Ecological protection and economic development are dialectical and unified relations, and the intensity of natural resources development limits the sustainable development of urban agglomeration economy. To clarify the relationship between natural resource development intensity and economy of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan secondary urban agglomeration, the spatial and temporal characteristics and decoupling state of ecological footprint of Changsha-ZhuzhouXiangtan secondary urban agglomeration from 2009 to 2018 were quantitatively and qualitatively studied by using three-dimensional ecological footprint model, Tapio elastic decoupling model and ArcGIS spatial analysis method. The results show that from 2009 to 2018, the ecological footprint per capita in the study area was experienced an overall "up-down" trend; the ecological footprint per capita was far more than the ecological footprint breadth; the urban footprint depth, breadth and space differences were significant; consuming natural capital stock to promote economic development was the main development model; cultivated land and fossil energy land was the main footprint source. Loudi city was the highest per capita ecological footprint of the city; the relationship between the per capita ecological footprint and economic decoupling was mainly strong decoupling and weak decoupling. The decoupling state between cities was different; urban agglomeration was in the state of slow growth of environmental pressure. The results can provide a useful reference for macro-control of "ecological footprint-economic development" in the secondary urban agglomeration of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article put labor, capital, and energy factors into the consideration of biased technological progress, and used the directional distance function and Malmquist-Luenberger index to measure, identify, and compare the direction of biased technological progress in Chinese industries from 2003 to 2019. The study used the FGLS model to investigate the factors affecting industrial biased technological progress under the cases of no environmental constraints, weak environmental constraints, and strong environmental constraints, respectively. The results showed that: ‡@ Ignoring environmental constraints overestimated the total factor productivity index and the technological progress index. The total factor productivity index and technological progress index were significantly lower in the weak and strong constraint cases compared to the no constraint case. ‡A When there was no environmental constraint, the direction of industrial technological progress was mainly characterized by labor saving/capital use, labor saving/energy use, and capital use/energy saving; after adding the environmental constraint, the direction of technological progress was mainly characterized by labor use/capital saving, labor saving/energy use, and capital saving/energy use. ‡B The direction of Chinaf s industrial technological progress under environmental constraints was mainly influenced by environmental regulations, foreign direct investment, R&D intensity, openness to foreign trade, per capita capital stock, and energy production efficiency. The effect of environmental regulation on biased technological progress with no and weak environmental constraints showed an inverted eUf shape and had a positive effect on biased technological progress with strong environmental constraints. The labor-based FDI significantly hindered the biased technological progress with no and strong environmental constraints, while the capital-based FDI only had a significant negative impact on the biased technological progress with weak environmental constraints. The increase in R&D intensity was conducive to biased technological progress, while trade openness and capital deepening hindered biased technological progress. Energy production efficiency inhibited biased technological progress without environmental constraints but promoted biased technological progress with weak and strong environmental constraints. To encourage industrial green technological progress, the government should increase the level of subsidies for green technological innovation, improve and enrich environmental constraint tools, and implement phased environmental regulation policies.

Three Rights Separation is a major institution innovation of China's rural land property rights system, targeted to promote the optimal allocation of resources through the refinement and clarification of property rights of agricultural land, encouraging property rights transfer and optimization, finally enhancing agriculture development and transition. However, it remains untested whether the separation of three rights can improve farmers' long- term expectations of the safety and security of property rights, and subsequently change their behaviors. Based on the mechanism of "policy reform-policy cognition-behavior change" and a case study of Qingpu district, where the practice of land property rights transfers was started early, the policy cognition and behavior changes of the new agricultural entities was studied. Questionnaire investigation and semi-structured interviews were carried out for data collection and structural equation model was applied to study the influence of policy cognition on their behavior changes to enlarging scales, enhancing long- term investment and shifting to environmentally friendly agriculture. It is found out that the policy cognition is of positive impacts on their behavior changes and subsequently contributes to the transformation of agriculture; the better cognition also leads to greater behavior changes. Thus more attention should be paid to enhancing the supporting system of the Three Rights Separation Reform, strengthening policy transparency and interpretation to farmers, improving the human capital stock of agriculture, in order to provide strong endogenous power for the transformation and upgrading of agriculture.

This paper summarized and analyzed the four prevalent models of post-disaster financial assistance: the multiple corporation assistant model, the"self-reconstruction" assistance model, the two-stage assistance model and the partner assistance model. Then, based on the Solow model, we preliminarily analyzed the theoretical framework for evaluating the macro-economic performance of the post-disaster finance assistant. We made conclusions that in the long run, the disaster has no influence on the economic growth and the post-disaster financial assistant will improve the current consumption and increase the capital stock. But if the succors do not leave the disaster area, the per capita capital stock will not change. Furthermore, it cannot be determined whether the per capital investment increases or decreases, but it is sure that the total investment increases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

China's foreign direct investment (FDI) policy is an important part of the economic system; and to study the relationship between FDI policy and economic growth is not only the need of the FDI theory and economic growth research, but also the actual requirements of perfecting the FDI policy and ensuring the sustainable development of economy. On the one hand, China's FDI policy can influence the economic growth through such transmission mechanisms as capital accumulation, human capital development, technological progress and institutional change; it can also increase the domestic capital stock, improve human capital stock, promote technical advancement, increase production inputs, further economic scale expansion, raise the total factor productivity, promote the industrial structure adjustment, and improve the quality of economic growth. On the other hand, FDI policy ran aggravate environmental pollution degree, widen the gap between the regional economic development that will-restrict the sustainable development, threaten the national economic security through form dependence on FDI, influence the industry safety, and restrict the domestic enterprise development. We should hence improve the FDI environment, promote the enter threshold of the FDI-, enhance the guide function of FDI polity, to perfect the system of FDI management and other measures to promote the economic growth.

When China is entering an aging society, we are now confronted with a new problem of developing the aged human resources: how to enlarge the human capital stock to offset the challenges brought by the aging population. In this paper, in order to explore the structural motivation for developing aged human resources, we firstly examined how it relates to the structural transformation and upgrade of industries, labor structure and the change of population structure from the perspectives of industrial structure, population structure, and the stock of the aged population. Secondly, we analyzed the structural difficulties in developing the aged human resources from the perspectives of culture, economy, and policy, trying to set as the target the transformation of the aged human resource development from a quantity-orientedness to a quality-orientedness. Then we propose to explore a new approach to developing the aged human resources through constructing a system characterized by "a smart aged population" and eliminating the discrimination against old people brought about by a linear understanding of age.
