To maintain the critical dimension of gentrification, defined by the displacement of existing poorer people by late-coming wealthier people, this paper argues for a conceptual delinking culture-led regeneration from gentrification by presenting two case studies from Taiwan. These cases demonstrate that new aesthetic-oriented, culture- and creativity-related businesses, rather than existing traditional businesses and residents, are often less resilient toward rent increases. Rather than “gentrification,” rent increases affect the future of heritage remaking and community building. By examining the influx of unregulated street vendors and arcade merchandisers, this paper illustrates how gentrification fails to address the problems regenerated neighborhoods face.</p>","PeriodicalId":46525,"journal":{"name":"Developing Economies","volume":"64 1","pages":"40-56"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/deve.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146224123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study situates green gentrification within Chinese landscape aesthetics and state-led ecological civilization discourse, revealing how these frameworks enable the spatial and temporal reorganization of global capital in the locale. Using multimodal discourse analysis, supplemented by ethnographic and secondary data, the paper highlights non-Western perspectives on gentrification and uneven urban development. By approaching the locale with care, the analysis emphasizes the epistemological embeddedness of local gentrification processes within broader power structures and calls for decolonial approaches to urban studies.

{"title":"Economocracy: Global Economic Governance","authors":"Constantinos Challoumis - Κωνσταντίνος Χαλλουμής","doi":"10.3390/economies13080230","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/economies13080230","url":null,"abstract":"Economic systems face critical challenges, including widening income inequality, unemployment driven by automation, mounting public debt, and environmental degradation. This study introduces Economocracy as a transformative framework aimed at addressing these systemic issues by integrating democratic principles into economic decision-making to achieve social equity, economic efficiency, and environmental sustainability. The research focuses on two core mechanisms: Economic Productive Resets (EPRs) and Economic Periodic Injections (EPIs). EPRs facilitate proportional redistribution of resources to reduce income disparities, while EPIs target investments to stimulate job creation, mitigate automion-related job displacement, and support sustainable development. The study employs a theoretical and analytical methodology, developing mathematical models to quantify the impact of EPRs and EPIs on key economic indicators, including the Gini coefficient for inequality, unemployment rates, average wages, and job displacement due to automation. Hypothetical scenarios simulate baseline conditions, EPR implementation, and the combined application of EPRs and EPIs. The methodology is threefold: (1) a mathematical–theoretical validation of the Cycle of Money framework, establishing internal consistency; (2) an econometric analysis using global historical data (2000–2023) to evaluate the correlation between GNI per capita, Gini coefficient, and average wages; and (3) scenario simulations and Difference-in-Differences (DiD) estimates to test the systemic impact of implementing EPR/EPI policies on inequality and labor outcomes. The models are further strengthened through tools such as OLS regression, and Impulse results to assess causality and dynamic interactions. Empirical results confirm that EPR/EPI can substantially reduce income inequality and unemployment, while increasing wage levels, findings supported by both the theoretical architecture and data-driven outcomes. Results demonstrate that Economocracy can significantly lower income inequality, reduce unemployment, increase wages, and mitigate automation’s effects on the labor market. These findings highlight Economocracy’s potential as a viable alternative to traditional economic systems, offering a sustainable pathway that harmonizes growth, social justice, and environmental stewardship in the global economy. Economocracy demonstrates potential to reduce debt per capita by increasing the efficiency of public resource allocation and enhancing average income levels. As EPIs stimulate employment and productivity while EPRs moderate inequality, the resulting economic growth expands the tax base and alleviates fiscal pressures. These dynamics lead to lower per capita debt burdens over time. The analysis is situated within the broader discourse of institutional economics to demonstrate that Economocracy is not merely a policy correction but a new economic system akin to democracy in political life.","PeriodicalId":46525,"journal":{"name":"Developing Economies","volume":"13 8","pages":"230-230"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7099/13/8/230/pdf?version=1754573057","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
