Abstract:
Purpose: This paper examined the potential of domestic industrial output on economic growth in Nigeria. Approach/ Methodology/ Design: An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model procedure was employed for data analysis. Findings: The results revealed that the contribution of the domestic industrial output to economic growth was appalling which was necessitated by the worrisome image of “Made-in-Nigeria” goods. It was also showed that the results that domestic industrial output and domestic savings have positive relationships with real gross domestic product (RGDP) in the long run. This implies that a rise in the level of each of domestic output and domestic savings necessitated an increase in real gross domestic product (RGDP). Practical Implication: The implication presented in this study is related to the concerned authorities. The results indicate the need for diverse domestic production in order to achieve a healthy competition in the industrial sector in the country. Originality/Value: The study innovates by employing various statistical tools for exploring the effect of domestic industrial output on economic growth. The significant contribution of this study is in identifying that domestic production in Nigeria has been lagged behind in terms of output performance in the economy.

Abstract:
The importance of the industrial sector output in enhancing sustainable economic growth has long been documented given that the sector is generally perceived as the engine of growth in an economy. This notwithstanding, Nigeria seems not to have put in place appropriate policies and programs that would engender the desired industrial output growth. The main aim of the paper, therefore, is to examine empirically the relationships between industrial sector output and the sustainable economic growth of Nigeria for the period 1981 to 2018. In doing this, descriptive statistics, unit root and co-integration tests as well as long run and short run analyses were conducted using the error correction model (ECM) of the econometrics. The empirical results from these estimation procedures were quite revealing. For instance, there existed a positive relationship between industrial sector output and economic growth though this was weak considering the magnitude of effects. Capital expenditure and lending rate exerted negative relationships on industrial output and these tended to have accounted for the current low level of industrial activities in the country. The stability test carried out in the paper showed a significant structural stability, which affirmed that these results have called for appropriate policy options that would bring about the desired industrial sector output growth patterns. Hence, strengthening the industrial sector activities in Nigeria as well as streamlining capital expenditure and lending rate to enhance the sector’s output has become imperative. This is typically true as it is the only path that would lead to the enhancement of the industrial sector output and, invariably, the sustainable economic development that Nigeria desperately desires.

Abstract:
The growth rate of industrial electricity usage predicts future stock returns up to 1 year with an R2 of 9%. High industrial electricity usage today predicts low stock returns in the future, consistent with a countercyclical risk premium. Industrial electricity usage tracks the output of the most cyclical sectors. Our findings bridge a gap between the asset pricing literature and the business cycle literature, which uses industrial electricity usage to gauge production and output in real time. Industrial electricity growth compares favorably with traditional financial variables, and it outperforms Cooper and Priestley’s output gap measure in real time.

Abstract:
After twenty-five years of economic transition economic performance varies considerably in transition countries, while in most cases current outcomes show that the desired effects have not been achieved. In this paper we elaborate on why industrial policy has been a key missing element in the transition and has greatly contributed to the unexpectedly small and slow pace of economic recovery. After discussing the achieved level of economic development we undertake an empirical analysis in order to define the role of several important factors of growth, as seen at the beginning of transition (reform progress, macroeconomic stabilisation, initial conditions) and those that attracted particular attention during the global crisis (industrial/manufacturing output, exports). The analysis shows that the growth model in transition economies has altered both over time and in relation to the progress of transition reforms. The most important change concerns the share of industrial output in GDP, which is found to be one of the most important factors of growth after the initial phase of reform. These results suggest that transition economies should implement industrial policy measures as an integral part of their reform strategy instead of just speeding up reforms as the key (if not the only) element of government policy. Based on these results, we explore what would be a viable and proper industrial policy in transition countries, particularly what should be done in current conditions after the damaging effects of the recurrent global recession, and make some policy suggestions.

Abstract:
The past decade has seen slowdowns in measured labor productivity growth across a broad swath of developed economies. The industrial sector grew 5.02 per cent in the outgoing fiscal year as opposed to the growth rate of 5.8pc recorded a year ago, in Pakistan. The main objective of this research is to examinethe small industrial performance in Peshawar-Pakistan. KPK is the smallest province in terms of area, among the four provinces, and the third-largest in terms of population. This study is about the total units Kohat road 124 industrial estates and 71 are closed which has spawned many social evils such a phenomenal increase in smuggling, trade and macro-unemployed youths indulge in illegal commercial ventures. The results show that the contribution of small-scale industrial sector toward the socio-economic development of the province is not significant. Furthermore, the main reasons are inconvenient location (away from the seaport), non-availability of skilled labor, inconsistent government policies, the dearth of local capital, lack of infrastructure and comparatively poor law and order situation, due to Afghan War, and operation in tribal areas. Nonetheless, certain policy recommendations were suggested based on the finding.

Abstract:
This paper employs an eight variable Structural Vector Auto regression (SVAR) model to examine how monetary policy shocks affect industrial sector performance in South Africa using monthly data from 1994:1 to 2012:12.The study finds no direct link between exchange rate and interest rate shocks and industrial output growth. A money supply shock, however, is observed to exert a significant positive impact on industrial output growth from about the eighth month. The study also reveals that the interest rate response to an unanticipated increase in the rate of inflation is insignificant, reflecting the infrequent changes of the repo rate in the country. We also find evidence of a symbiotic relationship between industrial output growth and other sectors of the economy that form components of aggregate output. The study further demonstrates that monetary authorities have very limited control over industrial output growth using instruments of monetary policy. In addition, it is found that relatively large proportions of the variations in the rate of inflation are explained by changes in money supply, exchange rates and industrial output. We also observe that variations in exchange rates are largely explained by unexpected changes in the exchange rates themselves, which supports the Martingale Hypothesis of exchange rates.

Abstract:
The aim of this research is to investigate the key market growth factors for golf development in China as a recreation and luxury product. After nearly 30 years of development, China now has the largest golf complex in the world and the golf market in China is growing at its fastest pace for recent years (Verot, 2013). Due to rapid economic growth and the emergence of a large number of wealthy people, it has been argued that the consumption of luxury and recreational products will increase. Practically, there is evidence to suggest that golfing in China is being developed as both recreational product and luxury product. However, little research has been carried out to answer the question why a foreign game could develop so robustly, and the key factors that have contributed to its growth in relation to its unique features. Moreover, golf development in China is taking place within an increasingly complicated environment, which necessitates strategic adjustments in golf and related businesses for sustained growth. After examining existing literature, this research proposed the theoretical framework, which identifies the relationship among golf industry, features and potential factors. To test the hypotheses generated from the theoretical framework and to enrich the argument a pragmatic methodology is adopted, which involve both positivist and interpretivist approaches. Therefore, both questionnaire and in-depth interview methods are applied in this research to reach the requirement of both broadness and depth. The questionnaire was distributed to 230 golf course managers in China, and 213 valid responses were collected. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were carried out and the quantitative findings were complemented by evidence from interviews with 5 experienced golf course managers who have worked in several golf courses around China. The theoretical framework is tested through designed research and suggests that when considering golf as a recreation and luxury product, the economic factor is the key market growth factor in China. The in-depth interviews supported this finding and further suggested that the cultural factor is also significant for golf development. Moreover, the interviews also provided comprehensive information about how political, economic, cultural, technological, geographic and environmental factor are influencing current and future golf development. Accordingly, golf business should adjust their practices to their external environment. Using the political factor as an example, golf industry has the capacity to influence the factor to their advantage. The golf industry could project a positive image that golf development will not harm the natural environment if the maintenance procedures are appropriated. Furthermore, the golf industry should launch information campaigns and lobby the government to demonstrate that the concern from public is unnecessary. The findings of this study presented implications for academic literature and the golf industry. From the academic perspective, this research tested theories from existing literature in the field of golf development in China. Meanwhile, this research provides the framework for research in a related area in the future. Furthermore, this study highlighted a new niche subject of academic study, the luxury recreational sector that encompasses luxury experiences and recreation specialisation. For the golf industry in China, the framework provided by this research will help practitioners to understand their external business environment and implement innovative strategies. The information revealed by the framework will also help potential international investors to develop better strategies to gain access to the Chinese market.

Abstract:
<p>Past decades have witnessed evidence to large-scale upheaval caused by natural disasters. Thus, there is a need for determination of mechanisms through which natural disasters may influence growth, especially for developing countries. This paper traces the medium-short run time path of agricultural and industrial output growth response to four types of disasters in Southern and Southeastern Asian countries. Disasters considered are floods, droughts, storms and earthquakes. The empirical results suggest heterogeneous effects for disasters as well as different economic sectors. In many cases disaster impact was delayed. Generally speaking, floods and droughts have a stronger effect while earthquakes and storms have a weaker one on disaggregated output growth. Floods have a predominantly posi-tive effect while droughts have a negative one on both agricultural and industrial sectors. Storms seem to show a stronger negative effect in the agricultural sector than in industrial sector hinting at existence of short lived indirect effects. Earth-quakes, on the other hand, presented ambiguous growth responses.</p><br>No

Full text
Abstract:
Most countries show a relative decoupling of economic growth from domestic resource use, implying increased resource efficiency. However, international trade facilitates the exchange of products between regions with disparate resource productivity. Hence, for an understanding of resource efficiency from a consumption perspective that takes into account the impacts in the upstream supply chains, there is a need to assess the environmental pressures embodied in trade. We use EXIOBASE3, a new multiregional input-output database, to examine the rate of increase in resource efficiency, and investigate the ways in which international trade contributes to the displacement of pressures on the environment from the consumption of a population. We look at the environmental pressures of energy use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, material use, water use, and land use. Material use stands out as the only indicator growing in both absolute and relative terms to population and gross domestic product (GDP), while land use is the only indicator showing absolute decoupling from both references. Energy, GHG, and water use show relative decoupling. As a percentage of total global environmental pressure, we calculate the net impact displaced through trade rising from 23% to 32% for material use (1995¿2011), 23% to 26% for water use, 20% to 29% for energy use, 20% to 26% for land use, and 19% to 24% for GHG emissions. The results show a substantial disparity between trade-related impacts for Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries. At the product group level, we observe the most rapid growth in environmental footprints in clothing and footwear. The analysis points to implications for future policies aiming to achieve environmental targets, while fully considering potential displacement effects through international trade.

Esta tesis doctoral es una colección de tres artículos. Los capítulos 1 y 2, co-autorados con Joachim Voth, investigan por qué Europa en 1700 ya era más rico que el resto del mundo y por qué Inglaterra fue el primer país en industrializarse. Encontramos que las dinámicas de la población, en lugar del crecimiento de la productividad, fueron los promotores más importantes del desarrollo económico de Europa Occidental durante la temprana edad moderna (1450-1700). Calibramos un modelo probabilístico para representar Inglaterra en 1700 y encontramos que ingresos iniciales más altos unidos a limitaciones de fertilidad aumentaron la probabilidad de industrialización. En el tercer capítulo, presento un nuevo hecho estilizado y analizo su contribución al sesgo del cambio tecnológico hacia los trabajadores más cualificados: El porcentaje de trabajadores cualificados en la producción intermedia está altamente correlacionado con la proporción de trabajo cualificado en la producción final. Esto genera un efecto multiplicador que refuerza la demanda de trabajo cualificado a lo largo de la cadena de producción. El efecto es importante, explica más de un tercio del aumento de la demanda de trabajadores cualificados en la industria manufacturera de EE.UU.<br>This dissertation is a collection of three essays. Chapters 1 and 2, co-authored with Joachim Voth, investigate the question why Europe in 1700 was ahead of the rest of the world and why England was the first country to industrialize. We find that population dynamics, rather than productivity growth, were the most important drivers for Western Europe to overtake China in the early modern period (1450-1700). We calibrate a probabilistic model to match England in 1700 and find that higher initial per capita incomes together with fertility limitation increased its industrialization probabilities. In the third chapter, I present a novel stylized fact and analyze its contribution to the skill bias of technical change: The share of skilled labor embedded in intermediate inputs correlates strongly with the skill share employed in final production. This delivers a multiplier that reinforces skill demand along the production chain. The effect is large, accounting for more than one third of the observed skill upgrading in U.S. manufacturing.

Abstract:
The goal of the study is to examine the relationship between financial sector development and output growth in the agricultural, mining and manufacturing sectors in South Africa. The analysis is based on the hypothesis that financial development is essential for promoting production growth in an economy. To test the hypothesis, in the South African context, the vector autoregressive model (VAR) framework and Granger causality test are applied to a quarterly data set starting from 1970 quarter one to 2009 quarter four. The results suggest that financial intermediary development (bank based measure) and stock market development (market based measure) have a positive impact on output growth in the agriculture, mining and manufacturing sectors in South Africa. There is evidence of a one way causal relationship between financial sector development and sectoral output growth. Particularly, there is evidence that financial intermediary development and stock market development causes output growth in the agriculture, mining and manufacturing sectors in South Africa. However, there is no evidence showing causality running from sectoral output growth to financial sector development. The results provide evidence supporting the theory which states that financial development is essential to promote output growth in a country i.e. in our case South Africa. Thus an efficient financial system which promotes efficient channeling of resources towards the agricultural, mining and manufacturing sectors should be built.

Abstract:
Le développement économique est associé à des changements des structures de production et d'exportation. Chaque pays maîtrise un ensemble de capacités, c'est-à-dire un ensemble de tâches et de connaissances nécessaires à la réalisation de certains produits. La maîtrise de capacités supplémentaires permet aux pays de produire des produits ou des technologies plus complexes. Comprendre le développement économique implique de comprendre comment les pays peuvent ajouter de nouveaux produits à leur panier de production et d'exportation et développer des industries particulières. Chaque industrie a des caractéristiques spécifiques en termes de capacités,de technologies et de connaissances et en termes de nature de leur production. Dans cette thèse, je fournis des évidences empiriques de l'importance des frontières et des liens entre les industries pour comprendre le changement structurel et la dynamique de la croissance économique. Le chapitre 2 propose une nouvelle méthodologie pour identifier les patrons d'organisation des industries et leur évolution dans le temps. Pour ce faire, j'analyse la structure de cluster du réseau de produits construit à partir de données d'exportation. Les résultats montrent que les produits se regroupent selon différents facteurs : leur complexité et leurs domaines technologiques, l'abondance de main-d’œuvre peu qualifiée ou des ressources naturelles dont ils ont besoin, ainsi que les chaînes de valeur mondiales et l'intégration verticale de leur processus de production. De plus, les résultats montrent que les domaines technologiques et les frontières entre les industries ne sont pas toujours clairs et peuvent évoluer avec le temps.Dans le chapitre 3, j'étudie la dynamique de la croissance économique en examinant les caractéristiques et les déterminants des transitions entre les différents régimes de croissance à moyen terme (croissance rapide, croissance lente et récession) en utilisant un modèle semi-markovien. Les résultats indiquent que l'effet du secteur manufacturier sur la croissance économique est loin d'être uniforme et que la mesure de la structure économique importe également. De plus, les clusters de produits ayant une intensité technologique similaire jouent un rôle différent dans la dynamique de la croissance, et les chaînes de valeur mondiales (CVM) peuvent expliquer certaines de ces différences. En outre, bien que l'industrie textile soit souvent considérée comme un tremplin vers l'industrialisation, dans cette étude, l'effet de ce cluster est négatif dans de nombreux cas. Enfin, cette analyse met en évidence la présence de «pièges de récession», largement induits par une plus grande spécialisation des clusters manufacturiers basés sur les ressources naturelles. Les différences entre les industries affectent non seulement le processus de croissance du fait d’écarts de productivité, mais aussi à travers la stimulation qu'elles fournissent au reste de l’économie par le biais de liens en amont et en aval. Le chapitre 4 examine l'impact des interconnexions entre les industries sur les performances économiques, en se concentrant sur la dynamique de la demande (c'est-à-dire les liens en amont). L’assouplissement de deux hypothèses fortes associées au calcul traditionnel du multiplicateur de production permet d'estimer le degré de réponse aux chocs de demande des industries fournisseurs. Les résultats montrent qu'il existe des différences significatives entre les industries et les pays. Les industries manufacturières, et en particulier les biens de consommation finale, ont tendance à être moins sensibles aux chocs de la demande par rapport aux services. Des différences importantes sont également observées entre les pays, car les industries manufacturières des pays développés ont tendance à être moins sensibles aux chocs de la demande que dans les pays en développement<br>Economic development is associated with changes in production and export structures. Each country masters a set of capabilities, i.e. a set of tasks and knowledge necessary for the realization of some products. Mastering additional capabilities allows countries to produce more complex products or technologies. Understanding economic development involves understanding how countries can add new products to their production and export basket and develop particular industries. Each industry has specific characteristics in terms of capabilities, technologies and knowledge and in terms of the nature of their production. In this thesis, I provide empirical evidence of the importance of both boundaries and linkages between industries to understand structural change and the dynamics of economic growth. Chapter 2 proposes a new methodology for identifying patterns of organization of industries and their evolution over time. To do this, I analyze the cluster structure of the product network built from export data. Results show that products cluster according to different factors: their complexity and technological domains, the abundance of low-skilled labor or of natural resources they require, as well as global value chains and vertical integration of their production process. Moreover, I find that technological domains and boundaries between industries are not always clear-cut and can evolve over time. In chapter 3, I study the dynamics of economic growth by examining the characteristics and determinants of transitions between different medium-term growth regimes (rapid growth, slow growth and recession) using a semi-Markov framework. Results indicate that the effect of the manufacturing sector on economic growth is far from uniform and that the measure of economic structure also matters. In addition, clusters with similar technological intensity play a different role in the dynamics of growth, and, global value chains (GVCs) may explain some of these differences. Furthermore, although the textile industry is often seen as a steppingstone to industrialization, in this study the effect of this cluster is negative in many cases. Finally, this analysis highlights the presence of “recession traps”, which are largely driven by a greater specialization natural resources-based manufacturing clusters. Differences between industries affect not only the growth process through productivity gaps, but also the stimulation they provide to the rest of the economy through upstream and downstream linkages. Chapter 4 examines the impact of inter-industry interconnections on economic performance,focusing on demand dynamics (i.e. backward linkages). I relax two strong assumptions associated with the traditional calculation of the output multiplier, which makes it possible to estimate the degree of response to demand shocks from the supplying industries. Results show that there are significant differences across industries and countries. Manufacturing industries, and in particular final consumer goods ones, tend to be less responsive to shocks in demand relative to services. Significant differences are also observed between countries since manufacturing industries in developed countries tend to be less sensitive to demand shocks than in developing countries

Abstract:
博士<br>東吳大學<br>經濟學系<br>93<br>The resurgence of U.S. economic growth in the 1990s has generated considerable attention with many studies reporting a substantial impact from both the development and the use of information and communication technology (ICT). Many researchers all refer American long-run economic expansion to “New Economy”. Stiroh(2001) showed that the difference between ICT capital and non-ICT capital was that ICT capital would result in spillover effects. Our purposes of this paper, first, were that we modified the dynamic factors demand model on the papers of Nadiri and Prucha(1990,1999) in order to include the ICT capital, ICT capital’s spillover and the effect of forward- and backward-linkage in input-output table into dynamic factors demand model. Second, we construct an ICT inputs database of manufacturing industries in Taiwan. Finally, our empirical analysis shows the following results. First, ICT capital and ICT capital’s spillover effects will save the inputs of intermediate materials and non-ICT inputs, but increase the demand of ICT labors. Second, the backward-linkage effects of ICT capital’s spillover are greater than the forward-linkage effects of ICT capital’s spillover. Third, the negative effects of ICT capital’s adjustment costs to output will be great when the spillover effects are negative. Fourth, we can decompose the total factor production into scale effects, effects of adjustment cost, spillover effects and pure technical progress. Fifth, the sources of output growth in manufacturing industries of Taiwan are scale effects, ICT capital, ICT labor and technical progress in order.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the operations of the Furness Group’s industrial holdings between 1900 and 1914, and investigates the reasons for their varied performance. It considers Christopher Furness’ strategy in attempt to determine how appropriate it was, plus the effectiveness of policy implementation and how broader economic conditions influenced profitability. It also explores the support networks between allied enterprises and the commercial ties that arose within the Furness Group. It considers the capabilities and output of the Furness-owned shipyards during the period; the pattern of group shipbuilding orders; in-depth commentaries on the performance of the Furness Group’s engineering, steel, and coal interests and sub-companies; plus the links between the company’s shipping and steel interests. It concludes that Furness was both a bold investor and a defensive strategist, and that though operational difficulties arose when absorbing companies the vast majority survived as part of the Furness Group.

Abstract:
Using firm level panel data from the U.S., the authors explore the relationship between firm size and R&amp;D productivity for two important and R&amp;D-intensive industries: Semiconductors and Pharmaceuticals. They employ two measures of a firm’s R&amp;D performance: the number of citations received per patented innovation, and the number of citations received per dollar of R&amp;D expenditures. The former is a measure of the average quality of a firm’s patents, and the latter is a measure of total R&amp;D output obtained per dollar of investments. The authors find that the average quality of patents (citations received per patent) falls with firm size in Pharmaceuticals, but there is no relationship between patent quality and firm size in Semiconductors. Citations received per R&amp;D dollar decrease with size in both industries, which is due to the well-documented negative relationship between patents per R&amp;D and firm size.

Abstract:
Technology spillovers from foreign to local firms in emerging economies are considered to be the most important channel through which Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) influences the host economy. Empirical evidence about the existence, magnitude, and direction of FDI-related spillovers in these countries is contradictory, pointing to the necessity of conducting more econometric studies using firm-level data. The authors conduct an econometric analysis to assess the impact of FDI-related horizontal technology spillovers on output growth of local firms in the Turkish manufacturing industry over 2003-2006. When a broad definition of foreign ownership is adopted, their findings suggest that horizontal spillovers occur from foreign to local firms in the sector of activity. Export-oriented firms do not benefit from these spillovers in contrast to firms producing mainly for the local market. However, when foreign ownership is defined according to whether the minority or majority of capital is detained by the foreign partner, horizontal spillovers seem to originate from foreign firms with majority or full foreign ownership, while no such effect is associated with minority-owned foreign firms.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how the interdisciplinary field of industrial ecology, a blend of environmental science, social science, engineering, and management, can help deliver sustainable development goals (SDGs). As a systems science, industrial ecology provides a source of knowledge that can guide sustainable manufacturing, waste and pollution reduction, and offer a framework for extending the life of physical goods in a circular economy. The chapter focuses on four industrial ecology approaches: material stock and flow analysis, life-cycle assessment, input-output analysis, and industrial symbiosis, offering descriptions and case examples that relate to specific SDGs and targets. Although these approaches are relevant to a broad range of SDG targets, the authors focus on those pertaining to responsible and efficient use of water and energy (SDG6 and target 7.3), economic growth (SDG8), reducing inequalities (SDG10), transportation (target 11.2), production and consumption systems (SDG12 and targets 2.4 and 9.4), and climate action (SDG13). Industrial ecology approaches are also beneficial to rapidly industrializing countries, where improvements in economic performance and the environment must be carefully balanced. Finally, by tracking flows of material and energy, industrial ecology promotes resource efficiency and provides a strong basis for making sustainable production and consumption decisions.

Abstract:
The collapse of output during transition can be best explained as an adverse supply shock caused mostly by a change in relative prices after their deregulation due to distortions in industrial structure and trade patterns accumulated during the period of central planning (additional adverse supply shocks came from the collapse of state institutions), while the speed of liberalization, to the extent that it was endogenous, i.e., determined by political economy factors, had an adverse effect on performance. At the recovery stage, in contrast, the ongoing liberalization starts to affect growth positively, while the impact of pre-transition distortions disappears. Institutional capacity and reasonable macroeconomic policy, however, continue to be important prerequisites for successful performance.

Abstract:
The outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has posed multi-faceted socio-economic threats globally and nationally. India is believed to be among the worst affected countries for imposing longer and extensive lockdown. The Indian economy is projected contract significantly due to nationwide longer lockdown. The closing of all sorts of economic activities created livelihood challenges for industrial workers. This chapter highlights the potential challenges and state policy response for protection of the lives and livelihood of the labour force. Indian government undertakes many measures on the fiscal and monetary part to minimize the health and economic fallout of labour force. Due to robust policy response, Indian economy is projected to report an economic growth rate of 11% in 2021 amid the rebound of global economy and easing of lockdown restrictions. The government has announced a number reforms for agriculture and industrial sectors, especially for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) for larger absorption of labour force through increasing the output base.

Full text
Abstract:
Until 1820, India accounted for one-sixth or more of world output. But under British rule and in the wake of the Industrial Revolution, its economy was eclipsed. Today, though, India stands on the cusp of reclaiming its lost glory. During the fifteen years ending in 2017/18, India’s economy grew 7.7 percent in real rupees and 9.9 percent in real dollars. Today its GDP stands at $2.6 trillion. Even if it were to grow at only 8 percent in real dollars in the coming decade, GDP would reach $7.2 trillion by 2030/31, placing the country in third place in the global GDP rankings. But, as the experiences of all successful developing countries show, sustained growth at a rate of 8 percent or higher requires a policy framework that leads to greater outward orientation, urbanization, and expansion of labor-intensive manufacturing. With concerted policy reform, such transformation is within India’s grasp.

Abstract:
The chapter describes the rapid growth of Chinese manufacturing since 1979, and its increasing share of global industrial output. The chapter analyses the factors that have made the manufacturing sector so competitive internationally, considering the role of wages and productivity, economies of scale and scope, the exchange rate and government subsidies. It highlights several characteristics of China’s manufactured exports, including the significant role played by foreign firms, the high levels of import content (although this has been declining over time), and technological upgrading. These characteristics reflect the integration of China into a regional production network in East Asia. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the ways in which China’s expansion has helped reduce the prices of manufactured goods and has affected the manufacturing production and exports of other countries.

Abstract:
Africa is undergoing a rapid urban transition and is set to be the fastest urbanizing region in the coming decades. This shift has profound implications for achieving the continental and global targets for inclusive growth and transformation. Theory and global experience show that urbanization and structural transformation are closely linked—but less so in Africa. Urbanization in many African countries has not been driven by improving agricultural productivity. Indeed, most countries are urbanizing rapidly amid declining or stagnant industrial output and low agricultural productivity. The infrastructure development agenda has to make cities more productive and liveable yet with great reliance on the provision of sizable resources. However, matching the investment agenda to the goals of urbanization is a complex task, encompassing regional, national, urban, and rural dimensions which together determine the quality of the urbanization process. Institutional reforms should be undertaken to positively drive urbanization in Africa.

Abstract:
As is known, there are various economies on the Eurasian continent area, which differ from each other by structure, potential and growth performance. Region's development depends on those economies growth and relationship between them. Viewed from this perspective, it’s become actual for Kyrgyzstan to research and evaluate the importance of manufacturing industry contribution to the economy. Given article aimed to study the reached stage in the process of manufacturing industry development, the position in the economy and economic policy tools, recommendations that will bring solutions to the identified problems. Research based on input-output analysis and as basic data used input-output tables prepared for the year 2005 and 2008 by the National Statistics Committee of Kyrgyz Republic. In the paper calculated the linkages among the industrial sector, direct and indirect sectoral demands, defining key sector for Kyrgyzstan’s Economy and explained sectoral analysis of production structure. For a better assessment of manufacturing industry, in paper discussed its structure, properties, dynamic aspects of change. The results are as follows: manufacturing industry inadequate in the economy and externally dependent; economy-wide inter-sectoral interaction is weak; manufacture of coke, refined petroleum products; manufacture of chemical products; manufacture of other non-metallic mineral products; manufacture fabricated metal products; manufacture of machinery and equipment calculated as key sectors. Also they are Kyrgyzstan's economy locomotive for economic growth among the other sectors. Therefore, realization of investments will stimulate the production capacity increase of manufacturing industry, strengthening of intersectoral relationships and stable macro-economic planning are important for achieve economic growth.

Abstract:
The present work focuses on the modeling of the thermal system composed of several modules, in which the general model of the system is built, which includes all its components in operation. The environment collected data in real time of the growth and decrease (temperature) curve of a soldering iron tool, under aspects of PWM variation - Pulse Width Modulation - of the signal. It is used as a representative model of device in industrial welding, in which it has similarities in key aspects of behavior. Through analysis and software assistance, the function of transferring the general plan was obtained, which showed an acceptable level of correspondence (86.04%) in non-linear systems. Based on the model discovered, a PItype controller - Proportional Integral - was designed, paying attention to the need for a low-level overshoot signal (6.08%) in order to obtain a response to the rapid stabilization step, rare in thermal systems. The PI was developed in order to generate an output in DC format (Duty Cycle format), since the raw data of the system were collected by varying this indicator at regular intervals of time. After the tests carried out in simulation, results were obtained that confirm that the developed control system is applicable and responds appropriately, being able to be optimized for applications.,

Abstract:
Recovery of industrial waste heat is significant to both energy saving and emission reduction. In the present paper, two types of supercritical CO2 Rankine cycles with and without internal heat exchanger (IHX) are integrated for analyzing the performance of low and medium temperature industrial heat recovery. Cycles were simulated with Aspen software, by which the influences of the initial temperature, initial pressure and temperature of cooling water were observed. The results indicate that cycle efficiency and net output work increase with growth of initial temperature, yet they fell as temperature of cooling water ramps down for the two types of cycle. For a given initial temperature, the cycle efficiency and net output work have maximum values under various initial pressures. This can be attributed to the power consumption of CO2 pump, which goes up significantly with increase of initial pressure. The performances of supercritical CO2 Rankine cycles with and without IHX utilizing four typical industrial heat sources at low and medium temperature were analyzed, which were the heat of non-concentrating solar collector, the exhaust gas heat of a 600MW coal fired plant, the exhaust gas heat of a CFB boiler and the exhaust gas heat of industrial furnace of a cement plant. The optimal cycle efficiencies range from 7% to 12% without IHX and 9% to 15% with IHX, respectively, under the temperature of heat source varying from 130°C to 200°C.

Abstract:
Accurate, reliable and cost effective design of steel structures in heavy &amp; medium engineering industrial sector plays a key role in the growth of industrial development. Objective is to get awareness about the difficulties faced by engineers / managers for reducing time to minimum level for preparation of drawings and other detailing work. New concept of detailed engineering techniques is introduced, which guides, how to customize design detailing stage and how to overcome (i-e optimize) delays to meet final production targets of the product in an Heavy Duty Engineering company specialize in the manufacturing of huge and massive steel structure frames. Design engineers must understand basic tools, methods, latest techniques which will be used for minimizing cost and time effect in the production of steel structures. Extensive knowledge of AutoCAD, AutoLISP for design and customization technique is required for the production drawing as output for shop floor. For sustainable engineering development, it becomes utmost important to utilize detailed engineering customization technique. This approach mainly governs on theoretical design approach, practical / on-the-job experience and computer aided design techniques. Use of all above approaches can lead to the successful achievement of efficient engineering optimization techniques / procedures. Because of complex and complicated nature of work of steel structures in Heavy Industries, it is essential to customize such work. Therefore it is suggested to use such methods for the mass production of steel structures on time and hence lot of time could be saved in heavy duty steel industries.

Abstract:
Abstract The UK government has committed to a clean growth strategy, whereby it is legally bound to reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% by 2050 compared to levels in 1990. In order to achieve this the UK needs to develop low carbon energy sources for electricity, transportation, domestic and industrial heat, light and power. This, combined with the fact that the UK demand for electricity is likely to double by 2050, poses a significant challenge for the UK. In light of these finding the UK government has invested £250 million into nuclear research and development (R&amp;D), thus recognising the key role that nuclear plays in producing low carbon, clean, safe and reliable energy for the UK both now and into the future. This paper provides an overview of the ongoing activities in the UK within this R&amp;D programme focused on developing a UK forward plan for defining the long term requirements for the design codes and standards for small modular reactors (SMRs) and generation (Gen) IV reactors (also including advanced modular reactors). The project is being undertaken by Wood Nuclear and National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). In order to ensure a complete UK perspective is captured, an advisory board has been established with experts in this field, from academia, industry and also national laboratories. Discussions with all parties produced a series of items to be addressed in order for current Design Codes and Standards to be applicable for SMR and Gen IV reactors. This paper summarises these activities and key findings.
