Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Topic "The Multidimensional Synergy Measures to Achieve Sustainable Regional Socio-Economic Development" aims to explore the intricate interplay between socio-economic factors and regional sustainability, with a particular focus on the integration of economic development, environmental stewardship, and social well-being. This multidisciplinary topic seeks to unite research that examines how coordinated measures can contribute to social progress, tourism development, economic growth, agricultural sustainability, and the enhancement of quality of life through innovative policies, technological advancements, and community engagement, etc.

The goal of this Topic is to bring together contributions from social sciences, economics, urban science, regional economy, and transition studies to address the following key issues:

  • The use of comprehensive measures to mitigate adverse environmental impacts and promote sustainable socio-economic development;
  • Synergistically advancing carbon reduction, pollution control, green expansion, and economic growth; The role of emerging tools, such as green technology innovation and green finance, in driving socio-economic progress;
  • The use of digital–green fusion tools in monitoring and improving socio-economic practices;
  • Innovations in production and consumption patterns to tackle ecological issues and ensure environmental sustainability;
  • Balancing urban ecological wellbeing and ecosystem services;
  • The synergy between cultural values and tourism growth;
  • The synergy between economic growth and agricultural development;
  • Institutional, political, and regulatory frameworks that support sustainable socio-economic transition.

This Topic invites researchers from various disciplines to offer systematic insights into future trends and challenges in the field of regional socio-economic development. Papers exploring innovative systematic approaches to promote sustainable socio-economic development, as well as those providing systematic examples of best practices from different regions, will be particularly welcomed.

The “dual carbon” goal has become a major national strategy, an inherent requirement for high-quality economic development. As a crucial indicator of measuring sustainable development capabilities, ecological welfare performance has emerged as a core tool for enhancing human welfare, achieving sustainable development, advancing ecological civilization construction, and promoting green development. This study focuses on the “dual carbon” goal appeal, clarifies the concept connotation of ecological welfare performance, assesses the research progress of ecological welfare performance, deeply analyzes the internal relationship between the “dual carbon” goal and ecological welfare performance, builds a research framework for ecological welfare performance, and points out the marginal contribution, research prospects, and shortcomings of ecological welfare performance research under the “dual carbon” goal. The findings are as follows: (1) Research on ecological welfare performance has shifted from a single dimension to a multi-dimensional and multi-level comprehensive consideration, involving multiple disciplines. Literature research focuses on four aspects, namely, the connotation and representation of welfare, the interaction between ecosystems and welfare, ecological welfare performance research, and “dual carbon” target and ecological welfare performance research. (2) From the perspective of research hotspots and historical evolution, most scholars pay more and more attention to empirical research and application-oriented research, and it is still necessary to constantly explore new theoretical frameworks and methodologies in the future to better understand the changing rules and driving mechanisms of ecological welfare performance. (3) From the perspective of the ecological welfare performance research framework, an in-depth analysis of the relationship between natural ecological consumption, economic growth, and welfare is carried out. Based on the change in research paradigm, a two-stage ecological welfare performance evaluation framework is constructed to promote the realization of the “dual carbon” goal and the continuous optimization of ecological welfare performance, so as to provide a reference basis for the scientific assessment of sustainable development capacity.

The inclusive and environmentally sustainable transformation of economic growth is a crucial indicator for the high-quality development of urban areas. In this perspective, this paper explores the connection between digital inclusive finance and inclusive green growth in 270 Chinese cities from 2011 to 2021. The study used a panel dataset, individual fixed-effects models, and multiple mediation models to analyze the results. The study findings reveal that digital inclusive finance effectively stimulates regional inclusive green growth and enhances positive transmission mainly by improving green technology innovation, increasing entrepreneurship levels, and promoting industrial structure upgrading, of which environmental-friendly technology innovation channels constitute the main contributor. The effects of regions, administrative hierarchy of cities, financial marketization, policy support, and environmental regulation are analyzed in heterogeneity analysis. To ensure the robustness of baseline results, this study utilized two-stage least squares (2-SLS) and difference in difference (DID) approaches. Moreover, this study offers valuable insights into the environmental implications of digital financial inclusion in emerging economies. Full article
