Accordingly, as a member of the United Nations, North Korea also established a new strategic framework for cooperation with the United Nations in 2016 to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This UN Strategic Framework (UNSF) has covered the period 2017-2021 and was co-signed by the UN Country Team (UNCT) led by the Resident Coordinator in DPR Korea. Under the international sanctions leveled against North Korea, it has reflected its strategic focus for implementing SDGs in its five-year national development plan adopted at the seventh party congress held in May 2016, and announced measures to implement the SDGs in major areas such as energy, food and agriculture, drinking water and sanitation, forest restoration and environmental protection. Since the UN has also pushed for voluntary review and sharing of best practices in the regional cooperation, the establishment of SDGs on the Korean Peninsula linking the two Koreas could greatly contribute to enhancing global partnerships. In order to promote full-fledged development cooperation to implement SDGs, North Korea’s institutional building and human capacity building are key objectives, pointing toward the need to expand the foundation for technology cooperation projects in hand with various international organizations and private institutions, and to prepare ways to link inter-Korean cooperation.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130368309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study adopts the Ricardian approach to investigate whether people’s confidence in such local and national organizations is reflected in farmland rents in rural India. By using repeated cross-sectional household and monthly rainfall data, econometric modeling results indicate a positive relationship between farmland rents and a constructed index of confidence in different organizations. Accounting for the potential endogeneity in this index, TSLS results, with a monthly marginal implicit rent (M-MIR) of $13.32 per acre, reveal an even stronger and significant impact. This implies that the M-MIR of farmlands, of people’s confidence in institutional arrangements is equivalent to 83% of the monthly rural poverty line for a five-member household. The instrument selected to address the potential endogeneity in the confidence index is men’s exposure to mass media in the household. Factors controlled for include - households’ participation in community groups, land area, mode of irrigation, seasonal rainfall, village level information on cattle prices, and distance to different amenities. The findings support the critical importance of continued investment in regional and national entities that oversee and implement various institutional arrangements for facilitating greater cooperation within farming communities.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128679526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, their effects are positive (or non-significant) in both directions. However, none of the existing works control properly for double causality. In this vein, energy governance has a remarkable importance to regulate energy use, which may favor economic growth through a more efficient use of energy in the production process. For a set of 32 OECD countries, we construct an energy efficiency governance index for the 2000-2015 period, which is used as an external instrument to characterize the effect of energy consumption on income growth. We find that the index only affects income growth through its impact on energy consumption growth. The estimated elasticity between (energy-governance-driven) energy consumption and income growth is close to unity, which almost double the elasticity commonly found in the literature and triple the one estimated under OLS fixed effects. For the other side of causality, we use the previous estimations to construct an adjusted GDP growth series, where the response of economic activity to energy consumption growth (driven by energy governance) is ruled-out. We obtain a large negative elasticity (about -3.0), which is of opposite sign to our OLS fixed effects estimates and to the usual finding in the literature. Thus, energy consumption driven by improvements in energy efficiency governance enhances growth, while income growth improves a more efficient use of energy.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"16 28","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120861333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, forest dependent livelihood in countries like Bangladesh making this task very critical. In the case of the poor and forest-dependent livelihood in the Sundarbans area of Bangladesh, an eco-friendly ecotourism may provide an alternative livelihood, which mayreduce the overexploitation from the valuable Sundarbans forest ecosystems. Furthermore, this initiative may also serve to aware people on the value of this unique ecosystems. Therefore, this study discusses the scope, benefits and challenges for developing sustainable ecotourism within the protected area. It focuses on the development of a potential site for sustainable ecotourism inside the Sundarbans Reserve Forest.

The S-estimation method of the robust least squares estimator was employed for analysis of annual time series data spanning the period from 1990 to 2017. The study finds that energy poverty adversely affects the nation’s economic development, implying that improved access to electricity is development-enhancing. Domestic investment and labour force are also found to be crucial development factors in the country. However, FDI inflows, trade openness and currency depreciation are found to have adversely affected the development of the nation’s economy, highlighting the (low) extent of preparedness of the country for the vagaries of globalization. In view of the empirical evidence, to enhance the development of the nation’s economy (and the standard of living therein), the study recommends expansion of rural and urban electrification; reduction of electricity tariffs; design and implementations of policies and programmes to encourage domestic investment; labour force development; import controls and export promotion; prevention of excessive depreciation of the domestic currency; and implementation of appropriate FDI policies to mitigate its adverse effects on development","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116704061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(2017), and test the empirical relationship between environmental regulation and corporate financial performance using a fixed effects model. We find that: First, the Porter hypothesis per se is not supported in China’s manufacturing sector, and environmental regulation often lowers manufacturing enterprises’ financial performance. Second, property rights protection has a positive impact on corporate financial performance, and a good property rights environment can mitigate the negative impact of environmental regulation on corporate financial performance by inducing corporate innovations. Third, property rights protection exhibits differential extent of its moderating effect on the relationship between environmental regulation and enterprise performance across different types of enterprises in terms of their ownership natures and the regional economic development level of their geographic locations. All of our main results survive several robustness checks that we performed. We confirm that Porter hypothesis in general is not applicable for China’s manufacturing enterprises at present, but the moderating effect of property rights protection is steering the relationship between environmental regulations and corporate financial performance towards the path of Porter hypothesis, thereby in the future a win-win situation of environmental protection and corporate financial performance improvement may be achieved.","PeriodicalId":320822,"journal":{"name":"Development Economics: Agriculture","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114599969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
