“…In view of the above, after consulting the relevant literature, this paper found that the two ratios are closely related to knowledge elements and absorptive capacity. Knowledge is an important factor in innovation development, and its spillover has a significant effect on sustainable economic development [1]. Absorptive capacity also plays a positive role in this process [2].…”

Innovation is the primary driving force for development and the core of green, healthy, and sustainable economic development. This paper researches the spatial effect of absorptive capacity on regional innovation capacity from the perspective of knowledge spillover. We use the seven dimensions such as R & D intensity to build an absorptive capacity index evaluation system. After statistical verification, we select the most suitable empirical model, the dynamic Spatial Durbin Model with two-way fixed effect. The empirical results show that: (1) The promotion effect of absorptive capacity on knowledge spillovers in one province has no obvious effect on innovation promotion in other provinces, especially provinces at similar economic levels. However, it tends to inhibit the innovation development of neighboring provinces. (2) The impact of absorptive capacity on promoting knowledge spillovers varies from region to region. The eastern provinces of China are not affected by the absorptive capacity of neighboring provinces. The regression results of the central and western regions are not substantially different from the full sample. This study puts forward some policy suggestions based on the empirical results. It shows that a higher absorptive capacity does not mean better performance. The Chinese government should thus promote innovation in different provinces according to the local conditions. Sustainability 2020, 12, 3021 2 of 23 Although China has already become the second largest economy in the world, its comprehensive innovation capacity is relatively weak. Up to now, there have been some problems in China's innovation development, such as imbalance and inadequacy. Population and resource mismatches and weak industrial sustainability are already prominent. The Chinese government has given long-term attention and support to innovation development. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed at various conferences that innovation development is urgent. The National Innovation Blue Book: China Innovation Development Report (2016) summarizes the situation: "There are two major constraints on China's innovation development. One is the insufficient use of innovation resources; the other is the insufficient economic transformation rate of innovation results." In view of the above, after consulting the relevant literature, this paper found that the two ratios are closely related to knowledge elements and absorptive capacity. Knowledge is an important factor in innovation development, and its spillover has a significant effect on sustainable economic development [1]. Absorptive capacity also plays a positive role in this process [2]. Nieto and Quevedo emphasized that only when external knowledge is absorbed is the entire spillover process complete. In addition, absorptive capacity is the key to improving spillover efficiency.[3] EgbeTokun and Savin explained that a region with high absorptive capacity can quickly transform received knowledge into expected economic output and realize benefits [4].Based on the above, thi...

“…Therefore, to compensate for the incurred costs, it is necessary to establish property rights. The lack of clearly established rights can lead to uncontrolled spatial management processes and the lack of awareness of generating externalities for other users (Batabyal and Nijkamp 2014;Baumol and Oates, 1993). Establishing and granting ownership rights to entities functioning within the framework of adopted principles and regulations in force will prevent the internalization of external costs.…”

Regardless of the aim, all man-made actions within a given space and using the available resources have a positive or negative impact on the anthropogenic and natural environment, both individually and in relation to one another. To a certain extent, spatial planning regulations and policies aim to regulate the amplitude of this impact and diminish the prospective positive and negative externalities. A categorisation of externalities was proposed in relation to spatial planning and spatial policy, real estate management, natural, environmental and agricultural conditions, and technical infrastructure. The assessment of particular externalities was based on integrated governance consisting of partial governance frameworks: economic governance, institutional and political governance, spatial governance, social governance, and environmental governance. The Delphi method was employed to evaluate externalities, by putting together a team of 12 spatial management experts. The methodological assumptions required adopting a definition of externalities and their features. Also, an in-depth analysis was conducted on the relationships and effects of activities carried out by entities operating in specific conditions and within the framework of social, economic and spatial policies. We considered the necessary assumptions aimed to explicitly define positive and negative externalities in spatial management, which was a difficult undertaking because of the particularities of cost-related and external benefits. A comprehensive list was created, relevant to the adopted classification of externalities. The conclusions provide recommendations for sectoral policies and advance further research directions.

“…To this end, the wealth gap in America has steadily increased over the last 50 years, and recent polling data indicates that 61% of Americans say there is too much inequality (Schaeffer 2020). Further, while economic growth tends to be viewed as a positive, its benefits are not always equally distributed and can lead to displacement and competition over resources (Batabyal and Nijkamp 2014). On one hand, the U.S. has shifted towards a service-based economy and a strong technology sector, and away from more traditional industries, such as manufacturing and agriculture.…”

While many scholars and analysts have observed a decline in civility in recent years, there have been few examinations of how political, economic, and institutional structures may partially explain inter-state differences in these trends. We suggest three potential explanations: (1) institutional structures, such as legislative professionalism and gubernatorial power, have created different contexts in which legislators build and maintain inter-personal relationships; (2) partisan competition has led to less bipartisan cooperation and contributed to strained relationships between members of different parties; and, (3) economic inequity and change has contributed to economic anxiety among citizens, contributing to conflict in legislative bodies as elected officials attempt to navigate emerging policy challenges. To test these explanations, we develop an innovative measure of civility using a national survey of lobbyists and a partial Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP) design. Findings suggest that there is some validity to all three explanations, and signifying that civility is at least partially a result of structural issues.
