This paper reveals the coupling mechanism of government support, financial support, and innovation. Using panel data from 28 provinces in China from 2007 to 2016 as a research sample, the coupling coordination degree model is used to measure the coupling coordination degree of government support, financial support, and innovation, and the empirical analysis of its relationship with economic development is conducted through projection pursuit model, static panel data model and dynamic panel data model. The main results show that: (1) The coupling coordination degree of government support, financial support, and innovation in the eastern, central, and western region is on the rise, but there are large differences between regions. (2) The coupling coordination degree of government support, financial support, and innovation has a significant positive impact on economic development, and there are regional differences in its role in promoting economic development. That is, the coupling coordination degree of government support, financial support, and innovation has significantly promoted the economic development of the eastern region, but has no significant impact on the economic development of the central and western region.

“…In the future, the WEF nexus faces four major challenges, namely the definition of the system boundary, the uncertainty associated with modeling, restrictions on the internal mechanism, and the evaluation of system performance. Xu et al [20] studied the coupling and coordination degrees of the WEF nexus and found key factors that affected the development levels of WEF. In terms of the research method of the WEF nexus, most of the references mainly adopted qualitative methods, such as an entity model evaluation method.…”

With the supply of water, energy and food facing severe challenges, there has been an increased recognition of the importance of studying the regional water–energy–food nexus. In this paper, Inner Mongolia, including 12 cities in China, was selected as a research case. A super-efficiency slack based measure (SBM) model that considered the undesirable outputs was adopted to calculate the regional total factor productivity (TFP) and the Malmquist–Luenberger index was used to investigate the change trend of the TFP from 2007 to 2016 based on understanding the water–energy–food nexus. Finally, influential factors of the TFP were explored by Tobit regression. The results show that the 12 Inner Mongolia cities are divided into higher, moderate and lower efficiency zones. The higher efficiency zone includes Ordos, Hohhot, Xing’an, and Tongliao, and the lower efficiency zone includes Chifeng, Xilin Gol, Baynnur, Wuhai and Alxa. There is a serious difference in TFP between Inner Mongolia cities. During the study period, the TFP of the water–energy–food nexus in Inner Mongolia cities shows a rising trend, which is mainly driven by the growth of technical progress change. However, the average ML values of the lower and moderate efficiency zones were inferior to the higher efficiency zone in six of the ten years, so the difference between Inner Mongolia cities is growing. According to the Tobit regression, the mechanization level and degree of opening up have positive effects on the TFP, while enterprise scale and the output of the third industry have negative effects on the TFP. Government support does not have any significant impact on the TFP. Finally, suggestions were put forward to improve the TFP of the water–energy–food nexus in Inner Mongolia cities.

“…Meanwhile, the interlinkages within the Nexus summarize that 1. water is essential to energy production; 2. energy is necessary to water treatment and distribution; 3. water is required for cultivation and irrigation, crops ensure proper drainage for excess water; and lastly, 4. food security provides continuous energy production, and energy continuously runs industries in food production and transportation [14]. Therefore, the WEF Nexus is viewed as a holistic vehicle to promote sustainable utilization of resources and preserve the ecosystem.…”

Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all, is a recognized Sustainable Development Goal. Yet the COVID-19 pandemic poses great challenges to the provision of bioenergy in Canada. Our study aims to examine these challenges by applying the Water-Food-Energy (WEF) Nexus Approach and suggest an alternative policy framework in the post-COVID-19 recovery process. The paper analyzes the socio-economic and environmental impacts of COVID-19 and draws upon the bioenergy management strategies and policies in Canada, as well as other countries. The revised policy framework is built by considering the interactions across the WEF Nexus and adopting the experience from international examples, which could effectively minimize the shortcomings of the existing Canadian policy framework. Decision-makers may use our framework to overcome challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure smooth bioenergy development and provision amid this global crisis.
