This study aims to assess the impact of circular economy on economic growth. In the process of rapid economic growth, China has been facing with the pressure of insufficient supply of resources and environmental pollution, which makes the development model of circular economy (CE) an imperative transformation. China has carried out two batches of CE pilot cities to promote the construction of ecological economy and change the traditional economic development model, which is employed as a quasi-natural experiment in this study. The effect of this CE policy on the local economic growth is explored using the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method and Difference-in-Differences (DID) model and a panel data of 163 Chinese cities from the year of 2001-2012 has been used. The results show that the growth rate of GDP of the pilot cities decreases significantly but the economic decline gradually recovers as time goes on. In addition, this study further conducts the regional heterogeneity analysis to compare the economic growth of CE pilot cities in three economic zones, i.e., eastern, central and western economic zones, and the sectoral heterogeneity analysis to compare the economic growth of three main industries, i.e., primary, secondary and tertiary industries. Finally, discussion of above results is presented and recommendations for the promotion of urban CE are proposed. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Relative evaluation of probabilistic methods for spatio-temporal wind forecasting

Lars odegaard Bentsen, Narada Dilp Warakagoda, Roy Stenbro, Paal Engelstad

Summary: This study investigates uncertainty modeling in wind power forecasting using different parametric and non-parametric methods. Johnson's SU distribution is found to outperform Gaussian distributions in predicting wind power. This research contributes to the literature by introducing Johnson's SU distribution as a candidate for probabilistic wind forecasting.

Comparison of ethane recovery processes for lean gas based on a coupled model

Xing Liu, Qiuchen Wang, Yunhao Wen, Long Li, Xinfang Zhang, Yi Wang

Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

A novel deep-learning framework for short-term prediction of cooling load in public buildings

Cairong Song, Haidong Yang, Xian-Bing Meng, Pan Yang, Jianyang Cai, Hao Bao, Kangkang Xu

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

The impact of social interaction and information acquisition on the adoption of soil and water conservation technology by farmers: Evidence from the Loess Plateau, China

Zhe Chen, Xiaojing Li, Xianli Xia, Jizhou Zhang

Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
