Development Studies in Regional Science - Essays in Honor of Kingsley E. Haynes (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Zhenhua Chen,... Development Studies in Regional Science - Essays in Honor of Kingsley E. Haynes (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Zhenhua Chen, William M Bowen, Dale Whittington
R4,080 Discovery Miles 40 800 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book examines major policy and planning issues in development studies from the regional science perspective. It investigates questions such as: "How are communities able to deal with uncertainties raised by conflicts, technology, and external shocks in the process of development?"; "How can nations achieve sustainable development in terms of resource allocation and management?"; and "How can developing countries improve their economic competitiveness while maintaining the objectives of equitable and coordinated growth among different regions?" using case studies that focus on different subfields, like infrastructure, environment, data science, sustainability and resilience. The book is organized in three parts. Part I clarifies fundamental issues regarding development studies and regional science in general, while Part II includes several case studies that address development-related opportunities and challenges with a focus on Asian countries. Lastly, Part III offers a global perspective and explores development experiences from countries throughout the world. Featuring contributions by leading academics and practitioners working at various organizations linked to international development, and including multidisciplinary analyses, the book appeals to students who are interested in development studies and regional science. It also offers planners and policymakers fresh insights into regional economic development.

Chinese Railways in the Era of High Speed (Hardcover): Zhenhua Chen, Kingsley E. Haynes Chinese Railways in the Era of High Speed (Hardcover)
Zhenhua Chen, Kingsley E. Haynes
R2,829 Discovery Miles 28 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

After a decade of steady investment and construction, Chinese railways have evolved into an era of high-speed. This book has two objectives. The first is to introduce the Chinese railway system to an international audience and document the evolutionary process of railway development in China. For the first time, this book clarifies the Chinese experience with HSR deployment and details the economic and physical achievements and related managerial issues and institutional challenges. The second objective is to discuss and analyze critical concerns regarding Chinese railway operations, management and institutional structure. This book analyses best practices of railway reform, reform strategies and considers how to improve China's related institutions. This research reflects on experiences in other countries and policy implications for the Chinese railway system. The book makes recommendations for how to improve the capability and capacity of institutions and organizations, in order to achieve sustainable development of the Chinese HSR system.

High Speed Rail and China's New Economic Geography - Impact Assessment from the Regional Science Perspective (Hardcover):... High Speed Rail and China's New Economic Geography - Impact Assessment from the Regional Science Perspective (Hardcover)
Zhenhua Chen, Kingsley E. Haynes; As told to Yulong Zhou, Zhaoxin Dai
R3,239 Discovery Miles 32 390 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

High Speed Rail and China's New Economic Geography presents an analytical approach to assessing the socioeconomic impact of high speed rail in China, with an emphasis on capturing the spatial spillover effects of rail infrastructure development on China's economic geography in terms of land use, housing market, tourism, regional disparity, modal competition, the economy and environment. The assessment involves a multilevel spatial analysis approach at both the national and the regional level. The methods include partial equilibrium analysis characterized by a spatial econometric modeling and the state-of-the-art computable general equilibrium modeling. It provides a basis for policy decision-making and operational considerations. Academic scholars and students who are specialized in regional economics, urban planning, public policy, and transportation will find this book useful. Practitioners and policy-makers will also find this book valuable as the empirical findings provide implications for future transportation planning and development.

Big Data for Regional Science (Hardcover): Laurie A. Schintler, Zhenhua Chen Big Data for Regional Science (Hardcover)
Laurie A. Schintler, Zhenhua Chen
R4,421 Discovery Miles 44 210 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Recent technological advancements and other related factors and trends are contributing to the production of an astoundingly large and rapidly accelerating collection of data, or 'Big Data'. This data now allows us to examine urban and regional phenomena in ways that were previously not possible. Despite the tremendous potential of big data for regional science, its use and application in this context is fraught with issues and challenges. This book brings together leading contributors to present an interdisciplinary, agenda-setting and action-oriented platform for research and practice in the urban and regional community. This book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and cutting-edge perspective on big data for regional science. Chapters contain a collection of research notes contributed by experts from all over the world with a wide array of disciplinary backgrounds. The content is organized along four themes: sources of big data; integration, processing and management of big data; analytics for big data; and, higher level policy and programmatic considerations. As well as concisely and comprehensively synthesising work done to date, the book also considers future challenges and prospects for the use of big data in regional science. Big Data for Regional Science provides a seminal contribution to the field of regional science and will appeal to a broad audience, including those at all levels of academia, industry, and government.
