  • The Discussion of Motive Forces and Measures to Sustainable Rural Economics of Western Plain of Shandong Province——A Typical Case Study of Dongchangfu County
    Progress in geography, 2000
    Co-Authors: Wang Yun
    Abstract:

    Dongchangfu County is a county with the characteristics of Liaocheng and agriculture area of north china and Huanghuaihai region. It has large population and less developed economic, particularly Rural economic is backward. With the development of 50 years in the past it had formed four characteristics of PRED system. Firstly, gross population is large scale and increasing rapidly, but less educated. Secondly, natural resources such as mineral, water and energy are scare, land resources are main natural resources but are poor and less productive. Thirdly, natural disasters such as drought, flood, saltization and alkalization had been better prevented from, but some of them still did great damages to people; fourthly, with the rapid growth of economic, capital and technology inputs are less sufficient, it consumes large resources with large waste.\;The study on motive forces of sustainable Rural Economics is the research of main promoting forces and the restricted factors which hamper the Economics growth during the year of 1980 to 1996, when the development of it was the fastest in the past, the aim of it is to foster the growth pole of sustainable Rural economic and take the measures to it correspondingly.

  • THE MODELS AND COUNTERMEASURES TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF Rural ECONOMIC OF NORTH-WEST PLAIN OF SHANDONG PROVINCE --A TYPICAL CASE STUDY ON DONGCHANGFU COUNTY
    Economic Geography, 2001
    Co-Authors: Guo Huan-cheng
    Abstract:

    Based on the systematic study on motive forces and mechanics of sustainable agriculture and Rural economic of typical region, in accordance with the main conflicts, restricted factors and developing expectation, in this paper the models of sustainable Rural Economics is the overall models which combine the Rural urbanizing , Rural industrializing and Rural manufacturing togather with the characteristic of marketing model of Rural Economics. Based on synthetical analyses of models which include the high efficient eco-agriculture, agriculture industrializing and forage corps separately from grain corps, summaried the models of typical township which include the model of regional specialty, the model of "vegetables+architecture+industry" at modern suburb,model of "vegetables+vegetables manufacturing+new look of countryside", model of "grain and vegetables in turn+cattle breed" at the north region of drought, flood and salina.

  • THE CHARACTER OF SPATIAL-TEMPORAL EVOLVEMENT OF Rural ECONOMY LEVEL OF CHINA IN RECENT 30 YEARS
    Economic Geography, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ma Li-bang
    Abstract:

    Select two index of ‘Per Net Income of Rural Inhabitant'and’Per Consumption Expenditure of Rural Households’,this paper analyzed the evolvement process of Rural Economics of China in recent 30 years by calculated variation coefficient,weighted variation coefficient,Theil index,maximum and minimum index. The result indicated that the differences of Rural economic development of China had undergone a fluctuant and ascend process,the four stages of evolvement just like a anomalistic "W".This paper also analyzed the spatial evolvement process of Rural Economics of China by calculate the location entropy of each province during 1978— 2005. Result indicated that the difference of Rural economic development can be reflected mainly in the contrasts of the eastern costal region and the mid-western region after the spatial evolution processes from the regions of northeastern region,Jing-Jin area and the eastern part of the Yangtze Delta to the southeastern costal areas.Beside natural conditions, geographic location and initial economic endowments,national policy,industry collect and benefits maximize are also the key factors of the province differences of Rural economic development .

    Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 2009
    Co-Authors: Rachel A. Bouvier
    Abstract:

    Jun-Jie Wu, Paul Barkley, and Bruce A. Weber (eds.). 2008. Frontiers in Resource and Rural Economics: Human-Nature, Rural-Urban Interdependencies. Washington, D.C.: Resources for the Future, 266 pp., $85.00 (cloth), $41.95 (paperback). The anthology Frontiers in Resource and Rural Economics grew out of a symposium in honor of Emery N. Castle, Professor Emeritus at Oregon State University and Senior Fellow Emeritus at Resources for the Future. Professor Castle is the editor of, among other works, The Changing American Countryside-one of the classics in the Rural Economics literature-and Economics and Public Water Policy in the West (co-edited with Stephen Smith). Additional contributors to Frontiers in Resource and Rural Economics include environmental and resource economist V. Kerry Smith, economic geographer Maureen Kilkenny, and development sociologist David L. Brown, to name a few. The book is highly recommended for the practitioner in either resource Economics or Rural Economics. Although not every chapter will likely be of interest to all readers, there is enough variation to satisfy both the specialist and the generalist, the theorist and the practitioner. Castle's research encompasses natural resource, environmental, and community Economics, and thus it is appropriate that both this anthology and the symposium it followed focus on the overlap among these three fields of study. The editors tout the volume as exploring the "interdependencies between natural resource management and Rural development as well as between Rural and urban communities," and as such the book is divided into four parts: "The Past 50 Years," "Human-Nature and Rural-Urban Interdependence," "Policies and Programs for People and Places," and "The Next 25 Years." A difficulty in reviewing any anthology is to avoid the temptation to review each work in isolation, and instead to focus on the editors' difficult work in integrating each separate piece into a coherent whole. The editors of Frontiers have an additional challenge-that of integrating threads of two overlapping yet distinct disciplines in Rural Economics/Rural studies, and natural resource Economics. The editors succeed admirably in including works that explore the interdependencies of Rural and urban areas and of natural resources and economic development, with Emery Castle and David Ervin providing a helpful synthesis at the beginning of the book. Each piece is interesting and thought-provoking in its own right, yet it is not recommended that the reader attempt to read the collection straight through from start to finish, as the chapters do not always follow each other seamlessly. This, of course, is a criticism that can be made of many other anthologies-it is not unique to this work. The first section of the book, entitled "The Past 50 Years," serves as an example of the challenges inherent in assimilating elements from these two sub-disciplines. It comprises two essays, one considering resource and environmental economic literature from 1950-2000, the second considering the literature and movement of Rural Economics from the early nineteenth century to the present. While different in scope and tone, both chapters end on a very similar note. Daniel Bromley, in "The Emergence and Evolution of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics," accuses environmental and resource economists of becoming too "hidebound"-that is, that resource economists have become too wrapped up in their models and methods to continue to be relevant to the public. He questions whether they can bring new insights to the field, or anticipate economynature conflicts before they arise, given these economists' dependence on axioms. In short, he suggests that the field is becoming stagnant. Paul Barkley, in "Rural Economics: People, Land, and Capital," also strikes a cautionary tone. He warns that "Economists must be very careful in applying the interests and skills of their discipline to the problems of Rural areas and Rural communities? …
