Intersectoral linkages can act as shock propagation channels and shape the pattern of structural transformation. To our knowledge, no research has examined how subnational differences in intersectoral linkages impact such spillover effects. We hypothesize that regional differences in local...

In this paper we present results of a land-use forecasting model that we calibrated with vast geo-referenced data of a major metropolitan area. Each land parcel includes information concerning regulations indicating permitted land-uses as well as the certain characteristics of existing...

Most of the area (about 99.25%) and population (about 94.07%) of the Jhargram district belongs to rural settlements. Therefore the development of this district needs to know about rural settlements, especially the spacing of settlements. The main focus of this study is to determine the spacing...

In a rare example of a national goal for income distribution besides reducing poverty (for which there is broad consensus), China’s leadership has recently committed to expanding the middle-income share—striving for a less polarized “olive-shaped” distribution. Recognizing the potential...

The spatiotemporal evolution of provincial carbon emission correlation and its driving mechanism is of great importance for collaborative emission reduction. Based on the panel data at the provincial level in China from 2000 to 2018, this paper establishes a global carbon emission association...
