Dynamic Activity Analysis Model Based Win-Win Development Forecasting Under the Environmental Regulation in China
No full textPorter Hypothesis states that environmental regulation may lead to win-win opportunities, that is, improve the productivity and reduce the undesirable output simultaneously. Based on directional distance function, this paper proposes a novel dynamic activity analysis model to forecast the possibilities of win-win development in Chinese Industry between 2009 and 2049. The evidence reveals that the appropriate energy-saving and emission-abating regulation will result in both the improvement in net growth of potential output and the steadily increasing growth of total factor productivity. This favors Porter Hypothesis.Dynamic Activity Analysis Model, Energy-Saving and Emission-Abating, Environmental Regulation, Win-Win Development

Win-Win-Win: Influencing for gender-transformative businesses in South and South East Asia
No full textThe Gender Transformative and Responsible Business Investment in South-East Asia (GRAISEA) programme aims to improve livelihoods of women and men small-scale producers in South and South-East Asia. It is based on the recognition that financial viability and gender equitable and sustainable supply chains are not mutually exclusive, and that win-win-win propositions are possible: wins for communities, for women and men small-scale producers, and for larger businesses.
GRAISEA focuses on the palm oil, aquaculture and rice value chains and is implemented in Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan, and includes a strong regional component. Indeed, while Oxfam engages in multiple countries across the region, power analyses reflect the need to develop regional influencing interventions targeting: a) ASEAN, for promotion and implementation of regional policies and regulations on commodities and issues of regional significance; and b) private sector companies with a regional footprint, for increased understanding of CSR and responsible business models.
This document particularly focuses on how the programme has influenced others for gender-transformative business investments.</p
Will adoption occur if a practice is win-win for profit and the environment? An application to a rancher’s grazing practice choices
No full textRotational grazing has the potential to provide both economic and environmental benefits; however, the set of ranchers that adopts is much smaller than the set that regards rotational grazing as a win-win practice. To investigate this adoption gap and learn about adoption decisions and motivations, we survey 874 ranchers on the U.S. Great Plains. We find that a large proportion of surveyed ranchers who view rotational grazing as win-win for both profit and the environment do not adopt the practice. We also find that win-win non-adopters are a constrained group for most potential challenges to rotational grazing adoption, especially for high initial costs, water resource limitations, and ranch conditions. Some of these impediments could be relieved by capital to which, however, win-win non-adopters have limited access. Win-win nonadopters are more likely to adopt rotational grazing than others when a one-time subsidy is offered, suggesting that win-win non-adopters hold promise as a target group for subsidies to reduce the cost of adoption. Our analysis shows the importance of understanding the specifics of an adoption gap when making and implementing policies.JEL Codes: D91, Q16, Q18, Q57This is a manuscript of an article published as Che, Yuyuan, Hongli Feng, and David A.

Well, [campus] was very beautiful. The students were wonderful, they were interesting and funny and quirky. I think the reason they were interested in us was because we had a lot of experience with teenagers. We had led the trips around the country in a van, eight weeks with ten kids. So we kind of knew what they talked about and how egocentric they were. We knew what to expect and we liked them. We liked that age group, we still do, that’s my main interest, really, adolescents. That’s what I’ve focused on in my clinical work-- my developmental interest, my interest in adolescent development. So we were deans then and we had little kids so I remember going to a house meeting in Crosby where we were meeting with the students to go over the rules and Ba Win would give his, sort of, very hard-nosed speech about what you have to do. He probably talked about some of that, others may have; alumni still talk about some of the things he said. They didn’t have YouTube so nothing went viral. Good thing, we dodged that bullet. But Za, who was maybe three or four, was wandering around in the hallways and, while we were having the meeting, he set off the fire alarm. [Livy Hall] was a prince of a man. Gentlemanly, kindly. Extremely funny. He always had a joke, and he didn’t even repeat them. He always had a new joke, well into older age. [...] When computers were first invented for personal use was when we didn’t have them here, obviously. Nobody wanted them. Everyone thought it was a terrible thing and that word processing would be the death of the English language as we know it. The English department, particularly-- nobody wanted to have anything to do with them. The first person in the Simon’s Rock community to get a computer was Livy Hall. He would send these little notes and memos that he would type on his word processor and print out. He kind of shamed everybody into-- “If I’m almost 90 and I can do this, you can do this. He was in his 80s then. Gradually, computers came in, but he introduced it. Ian, his heart and soul is committed. Plus he knows Bard High School Early College. He worked at BHSEC, and he was instrumental in starting the Bard Academy, which is the Bard High School Early College model with a BA tacked on. So we’ve got something very special now and Ian is the perfect person to bring it all together. Plus, like Ba Win and like Leon and like Bernie, he’s young. He’s going to be around for a while. He’s not as young as Ba Win and Leon were when we first started, I think they were 32 or 33, but he’s maybe 37. But he’s young. He’s a kid. And he’s energetic and he’s smart and he’s hardworking. And he gets it. And he’s inspirational when he talks about it. [The thesis is] a wonderful tool and it helps kids get into graduate school. Plus, it takes discipline to do. And there’s an advantage to being small when you’re not defensively small like we used to be. Because you can do independent study, you can do tutorials, all these things, special things. You can make a four-subject major if you really, really want to! We’re not so bureaucratic that you can’t get an exception to do almost anything, there are people who will help you. Everybody knows you. And so by the time you’re a junior, you have a lot of faculty friends who want to see you succeed and will help you do things. I was out on the lake canoeing and my glasses fell off, just before we were coming for the interview. I never could function without my glasses. By the time contact lenses were invented, I was used to wearing glasses. But I did have an old pair with a cracked lens, so I had to wear those. And I didn’t have a dress. And Ba Win didn’t have-- We had to stop in town and buy a dress and a pair of pants for the interview and we stopped in Great Barrington and bought a pair of pants. We worked at a summer camp, we didn’t have any clothes for this. Not that this was a dressy place, but still. So there I was in my cracked glasses and my shirtwaist dress. We were late because we looked at the map and we said, oh, we get on the Mass Pike and we get off, it’s only two exits on the Mass Pike. We were half an hour late! It’s a long way-- two exits, but it’s 30 miles! You think of two exits and when your center has always been Boston, you don’t realize that those two exits are so-- they say Western Mass, they mean Northampton. The Berkshires didn’t exist. [Gill Panchy] made the best signs. [One of them in the mail room] said “Please be patient while the mail is being SORDID” It’s so Gill, it’s so Simon’s Rock. So kids would have to sit patiently until she was ready, she wouldn’t be hurried.https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/sr-oral_hist/1019/thumbnail.jp

Ventajas de aplicar la triangulación empresarial entre España, China y América Latina. Una relación win-win para todos los polos
No full textEspaña tiene la oportunidad de desempeñar un papel importante en el proceso de internacionalización de las empresas chinas hacia Europa y América Latina gracias a la histórica experiencia de las multinacionales españolas en estas regiones. Puesto que las relaciones diplomáticas entre España y China gozan de buena sintonía, si España aprovecha la posición de privilegio respecto al resto de economías europeas, el gigante asiático podría estar interesado en el apoyo de España en América Latina, propiciando así la implantación de iniciativas de cooperación entre los tres polos. Los puntos clave para construir una relación win-win en clave triangular es la importancia de un socio local para profundizar en su despliegue internacional en América Latina, que las empresas chinas requieren, además del expertise y know-how necesarios en los procesos operativos, siendo en estos ámbitos las empresas españolas las mejor posicionadas
