    Study on simulation and drives of urban temporal-spatial evolutionary features can offer references in planning urban development and managing land resources. This paper uses urban spatial expansion identification mode, spatial expansion features measuring indicators and PLUS model to study Chongqing's 1980 to 2020 urban expansion mode in its downtown, to analyze its spatial pattern changing features and to forecast the future expanding trend with revealing its drives. During 1980 to 2020, as Chongqing had a slowly rising all-directional expansion differentiation in its downtown area, its urban fragmentation has been worsening with an expansion model of “multiple-directional, multiple extended wings and multiple banded” and a pattern of “west-fast-east-slow, southwest-northeast extension”. Chongqing's downtown had experienced a rising-then-falling trend in its expansion speed and intensity, with its urban expanding direction from inner and marginal filling to exterior and urban morphology from compacting to loose, fragmentated and irregular distribution during the study period. Chongqing's downtown will expand to its vicinity in 2030, slowly, of much differentiated expanding directions, mostly influenced by economy and planning policies. Topography, GDP, distance to waters/roads, and development planning are the major drives in impacting its expanding speed. Limited by geographic conditions, under “multiple-directional, multiple-banded” urban pattern, social economic factors mainly on economy, transportation and policies are the key drives for its downtown's spatial expansion. This paper presents suggestions on fulfilling functions of economic strategy, improving economic cooperation with surrounding cities, boosting investments on infrastructure, reinforcing radiation of center city to upgrade urban internal structure and to lead the regional development. Chongqing shall incorporate eco-environmental protection into the future planning, including ecological protection areas, natural protection areas and farmland protection areas, increase resources use efficiency and plan a coordinated sustainability of city and environment.

    Discussions on solar radiation modification (SRM) to harness global climate change in academic domain have been rising. This paper gives an interpretation of IPCC ARR regarding its SRM's risks and obstacles on nature and society. SRM serves as an imperfect supplement in carbon emission reduction and removal, can offset radiation from manmade green gas emission through influencing the earth's radiation balance, reaching a fast cooling down and decrease other climatic hazards, but SRM has no solution to source of green gas, whose impacts on nature and human will remain with its rising concentration. Effectiveness and potential impacts of SRM is of spatial heterogeneity, and a long-term risk may be brought to human and nature upon its execution, uncertain on the crops production, human's health and eco-system. Decision must consider the regional heterogeneity and long-term risks to avoid its negative impacts on vulnerable areas and to human's offsprings. Slow research advances, low public recognition and ethic concept, and imbalanced nation's interests impedes SRM's scientific tests and international harness. SRM's research is challenged by unreliable evaluation conclusion, doubtful assumed rationality and future uncertainty. The current scientific basis cannot effectively support SRM's international harness. Nations with different interests, values and geopolitics are hard to reach agreement on SRM. Lack of official responsibilities and laws may bring new risks to international cooperation and peace. SRM's international harness covers policies, laws, science, public participation and technical supports, which shall be jointly developed with technical research.

    Long-term over mining activities in Yellow River stream have led to severe eco-environmental issues. It is a key mission to promote a quality economy under environmental constraints. This paper, based on case study on 9 Yellow River stream provinces, selects 3 systems mineral resources development, economy and environment and their 7 tier-2 indicators and 28 tier-3 indicators to establish a coupling coordination evaluation system of mineral resources development, economy and environment in Yellow River stream, which is used to evaluate their comprehensive developing levels of the three systems in 9 provinces via their 2011 to 2021 panel data and by means of entropy. A coupling coordination model is constructed to study their coupling coordination among the three sub-systems with ArcGIS used to analyze its evolution in spatial pattern. All 9 provinces gained a rising comprehensive development index during 2011 to 2021 with down-stream higher than middle-stream and followed by the upper-stream, at 60.9%, 51.9% and 59.2% respectively. Province numbers with high coupling index have been increasing during 2011 to 2021 and provinces with low index have been decreasing. Coupling index in the middle- and down-stream is higher than the entire stream. From time scale, some provinces have been above coordinated during 2011 to 2021, some not with imbalanced coupling coordination but steadily forward. Spatially, all nine provinces have been stably rising in their coordinated index with 8 at coordinated, 88.89% of the total, high in east and low in west with polarization across provinces. This research provides theoretical references for Yellow River stream to protect and harness environment and to reach a regional economic coordinated development. This paper presents suggestions on focusing on imbalanced development, on planning, on developing mineral resources and on boosting eco-environment.

    Collaborative harness of atmospheric pollution requests acoalition among local governments, which is marked by a jointly-issued environmental policies. This paper, based on official 2009 to 2019 atmospheric environmental policies, uses social network analysis (SNA) and Gephi software to map their network relationship graph among departments, and employs Ucinet to analyze their density and centrality of department collaboration in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomerations, exploring their coordination among governmental departments during environmental harness. In Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration, Beijing has the most extensive atmospheric environmental policies with most departments involved and frequent coordination. Tianjin has the fewest departments involved in making atmospheric environmental policies but with premium internal department coordination. Hebei has the less policy quantities and departments, which shall be further boosted. In Yangtze River delta urban agglomeration, Shanghai has a few atmospheric environmental policies, but with most departments involved and most frequent cooperation. Zhejiang has the most policies with extensive departments involved, less in department coordination. Jiangsu is quite similar with Anhui in policy quantities and involving departments, but Anhui has the least department coordination. In Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration, Chongqing has less policies, less involving departments with little cooperation. Sichuan performs better, but has yet formed a collaborative network mode among departments with “polar-kernel” features. This paper presents suggestions on fulfilling functions of urban agglomeration to establish communicating channels among regional governments and organizations and to form a multiple-department-involving and diversified normalized mechanism in harnessing atmospheric pollution.

    Realization of optimal industrial eco-efficiency is of significance to industrial green growth. This paper uses non-expected output SBM model to measure their 2010 to 2021 industrial eco-efficiency of 26 cities in Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle and Wuhan metropolitan circle as representative in the upper- to middle-stream of Yangtze River economic zone, and employs ArcGIS's visualization tools to compare their temporal-spatial evolution, and applies Tobit model and geographical detector model to identify their drives. It shows that their industrial eco-efficiency displays a fluctuating rising trend in two urban circles, with gap in the optimal efficiency. Polarizations partially exist inside prefectures in both circles. Industrial eco-efficiency is jointly constrained by R&D inputs, economy, transportation and openness, of which economy and transportation play a stronger promotion, others play a little in a need of raising foreign investment and intensifying research & development inputs to reach a positive promotion. This paper presents suggestions on strengthening an integrated development inside & outside of urban circle, establishing collective innovation network and increasing openness, aiming at promoting industrial eco-efficiency and local quality economic growth in the middle- and upper-stream of Yangtze River economic zone.

    This paper uses statistic methods to study the global lithium resources distribution,development and utilization,and the demanding lithium metal led by the new energy industry,and discusses the issues in China's lithium resource exploration,development and utilization,and rationally analyzes the hot market in China's lithium resources.China's lithium battery industry is growing fast, leading to a surging demand for lithium mineral resources,which can not be satisfied by domestic supply,requiring vast imports.In 2021,China's dependence on imported lithium resources has decreased to 65% from the peak at 80% due to a rising domestic lithium resource development,to 55% in 2022,still highly depending on imports. China has advanced a lot in lithium resources exploration during the recent decade, both in theoretical research and in exploration practice,still with gaps in newly-added lithium reserve and exploration breakthrough with foreign mining giants. China's mining lithium has been increasing as lithium carbonate demands and prices are up,with issues in high mining costs and processing technologies.China's spodumene deposits,high grade,small size,limited by their geographic location, are hard to be mined, low in mining utilization.China's lepidolite deposits,large size, easy mining,but low grade and difficult processing.China's saline lithium has vast reserves,impacted by their geographic locations and high MG/Li ratio,leading to a slow rising production.China's private capitals are competing for domestic lithium exploration rights,resulting in overpayment for owning it,up to thousand times of asking price.Owning lithium exploration rights is not the ultimate objective,the owner should invest the exploration,mining and processing to provide lithium carbonate to the market,forming a sound development of industrial and supply chain.It's the essence of owning a lithium exploration right.

    It has been a vital topic for speeding up a high integration of the digital economy and green economic transformation in China's academic and social domains. This paper, based on 2005 to 2020 data of China's 280 cities, uses principal component analysis and non-expected output super-efficiency EBM model to measure cities' digital economic level and green economic efficiency and studies the impacts and mechanism of digital economic development on urban green economic efficiency in consideration of endogeneity and robustness. It concludes that digital economy can effectively improve urban green economic efficiency, and enforce the green economic diffusion effects of middle or large cities over their surrounding cities, which overcomes the echo effect over small cities, helping fulfill network effect which turning “core-periphery” structure by displaying green universal welfare functions on differently sized cities and boosting regional green economy. Improvement of digital economy on green economic efficiency is more where has a higher marketizing level and environmental regulations. Digital economy can promote green innovation and economic agglomeration, driving urban low-carbon growth. This paper presents suggestions for governments on raising support for digital industries, on making differentiated function positioning and strategies for differently sized cities, and on creating a sound marketing and policy environment for an entire green transformation.

    Establishment of paid use system of natural resources is a key task for ecological civilization reform and a vital guarantee to deepen market-allocating natural resources and to drive a quality development. This paper, based on a research framework of “logic analysis-regime evolution-question discussion-path optimization”, analyzes its policy evolution and reveals the major issues and main challenges from the concepts of pay-for-using natural resources, and discusses the direction of and path to optimization with an intension to offer reference for further deepening reform. China's pay-for-using natural resources policy has undergone four stages, free-using, partially-pay-for-using, market-growing, and rule-optimizing, suggesting a continuous exploration and optimization in ranges, means, rights, gains and supervision. Reforming progress varies with resource categories, over-capitalization emerges in highly-market-involved commercial natural resources, but slowly-market-growth in natural resources of public interests. Three challenges are emerging, a higher requirement for synergism of governments and markets over dual supplies of natural resources, inappropriate property rights and gains distribution between upper- and down-stream, differentiated reform progress lagging behind resources supply and managements. For a purpose of optimizing paid use system of natural resources, this paper presents suggestions on top designing based on a principle of unified and division, on controlling entry and pricing mechanism in ruling governmental and market roles, and on clarifying economic relations among property owners and focusing on a loop designing of rules.

    Industrial land use is a vital space for holding industrial system construction, its allocating effectiveness directly impacts modernized industrial system construction and development of new productive forces. This paper, bases on a case of Jiangsu province that has a significant base for new productive forces, summarizes its practices and performances in industrial land use allocation, analyzes the issues and presents suggestions, offering references for developing new productive forces through optimized allocation of industrial land use for Jiangsu province or other areas. Jiangsu province has developed key industrial chains into its pros through precisely effective industrial land use allocation, formed a flexible land supply mode via reforming land allocating regime for new industries, and uses extensive land use strategy to find ways to economy. Issues are still existing in industrial land use allocation in three aspects, a fuzzy definition of new industrial land use which requires an further optimization of its industrial land use planning and land supply policies, land supply/withdraw and property ownership system awaiting improvement to meet demands of new industries by land use standards, insufficient in joint supervision by multiple departments after land supplies. This paper presents policy suggestions of and innovative approaches to optimized allocation of industrial land uses from planning which needs to renew pricing standards to explore a flexible land use mode, from effective land use allocation that requires breakthrough in land functions and enabling land inventory and a flexible land supply way, and from supervision which needs optimizing industrial selection, detailing criteria of land users and improving joint supervision.

    The northwestern China is facing an imbalanced resources, environment and economy, which needs to verify if the “resource curse” effects and transmission mechanism exist among resources occurrence, resources industrial dependence and economic development to reach a sustainable development in northwestern “resources-economy-environment”. This paper selects 2006 to 2020 panel data of 30 prefectures in China's northwestern 5 provinces to explore the existence of resources curse, presents a conditional “resources curse” hypothesis that resource dependence has an upside-down U-shaped relation with economy. On the basis of clarification of resource abundance and resource dependence, resource dependence is used as explainable variable to study “resources curse”, and GMM is employed to conduct regression analysis on the benchmark model and transmission mechanism. “Resources curse” exists in northwestern China with its resource dependence having an upside-down U-shaped relationship with economy. Material capital investment plays a negative role on economy, more at its curve inflection point, suggesting it do little on avoiding “resources curse”, and may led to its happening to some degree. Employment growth rate, technical inputs, human capital inputs and infrastructures have little effect on economy and curve inflection point, but governmental intervention plays an outstandingly negative role in economy. Estimation of transmission mechanism doesn't show that “resources curse” in the northwestern China has a strong squeezing effect on manufacturing and foreign trading, possibly due to its local supportive policies and developing stages, but the negative impacts of resources dependence on manufacturing and openness cannot be ignored. This paper presents suggestions on boosting private capital construction to improve the impacts of its unfavorable location, on increasing investment along with attracting talents, and on upgrading industrial structure and industrial internal development.

    As the world speeds up to the carbon neutralization, the key parts NdFeB's strategic significance is increasing, becoming a core domain in the global REE market. Scientific evaluation on global export competitiveness of China's NdFeB entire industrial chain products is key for China to seize the initiative amid the new REE gaming. This paper, viewing from perspective of entire industrial chain, puts Nd products market penetration into trading data by means of constant market share model and revealed comparative advantage, studies their global export competitiveness and global position evolution of 173 kinds of NdFeB products during 1990 to 2021. The overall competitiveness of China's NdFeB entire industrial chain products has been increasingly boosted with improved exported goods and market structures. Export growth mode has shifted to being oriented by competitiveness from jointly by market demands and competitiveness. The middle- to down-stream products in the entire industrial chain are increasingly emerging at their comparative advantages, up to middle to high value chain. Globally, China's NdFeB entire industrial chain products are facing a weakly optimized export structure and a lower global competitiveness of fine products than the major manufacturer giants Japan and European Union,  Nd products' comparative advantages are gradually being replaced by Japan, the end-use products' comparative advantages are slowly being raised with gaps with giant manufacturers. This paper presents suggestions on paying more attention to the fast-falling upper-stream products' conventional advantages, on cultivating global competitiveness of potential fine products, and on enlarging R&D inputs on end-use products to reach a new global competitiveness.

    Synergy of pollution & carbon reduction is a key path to China's green low carbon quality development. It is still unclear that how their synergy and harness between air pollutants represented by SO2 & CO2 and green house gas reduction drivers is. This paper, based on 34 prefectures' 2006 to 2020 data in Yangtze River delta, uses LMDI model to decompose SO2 & CO2 emission drivers with the results nested with pollution & carbon-reduction synergy model, and measures their contribution and synergy of pollution & carbon-reduction drivers in energy, economy and environment. Effects of energy structural intensity, economic development and population size play a synergy on SO2 & CO2 reduction in Yangtze River delta, of which only energy structural intensity is positive, other drivers are negative or of no synergy. To advance China's green low carbon quality growth, this paper presents suggestion on fulfilling drivers of synergy in pollution & carbon-reduction along with the potentials of non-synergy factors.

    Reconstruction of coal-electricity entities is a vital approach to the structural issues of “coal-electricity contradiction”. Reconstruction of central enterprises had basically been effective, still with insufficient recognition in coal-electricity sector, which affects execution of policies. This paper studies the reconstruction obstacles of coal-electricity entities from regime, based on general rules of new institutional economics in an order of “coal-electricity contradiction”→“coal-electricity trading”→“property right optimization”→“adjusting prices”, clarifies the relationship between coal-electricity property and energy prices, and focuses on its effectiveness of property right optimized allocation on coal-electricity trading process. Organization theory is employed to analyze the structurally logical relation between coal-electricity contradiction and coal-electricity trading with results showing that source of coal-electricity contradiction comes from unsaved costs amid coal-electricity trading. The root logical relation between coal-electricity trading and coal-electricity property revealed by modern property theory and trading cost theory suggests that optimized allocation of property determine the resources allocating efficiency and organizational efficiency of coal-electricity trading. A gaming model of coal-electricity indicates the negative externality under invalid or fuzzy property, adjustable pricing ways are set under different property allocations. Trading costs have been ignored amid the reconstruction of coal-electricity entities, weakening its effectiveness and the market adjusting capabilities, leading to coal-electricity contradiction. Unclear trading costs result in fuzzy property allocation amid reconstruction of coal-electricity entities, allocation of excessive controlling is simple and straight, which constrains its merging and organizational efficiencies of coal-electricity entities. The fuzzy coal-electricity property allocation contributes to the shifted pricing mechanism. This paper puts forward suggestions on establishing an accounting system of coal-electricity trading cost, optimizing the mixed governing modes and establishing flexible pricing mechanism to mitigate “coal-electricity contradiction”.

    China's rapidly-growing new urbanization has adversely affected China's regional sustainable development, which has also been challenged by rising global warming and extreme climate events. Study on the coupling coordination between new urbanization and sustainable development has become an imperative task in advancing China's high-quality economic growth. This paper, based on 2003 to 2019 population, economic, social and eco-environmental data of China's provinces, uses comprehensive index of new urbanization and environmental enhanced sustainable development index(ESDI)to establish a coupling coordination model and Gray Forecast Model GM(1, 1), which are applied to study the temporal-spatial evolution of coupling coordination between new urbanization and sustainable development and its developing trend. China's sustainable development largely varies with provinces, quantity of provinces with low ESDI first increased and then fell during 2003 to 2019, while those with high ESDI continuously rose. China's provinces are basically disordered or basically coordinated in their coupling coordination degree, generally showing a changing trend from basically disordered to basically coordinated, leaving most provinces’ new urbanization in lagging or blocked. This paper predicts that from 2020 to 2024, the coupling coordination degree between new urbanization and sustainable development are in basically coordinated in China's 20 provinces, 9 in basically disordered, and only Inner Mongolia in extremely disordered.

    At the initial stage of economic development, abundance of natural resources is normally regarded as a favorable factor for economic growth. However, not all economies can obtain sustainable development by their natural resources. Economies of areas with abundant resources have declined due to their resources, falling into a growth trap. This is so-called “resource curse” hypothesis. To clarify if natural resources are either a “curse” or a “drive” to economic growth, researchers have done lots of work on theories and practices. One prevailing viewpoint is that development of natural resources adversely affects economy through “squeezing” the core elements of economic growth. Some statistical models from different perspectives verify that abundance of natural resources trend to hinder economic growth, leading to issues such as worsening environment, simple industry and uneven distribution. It attracts lots of attentions to the relation among resources, environment and sustainable development. “Resource curse” hypothesis is becoming a research hotspot in development economics and regional economics. This paper overviews the “resource curse” hypothesis, analyzes the research advances from origin, evolution, connotation, theoretical explanation and cases, and finds out that natural resources impact economy not in a simply linear way, but in a non-linear way, which has been widely agreed by researchers. Explanations of controlling variables of “resources curse” are variable, but it is agreed that resource dependence is negative to economy, and the higher dependence, the more subject to “resource curse”. The future research should be focused on endogeneity of key variables, selecting appropriate tool variables, samples and methods to increase robustness of conclusion of “resource curse” hypothesis. This paper presents suggestions on exploring causes and mechanisms of “resource curse” in China and attempting new path to transformation in resource-based areas against “resource curse”

    IMPACTS OF DIGITAL ECONOMY ON PROVINCIAL GREEN WATER RESOURCES USE EFFICIENCY BASED ON SYSTEM GMM MODEL TESTS
    ZHANG Jie, ZHAO Xiangyang, PANG Qinghua, ZHANG Chenjun
    Resources & Industries    2025, 27 (1): 11-21.   DOI: 10.13776/j.cnki.resourcesindustries.20241015.001
    Abstract82)      PDF(pc) (1391KB)(28)       Save
    To reveal the relationship between digital economy and green water resources use efficiency, this paper selects the panel data of China's 31 provinces (excluding Hongkong, Macao and Taiwan) from 2012 to 2022 to establish a non-expected output SBM-DEA model which is used to calculate their green water resources use efficiencies, and applies principal component analysis to measure their provincial digital economic levels, and employs GMM model to study their causality. Green water resources use efficiency is significantly positively impacted by digital economy, positively by economic level, financial concentration and marketing level, negatively by manufacturing level. Robustness test based on four methods, explanatory variables remeasurement, tail-shrinking treatment, removal of municipalities, and shortening sample years, suggests that the outstanding levels and polarity of coefficients of key explanatory variables remain unchanged, meaning a robust conclusion that digital economy promotes green water resources use efficiency. Regional heterogeneity test shows that the impacting effect of digital economy is more significant in eastern areas than in western and central areas. Mediating effect test reveals that structural level changes of three industries variably impact green water resources use efficiency, among which structural upgrading of the first and the second industries plays a mediating role in promoting green water resources use efficiency. This paper presents suggestions on securing industrial structural stabilities and applying differentiated digital economic strategies, on boosting infrastructural construction of digital economy and intensifying talents education, and on increasing R&D inputs and applying comprehensive measures to upgrade digital economy. This conclusion is of significance for driving digital economic development, raising green water resources use efficiency and promoting China's high-quality economy.

    TEMPORAL-SPATIAL EVOLUTION OF URBAN CONSTRUCTION LAND USE EFFICIENCY IN ANHUI PROVINCE VIEWING FROM HIGH-QUALITY DEVELOPMENT
    CHEN Xiaoyu, TIAN Fengya, CAI Jun, et al.
    Resources & Industries    2024, 26 (3): 78-89.   DOI: 10.13776/j.cnki.resourcesindustries.20240510.003

    To study temporal-spatial evolution of Anhui's urban construction land  use efficiency from perspective of China's high-quality development, this paper establishes an evaluation system which uses Anhui's 2006 to 2020 data and three-phased DEA model to incorporate industrial structural coordination, technical advance coordination and inner-external development coordination into environmental factor, quantitatively analyzes Anhui's urban construction land  use efficiency, temporally and spatially, and studies the projection analysis of inputs/outputs of urban construction land in non-DEA cities. From time scale, Anhui's urban construction land use efficiency has been high during 2006 to 2020, but the upward trend has slowed, with its Malmquist total factor productivity averaging at 1.023, mainly driven by technical advances. Spatially, Anhui's urban construction land use efficiency is high in northwest-southeast city zone (Huaibei-Huainan-Hefei-Tongling) and southwest-northeast zone (Lu'an-Chuzhou), a rough crossing pattern, which will be diffusing externally, taking Huaibei and Huainan cities as the cores in the northern Anhui, and Wuhu and Hefei in the southern Anhui. Redundance analysis indicates that Anhui's urban construction land use efficiency is chiefly impacted by urban industries & green coordinated development. On inputs, the redundant number of employees in urban secondary and tertiary industries is the major factor in constraining Auhui's urban construction land use efficiency. On outputs, irrational industrial structures, insufficient ecological production and inappropriate resource allocation are the key factors.

    Innovation is the primary force of economy. China has achieved remarkable achievements since the implementation of innovation-driven development strategy. However, the current innovative achievements are focusing on quantity rather than quality with less quality results. In order to produce quality innovative results, to resolve the bottleneck key technologies and to fasten China's quality economy, this paper uses 2011 to 2020 China's A-listed companies as sample to study the impacts and mechanism of enterprises' EGS performance on dual innovation. Their ESG performance can dramatically increase their innovative products, more on their breaking innovation, suggesting ESG can help convert resources into quality innovative products. The mechanism analysis reveals that enterprises' R&D inputs play a mediation role between ESG performance and dual innovation, which is also reinforced by their digital transformation. Heterogeneity suggests ESG performance of developing or declining enterprises plays a stronger role on breaking innovation, compared with maturing enterprises, viewing from enterprises' life circles. ESG performance of developing enterprises on breaking innovation is mainly driven by environmental and social responsibility performance, those declining by social responsibility and internal harness performance. Those developing enterprises should boost their linkages with external stakeholders to acquire more supports, and those declining should focus on their internal harness to improve their internal operations. From enterprises' strategy, cost-oriented enterprises' ESG performance on breaking innovation is stronger than differentiation-oriented ones in innovative intensity, but little difference on progressive innovation. Hence cost-orientated enterprises shall pay attention to ESG construction to promote their quality outputs. This paper presents references for revealing economic aftermath of enterprises' ESG behaviors, optimizing their innovative decisions and for governments to disclose ESG information.

    All-for-one tourism is a new concept and mode that is presented for innovative touring destination development, which can be evaluated by tourists' satisfaction. This paper, viewing from perspective of tourists' satisfaction perception, establishes an evaluation index system for all-for-one touring destination, which is used to quantitatively evaluate all-for-one touring destination based on a case of Changchun's Jiutai district by means of questionnaire, factor analysis and IPA, aiming at a full understanding of the development of all-for-one touring destination from tourists' perspective, and exploring the gap between all-for-one tourism and tourists' expectations. Tourists' satisfaction on Jiutai district lies between generally satisfied and relatively satisfied, overall at a good level with a lower evaluation score, leaving room to be improved. Factor analysis indicates that, among 4 factors, tourist source market demand gains the highest evaluating score, followed by all-for-one touring resources and destination, all-for-one touring products are low, which needs more attention during development of all-for-one tourism. IPA suggests that among 28 evaluation indictors touring destination location, foods, accommodation, transportation, resort allocation, touring event experiences are high in their evaluation, which need to be well maintained and innovatively developed. Tourists' satisfaction indicators have lower sensitivity on diversity of touring resources and all-for-one touring destination supply, which needs to be maintained as it is. Indicators such as touring resources value, touring resources protection, local featured culture, seasonality of resources, resources distribution, product abundance, resort features, touring administration, touring advertisement, touring safety and smart tourism supporting facilities are limited in attracting tourists, needing to be improved. 9 indicators resources development extent, brand, environmental quality, resorts correlation, timelessness of touring products, prices of touring products, cost performance of touring products, integration with related industries and touring infrastructures are the weak part in Jiutai's all-for-one tourism which need to be developed with priority.

    Most countries largely depend upon external cobalt sourcing due to its low reserve and production and uneven distribution as one of strategic and critical minerals during green low-carbon transformation, which makes cobalt global trading a complicated network. This paper selects a variety of cobalt commodities at different stages to establish a global cobalt industrial chain network, and studies the endogenous drivers of structural formation and dynamic evolution of global cobalt industrial chain network by means of multiple-layered network index random graph model and time index random graph model. In cobalt industrial chain, same network endogenous structures equally impact its structural formation at different stages with varying impacting extent. Mutual-beneficial effect, structural dependence effect and time dependence effect notably impact the dynamic evolution of global cobalt industrial chain. This study expands impacting mechanisms of dynamic evolution of global trade network to multiple commodities in industrial chain, offering references for construction and restoration, risks transmission, and measures of global cobalt trading network from perspective of industrial chain.

    This paper, based on data of China's A-listed 2 594 companies from 2010 to 2022, uses natural resources dependence theory to study the impacting effects and mechanism of climatic change risks on firm's sustainability performance aiming at providing theoretical basis for companies to boost their adaptability to climatic changes and at offering references on green transformation and sustainable development. Climatic change risks dramatically enhance firm's sustainability performance, boost their transformation to adapt to changing climates and stimulate them to undertake social responsibilities to sustainability. Green innovation plays a mediating role between climatic change risks and sustainability performance. Climatic change risks drive firms to deploy green innovation to reduce dependence on single resource, decrease natural resource consumption and ecosystem damage, boost firm's adaptability and emergency responding capabilities to climatic changes, and cultivate their diversified core competitiveness. Redundant resources amplify the positive impact of climate change risks on sustainability performance, providing a buffering mechanism for enterprises to cope with climate challenges. This not only reduces losses from climatic disasters but also ensures resource availability to enterprise development and transformation. Heterogeneity analysis shows that climate change risks have a more pronounced effect on promoting the sustainability performance of high-carbon emission enterprises and heavily polluting enterprises. Moreover, the influence of climate change risks on sustainability performance varies depending on the specific property rights and industrial characteristics of the enterprises. Specifically, state-owned enterprises, compared to non-state-owned ones, possess greater resources and capabilities to respond to climate change risks, making them more likely to achieve the goal of harmonizing economic development and environmental protection. Regarding industry nature, labor-intensive enterprises, due to their higher dependence on human resources, are more sensitive to climate change risks and consequently place greater emphasis on sustainability practices compared to technology-intensive and asset-intensive enterprises.

    Environmental expenses of fine chemical entities is a general guarantee to environmental pollution, and also a vital approach to entities' green sustainability. Eco-efficiency is an important index for evaluating green development. Study of impacts and mechanism of environmental expenses on eco-efficiency of fine chemical entities is helpful to drive economic growth and reduce pollution, offering supports to entities' quality development. This paper uses SBM-GML model to estimate 2011 to 2021 eco-efficiencies of 55 fine chemical entities in Shangyu industrial park, and analyzes the heterogeneity of environmental expenses on eco-efficiency from timescale, property and sub-industries. A threshold model is established to discuss the mechanism of environmental expenses on eco-efficiency. Fine chemical entities in the park have increased their eco-efficiency by 55.5% from 2011 to 2021, positively driven by environmental expenses, more outstandingly among internal capital and medicine entities during the “12-th 5-Year-Plan”. Entities have raised their resources utilization efficiency, further promoting the positive pushing of environmental expenses on eco-efficiency. Environmental expenses exert little impacts on eco-efficiency when green technology is above the threshold value, and will largely decrease impacts when environmental expense is 48.8% more than the total cost. This paper presents suggestions for fine chemical entities to improve eco-efficiency and provides supports to make environmental plannings.

    Water ecological civilization urban construction pilot (WECCP) is a key way to ecological civilization construction, meaningful to China's quality economic development. This paper, taking WECCP as a quasi-natural experiment, selects 2006 to 2021 panel data of China's 248 cities to establish a progressive DID model, which is used to study how the pilot impacts industrial water resources green efficiency. Heterogeneity analysis of region, economy and industrial basis is carried out by grouped samples via mediating effect's three-stepped mechanism. WECCP can dramatically increase industrial water resources green efficiency by passing robustness tests such as parallel trend test, placebo test, replacement measurement model and PSM. Mediating effect of impacting mechanism of industrial structural upgrading is 12.17% of the total effects, and green technical innovation is 45.43%, suggesting industrial structural upgrading and green technical innovation can largely impact WECCP as two vital mechanisms. Heterogeneity exists in the impacts of WECCP, which plays a more outstanding role in improving industrial water resources green efficiency in eastern China with higher economic level and non-old industrial bases than in central-western China with low economic level and old industrial bases. This paper presents suggestions on continuing WECCP, planning industrial structure and raising green innovative capabilities and appropriately constructing water ecological civilization plans.

     Digital economy and green economy are two main directions leading China's economy to structural transformation, and also major drives to China's high-quality economy and sustainable development. Digitalization helps green economy a lot, but its accompanying energy consumption and carbon emission are still issues. This paper, based on panel data of China's 30 provinces, municipalities and prefectures from 2012 to 2022, measures their digitalization and green economic development levels, and reveals the mechanism and factors of digitalization level on green economic development. Digital economy shows a non-linear U-shaped relationship with green economic development, negatively affecting green economic development at the initial stage but positively in later stages, which has been validated through robustness test. The U-shaped relationship is remarkable in northern China, but not in the south. During the development of digital economy, reduced carbon emission intensity, optimized electricity consuming structure, and increased residents' income indirectly play a positive role to green economy. Environmental regulations and green technical innovation play a significant adjusting role in the U-shaped relationship. This paper presents suggestions on boosting governmental supports for green digital infrastructural construction, encouraging firms to develop green and power-saving technologies, and planning to integrate digital economy into green economy, widely applying smart grid and energy management system to increase energy use efficiency, intensifying carbon emission supervision to reach mutual benefits in economy and environment, developing digital economy to create high-quality employment, increasing residents' income to promote green consumption, stimulating green technical innovation and application, and implementing environmental laws and regulations to drive green economy

    Industries are key to economy, fundamentally for a nation's basis. Advancing industrial structures is a vital approach to modernized industrial system, industrial core competitiveness and entering middle-upper end of global value chains. This paper uses industrial commonality index to measure China's 31 provinces' 2012 to 2021 similarity matrix of industrial structures, and applies social network analysis (SNA) and secondary assignment procedure (QAP) to study the spatial correlation characteristics and functioning mechanism. Industrial commonality index can effectively show the asymmetry between inter-provincial industrial structural similarity and regional relation. Spatial correlation network of inter-provincial industrial structures can be divided into 4 domains, the first domain includes Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Chongqing, at the top of industrial structural network which plays a leading role in optimizing industrial structures. The second domain includes Shanxi, Liaoning, Fujian and Shandong, playing a bridging and mediating role amid industrial migration, interactive with the first domain and outflowing to the third domain. The third domain includes Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui, Guangxi, Shaanxi and Jilin, both receiving the second domain's outflowing and outflowing to the forth domain. The forth domain includes the rest, which needs to receive industries from more developed areas in industrial structural adjustment. QAP suggests that labor inputs, human capital, capital types, and end consumption and geographic neighboring may be partially interpretated as spatially correlated, and path to inter-provincial industrial migration and receiving may be optimized.

    As reforming natural resources ownership advances, China, aiming to improve resources asset allocating efficiency, visualizing assets values and sharing gains, has conducted a lot of marketing reforms and practices of pay-for-using commercial natural resources rules. This paper overviews the evolution and challenges of commercial natural resources rules, and analyzes the major reform path and effectiveness. Rules have to be placed before owning commercial natural resource properties, which may better constrain agents' and local governmental behaviors and reach the objectives sustainability and sharing gains of commercial natural resource properties. Stimulation set by central government is key to local governments, selection of stimulating structure and local governmental behaviors are impacted by local conditions, which needs to be further studied in order to better fulfill governmental roles. Amid operating commercial natural resource properties, local governments need to master the marketing mechanism in consideration of nature, economy, society, politics to better maintain owners' gains. Commercial natural resources as market-allocated element inside the complicated social-ecological system need to be studied from systematic perspective to disclose the factors and marketing mechanism of owning commercial natural resources.

    Carbon dioxide rebound effect is the root cause of rising carbon emission along with improving carbon emission efficiency.To further promote energy-saving-emission-reducing potential of Chinese household' resources consumption,this paper,aiming at the producing mechanism of carbon dioxide rebound effect (CRE) from household “water-energy-food” system, uses IPCC to estimate the 2015 to 2020 carbon emission of household water, energy and food consumption in China's 30 provinces, and applies changeable coefficient panel data model to calculate carbon dioxide rebound effect of household “water-energy-food” system,and analyzes its factors.2015 to 2020 carbon dioxide emission from Chinese household “water-energy-food” system in 30 provinces shows heterogeneity,generally stable from household water use,rising from household energy consumption,unchanging or falling from household food consumption.2015 to 2020 carbon dioxide rebound effect of household “water-energy-food” system can be classified as three forms,backfire effect,partial rebound effect and super-energy-saving effect.Rebound effects of household water use are partial rebound effect and super-energy-saving effect,that of household energy consumption is partial rebound effect,and that of household food consumption is super-energy-saving effect.Household usable income per capita and household size are the major factors impacting their carbon dioxide rebound effect of household “water-energy-food” system in China.The change trend of household per capita disposable income is consistent with the carbon dioxide rebound effect of household water consumption, while the change trend of household size is consistent with the carbon dioxide rebound effect of household energy consumption.

    A quality development of new urbanization is a key driving force to promote regional coordinated development and urban-rural integration, and an inevitable path to Chinese-styled modernization as well. This paper uses compound index system, improved entropy and vector self-regression model to study quality development and factors of Urumqi’s rural-urban integrated and new urbanization during 2000 to 2022. The results show Urumqi has acquired a continuously rising quality development in its new urbanization during the study period, but still constrained by a slow speed, slow farmers-to-urban-residents and imbalanced urban-rural development. Key drivers of quality development of new urbanization include governmental policy supports, economic developing levels, industrial structural optimization. This paper presents fine and differentiated references for new urbanization, urban-rural integration and regional coordinated development in the new era.

    Forecasting supply/demand of clean energy critical mineral processing products and exploring the effective ways to raise supply-securing level of critical mineral processing products are of significance to guarantee and stabilize industrial chain and supply chain of critical minerals in China. This paper, aiming at the clean energy critical mineral processing products of lithium, cobalt and nickel, applies grey forecasting model, ARIMA model and a combined model based on entropy to forecast China's market supply/demand trend of clean energy critical mineral processing products from 2023 to 2030. Entropy-based combined model works excellently in market supply/demand of lithium, cobalt and nickel with dramatically improved forecasting precision compared to single model. In consideration of recycling resource contribution, it is forecasted that the demand for lithium and cobalt processing products will reach 153.74×10.4 t and 25.34×10.4 t in 2030, and the supply will be 183.56×10.4 t and 23.36×10.4 t, basically reaching a supply/demand balance, but with potential disturbance from technical innovation. As for nickel processing products, without considering the recycling resource, there will be a conflicted demand/supply, suggesting China should take immediate actions to secure domestic nickel processing products supply to guarantee sustainable development. Suggestions are presented for the three critical minerals. For lithium, China should prioritize research and application of deep brine lithium extraction technologies, promote the “oil-lithium co-exploration” model, and intensify technical innovation to reduce reliance on imports and mitigate market volatility risks. As for cobalt resource, recycling economy is the key way by intensifying cobalt recycling research and application and by increasing overall use efficiency to relieve mining pressure. As for nickel resource, it suggests China cooperate with “the Belt and Road” countries in overseas investment and production by diversifying importing sources, and boost domestic nickel exploration and development to ensure stability and security of nickel supply chain
