Dual-core city cluster is a special geographic feature during China's city cluster development. This paper uses synergy theory and growth polarity theory to establish a dual-core city cluster compound system, applies compound system synergy model and 2011-2017 panel data to measure the order of central city sub-system, order of port city sub-system and synergy of compound system of eastern China's four dual-core city clusters, providing references for theory and practice of such city cluster coordinated development. Results show their synergy displays a rising trend, entering an excellent coordinated developing stage, marked by high-low-low high. Orders of central city sub-system and coastal city sub-system are rising at same pace. Central city sub-system has experienced disorder to a rising order synergy, varying in the south and north that northern central city generally prevails the south during 2011 to 2017. Orders of port city sub-system do not show a conspicuous high-low-low-high trend, below the central city sub-system.

Environmental pressure arising from economic development and industrial operations may indicate the sustainable development level of industries, and also of importance in promoting industrial sustainable development and environmental pollution prevention and control. This paper uses Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model and LMDI decomposition and GDP per capita as economic indicator of Hunan province during 2000 to 2018, industrial solid waste, water waste, SO2, fog emission as environmental pollution indicators to analyze the relation between industrial pollution and economic growth, and discusses the driving factors from industrial cleaning technology effect, industrial energy efficiency effect, industrial productive structure effect, economic size effect, and population size effect. An upside-down N-shape exists among industrial water waste, SO2 and GDP per capita in Hunan province, an upside-down U-shape among industrial solid wastes, fog and GDP per capita, both curves passing the inflection points, suggesting a continuously improved environmental pressure. Industrial pollution is limited by industrial cleaning technology effect and industrial energy efficiency effect, but driven by industrial structure effect, economic size effect, and population size effect, of which economic size effect is the leading factor. This paper presents suggestions on reducing industrial pollution and promoting economic growth.

Under the Belt and Road, China's OFDI has shaped their industrial structure upgrading in Mekong river nations. This paper analyzes its impacting mechanism, establishes national industrial structure upgrading model, and uses direct investment stock and economic indicators of China on five Mekong river nations to analyze its impacts of China's OFDI on Mekong river nations in their industrial structure upgrading via medium effect. China's OFDI pushes their industrial structure upgrading generally, with an annual increasing rate 7.31 units during 2008 to 2018, through technical overflow, productive elements supply and three productivity effects, of which productivity effect contributes the most. Under the background of Lancangjiang-Mekong cooperation, it should be addressed that China's OFDI exerts a positive influence on Mekong river nations. A supportive investment policy will better construct the united Lancangjiang-Mekong coalition.

China has recently issued a policy “new 36 articles” encouraging private capital to enter energy industry. Under the setting of the Belt and Road, this paper selects panel data of China's listed energy enterprises during 2014 to 2018 and uses DEA model to estimate their operating efficiency. Tobi model and panel threshold model are built upon proportion of private capital to analyze the impacts of private capital entry into China's energy enterprises on operating efficiency, and to explore if this impact will change structurally as energy enterprises size changes. It is concluded that their operating efficiency is generally low and there is a prominently positive impact of proportion of private capital. A threshold effect exists in enterprise size, 80,544 million RMB, that a little impact if it is lower than the threshold, greatly positive impact over than that. Their operating efficiency is also outstandingly positively impacted by human capital and total asset turnover, negatively by enterprise size.

In order to push industrialization, to promote sustainable development, to reach energy-saving and emission reduction and to improve energy efficiency, this paper combines static analysis with dynamic analysis to measure energy efficiency of industrial enterprises in Heilongjiang province. Based on Heilongjiang's 13 cities, this paper uses industrial panel data of 2013 to 2018 and data envelopment to evaluate industrial energy efficiency with environmental factor considered in Heilongjiang province. The result shows a rising industrial efficiency, mainly contributed by technical advances and improved management. Geographically, the energy efficiency is not balanced, highest in the western, followed by the central and low in the eastern. Decomposition of the total element variables may suggest the improved technical efficiency be the major factor. Redundancy is used to measure the saving potential of industrial input elements, and measurement of redundancy from gas and air emission provides references for Heilongjiang to make objectives in emission reduction.

Under the current economic situation, green development, resource-saving and environment-friendly society lies in increasing green technical innovation capacity, which relies upon internal self-search, and also upon openness to gain global technical overflow. This paper selects 17 nations as China's technical overflow, taking green patent as green technical innovation indicators, employs China's provincial panel data of 2007 to 2017 to establish a spatial Dubin model which serves to check the impacts of global technical overflow on China's green technical innovation. China's provincially environmental technical innovation is characterized by outstanding spatial clustering, with local closely related to its vicinity geographically. Global technical overflow from imported trading largely promotes the green technical innovation where the imported is. Global technical overflow from bidirectional FDI plays a negative role, but internal research capital stock does positively. Interaction between OFDI and internal research capital stock enhances the green technical innovation.

Coal power generation is the second largest water use industry in China; its fast expansion puts pressures on water resources; water use quota management is supposed to be a vital means in saving water for coalpower generation industry. This paper, based on benchmark energy efficiency level of nationwide coal power plants, uses multiple regression model to evaluate water use intensity and factors of unit power generation in coal power plants, and estimates the expected water saving quantity in accordance with the latest edition of Coal Power Water Use Quota. The suggested general water use quota has little push on motive of saving water upgrading for coal power plants. Total saving water may be 122 millions cubic meters in 2020 given all plants comply with the suggested quota, but could be up to 823 millions cubic meters if three northern China regions satisfy the quota where water resources are rare, while other regions reach a premium quota. Viewing from technical perspective, water saving quantity proportions of circular cooling, direct cooling and air cooling are 58.6%, 18.7% and 22.8% under differentiated scenarios. Water saving quantity in eastern and northern China is over 200 millions cubic meters, around one forth nationwide, 108 million cubic meters in northwestern China, and 53 million cubic meters in northeastern China, the least.

During using water from trans-national Lanmei stream, Lanmei cooperation shall be based on governmentally global cooperation in balancing each nation's interests. This paper, aiming at possible water over use issues without united management system, presents Lanmei cooperation based on a case study on Laos Shawn-Thailand Modahan gaming behavior, and theoretically analyzes the water use factors of gaming players. A gaming model is established between two nations which is used to study the strategic selection and evolutional stability. Simulation via Matlab indicates its effects of governmentally strategic selection. Lanmei cooperation should enhance supervision and punishment, increase feedback rate of random inspection to urge governments to use water appropriately. The established differentiated punishment coefficient is of catalysis on gaming shrinking period. Governments will prefer to select rational water use in the global cooperation on Lanmei stream water resource if at a lower developing cost, raised benefits, loss upon irrational water use, and external overflow effect from the other gaming player.

China's water rights trading system is becoming mature, but its pricing as the key issue has not yet a rational standard. This paper, aiming at providing theoretical basis for reforming China's water rights trading price and at exploring an appropriate price and at researching the possible issues in water rights trading market, selects Murry-Darling stream water rights trading data during July 2008 to July 2019 to establish a transferred bi-district and tri\|lagging Markov model, which is used to study the fluctuated water rights trading price at different districts in Murry-Darling region. There are two statuses in water rights trading price, highly and lowly fluctuated,with almost same duration. Fluctuation of price is of inertance, not only subject to the changes of natural conditions, but also closely related to Australia's policies. Predicted water rights trading price by MS-VAR model offers references for the both trading sides and for government to make decision. This paper presents suggestions on establishing a sound alerting system for water rights trading price to guarantee rational water rights trading price.

To discover if the electric vehicles have the good energy-saving and emission-reducing merits in their lifecycles, this paper applies lifecycle evaluation and GREET model to calculate their energy consumption and pollution emission of PHEV and BEN, and compares the results with the traditional vehicles (GICEV) to evaluate their environmental benefits of EV. PHEV and BEV are lower than the GICEV in total energy consumption during the lifecycles by 18.94% and 24.72%, with outstanding energy saving advantages on driving. The two EVs have lower pollution emissions than GICEV in CO2, NOx, CO and VOC, of which BEV contributes most to CO and VOC emission reduction by 90.34% and 44.39%; however, SOx has an increment by 2.57 times. Generally, PHEV and BEV decrease the environmental loads by 24.25% and 40.72% compared with GICEV. When considering the negative externality, the pure economic costs of EVs are closer to the real costs, favorable for emission reduction. China will benefit from expansion of EV if Chinas energy structure can be optimized.
