Vulnerability is often related to economic factors, but people living alone are often at risk. The goal of this study is to classify Italian municipalities based on the prevailing characteristics of their one-person households, identifying areas of greater or lesser fragility. This classification constitutes a tool to plan people-based policies. Starting from the 2020 Italian Permanent Population and Housing Census data, a decision algorithm was used to identify municipalities according to the different types of their one-person households and to study their geographical distribution throughout the country.

This paper deals with target setting in situations where decision makers (DMs) have previously made a selection of peer candidates for the benchmarking of a given organization. A first approach is developed within the framework of conventional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), which is the technology mostly used in non-parametric frontier analysis. It provides targets from reference sets consisting of peer candidates that span a face of the strong efficient frontier of the production possibility set (PPS). These targets result from solving a DEA-like model, thus preventing from the need to identify all of the maximal efficient faces (MEFs) of the DEA frontier. We also propose a second approach where the convexity in DEA is somehow relaxed to allow additionally for reference sets consisting of candidates that are Pareto-efficient, provided that their convex hull is not dominated by other units. In that sense, the targets found can be seen as representing best practices. This approach broadens the range of alternatives when planning improvements, and may eventually provide closer targets.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 102020"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038012124002192/pdfft?md5=23a32d12d6aaa47b1899c5011b183e86&pid=1-s2.0-S0038012124002192-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141623010","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 policy aims to revitalise the nation’s economic landscape by fostering round-the-clock operations in key sectors. This paper employs a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model framework, underpinned by the 2015 Ghana Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and the 2021 Ghana Population and Housing Census (PHC) data, to evaluate the potential impact of the policy on Ghana’s economy.</p><p>Results indicate that under the proposed ‘24-hour economy’ policy, Ghana’s real GDP growth (not to be confused with GDP growth rate) in ten years would be 31.71% higher than it would have been under a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario in the same timeframe. This indicates substantial augmentations in economic output within the Ghanaian economy under a ‘24-hour economy’ setting. Further, the policy would generate more than 3 million jobs within five years of its implementation, with manufacturing, agriculture, wholesale and retail trade, services, construction and transport sectors experiencing substantial employment gains.</p><p>The policy’s transformative effects are driven by its ability to stimulate capital investment and capital formation, boost productivity and increase household incomes.</p><p>The paper concludes that the NDC’s proposed ‘24-hour economy’ policy holds substantial potential for transformative economic growth in Ghana. However, there are potential challenges associated with the implementation of the policy, which then necessitates a holistic approach to policy formulation, focusing on inclusive growth and sustainable development strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":22033,"journal":{"name":"Socio-economic Planning Sciences","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 102017"},"PeriodicalIF":6.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141606775","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}

From an eminently economic perspective, and working with the GDP per capita of the EU NUTS-2 regions for the period 2003-2021, this paper aims to provide evidence of a lack of territorial economic cohesion through a beta and sigma convergence methodology by applying cross-sectional and spatial panel data analysis.</p><p>The findings show that the speed of convergence depends mainly on the level of economic development, its cycles and the heterogeneity of the, which implies conditional convergence.

In general terms, the results reveal convergence speeds of the entire NUTS-2 regions between 7 and 11 per cent (much higher than 2 per cent under absolute convergence). Likewise, when considering spatial dependence, a reduction in convergence speeds between approximately 3 and 8 per cent is detected.

It is necessary to make sustainable urban transport policies to mitigate the harmful effects of current transportation systems. One of the essential issues in making cities cleaner is the propulsion technology of light commercial vehicles (LCVs). Most of the LCVs are compressed natural gas (CNG) and diesel-powered. However, cleaner, sustainable power sources, such as hydrogen, hybrid, solar, and electric have appeared in the market. This paper addresses the selection of propulsion technology for LCVs up to 3.5 tones for the Czech Post vehicle fleet. In this study, three main pillars are considered: economic, socio-environmental, and technical. Czech Post currently uses CNG-powered vehicles to transport shipments in penultimate mile delivery. The integrated FullEX-alternative ranking order method accounting for the two-step normalization (AROMAN) approach selects the best sustainable propulsion technology for the Czech Post vehicle fleet. The FullEX method identifies the criteria weights, while the AROMAN method ranks propulsion technologies. The results of the integrated approach reveal that the best propulsion technology for penultimate mile delivery is electrically powered, followed by hydrogen, hybrid, and CNG. A comparative analysis with other multi-criteria decision-making methods is also performed. The results confirm that the electrically powered solution is the best. The sensitivity analysis is carried out.
