Digital Economy as a Factor in the Technological Development of the Mineral Sector
Natural Resources Research, 2019Co-Authors: V. S. LitvinenkoAbstract:This article describes the impact of the global digital economy on the Technological Development of the mineral sector in the world. Due to the different specifics of the legislative bases of the investigated regions, such as the USA, China, EU, and Africa, the Development of digital transformation is presented on the example of the Russian Federation in the context of world trends. The article presents an analysis of the possibilities of using straight-through digital technology in prospecting, design, Development, and use of mineral resources. It describes a structure promoting the Development of applied digital technology through research–education centers and international competence centers. This structure would allow forming the new competencies for personnel working in the digital economy. The underfunding of the information and computing infrastructure could be a significant challenge to the digital transformation of the economy. Creating the conditions for a reliable and secure process of generating, storing, and using data is the basis for protection from the cybersecurity hazard that could act as a brake on technology advancement. This article discusses the organizational and Technological priorities of the Development of the mineral resource sector on the example of the Russian Federation. The challenges for the mineral resource complex resulting from global changes can be taken on through Technological changes of the industry. The article gives a thorough description of issues related to Technological Developments in the raw materials sector, oil refining industry, Development of integrated and advanced mineral processing systems, and the use of household and industrial wastes. The research presents basic technology contributing to sustainable Development, starting from exploration and production forecasting and up to sustainable planning and distribution of material and energy resources based on real-time data. It also pays special attention to the possibilities of creating digital platforms for the mineral sector. Digital integration, combining research areas, personnel, processes, users, and data will create conditions for scientific and Technological achievements and breakthroughs, providing scientific and economic Developments in related industries and, above all, in the global mineral and raw materials market.

Carbon prices and incentives for Technological Development
Journal of environmental management, 2015Co-Authors: Tommy Lundgren, Per-olov Marklund, Eva Samakovlis, Wenchao ZhouAbstract:There is concern that the carbon prices generated through climate policies are too low to create the incentives necessary to stimulate Technological Development. This paper empirically analyzes how the Swedish carbon dioxide (CO2) tax and the European Union emission trading system (EU ETS) have affected productivity Development in the Swedish pulp and paper industry 1998-2008. A Luenberger total factor productivity (TFP) indicator is computed using data envelopment analysis. The results show that climate policy had a modest impact on Technological Development in the pulp and paper industry, and if significant it was negative. The price of fossil fuels, on the contrary, seems to have created important incentives for Technological Development. Hence, the results suggest that the carbon prices faced by the industry through EU ETS and the CO2 tax have been too low. Even though the data for this study is specific for Sweden, the models and results are applicable internationally. When designing policy to mitigate CO2 emissions, it is vital that the policy creates a carbon price that is high enough - otherwise the pressure on Technological Development will not be sufficiently strong.

Carbon Prices and Incentives for Technological Development
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013Co-Authors: Tommy Lundgren, Per-olov Marklund, Eva Samakovlis, Wenchao ZhouAbstract:How to significantly decrease carbon dioxide emissions has become one of the largest challenges faced by modern society. The standard recipe prescribed by most economists is to put a price on carbon, either through a tax or through emissions trading. Such measures can reduce emissions cost-effectively and create incentives for Technological Development. There is, however, a growing concern that the carbon prices generated through the European Union emission trading system (EU ETS) have been too low to create the incentives necessary to stimulate Technological Development. This paper empirically analyzes how the Swedish carbon dioxide tax and the EU ETS have affected productivity Development in the Swedish pulp and paper industry 1998-2008. A Luenberger total factor productivity (TFP) indicator is computed using data envelopment analysis. How the policy measures affect TFP is assessed using a system generalized method of moments estimator. The results show that climate policy had a modest impact on Technological Development in the pulp and paper industry, and if significant it has been negative. The price on fossil fuels, on the contrary, seems to have created important incentives for Technological Development. Hence, results suggest that the carbon prices faced by the industry through EU ETS and the carbon dioxide tax have been too low.

emergy based assessment on industrial symbiosis a case of shenyang economic and Technological Development zone
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2014Co-Authors: Yong Geng, Zuoxi Liu, Bing Xue, Huijuan Dong, Tsuyoshi Fujita, Anthony S F ChiuAbstract:Industrial symbiosis is the sharing of services, utility, and by-product resources among industries. This is usually made in order to add value, reduce costs, and improve the environment, and therefore has been taken as an effective approach for developing an eco-industrial park, improving resource efficiency, and reducing pollutant emission. Most conventional evaluation approaches ignored the contribution of natural ecosystem to the Development of industrial symbiosis and cannot reveal the interrelations between economic Development and environmental protection, leading to a need of an innovative evaluation method. Under such a circumstance, we present an emergy analysis-based evaluation method by employing a case study at Shenyang Economic and Technological Development Zone (SETDZ). Specific emergy indicators on industrial symbiosis, including emergy savings and emdollar value of total emergy savings, were developed so that the holistic picture of industrial symbiosis can be presented. Research results show that nonrenewable inputs, imported resource inputs, and associated services could be saved by 89.3, 32.51, and 15.7 %, and the ratio of emergy savings to emergy of the total energy used would be about 25.58 %, and the ratio of the emdollar value of total emergy savings to the total gross regional product (GRP) of SETDZ would be 34.38 % through the implementation of industrial symbiosis. In general, research results indicate that industrial symbiosis could effectively reduce material and energy consumption and improve the overall eco-efficiency. Such a method can provide policy insights to industrial park managers so that they can raise appropriate strategies on developing eco-industrial parks. Useful strategies include identifying more potential industrial symbiosis opportunities, optimizing energy structure, increasing industrial efficiency, recovering local ecosystems, and improving public and industrial awareness of eco-industrial park policies.

Technological Development and the Boundaries of the Firm: A Knowledge-Based Examination in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Management Science, 2006Co-Authors: Jeffrey T. MacherAbstract:This paper examines how the knowledge-based view (KBV) can be applied to firm boundary decisions and the performance implications of those decisions. At the center of the paper is a theoretical and empirical examination of how firms most efficiently organize to solve different types of problems related to Technological Development, using the semiconductor industry as the empirical setting. Measures that capture important dimensions of performance support the proposition that organization affects performance in problem solving related to knowledge Development. Integrated firms realize performance advantages when problem solving in Technological Development is ill structured and complex, while the same is true for specialized firms when problem solving in Technological Development is well structured and simple. Performance differences also arise from the presence of scale economies and scope economies.
