It plays a significant role in promoting coordinated development between urban and rural regions. However, the impact pathways and effects of township economy on the coordinated development of urban and rural economy have not been effectively evaluated yet. We use data from 24,758 township units in 2017 to examine towns’ economic characteristics, selecting 312 prefecture-level cities to measure economic patterns and quantify TEL from absolute and relative perspectives to analyze the impact on urban–rural income gap. The results show that the impact of TEL on the urban–rural income gap is significantly heterogeneous in space. The higher level of urbanization and industrial development in townships, the more conducive it is to narrowing the urban-rural income gap. The urbanization of townships in the eastern region has a greater impact on the urban-rural income gap, while industrial development of townships in the western region has a greater impact on the urban-rural income gap. The high level multicenter TEL can alleviate the urban–rural income gap in places with large urban space, while a high level single-center TEL can narrow the urban–rural income gap in places with small urban space.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102150"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143134504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we study the optimal information acquisition strategy, and find that the capital-constrained retailer would acquire more accurate demand information when the information acquisition cost is below the threshold value, which is different under different financing options and information disclosure ways. Next, we study the optimal information disclosure strategy, and find that the capital-constrained retailer would disclose the acquired information when the market potential is below a threshold value. The capital-constrained retailer is more willing to acquire information under voluntary disclosure, and voluntary disclosure is profitable when the information acquisition cost is below the threshold value. Then, we study information acquisition incentive under different financing options, and find that the capital-constrained retailer under external financing is more likely to acquire more accurate demand information. Finally, we study the optimal financing strategy. We find that with information acquisition, trade credit financing is optimal if and only if the specified condition is satisfied under different information disclosure ways; while with information non-acquisition, trade credit financing is always optimal. We also employ a numerical method to validate the main results. These findings help the capital-constrained supply chain facing the uncertain demand market to improve operational efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102149"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143134562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economics exists to study the behaviour of individual or group economic agents in allocating resources for production, distribution, and consumption.

Indeed, economic development and litigation have evolved hand in hand, which led to a growing difference between supply and demand with a direct impact on judicial efficiency. However, evaluating the functioning of judicial machinery has been addressed superficially in the literature. Furthermore, grasping the big picture of judicial efficiency in a structured way has never been attempted. Therefore, this integrative literature review investigates judicial efficiency within the European context by synthesising law and economics research. From over 6,500 articles, 50 were critically analysed, offering new perspectives for future research and policy implications on enhancing European judicial systems. This analysis concerned bibliographic data (e.g., 80% of the studies have been published over the last decade), application context (e.g., Italian courts are the most studied entities), model structure (e.g., Data Envelopment Analysis-based methods are the most used ones to measure judicial efficiency), and key findings (e.g., courts across Europe are very heterogeneous). In the end, we provide several renewed perspectives on judicial efficiency that can pave the way for the future of this topic.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102137"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143134503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper proposes a benchmarking approach through a bi-objective Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model used in evaluating 30 European countries at the subnational level in terms of performance indicators, which are disaggregated by gender. Thus, the model incorporates information on gender equality and employs it to set region-specific targets seeking both to close the gap between actual performances and best practices (i.e., minimizing the efforts for improving performance) and to close the gender gap. Varying the importance attached to each of the two objectives considered, the proposed approach generates a series of targets that allow us to identify alternative planning strategies for improving performance toward best practices while at the same time closing the gender gap.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"98 ","pages":"Article 102138"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143134551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employing the undesirable super-slacks-based measure (SBM) and the Malmquist-Luenberger (ML) index, we assess the low-carbon TFP growth across 31 Chinese provinces from 2000 to 2021. The Dagum–Gini coefficient and variance decomposition are applied to analyze disparities from both regional and structural perspectives. An econometric model further validates the influence of economic development on low-carbon TFP growth. Our findings reveal that China's technical efficiency (TE) and low carbon TE initially show a declining trend, with the gap between them narrowing over time. The eastern region consistently demonstrates high low-carbon TE, while the northeastern region lags. All regions exhibit positive low-carbon TFP growth, with efficiency change (EC) significantly contributing to this growth. Although economic development generally fosters low-carbon TFP growth, marked regional heterogeneity persists. Interestingly, certain traditionally economically developed regions, such as the eastern region, exert a significantly negative impact on low-carbon TFP growth.
