“…From this result, we can categorise four growth patterns in China: (1) growth has been attained by a large contribution of increasing capital stock and a high increase in TFP (Fujian and Guandong); (2) growth can be attributed solely to capital stock due to the high estimated value of capital share (around 0.9) in production function (Shanghai and Zejiang); (3) growth has been attained by the overall contribution of capital, physical labour, human capital input and TFP, accompanied by a substantial decrease in employment in the agricultural sector (Hubei and Henan); and (4) growth has been attained mostly through capital and labour with negative or nearly zero value of TFP contribution (Jianxi or Hunan). 4 Hayami (1997) helps to interpret these results. The paper emphasised two patterns of economic growth; the first is the 'Marxist type' which means that the modern industrial sector plays the role of engine of economic growth with high-level capital inputs, and the second is the 'Kuznets type' which means that an improvement of industrial intellectuality and expansion of the service industry play key roles as engines of economic growth.…”

Regional diversity in the process of economic growth is the major concern in this paper. We will try to identify its sources for growth and to specify production functions in each province by estimating translog production function. This paper clarifies the following four facts: First, capital accumulation was a major source for growth in the earlier stage of the Chinese economy, especially in the eastern coastal region. Unexpectedly, capital accumulation is losing its ground over the years. Second, the employment structure of the economy in the eastern region has changed significantly and the shares of workers in the secondary and tertiary industries increased until 1992. Since 1992, these figures have not changed significantly despite China's continuous economic high growth. Third, four distinguishable regional growth patterns have contributed to China's economic growth. Finally, production technologies in each province vary both in the direction of factor intensity and in the elasticity of substitution between inputs.

“…Unlike in the non-agricultural sector, technology adoption is not easy to implement in agriculture. This is primarily due to the fact that agriculture is strongly constrained by environmental conditions, which makes it difficult to transfer advanced technologies developed in the temperate zone to the tropical zone (Hayami and Godo, 2005). Hence, to facilitate TFP growth in agriculture it is essential to develop the appropriate adoptive research, along with the mechanisms to later diffuse the new technologies.…”

Japan experienced high growth of TFP following World War II. This paper studies the sources of this technological growth and documents the role played by different government policies in achieving such growth. We find that in non-agricultural sectors, TFP growth occurred at first through the import of foreign technologies via licensing, and subsequently through the innovation of its own technologies. In agriculture, TFP grew mostly through the development of its own technologies. The Japanese government played a part in the growth of TFP by directing the adoption of foreign technologies, promoting coordination of R&D activities, and setting up channels for the domestic diffusion of available technologies.

“…This has led to a poor maintenance and misuse and threatened the main developmental goals. Community-Based Water Supply (CBWS) management is one the many interventions designed to address the rural domestic water supply and sustainability problem and has gained considerable prominence since the late 1980s [1]. CBWS management is now is the most important tool to deliver greater access, equity and sustainability in service delivery including the sub-Saharan African region where the slowest progress towards meeting the MDG targets in rural domestic water supply has so far been registered [2].…”

In the current paper, the sustainability of community-based water supply projects in four different states in Sudan was assessed using a set of multidimensional indicators. A sustainability index was developed using a set of sustainability criteria including technical, reliability/risk, social, organisational, financial as well as sustainability. Basic sustainability criteria were selected based on literature review and stakeholders discussion. For each criterion a set of observable indicators was identified, in total 23 indicators were identified. Furthermore, a detailed statistical analysis and model development was carried out to identify main sustainability determinants for community-based water supply projects in Sudan. Partial least squares-path modelling was used to determine and quantify relationships between the sustainability criteria. The results showed that although all analyzed projects were relatively young projects (1 to 4 years), all projects showed low sustainability performance. This was mainly due to organizational as well as financial aspects, which also was confirmed by path modeling analysis, the sustainability of community-based water supply projects was directly related to organizational aspects, but indirectly related to financial issues. There is a need to give more attention to the communities' organizational and financial abilities and to leverage their ability through governmental and/or non-governmental organization support especially after project implementation phase.
