Analysis on transfer pricing of sea area use rights based on market equilibrium theory
Marketization of sea area use rights is crucial for optimizing marine resource allocation and fostering a thriving marine economy. This analysis establishes a supply-demand model grounded in market equilibrium theory, revealing key factors influencing stakeholder decisions and the impact of market forces on transaction volume and price. Our research demonstrates that competitive markets yield greater efficiency than monopolies. Notably, exogenous factors consistently shape equilibrium trading dynamics across market structures.
Analysis of natural resource total factor productivity in China’s eastern coastal region based on integrating static SBM-DEA with multi-frontier decomposition
Analysis of natural resource total factor productivity (NTFP) in China’s eastern coastal region reveals a persistent advantage, approximately 2.3 to 2.8 times greater than inland areas, driven by marine industrial concentration and innovation. Integrating static SBM-DEA with multi-frontier decomposition, this research identifies regional technology disparities, provincial heterogeneity, and intra-provincial inefficiencies as key drivers. Leading coastal provinces, like the Yangtze and Pearl River Deltas, define the national efficiency frontier, while others lag due to internal inefficiencies.
A system dynamics simulation of marine economic development — evidence from Zhejiang province in China
Coastal economies face a critical transition from expansion to sustainable, high-quality development, demanding a nuanced understanding of marine economic dynamics. This study presents a system dynamics simulation of marine economic development in Zhejiang province, China, revealing complex feedback loops between industrial upgrading, innovation, port capacity, openness, and ecological protection. The model highlights a short-term masking effect of innovation and demonstrates how port capacity influences both industrial growth and environmental investment.
The digital economy and marine new-quality productivity: unraveling the N-shaped relationship
The burgeoning digital economy's influence on marine productivity in China presents a complex, and previously understudied, relationship. This study, utilizing panel data from 2011-2021, rigorously investigates the connection between the digital economy and marine new-quality productivity (MNQP) across 11 coastal provinces. Findings reveal a significant N-shaped nonlinear relationship, demonstrating that the digital economy's impact on MNQP varies across development stages.
Capability heterogeneity and dual technological paths: a micro-level empirical analysis of TFP improvement in Chinese marine enterprises
Recent research highlights a critical pathway for enhancing total factor productivity (TFP) within Chinese marine enterprises. An empirical analysis, utilizing extensive tax survey data, reveals that both independent research and development (R&D) and external equipment procurement significantly improve TFP, demonstrating a synergistic effect. However, these benefits are subject to resource-based constraints, exhibiting non-linear returns. The findings suggest a differentiated strategy: high-tech enterprises benefit from a dual R&D and procurement approach, while others prioritize external equipment acquisition.
Research on the mechanism of low-altitude economy’s impact on marine economy quality and development countermeasures―threshold effect based on green finance
Recent research rigorously examines the complex interplay between the burgeoning low-altitude economy and the quality of China’s marine economy, spanning 2011-2023. Utilizing advanced econometric models, the study establishes a significant positive correlation, while also identifying crucial threshold effects mediated by technological innovation and green finance. Findings reveal that while the low-altitude economy demonstrably drives marine economic quality, its impact is moderated by these factors.
