China: making "green" and "smart" cars a priority / Sazonov, Sergei ; Xiao, Chen   Journal Article
Sazonov, Sergei Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract China's rapid economic development over the past three decades has multiplied power consumption, while the population's income growth has stimulated a dramatic increase in the production and sales of cars. These factors have increased the country's dependence on imports of petroleum products and deteriorated the environmental situation in the PRC. Being aware of these challenges, the government is radically reorganizing the automotive industry on the basis of new energy, creating an innovative motor vehicle fleet and corresponding new-generation infrastructure.

Fiscal decentralization and environmental pollution: evidence from Chinese panel data / He, Qichun   Article
He, Qichun Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract China's environmental pollution casts a shadow on its economic success. Concerning fiscal decentralization, China introduced the rule-based tax assignment system in 1994. To avoid the structural change in underlying fiscal regimes, we use the provincial panel data during the period 1995–2010. We find that fiscal decentralization has no significant effect on environmental pollution as it is measured per capita emission of wastewater, waste gas or solid waste in system GMM (Generalized method of moments) estimation. Our results are robust when we use different measures of fiscal decentralization. We further find that fiscal decentralization has a significant, positive effect on pollution abatement spending and pollutant discharge fees, which indicates possible mechanisms for fiscal decentralization to help protect the environment.

How population and energy price affect China's environmental pollution? / Li, Kunming   Journal Article
Li, Kunming Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper examines the impact of population and energy price on China's environmental pollution through both industrial and residential channels. Our theoretical models reveal that the influences of population on environmental pollution are contingent on wage stickiness and wage elasticity. We also predict that environment pollution decreases with rising energy price, but downward energy price distortion intensifies environmental pollution. We test these hypotheses using panel data of 30 Chinese provinces from 2001 to 2016 and employing both constant coefficient and time-varying coefficient panel data models to conduct analyses. Our empirical results show that population growth, increased urbanization, and energy price distortion all intensify environmental pollution, while population aging and rising energy price tend to alleviate environmental pollution. Our results also reveal significant regional and time heterogeneity on the impact of population factors and energy price on China's environmental pollution.

Living with pollution: juggling environmental and social risk in Vietnam's craft villages / Dang, Trung Dinh; Mahanty, Sango; Mackay, Susan   Journal Article
Dang, Trung Dinh Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Vietnam's rural provinces are home to thousands of craft villages; communities engaged in small- and medium-scale manufacturing of a range of goods, from recycled paper products to processed food. Since the liberalization of the Vietnamese economy in 1986, craft villages have played a significant role in poverty reduction and livelihood diversification for rural households, and currently employ nearly one-third of Vietnam's rural labor force. However, the rapid expansion of craft manufacturing, combined with a lack of planning, has brought increased air, soil, and water pollution to craft villages and surrounding areas. Pollution levels are now so serious that they pose a major risk to local health and agriculture. This article examines why producers continue to expose themselves to environmental pollution and its associated health risks. Drawing on four case studies of craft villages in the Red River Delta region of northern Vietnam, the authors find that risk is a multidimensional phenomenon. Craft production typically involves a value chain of closely connected family economic units and takes place against a backdrop of fierce competition for market share both within Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia. In this context, the current policy of managing the environmental risks of pollution through regulation requires producers to take risks in other domains of equal or greater importance to them; their livelihoods and social relations. Craft producers make explicit trade-offs between the risks of ill health and the security that family and community ties provide in the face of uncertain production space, markets, and livelihoods. These findings highlight the importance of thinking

Prediction of China's coal production-environmental pollution b / Yu, Shiwei; Wei, Yi-ming   Journal Article
Wei, Yi-Ming Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This paper proposes a hybrid model based on genetic algorithm (GA) and system dynamics (SD) for coal production-environmental pollution load in China. GA has been utilized in the optimization of the parameters of the SD model to reduce implementation subjectivity. The chain of "Economic development-coal demand-coal production-environmental pollution load" of China in 2030 was predicted, and scenarios were analyzed. Results show that: (1) GA performs well in optimizing the parameters of the SD model objectively and in simulating the historical data; (2) The demand for coal energy continuously increases, although the coal intensity has actually decreased because of China's persistent economic development. Furthermore, instead of reaching a turning point by 2030, the environmental pollution load continuously increases each year even under the scenario where coal intensity decreased by 20% and investment in pollution abatement increased by 20%; (3) For abating the amount of "three types of wastes", reducing the coal intensity is more effective than reducing the polluted production per tonne of coal and increasing investment in pollution control.
