: (1) public management in the city; (2) public policy makers; (3) researchers and scholars; (4) human resource professionals.
