It is people who create innovation, so the unequal distribution of human capital and innovation in the regions leads to development disparities between regions. This, in turn, is a force inhibiting the achievement of higher levels of prosperity at the national level. The existing studies mainly focus on the assessment of disparities in development between countries. Although understandings of mechanisms of regional disparities, i.e., assessment of how and whether disparities are disappearing or widening under current socio-economic conditions is crucial to economic stability and cohesion, the problem of determinants of development and the pace of development between regions has rarely been studied in the economic literature. The purpose of the article, therefore, is to show how quickly weaker regions are catching up with more developed regions and that regional disparities are mainly the result of uneven human capital accumulation. The authors wonder if human capital in the regions is used similarly to create innovation. Hence, they examine the rate of development of these two relationships. The research: (1) determines the pace of development and adjustment processes by using the dynamic time warping method, (2) discovers if human capital is the main driver of regional disparities and is fully utilized in the creation of innovativeness.","PeriodicalId":51460,"journal":{"name":"Technological and Economic Development of Economy","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87797807","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}

However, there is limited knowledge about the link between export diversification and the green economy. Thus, this research study explored the impact of such diversification on the green economy by considering the role of economic risk. A new dynamic panel threshold approach was applied to the global panel data of 112 countries from 1995 to 2014. The results support the U-shaped correlation between export diversification and the green economy with an increase in economic risk. Export diversification tends to weaken the green economy when economic risk is at lower levels, but it improves the economy after reaching a certain level of economic risk. We also found that the green economy has a persistent effect over time. Under all economic risk levels, the previous level of green economy development promotes current green economy development. These findings thus provide policymakers with crucial implications.","PeriodicalId":51460,"journal":{"name":"Technological and Economic Development of Economy","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86336961","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}

Scanner data are a relatively new and cheap data source for the calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the biggest advantage of scanner data is the full product information they provide already at the lowest level of aggregation. Thus, the digitization of the public sector becomes not only something that is needed but an actual necessity resulting from organisational and economic premises (e.g.: reduction of costs or time related to obtaining data). One of main challenges while using scanner data is the choice of the right price index. The list of potential price indices, which could be used in the scanner data case, is quite wide, i.e. bilateral and multilateral indices are used in practice. One of the most important criterion in selecting index formula for scanner data case is the potential reduction of the chain drift bias. The chain drift occurs if the index differs from unity when prices and quantities revert back to their base level. In the paper we present situations on the market leading to the serious chain drift bias. Our main hypothesis is that lagging consumers’ reaction to price changes is the cause of the chain drift effect. Moreover, the article is an attempt to answer the question whether the correlation of prices and quantities may have an influence on the scale and sign of the bias of the measurement of price dynamics. The study focuses also on the scale of over- and underestimation the target full-window multilateral indices by their corresponding splicing extensions. Finally, the paper verifies a hypothesis that the identity test is a key property in reducing chain drift bias. In order to verify the above research problems, both empirical and simulation studies were carried out. Our main result is the confirmation of earlier suspicions that delayed consumer response and price-quantity correlation are determinants of chain drift bias.","PeriodicalId":51460,"journal":{"name":"Technological and Economic Development of Economy","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83962280","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}

However, the relevance of analyzing effects of land marketization on ecological and environmental development cannot be overemphasized. The ecological and environmental effects of land marketization are the focus of this paper. We begin by developing a theoretical framework to investigate how land marketization affects eco-efficiency. Moreover, we develop a data envelopment analysis model to measure eco-efficiency. We empirically investigate the effect of land marketization on eco-efficiency using a data set of 251 cities in China over the period of 2003 to 2018. Both theoretical and empirical results show that the land marketization exerts positive effects on eco-efficiency. Specifically, a 100% increase in land marketization level leads to a 2.4 percent increase in eco-efficiency. The heterogeneous effects and spatial effects of the land marketization on eco-efficiency are also examined. Besides, the endogeneity issues are also discussed using instrumental variable approach. Finally, the mechanism analysis shows that land marketization improves eco-efficiency primarily through improving efficiency change, best practice change and technology gap change, respectively. The main conclusions are confirmed by several robustness checks.","PeriodicalId":51460,"journal":{"name":"Technological and Economic Development of Economy","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76068043","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}
