  • On Modeling Environmental Production Characteristics: a Slacks-Based Measure for China’S Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone
    Comput Econ DOI 10.1007/s10614-014-9467-2 On Modeling Environmental Production Characteristics: A Slacks-Based Measure for China’s Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone Ning Zhang · Fanbin Kong · Chih-Chun Kung Accepted: 22 August 2014 © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract Environmental issues are currently of great concern, especially in the area of sustainable development. Thus, data envelopment analysis (DEA) has enjoyed much popularity, given its ability to measure environmental efficiency and shadow prices at the macro-economic level. In this study, we use the duality theory of slacks-based mea- sure in DEA to develop a general procedure for modeling environmental production characteristics. By using the proposed methodology, we can measure environmental technical efficiency, the shadow prices of emissions, and inter-factor substitution pos- sibilities. Further, we use the proposed methodology to carry out an empirical study of the Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone in China. Finally, we suggest some policy implications based on the study’s empirical results. Keywords SBM–DEA · Shadow prices of externalities · Substitution possibilities · Poyang Lake Ecological Economics Zone 1 Introduction Environmental deterioration is a prevalent side effect of economic growth. To address this issue, the World Commission on Environment and Development introduced the concept of sustainable development in 1987, when it defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Our common future). Since then, there has been increasing interest in environmental production modeling, as environmental efficiency and productivity are both key factors in sustainable development.

  • Sacred Landscape in Southern Song and Yuan Jizhou
    CHAPTER TWO SACRED LANDSCAPE IN SOUTHERN SONG AND YUAN JIZHOU The geographical focus of this book is on a part of Jiangxi province, one of the provinces of south-central China. In the north the Yangzi River forms its boundary; towards the south, east, and west, the province is hemmed in by mountain ranges. From these surrounding mountains several rivers spring forth that ow towards the Yangzi River in the north and drain in Lake Poyang 鄱陽, now the largest freshwater lake in China. Lake Poyang functions as an important over ow basin for the Yangzi River, and changes considerably in size during the course of the year depending on the levels of the river. The Gan, one of the largest tributary rivers of the Yangzi River and the province’s central river system, served as its most important transport system. It origi- nates in the south of the province and ] ows northwards for over 751 kilometres (see Map 2). Jiangxi’s lower mountains and hills as well as its river basins provide fertile arable land (over 65% of the province), much of which is given to paddy \ elds. The area’s sub-tropical climate and abundant surface water, combined with almost a full year’s growing season make the area ideal for rice cultivation, and most places annually produce two crops of rice. Other crops include tea, sugarcane, sweet potato, citrus fruit and \ brous plants (ramie and cotton). The mountains and hills were originally covered with evergreen and broad-leaf vegetation, when timber and pine resin were important products of the region, but more recently erosion has caused serious problems and the timber production has sharply declined.
