China’s reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) has achieved notably through 30 years of reforms while the performance of SOEs is still low. Basing on a summing-up of reforms of SOEs the paper gives an evaluation of economic theories affecting China’s reform of SOEs. Focuses in different...

Significant advancements have been made in cyber aggression literature, with many studies revealing the consequences associated with adolescents’ involvement in these behaviors. Few studies have focused on cyber aggression involvement in China, India, and Japan. The present study examined...

This paper reports the findings of a comparative analysis of bus rapid transit (BRT) performance using information on cross-section data of 121 BRT systems throughout the world, in which random effects regression is employed as the modelling framework for stand alone patronage and ridership...

Demand for electricity in China kept accelerating in recent years; moreover, there exist serious mismatches among the distribution of power demand, energy resources, and power generation infrastructure across different regions in China, both of which indicate a necessity of a holistic and...

We consider a partially linear time trend model with weakly dependent data. We show that the semiparametric estimator for the time trend coefficient has the same rate of convergence as in the parametric time trend model case. We also show that the asymptotic variance reaches the semiparametric...

While most of previous studies on China's energy conservation took the huge country as a whole, this manuscript revealed the obvious regional disparities in energy consumption of China's 30 provinces. Based on a hybrid energy input–output model, the total energy consumption of different...

A large number of heat flows at various temperature and pressure levels exist in a polygeneration plant which co-produces electricity and chemical products. Integration of these external heat flows in a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) has great potential to further enhance energy efficiency...

A new concept of ‘low-carbon towns’ (LCTs) has emerged in the urban planning and development of China in recent years to face the challenge of global climate change. This manuscript presents the current status, basic concepts, and town practices for the development of LCTs in China. First,...

Coal based polygeneration, a technology that couples power generation and chemical production, is a promising solution to the challenges of fossil fuel depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon monoxide shift process is a key unit in polygeneration, which adjusts hydrogen and CO ratio...

Historically, many resource conservation campaigns failed because they paid inadequate attention to the interests of stakeholders. As a consequence, stakeholder analysis has gained increasing attention in order to avoid potential policy failures in the related fields. However, the stakeholder...
