文摘This study proposes a framework for the concept of“new quality productive forces”in the ice and snow economy(ISE)as a strategic response to global climate change and the demands of technological and industrial transformation for high-quality development.These new quality productive forces in the ISE have developed alongside the zonal distribution of natural resources,strictly adhere to ecological principles,and integrate value transformation mechanisms specific to ice and snow resources.Their development is projected to generate multiple benefits across ecological,economic,and social dimensions.The new quality productive forces in the ISE are characterized by technology-driven resource development,synergistic integration across the entire ice and snow industry value chain,and a focus on high-quality,green growth.Grounded in geography and economics,the new quality productive forces in the ISE link scientific innovation,the reallocation of productive factors,and industrial upgrading within the context of resource constraints.Furthermore,they expand the growth potential of the ISE by fostering new production relations through digital,intelligent,and green integration,while advancing low-carbon,sustainable development under the guiding principle that“ice and snow landscapes are also mountains of gold and silver.”For China's ISE,these new quality productive forces emphasize rigorous resource protection,balanced human-environment relationships,a resilient integrated supply chain framework,and an efficient“dual circulation”economic model.Practical strategies include integrating production factors,optimizing spatial resource allocation,fostering industrial synergy,and adapting production relations,all aimed at advancing the sustainable and high-quality development of China's ISE.
文摘As low-altitude airspace becomes increasingly accessible and eVTOL(electric vertical take-off and landing)technologies advance,the low-altitude economy has emerged as a transformative frontier in urban mobility and industrial restructuring.Although countries face comparable technological opportunities,their development paths diverge significantly.This divergence is shaped not only by policy choices and innovation capacity but also by underlying differences in institutional architectures,resource configurations,and implementation mechanisms.This paper proposes a Development Path Evolution Model grounded in four structural elements:technological capability,institutional systems,infrastructure,and application scenarios.Based on this framework,the study identifies three archetypal path types(technology-led,institution-led,and scenario-driven)and empirically validates the model through comparative case studies of the United States,Europe,and Japan.Applying the model to China reveals a distinct"hybrid scenario-driven path",characterized by demand-responsive pilots,decentralized institutional flexibility,and strong engineering capacity.Using Shanghai as a representative case,the study outlines five strategic levers to guide its transition from a localized pilot zone to a platform-based governance hub with national and international relevance.The research contributes to theoretical understanding of path differentiation in emerging industries and provides actionable insights for developing economies with strong mobilization capacity and industrial ecosystems.

文摘In the Turkish Economy,there were radical changes in the structure of the economy with the policies of opening up to the outside world and transition to a free market economy in the 1980s,and the last step of this opening up and liberalization process was realized with the decision number 32 in 1989.We can say that with the liberalization of capital movements in the 1990s,economic growth and development were tried to be achieved through hot money inflows rather than direct foreign investments.This trend made the economy more open to crises,and for the first time,a crisis occurred in the form of the 1994 economic crisis,which was understood to be caused by hot money.The same economic structure experienced a financial and economic crisis caused by hot money again in November 2000 and February 2001.While the crisis was overcome with the stand-by agreement made with the IMF(International Monetary Fund)and the announced Transition to a Strong Economy program,the economy started to grow rapidly with the ease of using foreign resources,and political stability seems to have enabled this economic growth process to continue uninterruptedly except 2009.There was also a decrease in inflation rates.The same economic structure continued in the period between 2010 and 2020,and the financing need of economic growth was met by outsourcing.However,this process was different from the previous decade and there was no economic and financial crisis other than the sudden increase in exchange rates in 2018.We can say that the sudden exchange rate increase in 2018 was perceived as a harbinger of possible exchange rate shocks in the following years.
文摘[Objectives]To study the factors influencing the tourism economy in Henan Province.[Methods]Using tourism-related data from Henan Province covering the period from 2000 to 2020,this study constructs a regression model based on multivariate statistical methods to investigate the determinants of the tourism economy.The dependent variable in the model is the domestic tourism revenue of Henan Province,while the independent variables comprise the number of tourist arrivals,total operational railway mileage,the number of travel agencies,and the per capita disposable income of urban residents.[Results]Both the total railway mileage and the per capita disposable income of urban residents are the primary factors influencing the development of Henan's tourism economy.[Conclusions]It is recommended to reduce uncertainty and liquidity constraints to mitigate residents'precautionary savings behavior,actively expand domestic demand to leverage tourism as an economic driver,and improve infrastructure to support tourism development.

文摘Marine pollution is a well-recognized phenomenon that has many negative effects on the marine environment.The effects of marine pollution are due to the discharge of hazardous materials,toxins,or other pollutants into the marine environment,which includes seas,estuaries,oceans,and other water bodies,and this unwanted input affects the blue economy.The blue economy,which includes industries and research associated with marine and ocean resources,is often affected by marine pollution on multiple levels,such as economic costs,direct resource impacts,health risks,and infrastructure damage.In one report,the pollution-related issues in many countries were estimated at 9 t/inh and clean-up costs between$12 to$160/t.More extensive pollution mitigation projects might take up to 15 years to conclude and cost up to$500/t.To better understand the role of marine pollution and its impact on the blue economy,some key parameters are discussed as follows:the role of biofouling,volatile organic compounds,the impact of metals,anionic pollutants,and antifouling coatings.The review findings also highlight the impact of marine pollution on ecosystems and associated economic activities,which could be reduced through measures such as better international cooperation,waste management,and the development of sustainable practices.Related information on the strategies and policies that could be adopted for sustainable blue economy are stated after each section.
