The Kuzbass-2035 Strategy: Harmonizing with Coal

Regional cooperation plays a pivotal role in driving both regional and global economic growth, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) stands as a significant catalyst for the economic and social development of the countries and regions along its routes. Based on economic and social data spanning from 2011 to 2019 across 40 countries, this research employs the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) evaluation method to construct a Regional Economic and Social Development Index. Subsequently, employing a multi-period difference-in-differences model, the study meticulously examines the positive impact of the BRI on the development trajectory of relevant countries. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the influence of the BRI is notably pronounced in developing nations, China's neighboring countries, and those along the Maritime Silk Road. Our research contributes significantly to elucidating the effects of regional cooperation on regional economic development, thus reinforcing the trajectory of economic globalization. Furthermore, we offer insightful policy recommendations for the future evolution of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Logistics enterprises, as an important driving force of China’s economic development, are facing both opportunities and challenges. Chinese logistics enterprises urgently need to heighten their international competitiveness and enhance their own competitive advantages. This paper studies the impact of ICT capability of Chinese logistics enterprises on their competitive advantages by using dynamic capability as the Mediating Effect, and puts forward the hypothesis that the ICT capability of Chinese logistics enterprises has a positive impact on the dynamic capability of enterprises, and the dynamic capability has a positive impact on their competitive advantages. By collecting data through a questionnaire survey, it analyzes the reliability and validity of ICT capability, dynamic capability and competitive advantages of Chinese logistics enterprises as well as the relationship among various dimensions, and studies the path model of ICT capability and dynamic capability affecting competitive advantages. By means of SPSS and AMOS analysis, the results turn out that ICT capability of logistics enterprises has a significant impact on dynamic capability; dynamic capability has a significant impact on competitive advantages; ICT capability has no direct impact on competitive advantages, but it has a significant impact on competitive advantages with dynamic capability as the Mediating Effect. This paper verifies the impact of ICT capability of logistics enterprises on their competitive advantages as well as the mediatioin effect of dynamic capability, which provides an important theoretical basis for sharpening the competitive advantages of logistics enterprises. Therefore, logistics enterprises should give full play to and use ICT capabilities to enhance their dynamic capabilities and then upgrade their competitive advantages.

Sports infrastructure development signals a major economic development in regional and local areas. It has considered one of the main policies related to promoting public health, by various studies. However, economic factors also come into play in the design and location of sports facilities. Our research aims to examine whether the economic development in the regions in Spain helps promote sports infrastructure development, using a synthetic indicator. We also examine the potential relationships in the main economic indicators that determine the wealth and economic development of the regions. There is a significant relationship between the degree of economic development in each Spanish region and the level of sports infrastructure resources. Insufficient investment in sports infrastructure, leads to fewer opportunities for Physical Activity by the population. These results should serve to redirect building planning and sports management policies onto the right path, and also give food for thought.

The digital economy is booming in the era of smart mobile cloud. The industrial transformation and upgrading of enterprises and the adjustment of economic structure have profoundly changed the employment structure and post capacity requirements. Intelligent technology permeates life and economy in an all-round way, shaping a new model of financial work. The new forms and new contents of accounting work will inevitably cause education to rethink the cultivation of employment and entrepreneurship ability of students majoring in big data and accounting (formerly accounting). As the output of the driving force for the sustainable development of regional economy, the cultivation of technical and skilled talents and employment and entrepreneurship education in higher vocational colleges should closely integrate with the development of local economy. This paper takes Wenzhou as an example, based on the perspective of serving the development of Wenzhou's regional economy in the era of big intelligence transfer, From four aspects of reorienting the training objectives of accounting talents, optimizing the professional curriculum system, carrying out high-quality practical teaching, and reforming the talent evaluation mechanism, this paper constructs the training path of employment and entrepreneurship ability of graduates of this major, and puts forward corresponding countermeasures to improve the quality of professional talent training.

It is important to analyze the manifestations of the crisis at the regional level, which allows both regional (local) and national authorities to develop effective support tools. From this point of view, it is important to clearly understand which aspects of economic development the crisis has a key impact on, and whether such impact is uniform across different sectors and areas of economic development. Much attention is paid to the problem of assessing the state of the business environment. However, the main disadvantage of most of them is that they are sometimes difficult to conduct in terms of operational analysis and availability of open data. The object of research is the processes of studying the state of the region's economy. The subject of the research is the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic crisis on the region's economies. In the process of scientific research, we solved such tasks: identification of key problematic factors in relation to regional economic development, including caused by pandemic and lockdown; reliable, freely available and up-to-date sources of statistical information on regional economic development are identified; a comprehensive method of generalizing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis on regional economic development. We proposed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic crisis on the economic development of the regions of Ukraine on the example of Sumy region. The analysis is based on open data from static authorities, which periodically publish monthly and quarterly information. The study confirmed the serious negative impact of lockdown and pandemic on the economic development of the region in a number of key indicators: the index of industrial production, the volume of industrial products sold, freight turnover and passenger turnover. At the same time, we observe a generally neutral impact of the crisis on such regional indicators of economic development as the volume of commodity export and import transactions and the stability of retail trade.

This paper examines the relationship between different forms of agricultural credit, regional agricultural growth, and regional economic development. The sample we study consists of 51 rural commercial banks operating in Jiangsu Province, China. For analytical purposes, a random-effects (RE) model and the generalized method of moments (GMM) are employed to analyze agricultural credit’s relationship to regional agricultural and economic growth. Our results reveal that overall agricultural loans have a significant positive effect on both regional agricultural and economic growth. Furthermore, loans to farmers and rural enterprises also have a significant positive relationship to both regional agricultural and economic growth. Moreover, farmers’ microcredit loans and student loans, rural individual industrial and commercial household loans, and other types of loans to farmers also have a significant positive relationship to regional agricultural growth. The latter two types also have a significant positive relationship to regional economic growth. We conclude that promoting agricultural credit from rural commercial banks stimulates regional agricultural growth and overall economic development in Jiangsu Province.

Under the dual background of innovation-driven development strategies and regional economic transformation and upgrading, the high-quality development of innovation and entrepreneurship education in local applied universities (hereinafter referred to as "entrepreneurship and innovation education") has become a key hub linking the supply-side reform of higher education and the demand side of regional economic and social development. This article aims to go beyond the single utilitarian perspective of skills training or competition, and build a systematic and ecological theoretical framework for mass entrepreneurship and innovation education in local applied universities from the philosophical level of integrating instrumental rationality and value rationality. This framework takes "cultivating people with moral integrity and serving the region" as the core value, "multi-dimensional integration and capability advancement" as the practical path, and the collaborative symbiosis of "government, industry, academia, research and innovation" as the ecosystem support. On this basis, this article deeply analyzes the coupling interaction mechanism between the mass entrepreneurship and innovation education system and the regional economic system, and explains how the two achieve collaborative evolution and value co-creation through interdependence and mutual shaping from three dimensions: factor flow (talent, knowledge, capital), talent training collaboration, and resource integration and symbiosis. This study comprehensively uses literature analysis, theoretical deduction and system analysis methods to provide a systematic theoretical reference for deepening the reform of mass entrepreneurship education and solving the "two skins" dilemma between it and the regional economy, and to contribute academic thinking to promote the deep integration of the education chain, talent chain, industry chain and innovation chain.

In today's knowledge economy, competitive advantage is achieved through proper and efficient knowledge management (KM). KM is critical for organisational wellbeing. Research has shown that Africa has not explored knowledge management practices much. As a continent, Africa is being transformed economically, yet its knowledge economy is to be explored and developed. However, on a Development Community's members, Mauritius is now a rather positive note, being one of the South African developing country and aiming to be a cyber-island. Therefore, in line with the contry's economic development, this paper aims at investigating knowledge management practices in IT project-based companies in Mauritius. It presents the findings of small-scale research conducted in ten IT project-based companies in Mauritius. The findings revealed that the adoption of KM among the IT firms in Mauritius is still at an immaturity stage. Based on the analysis of the results, recommendations are made to suggest a way forward for the companies in Mauritius.

Significant developments in the global economy and information technology have been accompanied by a transformation in the nature and process of knowledge production and dissemination. Concepts such as the knowledge economy or creative economy have been formulated to accommodate the new and complex developments in knowledge, creativity, economy, and technology. While much of the current literature on the knowledge and creative economy substantially reflects the economic impact of knowledge and creativity, previous studies have rarely touched upon the role of translation in this development. By discussing the role of translation as a generative process in the creative economy and its implications for crossing boundaries in education, this paper argues that translation plays a significant role in the creation of a hybrid milieu. This dynamic cultural hybridity is stimulated by the circulation of knowledge and information via translation, but is also, per se, a driver inviting greater engagement of ideas and knowledge given that translated works always require retrospective interpretations along with changing social and cultural mores.

With the rapid progress of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) technology is flourishing globally, especially in China, where its innovative applications have taken the lead in the world. AI,as a leader in the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, we are reshaping our economic landscape and social life. The deep integration and application of AI provide strong impetus for regional economic collaborative innovation. In the era of smart economy, the perfect combination of big data, Internet information technology and AI has injected unprecedented vitality into regional economic development. These advanced technologies not only optimize the traditional industrial structure, but also give birth to many new formats and models, resulting in a diversified and high-quality development trend in the economy of various regions in China. This article delves into the inherent connection between AI technology innovation and coordinated regional economic development. The widespread application of AI not only improves production efficiency, but also plays a positive role in promoting employment and improving people's livelihoods. At the same time, driven by AI, regional economies are gradually shifting from traditional resource dependence to technological innovation, which will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of the Chinese economy.

Human capital has always been an extremely important determinant of individual and social progress. In the present scenario, it is centripetal instrumental for developing economies in an increasingly competitive, services led, knowledge driven global economy. The degree of responsiveness of the skilled human resources on the overall development and specifically the economic growth has been well established. Notwithstanding, the known linkages between economic growth and human capital, it is pertinent to understand the significance of the skilled talent-pool in the knowledge economy and hence in the economic development. This paper highlights the emerging trends in the global economy with increasing reliance on the knowledge driven sectors for growth. It focuses on the emerging issues and challenges in the face of ageing population in developed countries, availability of skilled workforce and the increasing trend of relocating services jobs through off shoring and their likely impact. The study analyses the implications of changing global demographic trends and strength of Indian talent-pool for competitiveness in off shoring and outsourcing work. It argues that changing demographic profile of high income nations and off shoring provides India with an opportunity to increase its pace of economic development. It examines the higher education infrastructure in India and the quality and depth of skilled human resources coming out of this system to capitalize on this opportunity. It deliberates whether India can leverage its talent-pool capital and demographics to build/sustain the competitive advantage or not.

Wei, B.; Guo, X., and Wang, Z., 2020. PPP mode and regional economic development – empirical evidence from coastal areas of China. In: Li, L. and Huang, X. (eds.), Sustainable Development in Coastal Regions: A Perspective of Environment, Economy, and Technology. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 112, pp. 262-268. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208.Based on China's provincial data from 2000 to 2017, this paper investigates the role of infrastructure investment under PPP mode in promoting coastal and inland economic development. The study finds that the PPP mode can significantly promote China's economic growth by breaking down administrative monopolies, improving resource mismatches and increasing total factor productivity. What's more, we find that the impact of the PPP mode on regional economic growth has a significant inverted U-shaped characteristic by using threshold model. Compared with inland regions, PPP mode can no longer significantly promote economic growth of coastal areas. The discrepancy is due to differences in regional infrastructure capital stock, local leading industries, and the degree of regional marketization. This research offers theoretical reference to the local governments which plan to introduce PPP mode, and also provides enlightenment on how to develop the economy under the "New Normal".
