The relationship between air pollution,fossil fuel energy consumption,and water resources in the panel of selected Asia-Pacific countries

The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between air pollution, fossil fuel energy consumption, water resources, and natural resource rents in the panel of selected Asia-Pacific countries, over a period of 1975–2012. The study includes number of variables in the model for robust analysis. The results of cross-sectional analysis show that there is a significant relationship between air pollution, energy consumption, and water productivity in the individual countries of Asia-Pacific. However, the results of each country vary according to the time invariant shocks. For this purpose, the study employed the panel least square technique which includes the panel least square regression, panel fixed effect regression, and panel two-stage least square regression. In general, all the panel tests indicate that there is a significant and positive relationship between air pollution, energy consumption, and water resources in the region. The fossil fuel energy consumption has a major dominating impact on the changes in the air pollution in the region.

天津市能源消费与经济增长的灰色关联分析

能源是实现经济增长的重要生产因素,能源发展对经济发展起着决定性作用。目前,天津市经济正处在快速增长时期,经济增长对能源的消耗依赖性很强,可能会导致能源紧张和供不应求。能源的短缺又会影响经济的健康发展,正确分析和处理好能源与经济的关系,对天津市的经济可持续发展很重要。基于灰色关联分析,研究能源消费与经济增长的关系,侧重从能源消费总量、单位GDP能耗、能源消费结构(用煤炭消费量表示)、原油消费量和天然气消费量方面探讨能源消费与经济增长(用GDP表示)的关联度。结果表明,5者与经济增长存在显著的正相关关系,煤炭消费量和能源消费总量与经济增长的关联度均大于单位GDP能耗与经济增长的关联度,天津市的经济增长对煤炭的依赖短期内难以改变。

Assessing energy, environmental, and economic tradeoffs in intermodal freight transportation

This paper presents an energy and environmental network analysis model to explore tradeoffs associated with freight transport. The geospatial model uses an intermodal network built by the authors to connect various modes (rail, road, water) via intermodal terminals. Routes along the network are characterized not only by temporal and distance attributes, but also by cost, energy, and emissions attributes (including emissions of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds, and oxides of nitrogen). Decision-makers can use the model to explore tradeoffs among alternative route selection across different modal combinations, and to identify optimal routes for objectives that feature energy and environmental parameters (e.g., minimize carbon dioxide emissions). The model is demonstrated with three case studies of freight transport along the U.S. eastern seaboard.
