We revisit three recently-published papers that apply discrete-choice experiment methods to coastal and marine ecosystem goods and services, in light of attribute non-attendance (AN-A). We find that accounting for AN-A does not always improve model fit, but when it does, the improvement can be substantial. Estimated price and attribute coefficients change, but these changes do not follow a consistent pattern, either in direction or magnitude. Mean attribute increment value (i.e., willingness to pay, WTP) estimates change, but also with no discernible pattern. However, in several cases, generally in those cases where accounting for AN-A improves model fit, we observe substantial improvements in the confidence intervals on WTP, i.e., accounting for AN-A appears to produce much more precise WTP estimates. In short, we find that accounting for AN-A is not always warranted, but when it is, the key payoff appears to be more precise WTP estimates.
我们回顾了最近发表的三篇论文,根据属性不出席(AN-A),将离散选择实验方法应用于沿海和海洋生态系统产品和服务。我们发现,考虑AN-A并不总是改善模型拟合,但当它这样做时,改进可能是实质性的。估计价格和属性系数的变化,但这些变化不遵循一个一致的模式,无论是在方向或大小。平均属性增量值(即,支付意愿,WTP)估计变化,但也没有可识别的模式。然而,在一些情况下,通常在考虑AN-A改善模型拟合的情况下,我们观察到WTP的置信区间有了实质性的改进,也就是说,考虑AN-A似乎产生了更精确的WTP估计。简而言之,我们发现对AN-A的核算并不总是有保证的,但当它得到保证时,关键的回报似乎是更精确的WTP估计。

Green Public Procurement and the Innovation Activities of Firms 绿色公共采购与企业创新活动
Pub Date : 2019-09-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3456520

This paper provides first empirical insights on the relationship between green public procurement (GPP) and firms' innovation activities. Considering that the public sector is a large buyer in the economy, public procurement is able to work as demand-pull factor for new products and thus innovations - given that the procurement is aimed at such objectives. GPP is specifically implemented to contribute to more sustainable production and consumption. Using a novel firm-level dataset, this paper analyses whether GPP is able to trigger innovation activities within firms, and if so, whether these innovations are environmental innovations or not. The results show some support for a demand-pull effect of GPP on the probability of general product innovations but no conclusive evidence is found for environmental innovations.
本文首次对绿色公共采购与企业创新活动之间的关系进行了实证研究。考虑到公共部门是经济中的一个大买家,公共采购能够作为新产品和创新的需求拉动因素,因为采购是针对这些目标的。GPP的具体实施是为了促进更可持续的生产和消费。本文利用一个新的企业层面数据集,分析了GPP是否能够触发企业内部的创新活动,如果能够,这些创新是否属于环境创新。结果表明,GPP的需求拉动效应对一般产品创新的概率有一定的影响,但对环境创新的影响没有确凿的证据。

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of this century. Mitigation requires a large-scaletransition to a low-carbon economy. This paper provides an overview of the rapidlygrowing literature on the role of macroeconomic and financial policy tools in enabling thistransition. The literature provides a menu of policy tools for mitigation. A key conclusion isthat fiscal tools are first in line and central, but can and may need to be complemented byfinancial and monetary policy instruments. Some tools and policies raise unansweredquestions about policy tool assignment and mandates, which we describe. The literature is scarce, however, on the most effective policy mix and the role of mitigation tools and goalsin the overall policy framework.
气候变化是本世纪最大的挑战之一。缓解气候变化需要向低碳经济大规模过渡。本文概述了关于宏观经济和金融政策工具在实现这一转变中的作用的快速增长的文献。文献提供了缓解政策工具的菜单。一个关键的结论是,财政工具是首要的和核心的,但可以而且可能需要金融和货币政策工具的补充。一些工具和政策提出了关于政策工具分配和授权的悬而未决的问题,我们对此进行了描述。然而,关于最有效的政策组合以及缓解工具和目标在总体政策框架中的作用的文献很少。

Abstract: The non-agricultural employment transfer of the rural labor force has fundamentally changed the labor input in China in recent decades. A good understanding of how the off-farm employment of rural laborers affects agricultural land use in China is needed. We use the Driscoll and Kraay standard errors (DK-SE) fixed effects model to investigate the relationship between rural laborers’ off-farm employment and agricultural land use efficiency based on a panel data of 1,961 counties in China. We find that the distribution of county-level agricultural land use efficiency is heavily skewed to the right, with many counties below the national average efficiency level. We also identify a robust U-shaped relationship between rural laborers’ off-farm employment and the change in agricultural land use efficiency, indicating that the substitution effect of capital and technology for rural labor has changed from weak to strong. The combined effects of the individual transfer mode and smallholder management scale are identified as the main drivers of this relationship. The findings have important policy implications for the joint reform of the household registration (hukou) system and the rural land use system (three rights separation reform) in China. The lessons learned from China also serve as a helpful reference for addressing the challenge of rural labor loss in other developing countries.
摘要:近几十年来,农村劳动力的非农就业转移从根本上改变了中国的劳动力投入。我们需要了解中国农村劳动力的非农就业如何影响农业用地。本文采用Driscoll和Kraay标准误差(DK-SE)固定效应模型,基于中国1961个县域的面板数据,研究了农村劳动力非农就业与农地利用效率的关系。研究发现,我国县域农业用地效率分布严重偏右,许多县域农用地效率低于全国平均水平。研究还发现,农村劳动力非农就业与农地利用效率变化之间存在显著的u型关系,表明资本和技术对农村劳动力的替代效应由弱向强转变。个体转移模式和小农经营规模的综合效应是这一关系的主要驱动因素。研究结果对中国户籍制度与农村土地使用制度的联合改革(三权分置改革)具有重要的政策意义。中国的经验教训也为其他发展中国家应对农村劳动力流失的挑战提供了有益的借鉴。

The aim of this paper is to estimate the value of the Lebanese oil resources. It presents an overview of the natural resources within the Lebanese territories and economic zone. Furthermore, it analyses the oil spot price characteristics and volatility. It studies the oil future market while exploring the relation between speculation and spot oil price in the short run. Findings prove that in the short run, changes in oil inventories do not Granger cause changes in oil price, neither does the change in future prices. However, outcomes show that in the short run, the change in gold price granger causes the oil spot price. Additionally, in the aim of forecasting accurate oil price, the paper builds a Dynamic OLS equilibrium. The model includes the oil demand, the oil supply, the oil inventories, the USD/SDR exchange rate, the Gold price, and the open interest contracts in futures market as speculation effect. Eventually, with an estimate of the volume of the resources and the price forecasts until 2025, the paper forecasts the value of the Lebanese resources.

本文的目的是估计黎巴嫩石油资源的价值。它概述了黎巴嫩领土和经济区内的自然资源。进一步分析了石油现货价格的特征和波动率。研究石油期货市场,探讨短期内投机与现货油价的关系。研究结果证明,在短期内,石油库存的变化不会格兰杰导致油价的变化,未来价格的变化也不会格兰杰导致油价的变化。然而,结果表明,在短期内,黄金价格的变化格兰杰导致石油现货价格。此外,为了准确预测石油价格,本文建立了动态OLS均衡。模型包括石油需求、石油供给、石油库存、美元/SDR汇率、黄金价格以及期货市场未平仓合约作为投机效应。最后,通过对资源数量的估计和到2025年的价格预测,本文预测了黎巴嫩资源的价值。

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a combination of cloud computing in to a mobile environment. It is refers to an infrastructure where data storage and data processing happen outside of the mobile device. MCC is an computing platform located in clouds, which is accessed over the wireless connection. MCC can significantly enhance the computation capability and saves energy of the smart mobile devices. Some built in defects of mobile devices, such as limited battery energy, insufficient storage; the mobile applications faces many challenges in mobility management, Quality of Service (QoS), energy management and security issues. A task is an application which is running in a mobile device and those tasks will be executed by Virtual Machines (VM) which is known as Resources. The pool of VM in a cloud computing data center needs to manage an efficient task and resource scheduling to maintain efficient energy, QoS and resource utilization. This work investigates comparative analysis of energy efficient and improved QoS-driven Task and Resource scheduling in a MCC environment by using Differential Evolution (DF). The evaluation of these algorithms is based on energy and QoS metrics. Based on the analysis of the simulation result, one of the scheduling will be concluded as best scheduling process in terms of energy and QoS.
移动云计算(MCC)是云计算与移动环境的结合。它指的是一种基础设施,其中数据存储和数据处理发生在移动设备之外。MCC是一个位于云端的计算平台,可以通过无线连接进行访问。MCC可以显著提高智能移动设备的计算能力,节约能源。一些移动设备的内置缺陷,如电池能量有限,存储不足;移动应用在移动性管理、服务质量(QoS)、能源管理和安全问题等方面面临着诸多挑战。任务是在移动设备上运行的应用程序,这些任务将由称为资源的虚拟机(VM)执行。云计算数据中心的虚拟机池需要进行高效的任务管理和资源调度,以保持高效的能源、QoS和资源利用率。本研究通过差分进化(DF)对MCC环境中能效和改进qos驱动的任务和资源调度进行了比较分析。这些算法的评估是基于能量和QoS指标。通过对仿真结果的分析,得出其中一种调度方法在能量和QoS方面是最优的调度方法。

Measuring Heat Waves and Their Effects on Economic Output 测量热浪及其对经济产出的影响
Pub Date : 2019-07-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3424125
Kenn Chua, J. Coggins, Steve J Miller, H. Mohtadi
We provide novel evidence that accumulated heat exposure affects economic activity in ways that are distinct from shifts in the temperature distribution. We first derive new measures of accumulated heat exposure, which we validate by successfully reproducing well-known heat waves with a global dataset of nearly 1 billion daily temperatures spanning 1979-2016. Using these measures, we find summer heat waves imply lower per-capita output, especially in agriculture. Further, cumulative exposure matters: hot days preceded by several others are significantly more damaging. Estimated agricultural losses from the 2003 France heat wave were 13 times larger than standard approaches suggest.
我们提供了新的证据,表明累积的热量暴露以不同于温度分布变化的方式影响经济活动。我们首先推导出累积热暴露的新测量方法,并通过使用1979-2016年期间近10亿个每日温度的全球数据集成功再现众所周知的热浪来验证这一方法。通过这些措施,我们发现夏季热浪意味着较低的人均产出,特别是在农业方面。此外,日积月累的暴露也很重要:连续几天的高温天气对人体的伤害要大得多。2003年法国热浪造成的农业损失估计是标准估算的13倍。

Location Basis Differentials in Crude Oil Prices 原油价格的地理位置差异
Pub Date : 2019-07-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2436908
P. Luong, Bruce Mizrach, Yoichi Otsubo
We examine the long-run pricing relationship among crude oil prices at the North Sea (Brent), Cushing (WTI) and Louisiana Gulf (LLS) delivery points. The Brent-WTI location basis differential is stable until January 2010, but it widens to record levels in the next two years. Brent and WTI prices are cointegrated prior to this structural break, but not after. We show that the recent Brent-WTI basis differential is Granger-caused by Chinese demand. U.S. retail gas prices respond to Brent and WTI before January 2010 and then only to Brent afterwards. We report on recent changes in the supply chain designed to profit from the Brent-WTI spread. Crude oil, once it reaches the Gulf of Mexico, is still cointegrated with the Brent benchmark. Refining capacity constraints in the Gulf region and export restrictions prevent U.S. suppliers from re-integrating WTI prices with Brent.
我们研究了北海(布伦特)、库欣(WTI)和路易斯安那湾(LLS)交割点原油价格之间的长期定价关系。在2010年1月之前,布伦特-西德克萨斯中质原油的位置基差保持稳定,但在未来两年将扩大至创纪录水平。在这种结构性突破之前,布伦特原油和西德克萨斯中质原油价格是协整的,但在此之后就不是。我们表明,最近布伦特-西德克萨斯中质原油的基差是由中国需求造成的。2010年1月之前,美国零售天然气价格对布伦特和西德克萨斯中质原油价格有反应,之后只对布伦特原油价格有反应。我们报道了最近供应链的变化,这些变化旨在从布伦特-西德克萨斯中质原油价差中获利。原油一旦运抵墨西哥湾,仍与布伦特基准原油价格同步。海湾地区炼油能力的限制和出口限制阻止了美国供应商将西德克萨斯中质原油价格与布伦特原油价格重新整合。

This study analyzes the potential impacts of a national emission trading scheme on provincial economies in China of meeting China's emission reduction pledges, the Nationally Determined Contributions announced under the Paris Agreement. The study developed a multiregional, multisectoral, recursive-dynamic computable general equilibrium model and calibrated it with the latest provincial-level social accounting matrices (2012). The study shows that meeting China's Nationally Determined Contributions through an emission trading scheme would reduce almost 30 percent of the emission reduction from the business as usual scenario in 2030. If the baseline is corrected based on information from a bottom-up energy sector model, TIMES, the required reduction of emissions from the baseline in 2030 drops by half, to 15 percent. At the national level, the emission trading scheme would cause a 1.2 to 1.5 percent reduction in gross domestic product from the business as usual scenario in 2030. If the baseline is corrected, the impact on gross domestic product drops by two-thirds. The emission trading scheme would cause some provincial economies to gain and others to lose. The economic impacts are highly sensitive to the allowance allocation rules. Not only the magnitudes, but also the directions of the economic impacts alter when the allocation rules change. The provinces that rely on coal mining or coal-intensive manufacturing industries are found to experience relatively larger economic losses irrespective of the allowance allocation rules.
本研究分析了国家碳排放交易计划对中国省级经济的潜在影响,以实现中国在《巴黎协定》下宣布的减排承诺——国家自主贡献。该研究开发了一个多地区、多部门、递归动态可计算的一般均衡模型,并使用最新的省级社会会计矩阵(2012年)对其进行了校准。该研究表明,通过排放交易计划实现中国的国家自主贡献,到2030年将使“一切照旧”情景下的减排减少近30%。如果根据自下而上的能源部门模型TIMES的信息对基线进行修正,到2030年所需的排放量将从基线减少一半,降至15%。在国家层面上,碳排放交易计划将导致2030年国内生产总值(gdp)比“一切照旧”情景减少1.2%至1.5%。如果基线得到修正,对国内生产总值(gdp)的影响将下降三分之二。碳排放交易计划将使一些省级经济受益,而另一些则会受损。经济影响对津贴分配规则高度敏感。随着分配规则的变化,经济影响的大小和方向也会发生变化。研究发现,无论配额分配规则如何,依赖煤炭开采或煤炭密集型制造业的省份遭受的经济损失相对较大。
