“…Economic transformation generally refers to the process of globalization, marketization, and decentralization. In recent years, experts and scholars have gradually realized the important role of economic transformation and have explored regional economic development (Jiya et al 2020), industrial pollution (Zhiqing et al 2018), and land use (Huang et al 2015) from the perspective of economic transformation.…”

At present, China's economic development has entered a "new normal." Exploring Industrial ecological efficiency (IEE) in the background of economic transformation is of great significance to promote China's industrial transformation and upgrading and achieving high-quality economic development. Based on the Super-Efficiency DEA model, this study evaluated the IEE of cities in the Yellow River Basin from 2008 to 2017. Exploratory spatial data analysis methods were used to explore the spatial-temporal evolutionary characteristics, and a panel regression model was established to explore the influencing factors of IEE. The research results showed that: The IEE in the Yellow River Basin exhibited an elongated S-shaped evolutionary trend from 2008 to 2017, and the mean IEE of cities presented a trend whereby Yellow River Basin's regions could be ranked in the following order: lower reaches > middle reaches > upper reaches. There was significant spatial autocorrelation of the IEE in the Yellow River Basin, and the hot and cold spots showed an obvious "spatial clubs" phenomenon. The results of panel regression show that the influence factors of IEE in the Yellow River Basin showed spatial heterogeneity in their effect.

“…Chiwona-Karltun et al(2021) in particular emphasized that the onset of the pandemic has intensified food security challenges in Africa, which can be remedied through effective governance. This is largely due to the fact through economic governance, trade, employment, manufacturing and production are likely to increase (Asongu & Odhiambo, 2021;Azam, 2021;Jiya et al, 2020), which further increases the income of households. In agricultural economies like Ghana, rising household incomes corresponds to rising investment in agriculture inputs by farmers, which increases agricultural yields and productivity.…”

“…For instance, Bah & Kpognon (2020) posit that governance in general and rule of law and political stability in particular, within the Economic Community of West African States, stimulates public investment and economic growth. Studies also recommend the need for policies in developing African countries to aggressively tackle carbon emission, energy and environmental pollution (Adewuyi & Awodumi, 2020) as well as infrastructural gaps (Jiya, Sama, & Ouedraogo, 2020), which hamper agriculture, food security and sustainable economic growth. Thus, governance has the potential to cushion livelihood, reduce poverty and increase agriculture activities among the poor (Ataguba, 2020;Diop & Asongu, 2021), thereby addressing food insecurity.…”

“…On the other hand, trade costs can affect economic growth, including through their effects on trade openness. In fact, some studies have pointed to the positive effect of trade facilitation (i.e., trade costs reduction) on economic growth and development, including in landlocked developing countries (e.g., Carmignani, 2015;Jiya et al, 2020;Paudel, 2014;Pham and Sim, 2020;Sakyi et al, 2017). Sørensen (2014) has made the distinction between additive per unit trade costs, and conventional iceberg (i.e., multiplicative) trade costs, and shown that lower additive per unit trade costs play a greater role (i.e., quantitatively) in promoting welfare than the fall in the conventional iceberg (i.e., multiplicative) trade costs.…”

Trade Costs and Tax Structure Reform in Developing Countries

Developing countries are striving to reform their tax structure so as to reduce their total tax revenue's dependence on international trade tax revenue. The present study has investigated the effect of trade costs on this type of tax structure reform (also referred to as "Tax transition Reform" - TTR) through the trade openness channel in developing countries. It has additionally examined how development aid and economic growth performance alter the effect of trade costs on the TTR process. The analysis has used a set of 124 countries over the period 1996–2019, and the two-step system generalized method of moments estimator. It shows that over the full sample, higher overall trade costs, in particular higher nontariff costs discourage the pursuance of the TTR process, while nontariff costs exert no significant effect on TTR. In less developed countries, higher overall trade costs (including higher nontariff costs) tend to promote the TTR, while higher tariff costs discourage the pursuance of TTR. Concurrently, in relatively advanced countries, the overall trade costs (including nontariff costs) undermine the TTR process, but higher tariff costs do not influence it. The analysis has also shown that higher trade costs (overall trade costs, tariffs costs, and nontariff costs) undermine the TTR process in countries that enjoy high degrees of openness to international trade. In other words, countries that wish to pursue their TTR process while further opening-up their economies to international trade have to reduce their trade costs. On the other side, high amounts of development aid allow developing countries to strengthen the TTR process in the context of higher trade costs. Finally, a high economic growth performance fosters the TTR process when countries face higher nontariff costs, while the effect of tariff costs on TTR does not depend on countries' economic growth performance.
