Full textAbstract:
The natural resource commodity price paradox is a phenomenon that has been observed in the past. The price of a commodity constantly and unpredictably fluctuates. This phenomenon makes it difficult for businesses to plan for future needs and investments. This study examined the relationship between natural resource commodity prices, renewable energy demand, economic growth, high-technology exports, inbound FDI, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Pakistan, using the 1975 to 2020 time period. The robust least squares (RLS) regression results showed that natural resource commodity prices and economic growth increased GHG emissions. In contrast, there was a negative relationship between renewable energy demand (and high-tech exports) and GHG emissions in Pakistan. The results verified the resource price curse hypothesis and growth-associated emissions in a country. The Granger causality estimates showed the unidirectional relationship of renewable energy consumption with GHG emissions, natural resource pricing, and inbound FDI. Further, high-technology exports Granger caused GHG emissions and GDP per capita. The results verified the country’s growth-led green energy sources and inbound FDI, resource pricing-led inbound FDI, and GHG emissions-led resource pricing. The impulse response function suggested that resource commodity pricing and the country’s economic growth will likely increase GHG emissions in the next ten years. At the same time, green energy demand, technological advancements, and sustainable investment in cleaner production would help decrease GHG emissions over time. The variance decomposition analysis suggested that technology advancements would likely have greater variance shock on GHG emissions, followed by commodity resource pricing and green energy demand. The resource price paradox hampers economic and environmental outcomes, which need to be resolved through advancement in cleaner production technologies, adoption of green energy demand, and stabilization of resource commodity pricing that helps to move forward toward the sustainable development of the country.

Environmental valuation represents a critical component of modern environmental policy and natural resource management, providing quantitative frameworks for assessing the economic value of environmental goods and services that are typically not traded in markets. This paper examines the theoretical foundations, methodological approaches, and practical applications of environmental valuation techniques in policy and planning contexts. Through a comprehensive review of valuation methods including revealed preference, stated preference, and benefit transfer approaches, this study analyzes how environmental valuation can inform decision-making processes and improve resource allocation efficiency. The analysis reveals that while environmental valuation faces significant methodological challenges and limitations, it provides essential tools for incorporating environmental considerations into economic analysis and policy development. Evidence from applications across water resources, air quality, biodiversity conservation, and climate change demonstrates both the potential and constraints of valuation approaches. The paper concludes that effective use of environmental valuation in policy requires understanding methodological limitations, ensuring stakeholder participation, and integrating valuation results with other decision-making criteria. Recommendations include developing standardized valuation protocols, building institutional capacity, and enhancing the integration of environmental values into national accounting systems.

Abstract The authors discuss the peculiarities of price formation for forest land as a renewable plant natural resource. Forest plots are regarded as a forest resource that can be used in two ways: as a natural object and as a source of wood raw materials. The absolute forest rent for forest areas with standing trees, adjusted for economic, environmental, and social factors, serves as the pricing basis. The authors propose creating differentiated regional price lists for forest plots and methodological approaches to pricing forest plots with different types of forest use to substantiate the forest tax and tax base.

Abstract This paper focuses on modelling environment changes in a way that allows to price weather derivatives in a flexible and efficient way. Applications and importance of climate and weather contracts extends beyond financial markets and hedging as they can be used as complementary tools for risk assessment. In addition, option-based approach toward resource management can offer very special insights on rare-events and allow to reuse derivative pricing methods to improve natural resources management. To demonstrate this general concept, we use Monte Carlo and stochastic modelling of temperatures to evaluate weather options. Research results are accompanied by R and Python code.

Transfer pricing is a crucial aspect of international business, especially for natural resource companies in Indonesia. It involves monitoring compliance with tax regulations, managing long-term risks, given the complexity and high value of the commodities they handle. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyse the direct effect of bonus mechanism and tunneling incentive on transfer pricing decision. While the indirect effect of this study, by placing tax minimisation as a mediating variable to explain the effect of bonus mechanism and tunneling incentive on transfer pricing decision. The data used in this study comes from the Annual Report of natural resource sector companies listed on IDX during the 2020-2022 period. Total of 185 companies using purposive sampling method, resulting in a sample of 132 data analysed using WarpPLS 8.0. The results showed that bonus mechanism and tax minimsation has no significant relationship with transfer pricing, while Tunneling incentive has significant affect transfer pricing. There is a significant relationship between bonus mechanism and tunneling incentive with tax minimisation practices. However, the mediating variable of tax minimisation can not explain the relationship between bonus mechanism and tunneling incentive with transfer pricing. The practical implication of this study is that aggressive transfer pricing practices must be balanced with compliance with tax regulations to avoid long-term risks such as fines and sanctions. This encourages companies to evaluate and adjust the design of incentives and internal controls, and implement strict regulations with independent internal audit and external auditor oversight to prevent harmful tunnelling practices.

Shortening of available volumes of a natural resource can become an engine for the development of new technologies, which could help using it more effectively. The article considers the case of Israel - the state that encounters sweet water deficit. Accessible average volume of this resource is in some sense random and hard to predict. Ordinary pricing mechanisms are difficult to implement due to political and social considerations. A range of measures has made private firms use an already existing intellectual resource to develop R&D aiming to make water use more effective. This can be viewed as a process of efficient substituting a deficit natural resource with a non-deficit intellectual one.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, we applied gross ecosystem product (GEP) theory in a case study to analyze and explain the natural resource asset value and ecosystem service value of forest resources in Jiaokou County, Shanxi Province, Northern China, in 2018. GEP refers to the total value of various final material products and services provided by ecosystems. In this paper, six service functions of a forest system, including water conservation, soil conservation, carbon fixation and oxygen release, forest nutrients, purification of atmospheric environment, and biodiversity, are valued by three calculation methods: the alternative cost method, market value method, and control cost method. The study revealed the following: (1) There is a parallel relationship between the value of natural resource assets and the value of ecosystem services. GEP includes the market value of natural resource assets, but it is mostly the value of ecosystem services. (2) The measurement of the physical quantity of forest ecosystem services depends on parameter data, and the monetary calculation often has no mature pricing basis, which leads to the large scale and uncertainty surrounding the evaluation results of ecosystem services. (3) The ecosystem service value and natural resource asset value have different practical significance, as well as alternate theoretical bases. The value of natural resource assets can be used as the asset valuation basis of economic transactions, which plays a role in macroeconomic management. The value of ecosystem services can be used as the basis of ecological compensation, providing information for the preparation of the balance sheet of natural resources.

Full textAbstract:
In areas where markets for natural water are lacking, information on its marginal value can be an important tool for proper pricing to achieve efficient allocation of the resource. This article investigates the marginal value of natural water (rainwater used as a proxy) in agricultural crop production in the suburbs of Mekelle City, Ethiopia, by econometrically estimating individual value functions for three selected crops: wheat, barley, and teff (a staple food crop in Ethiopia). Results show that, on average, an additional 0.30 birr (birr = Ethiopian currency: 1 euro ≈ 23 birr) worth of output is generated for each extra cubic meter of rainwater used. This result provides the marginal value (shadow price) of water in crop production at a certain point of the water cycle. It thus provides useful policy information for efficiently pricing water resources based on full-cost recovery, implying that the current tap water prices should be increased at least by 0.30 birr/m3 if the scarcity value of natural water is to be accounted for. The marginal value of natural water turned out to be the highest in teff production, suggesting that producing this crop would be the most water-efficient decision in the area.

This research aims to test and analyze the direct influence of tax minimization strategies, tunneling incentives, and bonus mechanisms on transfer pricing decisions. Meanwhile, the indirect influence involves the audit committee as a moderating factor, to test its influence on transfer pricing practices. The data used in this research comes from the Annual Reports of natural resource sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2021-2022 period. A total of 185 companies used the purposive sampling method, producing a sample of 104 data which was analyzed using WarpPLS 8.0. Based on the research results, tax minimization has a direct influence on transfer pricing, while the bonus mechanism has no influence on transfer pricing and the audit committee cannot moderate the influence of both on transfer pricing. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of companies paying attention to their tax and transfer pricing policies as part of a general risk management and compliance strategy to prevent potential abuse or tax compliance risks.

Research aims: This study seeks to prove empirical evidence regarding the moderating effect of bonus mechanisms on fiscal optimization and tunnelling incentives on the Transfer Pricing relationship.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study uses a quantitative approach with a hypothesis-testing design. The data used is natural resource sector companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in the 2021 – 2023 period. The final sample consists of 152 observations that meet the selection criteria.Research findings: The results showed that the Tunneling Incentive has an influence on Transfer Pricing, and Fiscal Optimization does not influence Transfer Pricing. The Bonus Mechanism does not strengthen the Effect of the Tunneling Incentive on Transfer Pricing. The Bonus Mechanism enhances the effect of fiscal optimization on transfer pricing. This research shows that the ownership factor (Tunneling Incentive) plays an important role in Transfer Pricing decisions rather than Tax strategy (Fiscal Optimization). In addition, the Bonus Mechanism moderate the relationship between Fiscal Optimization and Transfer Pricing. However, the Bonus Mechanism does not moderate the relationship between Tunneling Incentive and Transfer pricing. Theoretical contribution/ Originality: The originality of this research is based on the moderating results of the bonus mechanism, which strengthens the effect of Fiscal Optimization on transfer pricing compared to previous studies.Practitioner/Policy implications: The practical implications of this study suggest that companies need to be more transparent in Transfer Pricing policies, regulators should increase supervision against Tunneling practices, and investors and auditors should be more wary of companies with concentrated ownership structures.Research limitations/Implications: The limitation of this research is the research scope, which is just in the resource sector used in this research. The study does not account for potential changes in tax regulations or corporate governance laws that could impact the results over time.

The subject of the research in this paper is the pricing system in the forest complex; essences and classifications of approaches to pricing are considered and analyzed. The purpose of the study is to analyze the currently existing pricing system efficiency in the forest industry, improve the system for assessing forest stands using the rental approach when harvesting timber in a leased forested area. These are the main ideas of the research. Pricing is one of the most important components of the forest industry, since the role of resource price formation is not only to provide the enterprise with revenue, but should also contribute to the effective implementation of the state policy for the forest fund reproduction. This proves the need to develop a methodology that solves the issue of natural resources efficient use. A computational experiment on calculating the cost of producing round timber when renting forests for the purpose of harvesting timber makes it possible to identify rent that contributes to a more rational use of the forest fund. In the field of forestry, various approaches to pricing are used such as comparative, costly, profitable, systemic, mathematical and rental ones. Pricing in the forest industry implies the presence of three economic components necessary for the implementation of an effective state policy, namely the social component, reproduction and innovation. A computational experiment on calculating the cost of a standing crop on a forest plot located on the territory of the Yambatorsky district forestry of the Mari-Turek forestry in the Mari El Republic showed that the natural rent makes up 27,6 %, and taking into account the standard profit, the rent totals 39,7 %. The relative value of the minimum payment rates for standing crop for the trial forest area is 1,5 % of the market value of the assortments. The result of the study is to develop measures aimed at improving the efficiency of the pricing system. The proposed approach to calculating the cost of standing crop as a whole will allow taking into account the main rent-forming factors and increasing the efficiency of forest management from the point of view of the state policy, as well as establishing equal economic opportunities for forest users.

Full textAbstract:
Body size is a key parameter influencing demographic characteristics of fish populations as well as market value of landed catch. Yet in bioeconomic modelling, body size is often an overlooked biological and economic parameter. Here we evaluate how size-dependent pricing influences optimal harvest strategies in a model parameterized for two pelagic fisheries, those targeting Atlantic herring ( Clupea harengus ) and Atlantic mackerel ( Scomber scombrus ), in Norway. In our model, positively size-dependent pricing clearly shifts optimal harvest strategies towards lower harvest rates and higher mean body size of caught fish. The results are relatively insensitive to biological (e.g., natural mortality) and economic details of the model (e.g., discount rate or demand function). These findings show that size-dependent pricing influences optimal harvest strategies aiming at maximum economic yield and, hence, requires more attention in resource economics and in fisheries management.

This paper assessed the impact of Audit fees and Audit tenure on the Financial Reporting of quoted natural resource firms in Nigeria. Five (5) cited natural resource firms in Nigeria were selected to achieve this objective. The study used secondary data which is from the annual reports of the established sampled natural resource firms for ten (10) financial years (2010-2019).Financial reporting is used as the study's dependent variable and was regressed using audit fees alongside Audit tenure. In contrast, the firm size is an independent variable using the standard least regression method (OLS) to test the hypothesis. Thestudy's outcomes indicated that audit fee has a positive and significant relationship with financial reporting quality, while audit tenure also has a positive but insignificant relationship with financial reporting quality, Firm size, is only significantly associated with financial reporting quality. The study found that the higher audit fees have the likelihood of compromising auditors' independence, thereby leading to lower financial reporting quality. The study recommend that regulators of the audit practice to establish measures that can be used to regulates and monitor the pricing process of the audit so that to ensure a balance thatwould eliminate over-charging and or under-charging of the audit fees which evidence reveals could impair the independence of the auditor, thereby impact financial reporting quality of an entity.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the increase in recreational demands, the significance of protected areas and forests with recreational potential in forests increased with the demands of nature tourism, which in turn provided new income sources to the forestry industry. In the current study, the economic values of the Uzungöl Nature Park’s lake view, an international tourist destination, were estimated using the hedonic pricing method. In the study, 188 questionnaires were conducted with 89 businesses, and the hedonic price function (HPF) was determined based on the study data collected from the businesses in Uzungöl Nature Park. It was estimated that the mean lake view in-room accommodation price for the hotels in Uzungöl Nature Park was USD 207.38 and the lake causes an increase of $2.8 per square meter and $144.67 in total on the room price of the hotels. The study findings demonstrated that the lake view was a desirable quality for hotel rooms, which is reflected in the prices in Uzungöl. The significant contribution of the lake view to room prices would support the planning and management of protected areas that are usually rich in natural resources. Determining the economic value of the lake view will enable business owners operating in the region or those planning to establish new businesses to make more informed pricing strategies. It will also strengthen hotel owners’ marketing campaigns and enable them to think more rationally about new investments (such as adding rooms or services). Business owners will be able to optimize their rooms based on lake views in order to offer more lake-view rooms to customers. Determining the economic value of the lake view will raise awareness about the protection of natural areas. By investing in eco-friendly and sustainable practices, hotel owners will contribute to the conservation of natural resources. The value estimates determined in the present study would also contribute to the employment of total forest value calculations and resource accounting systems.

This article presents proposals and methodological developments by the authors-scientists for the practical implementation of the parametric dimension of economic recovery following military operations, as proposed by the Cabinet of Ukraine and the National Council. The aim of the research is to improve the existing method of estimating the value of mineral resources through a system of public management using parametric pricing based on commodity science and marketing principles. The authors emphasize the importance of theoretical research in the field of subsoil use, particularly in assessing the cost of mineral resources throughout the technological cycle. It has been proven that the research of the characteristics of minerals should be carried out in a complex: geological, price-forming and commodity-market research. Only then these studies will not have an abstract value, but practical economic significance, including the calculation of marketing, economic and financial indicators of deposits that will be exploited, their future economic efficiency. Furthermore, the article highlights the need to enhance the theory of public management in the context of Ukraine's industrial reconstruction, primarily in terms of parametric pricing methods on the theoretical basis of commodity science and marketing. The article outlines the necessity of improving public management theory by employing the parametric dimension for Ukraine's industrial reconstruction. It emphasizes the importance of parametric pricing methods and proposes a new management paradigm for subsurface use, which integrates scientific research and geological exploration activities on smart-basis. This process is called "smart neoindustrialization" by the authors. The article provides detailed explanations of the geological product, consumer properties, consumer value, and value, all considered within the context of commodity production in the extractive industry. It clarifies several commodification definitions from the theory of mineral resources research, using natural gas and uranium as examples. The movement of minerals through all phases of social production is examined by experts in economic geology, commodity science, marketing, and public administration. It is argued that minerals can be seen as future goods, undergoing transformation from their natural state to the finished product. The article highlights the importance of public administration, smart-neo industrialization, mineral resources, economic geology, geological products, parametric pricing methods, costs, and commodity science in the effective management and evaluation of mineral resources. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the proposed mathematical formalized description of the price calculation for a parametric series of geological entities that differ in their ability to satisfy consumer needs due to the fact that they are not identical in physical and chemical composition.

The paper proves the necessity of revising the methodology of housing and communal services pricing in connection with the implementation of the city development concept within the framework of the green agenda and the strategies and programs development aimed at ecologically important problems resolution, clean technologies development, natural resource conservation, and the increase in the population living standards as well. It is shown that the creation of ecologically sustainable urban systems requires not only the development and implementation of innovative technologies and attraction of financial resources but also the assessment of their consequences, such as changes in the volumes of consumed housing and communal services and tariffs for them. Adjustments to the methodology of housing and communal services pricing should ensure the process of providing quality services at affordable prices for consumers. The main results of the study demonstrate that modern cities should utilize innovative solutions aimed at changing the approach to operating and managing housing and communal services to meet the requirements of ecological safety and sustainability. Implementing the recommendations to improve the ecological situation and sustainability of housing and communal services can become a key factor in creating a peaceful, successful, and efficient urban environment.

Full textAbstract:
Although the Circular Economy (CE) has made remarkable technological progress by offering a wide range of alternative engineering solutions, an obstacle for its large-scale commercialization is nested in the adoption of those business and financial models that accurately depict the value generated from resource recovery. Recovering a resource from a waste matrix conserves natural reserves in situ by reducing demand for virgin resources, as well as conserving environmental carrying capacities by reducing waste discharges. The standard business model for resource recovery is Industrial Symbiosis (IS), where industries organize in clusters and allocate the process of waste matrices to achieve the recovery of a valuable resource at an optimal cost. Our work develops a coherent microeconomic architecture of Chemical Leasing (Ch.L.) contracts within the analytical framework of the Sherwood Plot (SP) for recovering a Value-Added Compound (VAC) from a wastewater matrix. The SP depicts the relationship between the VAC’s dilution in the wastewater matrix and its cost of recovery. ChL is engineered on the SP as a financial contract, motivating industrial synergies for delivering the VAC at the target dilution level at the market’s minimum cost and with mutual profits. In this context, we develop a ChL market typology where information completeness on which industry is most cost-efficient in recovering a VAC at every dilution level determines market dominance via a Kullback–Leibler Divergence (DKL) metric. In turn, we model how payoffs are allocated between industries via three ChL contract pricing systems, their profitability limits, and their fitting potential by market type. Finally, we discuss the emerging applications of ChL financial engineering in relation to three vital pillars of resource recovery and natural capital conservation.

Subject. I consider the price policy of the State in conditions of domination of extractive industries, natural monopolies, and financial uncertainty in the economy. Objectives. The purpose is to provide a modern concept of price as a market instrument, where prices act as objects of management, financial and economic regulators, and tools to manage the economy. Methods. I employ methods of economic analysis and synthesis, comparison, scientific abstraction, and other methods of scientific knowledge. Results. The paper critically examines the State policy in the field of pricing, and determines the specifics of price regulation for natural monopolies’ products, for the purpose of effective functioning of competitive markets, decline in prices, and influence of ruble exchange rate dynamics on wages, pensions, benefits and payments, as well as on relationships between domestic and world prices under financial uncertainty of commodity markets. Conclusions. The main goal of the State pricing policy should be the development of an economic mechanism for its implementation as a means of direct increase in the Russian economy efficiency, rather than a focus on domestic resource-based industries as drivers of its development. Government regulation and financial impact on prices, as well as other forms of interference with market pricing, should encourage and expand healthy competition in the form of subsidies and subventions to new, but yet weak producers in the monopolized sector; subsidize substitutes for products manufactured by monopolists; subsidize the costs of import-substituting and export-oriented enterprises, etc.

Full textAbstract:
Australia is poised to imminently become the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer. The prices realised for Australia’s natural gas, whether for export LNG or domestic consumption, dictate the level of revenues and, ultimately, the profitability and returns, of the gas producers. A rational producer will seek to maximise the price or return for the gas it supplies. A portion of a producer’s remuneration for its gas is then shared with the community via taxes and royalties. In Australia, these imposts are triggered at different taxing points, hence necessitating a determination of what the gas is worth at each point. Typically, for royalties, it is the wellhead value; for the petroleum resource rent tax, it is either the value at the domestic gas processing plant outlet or the value of feed gas just before liquefaction; and, for income tax, it is the proceeds or consideration for the gas when sold or exported. Wherever related party transactions occur, the price must be set at arm’s length and reflect market realism. Where gas must be valued at a point devoid of an actual sale, finding a suitable comparable price can be challenging. In such circumstances, pricing options include the cost-plus, the netback and the profit-split methods. Each has its own merits and limitations, and incorporates elements that are susceptible to disputation. Gas producers should consider engaging proactively with the revenue authorities to agree a gas pricing model upfront to mitigate latent tax liabilities if the pricing approach adopted is subsequently challenged.

Full textAbstract:
To assess the impact of sustainable development on social well- being, it is necessary to emphasize its objective and subjective factors. The complex of objective factors of well-being of modern society, in all sectors of which highly productive production of tangible and intangible goods dominates, is organically connected with the innovative development of environmentally-friendly technologies, the international diffusion of innovations in the field of “green economy”. Accordingly, the objective factors of well-being in the system of sustainable development include, firstly, reproductive ones, such as the availability of new technologies of the “green economy” and the frequency of their replacement, the productivity of resource-saving industries, the inter-sectoral expansion of the replacement of non-renewable resources, and government support for environmental entrepreneurship. Secondly, here we include the prevailing mechanisms of factor distribution and redistribution of income – the formation of natural and intellectual rents, the pricing of natural resources and the return on investment in the production of the “green economy”. Finally, thirdly, the important objective factors of social well-being in the system of sustainable development are those institutional norms that determine both production and environmental processes in the national economy. The complex result of these processes development is the environmental well-being.

Human demands on water resources are increasing unsustainably at a time when the effects of climate change on the aquatic environment are worsening and, unfortunately, the world is not on the right track to achieve sustainable water and sanitation management. Water is increasingly demanded to feed growing populations, meet growing energy needs, provide services in expanding urban areas, and meet the needs of industry. To improve water security in the context of growing demand, water scarcity, increasing uncertainty, intensifying extreme weather events and fragmentation challenges, countries will need to strengthen institutional frameworks, manage information and develop infrastructure (both natural and man-made). Institutional instruments such as legal and regulatory frameworks, water pricing and incentives to improve water allocation, regulation and conservation are important. It is also necessary to have information systems for monitoring and tracking this resource, making decisions under uncertainty, conducting network analysis, making forecasts and issuing warnings related to hydrometeorology.

Full textAbstract:
The need to increase the price of non-green, carbon-emitting goods, as well as the application of new environmental taxes and fees to help solving the global climate crisis, has been actively discussed. However, price is not only a strong impetus for market development, but it can also restrain growth. The price level and population purchasing power belong to the key indexes that define the market capacities in different countries. This paper aims to investigate the impact of income inequality, including price levels and purchasing power, on environmental performance in different countries. The research method is based on RapidMiner’s machine learning programs, applying three modeling algorithms: correlation, clustering, and decision trees with a static index database of more than 150 countries around the world. The results obtained partially confirm the conclusions made by other researchers studying the Environmental Kuznets concept (EKC) effects. In particular, it was found that an important factor influencing the efficiency of the environment in the country’s ecosystem is the level of population’s income. The analysis also shows that environmental performance is strongly dependent on domestic price levels. This may support the hypothesis that the cost of green goods reflects a high benchmark for natural resource costs. However, further research is needed, including such directions as sources of financing for the implementation of circular projects, as well as the associated economic and environmental effects.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable management of water resources is imperative in the Western Balkan (WB) region, due to the seasonal, spatial and quality distribution of these resources. This paper analyzed water consumption and associated relationships between the economic sectors in Macedonia in 2005, based on input–output (IO) analysis. Using an environmentally extended IO framework, water consumption was investigated by developing several indicators. Disaggregation of the agriculture sector into 11 sub-sectors, combined with backward and forward linkage analysis, allowed us to identify rice, fruits, grapes and wine, other crop and cattle production as key water-consuming sub-sectors. The developed indicators revealed a high proportion of direct water consumption in agriculture and some other non-agricultural sectors such as mining and quarrying, other mining and quarrying products, food products and beverages as well as electrical machinery, which imposed significant pressure on natural water resources in Macedonia. Therefore, changes in production technology and specializations in Macedonia toward less water-intensive options are needed to ease the pressure on natural water resources. Extending the existing water pricing policy to capture economic, social and environmental aspects should also be considered. Moreover, the development and construction of water accounts and the disaggregation procedure have valuable implications for the WB countries. Applications elsewhere following this Macedonian example can provide a meaningful understanding of the role of water and interdependencies at regional level and increase awareness of the water resource availability at trans-boundary scale.

Full textAbstract:
As a core corridor of the Pan-Asian Railway, the full operation of the China-Laos Railway has restructured the logistics network of the Indochina Peninsula and reshaped Yunnan’s tourism economic landscape, driving the integrated development of cross-border cultural tourism. The railway has significantly enhanced transportation accessibility along Yunnan’s route, stimulated short-distance tourism demand, and spurred development in traditionally non-hotspot regions, while facing challenges such as insufficient resource integration and ambiguous branding. This study employs qualitative research methods to examine the current tourism conditions and the optimization of marketing strategies for cities along the Yunnan section of the China-Laos Railway. Findings reveal that the railway has profoundly restructured Yunnan’s tourism economic landscape, forming an integrated tourism economic belt that combines natural ecology, cultural heritage, and cross-border resources. Cities along the route, including Kunming, Yuxi, Pu’er, and Xishuangbanna, have experienced varying degrees of tourism development opportunities. The proposed 4P marketing strategies include: a product strategy centered on "high-speed rail + culture" thematic routes; a pricing strategy balancing supply-demand dynamics through dynamic pricing and bundled offers; a channel strategy emphasizing dual-channel coordination between digital platforms and physical service outlets; and a promotion strategy focused on content marketing and precision targeting. These strategies aim to transform the China-Laos Railway from a transportation artery into a "cross-regional cultural tourism economic corridor," injecting new momentum into regional sustainable development.

Full textAbstract:
Anaerobic digestion (AD) converts animal and agricultural waste into biogas, offering significant benefits for waste management and renewable energy production. It enhances energy security, reduces dependence on imports, and mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. Despite its potential, AD faces challenges that require improved policies, investments, and training. Technological advancements, such as nanotechnology, can further increase biogas production, while byproducts like biofertilizer contribute to farm profitability. However, pathogens in animal waste (AW), such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella, pose public health risks through contamination of water, food, and surfaces. Efficient management of livestock waste is essential to reduce environmental impacts, and the proper pricing of natural resources, including land, water, and landfills, is crucial for sustainability. The benefits of biogas include energy generation, waste reduction, pathogen elimination, and the conversion of organic waste into high-quality fertilizer, which supports agricultural productivity. However, challenges remain, such as smallscale technology, impurities, temperature sensitivity, and limited applicability in urban areas. To improve economic feasibility, the fermentation process can be conducted in controlled environments using digestion tanks. This study explores strategies for effective biomass resource management, focusing on optimizing biogas production and its by-product utilization for sustainable energy development.

In this article we developed scientific and applied foundations of commercialization of the nature-resource potential of anthropogenic objects, on theexample of exhausted mines. It is determined that the category of “anthropogenic object” can be considered in a narrow-applied sense, as specific anthropogenic objects to ensure the target needs, and in a broad theoretical sense, meaning everything that is created and changed by human influence, that is the objects of both artificial and natural origin. It was determined that problems of commercialization of the natural-resource potential of anthropogenic objects are most often considered by researchers for specific objects, without having complex methodological coverage from the point of view of combining environmental, technical, economic and managerial components. When studying the substantiation of the scientific base, the authors confirmed the feasibility of the commercialization of natural-resource potential of anthropogenic objects on the example of a number of theoretical scientific studies in reclamation, reconstruction, recreation, remediation, restoration of biological productivity and economic value of land disturbed by economic activity. The considered examples of exhausted mines in the 21st century in the USA, Canada, Germany, Romania, and Poland indicate a wide range of opportunities for their commercialization. The study of the potential for commercialization of exhausted mines in the post-Soviet countries testified to the underused reserves for the commercialization of their nature-resource potential and their high potential for further development. The authors proposed the identification of anthropogenic objects on the basic livelihood spheres of society. There were identified the main system (natural, biological, technical, economic, social,managerial) and structural (subjects, trends, threats, risks, problems, challenges) factors of diagnosing the state of an anthropogenic object. A set of measures has been developed for commercialization of an anthropogenic object in functional and production activities, product policy, financial and investment spheres, pricing and sales policies, promotion, management and determination of property rights. Recommendations were provided on optimizing the management decision-making process based on a set of positivistic development principles, methods, and management functions. The study allows international organizations, state and local authorities, territorial communities, owners and potential investors to see new opportunities and make mutually beneficial decisions on the rational use of the nature-resource potential of anthropogenic objects.

Closed-loop supply chains have attracted more attention by researchers and practitioners due to strong government regulations, environmental issues, social responsibilities and natural resource constraints over past few years. This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming model to design a closed-loop supply chain network and optimizing pricing policies under random disruption. Reusing the returned products is applied as a resilience strategy to cope with the waste of energy and improving supply efficiency. Moreover, it is necessary to find the optimal prices for both final and returned products. Therefore, the model is formulated based on demand function and it maximizes total supply chain’s profit. Finally, its application is explored through using the real data of an industrial company in glass industry.

Full textAbstract:
Natural gas is crucial for energy generation, industrial production, and residential heating in the United States. The demand is difficult to forecast due to economic fluctuations, energy price instability, and seasonal temperature variations. Time series analysis and linear regression may fail to account for the nonlinear interactions in gas demand data, potentially resulting in inaccuracies. This work addresses the necessity for precise gas demand projections, which are essential for energy planning and resource management. Natural gas is crucial for electricity production, industrial processes, and residential heating; nevertheless, demand is influenced by weather conditions, economic activity, and energy pricing. Conventional forecasting models are inadequate for capturing these intricate processes, necessitating the employment of more sophisticated predictive methodologies. This research employs decision trees, linear regression, gradient boosting, and random forests to examine data from 10 significant US states spanning 2000 to 2019. The random forest model accurately anticipated demand patterns, achieving an R-squared of 99.67% and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 34.53. These findings demonstrate that machine learning can elucidate nonlinear relationships in gas demand data. The study provides a framework for improved demand forecasting, aiding energy providers and legislators in optimising resource allocation, increasing cost-efficiency, and promoting environmental sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
Revenue management in the hospitality industry has undergone a profound transformation with the integration of advanced data analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven optimization strategies. Traditional revenue management relied heavily on historical booking patterns, seasonal trends, and manual adjustments, which often lacked the flexibility to respond to sudden market fluctuations and evolving customer preferences. In contrast, modern revenue management incorporates real-time data processing, predictive analytics, and AI-powered decision-making to dynamically optimize pricing, demand forecasting, and customer segmentation. This study employs a case study approach, analyzing seven hospitality businesses, including hotel chains, boutique hotels, and resorts, to examine the effectiveness of ML-driven dynamic pricing, big data-enhanced demand forecasting, natural language processing (NLP)-based sentiment analysis, and cloud-integrated revenue management systems. The findings reveal that businesses leveraging AI-powered pricing models and big data analytics achieved an average revenue increase of 20%, with 22% improvement in profit margins, and a 16% reduction in operational costs through the integration of IoT-based predictive maintenance and resource optimization. NLP-powered sentiment analysis played a crucial role in refining revenue strategies by analyzing customer feedback and online reviews, resulting in a 14% increase in occupancy rates, as businesses adjusted pricing and promotional efforts based on guest sentiment. The adoption of cloud computing and edge analytics significantly enhanced real-time decision-making, allowing hotels to integrate data from multiple sources, process large volumes of information efficiently, and implement dynamic pricing strategies based on live market trends, leading to a 28% increase in direct bookings. These findings align with and extend existing research by demonstrating that AI, big data, and real-time analytics provide a measurable competitive advantage in modern hospitality revenue management. The study concludes that hospitality businesses that transition from traditional, static revenue management models to AI-powered, data-driven frameworks achieve greater financial sustainability, improved operational efficiency, enhanced guest experiences, and increased profitability, reinforcing the necessity for continuous investment in AI and big data analytics for long-term revenue growth and market competitiveness.

The power sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, making the decarbonization of power grids a critical step toward achieving the commitments outlined in the Paris Agreement. In the BIMSTEC region—comprising India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Sri Lanka—countries face significant challenges due to the uneven distribution of energy resources and rapidly increasing energy demands. This study aims to explore strategies for decarbonizing the power grids of these member states through energy cooperation and the adoption of advanced technologies such as clean hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS). A spatially disaggregated capacity expansion model, utilizing IBM CPLEX Optimization Studio, is developed to minimize total power system costs up to 2050. The model incorporates various policy scenarios to identify optimal pathways. Simulation results indicate that renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro, solar PV, and nuclear will dominate the energy mix, substantially reducing reliance on coal and natural gas under carbon regulation policies. Furthermore, hydrogen storage technology emerges as a crucial solution for addressing resource deficits and maintaining grid stability over both short and long-time horizons. The study also determines appropriate carbon tax rates per tonne of CO2 to support emission reduction targets across different scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
The use of relatively small-scale distributed electric power generation sources is one of the key focus areas in the development of global industry and regional power generation. By integrating distributed generation sources into their on-site energy infrastructure, industrial consumers gain new characteristics and possibilities as entities of the power system that do not only consume power, but in fact can flexibly generate and deliver electricity to local and even centralized grids. This type of entity is called a distributed energy resource system with demand response (Russian: ‘active energy complex’). The purpose of this study is to lay the methodological foundation for the use of distributed energy resource systems with demand response in industrial sites under existing gas and power market conditions and for ensuring the synchronization of parameters that is necessary for managing complex energy consumption. This article provides an empirical study of the principles of the natural gas pricing under the demand volatility of regional markets and the Russian Mercantile Exchange. The article outlines the key drivers, as identified by the authors, that impact gas consumption by a distributed energy resource system, including demand characteristics, limitations and capacity of the gas network and the mode of gas consumption by an industrial enterprise and its generator. Accounting for all of these factors is essential for effective management and proper operational adjustment of a distributed energy resource system with demand response. The result of the study is a proprietary model and a tool for the management of distributed energy resource systems in integration with the gas demand management, which analyze the internal and external parameters of the industrial entity’s operations and its distributed energy resource system, as well as factors existing in the integrated distributed energy system where the consumer is able to buy natural gas in various market segments. The proprietary tool of distributed energy resource system management is based on the centralized control system, which combines performance analytics, operational scheduling of production and the distributed energy resource system, price planning for the wholesale and retail power markets, regional gas markets and exchange, monitoring all elements of the system, and assessment of different active energy management scenarios under various external and internal conditions impacting production and energy demand. Our proprietary tool has been successfully tested in a typical industrial site and was reported to deliver a significant electricity and gas cost-saving effect, which amounted to an 18 percent reduction in the total energy costs of the company, or more than USD 2.6 million per year. The resulting saving effect can recoup the costs of investing in a distributed energy resource system, including construction and installation of the local grid and automation infrastructure, and can be obtained in any country of the world.

This study employs the hedonic pricing method and a rich spatial and temporal dataset from two counties in Washington, USA to determine the effect of the 2009 Nisqually Restoration project (NRP) on housing prices in adjacent communities. The NRP restored 308 hectares of wetlands via dike removal in the Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge (NNWR), leading to improvements in salmon and bird abundance and recreational opportunities. We find that the ecological improvements made by the NRP increased the value of homes within 0.5 mile of the refuge by $37,631; homes 0.5 to 1 mile by $10,489; and homes 1 to 1.5 miles by $31,186. Our findings are consistent with previous wetland hedonic price analyses and may be useful inputs in natural resource management and policy decision-making.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid growth of wireless application results in an increase in demand for spectrum resource and communication energy. In this paper, we firstly introduce a novel energy saving strategy in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) and then propose an appropriate pricing policy for secondary user (SU) packets. We analyze the behavior of data packets in a discrete-time single-server priority queue under multiple-vacation discipline. With the help of a Quasi-Birth-Death (QBD) process model, we obtain the joint distribution for the number of SU packets and the state of base station (BS) via the Matrix-Geometric Solution method. We assess the average latency of SU packets and the energy saving ratio of system. According to a natural reward-cost structure, we study the individually optimal behavior and the socially optimal behavior of the energy saving strategy and use an optimization algorithm based on standard particle swarm optimization (SPSO) method to search the socially optimal arrival rate of SU packets. By comparing the individually optimal behavior and the socially optimal behavior, we impose an appropriate admission fee to SU packets. Finally, we present numerical results to show the impacts of system parameters on the system performance and the pricing policy.

Full textAbstract:
Freshwater is fundamental for all aspects of human well-being and sustainable development. The supply of freshwater resource largely depends on the natural water cycle, leading to extremely unequal distribution over the world. This uneven distribution and increasing freshwater demand results in spatial and temporal physical freshwater shortage. By discussing the limitations of desalination techniques and the shortcomings of existing pathways for freshwater transfer including water transfer projects, bottled water market, and virtual water trade, we suggest that international freshwater trade as an additional pathway is necessary. The analysis of the cost structure of freshwater production and transportation and the hypothetical examples between potential exporting and importing countries show the feasibility of international freshwater trade. The establishment of a global freshwater market is confronted with six challenges, namely, natural sustainability, ecological safety, opinions of stakeholders, market access mechanism, pricing mechanism, and infrastructure system. We conclude that a global freshwater market is expected to make contributions to achieving SDG 6 by mitigating spatial and temporal freshwater scarcity and by resolving transboundary freshwater conflicts and managing local freshwater consumptions.

Full textAbstract:
The increasing human demand for natural resources is leading to critical resource depletion. This depletion is exacerbated by exceeding the Earth’s biological regeneration rate, threatening ecosystems’ ability to renew biomass. This ecological challenge hinders the potential for simultaneous economic, social, and environmental progress. This study investigates the complex relationships between the USA’s per capita income, energy efficiency innovations, environmental taxation, political stability, and its biocapacity. Using annual data from 1990 to 2024, the paper employs a comprehensive causality testing framework that accounts for the nonlinear nature of the data, as asymmetric effects are observed. This framework includes the Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lags model (Q-ARDL), the Wald test for parameter consistency, and the Granger-causality in Quantiles test (GC-Q), enabling the estimation of unique parameter vectors for each quantile. A key finding reveals that the impact of per capita GDP on biocapacity is significantly larger than that of other regulatory mechanisms. This suggests that carbon pricing and energy efficiency technologies require widespread implementation to offset the environmental impact of economic growth. The quantile regression reveals complex short-run impacts on biocapacity with persistent positive effects from its lag, contrasting with the diminishing negative influence of GDP and positive influence of energy efficiency at higher quantiles, while long-run analysis shows a consistent negative impact of GDP and varying positive or nonlinear effects of other factors. Granger-causality tests indicate significant unidirectional positive effects from energy efficiency and political stability to biocapacity, a bidirectional relationship for environmental taxes in upper quantiles and GDP across all quantiles. The associated methodological and policy implications aim to assist policymakers in achieving a better balance between the benefits and costs of natural resource use in the USA, promoting sustainable development.

The utilization of cassava in cake production has become a significant innovation in addressing economic challenges in Batuhoring Village, Batang Toru Subdistrict. Cassava, as an abundant crop in the area, offers significant economic potential. This research explores the potential of cassava in cake production, identifies challenges in management, and formulates promotional and marketing strategies for cassava-based cake products. The results indicate that cassava has a stable raw material availability, high nutritional value, and a variety of processed cake products. Challenges involve the complexity of management and the need for strong marketing. Marketing strategies involve social media and exhibitions, emphasizing competitive pricing and understanding consumer targets. The utilization of cassava in cake production is expected to increase community economic income, support the agricultural sector, and create blessings through biblical values of hard work, sharing, and wise natural resource management.

Purpose This study aimed to optimize the trade-in pricing strategy. To leverage market share, many sellers adopt trade-in strategy for advance selling, Customers can return their old products at a discount price when they buy new products. This can help increase the market share and decrease natural resource consumption. Design/Methodology/Approach We consider a seller who sells new-generation products over two periods: advance selling and regular selling. Based on the rational expectation equilibrium, we adopt dynamic programming to construct a two-period pricing model with three different trade-in strategies–only in period 2, in both periods, and not at all–explaining the trade-in strategy as a promotion tool used by a monopolist to discriminate for advance selling between new and old customers. Findings The results suggest that the optimal price is determined by the proportion of old customers, discount factor and product innovation level. Whether and when to give a trade-in rebate to old customers depends on these parameters. The seller’s choice of optimal trade-in strategy depends on the threshold value of the new customer demand and trade-in demand. Originality/Value Most existing literature focuses on advance selling strategies and trade-in strategies. To the best of our knowledge, this is a pioneering study that adopts trade-in as part of the advance selling strategy.

Open spaces, including waterfront areas, are critical to coastal communities and provide many benefits, including recreation opportunities, economic development, ecological benefits, and other ecosystem services. However, it is not clear how values of waterfront ecosystem services vary across geographical areas which prevents development and adoption of site-specific natural resource conservation plans and suitable long-term land management strategies. This study estimated the monetary value of distance to different waterfront types in coastal counties of Mississippi and Alabama (U.S.) using a geographically weighted regression (GWR) approach as an extension to a traditional hedonic pricing method (HPM). In addition, the study utilized publicly available data from the U.S. Census Bureau instead of certified rolls of county property assessors and Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data which can be costly and difficult to obtain. Residents valued most waterfront types which was reflected in greater assessed prices for houses in proximity to these waterfronts. However, the value of ecosystem services associated with waterfronts differed geospatially. The marginal implicit prices ranged from −$6343 to $6773 per km depending on a waterfront type. These estimates will be useful to city developers, land-use planners, and other stakeholders to make more informed and balanced decisions related to natural resource preservation associated with coastal areas, land-use planning, and zoning. In addition, information from this study can be used in developing healthy living environments where local economy can benefit from increased property tax revenues associated with waterfronts and their ecosystem services.

The ecology and all of its components are suffering greatly as a result of the unchecked speed of development. At this rate, environmental degradation will have an impact on humanity and associated fields. In order to prevent the consequences of expansion from pushing the environment into a situation from which it is incapable of recovering, there should be ongoing, earnest efforts made towards sustainable development. The three pillars of ecodevelopment are the environment, humanity, and economy. A stable growth rate is necessary to attain a just balance between these pillars. Since agriculture employs the majority of the population, it also has an impact on the balance of the ecosystem. Because every unplanned step towards progress puts us back in the environmental front, we must thus be mindful of the boundaries of environmental challenges in order to achieve equitable economic growth. The hope for sustainable development lies in decreased deforestation, greater food security, conservative agricultural practices, the use of biopesticides, and prudent use of natural resources. To be effective, environmental policy probably needs to employ a variety of tools, each addressing a distinct aspect of the issue and attempting to minimise redundancies and pointless regulations. Appropriately pricing environmental inputs facilitates sustainable resource provision and use management. Long-term corporate investment in new technology and innovation is encouraged by a consistent and clear environmental policy, which also increases investment certainty. Environmental and economic success are interdependent. Economic activity and advancement depend on the natural environment because it provides the resources needed to produce goods and services and because it processes and absorbs waste and pollution, which are unwanted byproducts. This paper focuses on how environmental assets assist control risks associated with social and economic activities, flood risks, local climate regulation (temperature and air quality), and the availability of clean water and other resources.
