“…Zhuo et al ( 2021 ) first assess the impact effect of PFTZ construction on regional environmental welfare taking Guangdong PFTZ as the example and find that PFTZ construction can improve the regional environment only by increasing technological progress. Zhou et al ( 2022 ) further explore and evaluate the high-quality green development path of the PFTZ, which proves that the PFTZ can only achieve further development if it adheres to the green development path. With the deepening research on the environmental effects of PFTZ, some scholars have begun to look for suitable indicators to comprehensively study the economic and environmental effects of PFTZ construction and find that GTFP seems to be a suitable indicator.…”

China’s pilot free trade zone (PFTZ) is an important national strategy to achieve high-quality development, so it is necessary to discuss the effect of PFTZ implementation on green total factor productivity (GTFP). Based on the data from 279 cities in China from 2004 to 2018, this study takes the establishment of PFTZ as a quasi-natural experiment and uses the difference-in-differences (DID) method to systematically evaluate the effect of PFTZ on urban GTFP. The empirical results of this paper are shown as follows: Firstly, the construction of PFTZ has a significant effect on urban GTFP, and this effect has increased gradually over time. Secondly, the construction of PFTZ mainly promotes the urban GTFP by increasing the level of science and technology innovation, reducing government intervention and improving the level of human capital. Thirdly, the effect of PFTZ construction on GTFP is more pronounced in regions with earlier waves of PFTZ and in western regions where environmental concerns are higher. In addition, there is a significant positive linkage between the construction of the PFTZ and the Belt and Road Initiative to improve the urban GTFP. The findings of this paper enrich the relevant literature on PFTAs and sustainable development and provide a theoretical basis for further promotion of PFTZ construction.

“…In equation (5), θ represents the missing data, θ(t) indicates the maximum point under t-times iteration, Q denotes the joint log-likelihood expectation, and E stands for When the test results conform to the normal distribution, the EM algorithm can be used to supplement the missing data. Firstly, the EM algorithm is used to estimate the parameters of missing data, then the mode is used to supplement the discrete data and retrograde data, while the E value and M value determined in the EM algorithm are used to supplement the continuous data, and thus the supplementary data are classified [28].…”

To improve the efficiency of scientific assessment of cadre performance, first, this work analyzes the current situation of cadre performance appraisal in the free trade zone under the background of big data, and introduces the free trade zone and Random Forest (RF) algorithm. Second, based on the cadre evaluation index, this work establishes the cadre performance evaluation system of the free trade zone. Finally, the random forest algorithm model is implemented for the performance evaluation of cadres in the free trade zone. Additionally, the model’s performance is verified with the actual data, including the acquisition of the best parameters and the most important indicators of the model and the performance comparison between the RF algorithm and other models. The results show that the performance of cadres in the free trade zone is finally divided into four grades: medium, good, qualified, and excellent. There are obvious grade differences in the performance of cadres in the free trade zone. Partly because some qualified cadres lack a strong sense of competition and professional competence, do not publicize the work of cadres in the free trade zone, and do not communicate with the masses in time. In the data processing, 18 missing experimental data were supplemented, and the best model parameters were obtained as follows: NTree = 200, MTry = 1. The most important indicators of cadre performance evaluation are the construction of a clean and honest government, the ability to act in accordance with the law and the professional ability. The accuracy of the RF algorithm obtained here is 71.4%. The prediction accuracy of the RF algorithm for the overall sample, training sample, and test sample is 94%, 96%, and 86%, respectively, which are higher than those of other common models. A RF algorithm with good classification effect is obtained and this work provides a reference for the scientific management of cadre performance appraisal.

“…For all these reasons, research linked to QCA is emerging in the academic sphere [ 67 ]. To this is added the fact that it is ideal for works with a small or medium sample size—close to 50 cases [ 68 , 69 ]. Applying QCA, it is possible to systematically analyze a set of cases in order to determine causal patterns in the form of necessary and sufficient conditions between a set of conditions and a certain result [ 69 ].…”

The Transition of Cities towards Innovations in Mobility: Searching for a Global Perspective

The growing concentration of the population in urban areas presents great challenges for sustainability. Within this process, mobility emerges as one of the main generators of externalities that hinder the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The transition of cities towards innovations in sustainable mobility requires progress in different dimensions, whose interaction requires research. Likewise, it is necessary to establish whether the experiences developed between cities with different contexts can be extrapolated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify how the conditions that determine a city’s readiness to implement urban mobility innovations could be combined. For this, qualitative comparative analysis was applied to a model developed using the multi-level perspective, analyzing 60 cities from different geographical areas and with a different gross domestic product per capita. The R package Set Methods was used. The explanation of the readiness of cities to implement mobility innovations is different to the explanation of the readiness negation. While readiness is explained by two solutions, in which only regime elements appear, the negation of readiness is explained by five possible solutions, showing the interaction between the landscape and regimen elements and enacting the negation of innovations as a necessary condition. The cluster analysis shows us that the results can be extrapolated between cities with different contexts.
