This paper presents a comparative analysis of the use of climate science for adaptation policy in Queensland, Australia and the UK. We examine policy players’ perceptions of climate science alongside prevailing political influences on evidence-based policy making. In Queensland, the evidence-based mandate has been weakened by partisan politics so that the political acceptability of evidence is a foremost concern for policy makers. In the UK, the evidence-based mandate is enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), yet here too political forces have sought to limit the acceptable use of climate science for policy making. Both cases reveal normative and political tensions in the interpretation and use of climate science, suggesting that important political challenges must be overcome by the scientific community to ensure the ongoing utility of climate science for policy making.
本文对澳大利亚昆士兰州和英国在适应政策中使用气候科学进行了比较分析。我们研究了政策参与者对气候科学的看法,以及对基于证据的政策制定的普遍政治影响。在昆士兰州,以证据为基础的授权已被党派政治削弱,因此证据的政治可接受性是政策制定者最关心的问题。在英国,《气候变化法案》(2008年)明文规定了以证据为基础的授权,但在这里,政治力量也试图限制气候科学在政策制定中的可接受使用。这两个案例都揭示了气候科学解释和使用中的规范和政治紧张关系,表明科学界必须克服重要的政治挑战,以确保气候科学在政策制定中的持续效用。

Monetary policy is unlikely to have a uniform impact on the real economic activity across regions with different industrial structures. This study measures the heterogeneous effects of monetary policy on regional and sectoral output of the 13 regions in Greece over the period 1980 to 2009. By using an unrestricted vector autoregressive model and the impulse response analysis, our results show that an interest rate shock affects the economic activity across regions differently. Furthermore in our investigation, we use a panel vector autoregressive model so as to investigate the dynamic variation of the impact of interest rates controlling also for time and cross regions fixed effects associated with specific time invariant regions' characteristics as well as with time variant characteristics attributed to the integration process of these regions. Finally, in identifying the channel of monetary policy transmission in the Greek regions, we investigate the role of Greek regional industrial structures in explaining these variations.
货币政策不太可能对不同产业结构地区的实体经济活动产生统一的影响。本研究测量了1980年至2009年期间希腊13个地区的货币政策对区域和部门产出的异质影响。通过使用不受限制的向量自回归模型和脉冲响应分析,我们的研究结果表明,利率冲击对不同地区经济活动的影响是不同的。此外,在我们的研究中,我们使用面板向量自回归模型来研究利率控制影响的动态变化,以及与特定时不变区域特征相关的时间和跨区域固定效应,以及归因于这些区域的整合过程的时变特征。最后,在确定希腊地区货币政策传导的渠道时,我们研究了希腊地区产业结构在解释这些变化中的作用。

As the global forest sector endures rapid crises and more gradually evolving social, political, and environmental influences, little attention has been paid to how forest administrators view changing sectoral conditions and response measures. We analyze policy frames mobilized by 27 senior actors within major private and state-owned companies, and government agencies in northern forest regions of Canada, Sweden, and Finland. Results show that four intervening theme areas are engaged by forest administrators to frame sectoral changes and responses, namely, the role of international markets; timber pricing and supply; the role of the state; and environmental policies. However, perceived regional differences in the level of impact of the international market changes, public versus private wood supply dependence, and satisfaction with forestry institutions lead actors to frame problems and solutions differently. While forest policy discourse is relatively consistent across these regions, responses are specified to regional contexts.
由于全球森林部门经历了迅速的危机和逐渐演变的社会、政治和环境影响,很少有人关注森林管理者如何看待不断变化的部门条件和应对措施。我们分析了加拿大、瑞典和芬兰北部森林地区主要私营和国有公司以及政府机构的27名高级行为者动员的政策框架。结果表明,森林管理者参与了四个中间主题领域,即国际市场的作用;木材定价与供应;国家的作用;以及环境政策。然而,在国际市场变化的影响程度、公共和私人对木材供应的依赖程度以及对林业机构的满意度等方面的区域差异导致行动者对问题和解决办法的看法不同。虽然这些区域的森林政策话语相对一致,但应对措施是根据区域具体情况而定的。

This case study of collaborative regional spatial planning in the North West region of England seeks to understand if ‘network power’ provides a sufficient incentive for the politically stronger and institutionally established players (particularly local government) to adopt a more flexible approach to consensus building. An observed failure in this respect, due to the overwhelming strength of the parochial interests of local government under network governance, leads to a suggestion to incentivise greater collaboration and consensus building at the strategic level through what has been termed ‘meta-governed citizen power’.
这个关于英格兰西北地区协作区域空间规划的案例研究旨在了解“网络力量”是否为政治上更强大和制度上建立的参与者(特别是地方政府)提供了足够的激励,以采取更灵活的方法来建立共识。由于网络治理下地方政府狭隘利益的压倒性力量,在这方面观察到的失败导致了一种建议,即通过所谓的“元治理公民权力”,在战略层面激励更大的合作和共识的建立。

To what extent do EU Structural Funds complement or substitute domestic public funds? The intended and unintended effects of the transfer of additional funds on recipients' domestic public expenditure structures are considered and their existence is empirically evaluated. After reviewing the literature on the complementarity, substitutability and displacement effects of additional funds on national and regional public expenditures, we empirically assess these effects in relation to EU funds in Italy. The empirical analysis is based on data on the allocation of EU Structural Funds from 1996 to 2010 with a regional and thematic breakdown and on the Italian Regional Public Accounts. The aim is to develop a useful framework, which can aid in effectively assessing to what extent Structural Funds, or other supranational funds, complement domestic public investments. In light of empirical results, the current verification mechanism in force in the EU is examined, stressing potential weaknesses and proposing possible solutions.
欧盟结构基金在多大程度上补充或替代国内公共基金?考虑了额外资金转移对受援国国内公共支出结构的有意和无意影响,并对其存在进行了经验评估。在回顾了关于额外资金对国家和地区公共支出的互补性、可替代性和置换效应的文献之后,我们以意大利的欧盟资金为例,实证地评估了这些效应。实证分析基于1996年至2010年欧盟结构基金的分配数据,其中包括区域和专题细分以及意大利区域公共账户。其目的是建立一个有用的框架,帮助有效评估结构性基金或其他超国家基金对国内公共投资的补充程度。根据实证结果,对欧盟现行的核查机制进行了审查,强调了潜在的弱点,并提出了可能的解决方案。

The aim of this article is to analyse the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures on knowledge-intensive industries in seven large urban areas in Spain. We will attempt to respond to three key questions: How have these activities evolved since the crisis? How have the fiscal austerity measures in force in the Eurozone since 2010 affected them? And finally, have large urban areas followed different development paths in recent years based on the extent of their exposure to the crisis? The analysis of employment tendencies confirms that both common trends and disparities exist, with knowledge-based industries displaying a resilient and countercyclical behaviour. Moreover, the implementation of fiscal austerity policies has had a very negative impact on these activities, but the individual consequences in each case depend on the strengths and weaknesses accumulated by each urban area over time.
本文的目的是分析经济危机和紧缩措施对西班牙七个大城市地区知识密集型产业的影响。我们将尝试回答三个关键问题:自危机以来,这些活动是如何演变的?欧元区自2010年以来实施的财政紧缩措施对他们有何影响?最后,近年来,大型城市地区是否根据受危机影响的程度,走上了不同的发展道路?对就业趋势的分析证实,共同趋势和差异都存在,知识型产业表现出弹性和反周期行为。此外,财政紧缩政策的实施对这些活动产生了非常消极的影响,但每一种情况的个别后果取决于每个城市地区长期积累的长处和短处。

A public-private partnership (PPP) is an organizational arrangement in which knowledge and resources are pooled in order to realize outcomes. Although PPPs have become common practice in spatial planning and development, there is a continuous search for their ideal organizational form and management. This is fueled by the often poor performance in terms of e.g. time delays and budget overruns. Whilst comparative studies have been conducted into the outcomes of certain organizational forms and management strategies, fewer comparative studies evaluate their combined effects. The goal of this study is to explore what configurations of certain organizational forms and management may produce good outcomes. This is done by conducting a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) of survey data of 50 managers involved in urban regeneration companies (URCs) in the Netherlands.
公私伙伴关系(PPP)是一种汇集知识和资源以实现成果的组织安排。虽然公私伙伴关系已经成为空间规划和发展的普遍做法,但对其理想的组织形式和管理仍在不断探索。这是由于经常表现不佳,例如时间延迟和预算超支。虽然对某些组织形式和管理策略的结果进行了比较研究,但很少有比较研究评估它们的综合效果。本研究的目的是探讨某些组织形式和管理的哪些配置可能产生良好的结果。这是通过对荷兰城市再生公司(URCs)的50名经理的调查数据进行模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA)来完成的。

Spatial gaps in environmental monitoring have important consequences for public policy and regulation of new industrial developments. In the case of Marcellus Shale gas extraction, a water-intensive new form of energy production that is taking place in the state of Pennsylvania (USA), the perception of large gaps in government water monitoring efforts have motivated numerous civil society organizations (CSOs) to initiate their own monitoring programs. Using geospatial mapping, this study reveals that nearly half of the watersheds in the region lack government water monitoring, and CSOs are the sole source of continuous or frequent monitoring data in 22% of the watersheds. While many watersheds remain unmonitored, the gaps do not map on to demographic characteristics typically associated with environmental injustice. This study probes both the reasons for and the implications of the gaps in watershed monitoring, drawing conclusions about the promise and limitations of citizen science.
环境监测方面的空间差距对公共政策和新工业发展的监管具有重要影响。以美国宾夕法尼亚州的马塞勒斯页岩气开采为例,这是一种耗水的新型能源生产方式。由于意识到政府在水资源监测方面存在巨大差距,许多民间社会组织(cso)开始了自己的监测项目。利用地理空间制图技术,本研究揭示了该地区近一半的流域缺乏政府水资源监测,而在22%的流域中,公民社会组织是连续或频繁监测数据的唯一来源。虽然许多流域仍未受到监测,但这些差距并没有反映出通常与环境不公正有关的人口特征。本研究探讨了流域监测差距的原因和影响,得出了关于公民科学的前景和局限性的结论。

Land supply and housing prices in Hong Kong: The political economy of urban land policy 香港土地供应与房价:城市土地政策的政治经济学
Pub Date : 2016-08-01 DOI: 10.1177/0263774X15614699

Urban land and housing market is a political arena where the government is usually expected by the general public to intervene for the benefit of the society. With the government owning all land in Hong Kong, public land auctions have been an important channel for developers to acquire land for property development, apart from private-led urban regeneration. For a long time before 1997, the government of Hong Kong supplied land to the market via a supply-oriented model which was entirely dependent on the willingness of government to sell. The situation changed in 1997 when the administration found that they were being unresponsive, and switched to a demand-oriented supply model, the Application List System. In any case, there is a general expectation in the society that government urban land policy in supplying land should have a major bearing on the housing market, especially in making housing more affordable by the general working class. By applying a Granger causality framework, we find this expectation unrealistic as there is no evidence supporting the claim that changing land supply via government land sale programme would impact on housing prices. However, it is found that housing prices do Granger-cause land supply under the Application List System which implies that private sector is more responsive to market changes than the government, which is ironic as the government decided to abandon this model and revert back to the old supply-oriented model in 2013. We conclude that the political economy of the urban land market has made the land supply model too subjective and dependent on government agenda, which is not a health development towards a more optimal urban land policy.
城市土地和住房市场是一个政治舞台,公众通常期望政府为社会利益而进行干预。由于香港所有土地均为政府所有,除了私人主导的市区更新外,公开土地拍卖一直是发展商取得土地进行物业发展的重要渠道。在1997年之前的很长一段时间里,香港政府以供给为导向的模式向市场供应土地,完全取决于政府的卖地意愿。在一九九七年,情况有所改变,当局发现他们反应迟钝,转而采用以需求为导向的供应模式,即申请名册制度。无论如何,社会上有一种普遍的期望,即政府的城市土地政策在供应土地方面应该对住房市场产生重大影响,特别是在使住房更容易为普通工人阶级所负担得起方面。通过应用格兰杰因果关系框架,我们发现这种期望是不现实的,因为没有证据支持通过政府土地出售计划改变土地供应会影响房价的说法。然而,我们发现,在申请名单制度下,房价确实会导致土地供应,这意味着私营部门对市场变化的反应比政府更敏感,这是具有讽刺意味的,因为政府决定放弃这一模式,并在2013年恢复到旧的供应导向模式。我们的结论是,城市土地市场的政治经济学使土地供应模式过于主观和依赖于政府议程,这不是朝着更优化的城市土地政策的健康发展。

By applying a Granger causality framework, we find this expectation unrealistic as there is no evidence supporting the claim that changing land supply via government land sale programme would impact on housing prices. However, it is found that housing prices do Granger-cause land supply under the Application List System which implies that private sector is more responsive to market changes than the government, which is ironic as the government decided to abandon this model and revert back to the old supply-oriented model in 2013. We conclude that the political economy of the urban land market has made the land supply model too subjective and dependent on government agenda, which is not a health development towards a more optimal urban land policy.","PeriodicalId":232420,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121735081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urban partnerships are an instrument of urban governance common in major urban development projects. However, the potential for these traditional urban policy instruments to promote climate-adapted greenfield development remains largely untested. This study examines this potential through an analysis of four urban development partnerships for master-planned estates in two rapidly urbanising regions of Australia. We interview private property developers, government land organisations and municipal level actors. The analysis focuses on the convergence, and tensions, between partners' goals of affordability, profitability and sustainability; benefits and risks of partnering; and, the management of assets over time, in light of environmental risks. The partnerships studied contributed to the state's capacity to implement policy efficiently, encourage innovation and de-risk projects for private partners. However, these initiatives also transferred longer term environmental risks to the broader planning system and to non-partners. The central role of the state in coordinating these arrangements presents opportunities to redress these limitations.
城市伙伴关系是主要城市发展项目中常见的城市治理工具。然而,这些传统的城市政策工具在促进适应气候变化的绿地开发方面的潜力在很大程度上仍未经检验。本研究通过对澳大利亚两个快速城市化地区总体规划的四个城市发展伙伴关系的分析,考察了这一潜力。我们采访了私人房地产开发商、政府土地组织和市级行为者。分析的重点是合作伙伴的可负担性、盈利能力和可持续性目标之间的趋同和矛盾;合作的好处和风险;同时,考虑到环境风险,对资产进行长期管理。所研究的伙伴关系有助于提高国家有效实施政策、鼓励创新和为私营合作伙伴降低项目风险的能力。然而,这些举措也将长期的环境风险转移到更广泛的规划系统和非合作伙伴。国家在协调这些安排方面的中心作用为纠正这些限制提供了机会。
