The external water footprint of the Netherlands: Quantification and impact assessment
2017Co-Authors: Mesfin Mekonnen, Arjen Ysbert HoekstraAbstract:This study quantifies the external water footprint of the Netherlands by partner country and Import Product and assesses the impact of this footprint by contrasting the geographically explicit water footprint with water scarcity in the different parts of the world. Hotspots are identified as the places where the external water footprint of Dutch consumers is significant on the one hand and where water scarcity is serious on the other hand. The study shows that Dutch consumption implies the use of water resources throughout the world, with significant impacts at specified locations. This knowledge is relevant for consumers, government and businesses when addressing the sustainability of consumer behaviour and supply chains. The results of this study can be an input to bilateral cooperation between the Netherlands and the Dutch trade partners aimed at the reduction of the negative impacts of Dutch consumption on foreign water resources. Dutch government can also engage with businesses in order to stimulate them to review the sustainability of their supply chains.

the external water footprint of the netherlands geographically explicit quantification and impact assessment
Ecological Economics, 2009Co-Authors: Mesfin Mekonnen, Arjen Ysbert HoekstraAbstract:This study quantifies the external water footprint of the Netherlands by partner country and Import Product and assesses the impact of this footprint by contrasting the geographically-explicit water footprint with water scarcity in the different parts of the world. The total water footprint of the Netherlands is estimated to be about 2300 m3/year/cap, of which 67% relates to the consumption of agricultural goods, 31% to the consumption of industrial goods, and 2% to domestic water use. The Dutch water footprint related to the consumption of agricultural goods, is composed as follows: 46% related to livestock Products; 17% oil crops and oil from oil crops; 12% coffee, tea, cocoa and tobacco; 8% cereals and beer; 6% cotton Products; 5% fruits; and 6% other agricultural Products. About 11% of the water footprint of the Netherlands is internal and 89% is external. Only 44% of virtual-water Import relates to Products consumed in the Netherlands, thus constituting the external water footprint. For agricultural Products this is 40% and for industrial Products this is 60%. The remaining 56% of the virtual-water Import to the Netherlands is re-exported. The impact of the external water footprint of Dutch consumers is highest in countries that experience serious water scarcity. Based on indicators for water scarcity the following eight countries have been identified as most seriously affected: China; India; Spain; Turkey; Pakistan; Sudan; South Africa; and Mexico. This study shows that Dutch consumption implies the use of water resources throughout the world, with significant impacts in water-scarce regions.

mashlahah analysis on damaging horticultural Product Import on rule of the trade minister article 30 number 16 m dag 2013 concerning provisions of horticultural Product Import
2015Co-Authors: Sonia Soimatus SaadahAbstract:Seeing the phenomena of damaging horticulture Product Import, the people question the government’s rule. Is it useless deem? Or is it in line with benefit? The reason of those phenomena is the Rule of the Trade Minister Article 30 Number 16/M-Dag/2013 Concerning Provisions Of Horticultural Product Import. The fresh Product will be damaged if it againts the condition of label and package, and Import approval. Meanwhile proccessed Product will be re-exported if it againts the same rule. Therefore the author is encouraged to analiyse this rule—damaging horticulture Product Import—by the ‘soul’ of Islamic law, mashlahah. For that reason, the purpose of this research is to know Import conditions based on Rule of the Trade Minister Number 16/M-Dag/2013 Concerning Provisions Of Horticultural Product Import and deem this rule by mashlahah analysis. The type of this research is qualitative and its method of collecting the data is library research. The writer concludes that this rule is in line with mashlaha. because horticulture is classified as regulated Import Product which harms and threats safety, healthy, plant natural resources, and moral (Keamanan, Kesehatan, Keselamatan, Lingkungan hidup dan moral bangsa/K3L). Therefore the Products which contravense this rule is unqualified Product. Based on the theory of saddu al-dzari’ah and chosing the paramount benefit (mashlahah), public benefit (mashlahah ‘ammah) and long term benefit (mashlahah muabbadah).

Aid for Trade, Export Product Diversification and Import Product Diversification
Research Papers in Economics, 2020Co-Authors: Sèna Kimm GnangnonAbstract:The literature on the effect of Aid for Trade (AfT) has shown that AfT flows can be associated with greater export Product diversification in recipient-countries. However, the Import Product diversification effect of AfT interventions has received scant attention in this literature. The present article aims to fill this gap in the literature by investigating the effect of AfT flows on Import Product diversification, including when countries diversify their export Product baskets. The empirical analysis has shown that AfT flows are associated with greater Import Product diversification in countries that diversify their export Product baskets. This finding applies both to total AfT flows and to its three major components, namely AfT flows for economic infrastructure, AfT flows for Productive capacity, and AfT flows for trade policy and regulation. Additionally, the magnitude of the positive effect of total AfT flows on Import Product diversification increases as recipient-countries enjoy a convergence of their export Product structure towards the world's export Product structure. On another note, the empirical analysis has revealed that AfT flows induce greater Import Product diversification in countries that further liberalize their trade policies. These results have Important policy implications for both donors and recipient-countries.

the effect of Import Product diversification on carbon emissions new evidence for sustainable economic policies
Economic Analysis and Policy, 2020Co-Authors: Muhlis Can, Sudharshan Reddy Paramati, Buhari Dogan, Jianchun FangAbstract:Abstract This study examines the effect of Import Product diversification and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions across a panel of 35 developed and 93 developing economies. The empirical models utilize an environmental theoretical framework and yearly data for 1995–2014. The study makes use of common correlated effects—specifically mean group (CCE-MG) and augmented mean group (AMG) estimators. The overall results suggest that Import Product diversification has a substantial negative and positive impact on the carbon emissions of developed and developing economies, respectively. This study also finds that increasing renewable energy consumption helps to meet climate change targets by reducing carbon emissions. Thus, Import Product diversification and renewable energy could play an indispensable role in reducing carbon emissions in developed economies; while renewable energy is the only factor that assists developing economies meet their emission reduction targets at this stage.
