Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of economic agents, such as the amount of government expenditure on the environment, households, manufacturing industry, and shipping activities; on environmental degradation in Indonesia. Research design, data, and methodology: This study is conducted with 264 observations from panel data of 33 provinces during 2010-2017. Environmental degradation is measured by using the environmental quality index collected from Indonesian Ministry of Forestry and Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. Three testing models are used to test the panel data, namely Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM). Results: The research findings show that the amount of government expenditure on the environment, households, and shipping activities have a negative and significant effects on environmental degradation, while the number of manufacturing industry has positive and significant effect on environmental degradation. Unlike the previous studies, the result also shows that government expenditure on environmental has a positive and significant effect on environmental quality index. Conclusion: It can be concluded that even though Indonesian government spent a low budget on environment, their environmental regulation has succeeded both in reducing environmental degradation and increasing the environmental quality as indicated by Indonesian environmental quality index.

This study found that introduction of environmental systems and increased environmental investment have a major impact on K company's sustainable development. The analysis indicated that the environmental investment variable has a close relationship with production quantity, sales, and the amount of sludge treatment variables in K company. However, all other variables including the cost of disinfection chemicals, and the expenditure of sludge treatment have no relationship with the environmental investment variable. Additionally, short-term results show that the company's environmental expenditure variable is conversely related with the environmental performance variable.

In this study, we attempt to provide empirical evidence for the effect of the expenditure of the local governments on the air quality management. Based on the statistical data, the concentrations of air pollutants including $PM_{10}$, $O_3$, and $NO_2$ were analyzed in accordance with local characteristics of the local governments' environmental expenditure, demographic characteristics, and economic and human resources between 2008 and 2014. The results showed that government spending is estimated to have insignificant impact on air pollutants concentration. All these results are consistently corroborated from the analysis based on different alternative measure of local governments' expenditure (budget composition and measure of expenditure residuals). Subsequently, this study implies that environmental expenditures of local governments have not been effectively enforced to enhance the air quality of the region in Korea.

본 논문은 환경세의 이중배당가설과 환경세 부과대상 재화의 지출탄력성에 대한 연구이다. 본 연구의 결론은 환경세 정책의 효율성 개선효과가 환경세 부과대상 재화의 지출탄력성에만 의존하는 것이 아니라, 경제 내에 존재하는 다른 재화, 즉 환경세가 부과되지 않는 재화와의 상대적인 지출탄력성에도 영향을 받을 수 있음을 지적하고 있다. 본 연구결과는 향후 우리나라 환경세 정책추진에 있어 다음과 같은 시사점을 제시한다. 환경세 정책은 환경의 질적 개선을 최우선 목표로 추진됨이 바람직하지만, 만약 조세체계 전반에 걸친 효율성 개선까지 염두에 둔다면 부과대상 재화의 지출탄력성까지 함께 고려하는 것이 바람직하다는 점이다. 구체적으로 환경세 부과대상 재화를 선정함에 있어서 가급적 지출탄력성이 낮은 재화위주로 구성하는 것이 효율성 개선효과를 극대화할 수 있는 방안이다.

Studies were carried out at the National Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, India to determine the effect of feeding chopped paddy straw (Oryza sativa) on the energy expenditure in crossbred cattle. Four crossbred cattle male, aged 5-6 years and weighing about 450 kg were used for this study. Three experimental trials, one each for the feeding of un-chopped paddy straw offered ad libitum (UCA), chopped paddy straw fed at restricted level (CR) and chopped paddy straw offered ad libitum (CA) were conducted. The quantity of un-chopped paddy straw consumed during UCA was assumed as the voluntary intake by the cattle and the same quantity was offered after chopping during CR. Each trial comprised of 21 d preliminary feeding period and 5 d of observation recording period. Expired gas was collected in Douglas bags using a face-mask and three-way valve at 6 hourly intervals i.e., at 09.30, 15.30, 21.30, and 03.30 h throughout the observation period. Expired gas and ambient air inspired by the animals were analyzed for the oxygen content through paramagnetic oxygen analyzer. Energy expenditure (EE) by the animals was calculated by determining the volume of oxygen consumed per minute (STP) and multiplying by 4.825. Paddy straw used in all the three trials contained (g/kg DM) 90.0 CP, 786 OM, 700 NDF, 489 ADF, 357 Cellulose and 60.0 ADL. Metabolizable energy (ME) was 6.9 MJ/kg DM. Dry matter intake (DMI) both in UCA and CR was about 6.8 kg, except that it was chopped in CR. Chopping has resulted in 32% improvement (9 kg) in DMI of CA as compared to that of UCA. Although ME intake was similar in UCA and CR (47.2 MJ/day), energy expenditure (EE) was higher in UCA (23.3 MJ) when compared to that of CR (19.5 MJ). The ME intake (63.3 MJ) as well as EE (27.1 MJ) was highest in CA. Energy expenditure when expressed as MJ/kg DMI was 3.48, 2.90 and 3.12; whereas as per cent of ME intake it was 50, 41 and 44 in UCA, CR and CA respectively. Our study has unequivocally confirmed that chopping of poor quality roughages like paddy straw has definite advantages not only in terms of improving the intake by decreasing the time taken for ingestion but also in reducing the energy cost of eating.

We review the research literature on relationship between environmental regulation and industrial development in three aspects of environmental regulation and investment, environmental regulation and efficiency, environmental regulation and trade. Indeed, the linkage between environmental regulation and material consumption of industrial system is absent. Environmental regulation is measured as the expenditure share for industrial pollutants abatement, and effluent charge intensity. Using panel-level data from 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China, we build correlation models between material consumption and environmental regulation, results show that: (1) there are significant quadratic function relationship between material consumption and environmental regulation. And there is the fact that inflection point exists. (2) On basis of inflection points, we make two remarkable reflections. Firstly, the inflection points are the most important scale to judge reasonability and performance of regulations. Secondly, a Pareto improvement may occur when the regulations achieve a certain target. (3) Both intensities of industrial pollutants abatement expenditure and effluent charge have not yet achieved the expected target in most regions of mainland China at present. And most of regions of material consumption decreasing are distributed in western China. Main reasons lie in the impacts of industrial features as well as the regulations.

Efforts on the continued increase of local government's fiscal spending related to improving the residential environment are desirable to counter the declining phenomenon of urban decline. At the same time, however, it is also important to know how to operate limited finances more efficiently to improve the residential environment. This study aims to contribute to the rational allocation of fiscal expenditure and the creation of productive results for the improvement of the settlement environment. To this end, this study analyzed the efficiency of financial expenditure related to the improvement of the residential environment in 225 local governments nationwide. The relationship between financial expenditure and residential environmental performance was also measured and the CCR, BCC and SBM models were used to measure efficiency. The analysis showed that most local governments need to scale back their fiscal spending related to improving the government environment. In addition, it was required to prepare feasible spending plans by bench-marking the processes of residential environment improvement projects in areas such as Haman-gun, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and Seocho-gu, which are considered to be under efficient operation.

정부회계제도가 현금주의 단식부기 방식의 예산회계에서 발생주의 복식부기 방식의 재무회계로 변화함에 따라 사회기반시설이 회계상의 자산으로 인식되면서 이에 따른 회계처리 방법 또한 기존 예산회계와는 다른 접근들이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 재무회계에서는 사회기반시설물의 자산 취득 후 사용하는 과정에서 발생하는 수선, 보수 등 유지관리에 관련된 지출을 자산으로 인식하는 자본적 지출과 비용으로 인식하는 경상적 지출로 구분하도록 하고 있으나, 이를 실무에 적용함에 있어 어려움이 있는 현실이며, 이로 인해 유지관리에 투입되는 지출을 대부분 비용(경상적 지출)으로 회계처리 되고 있는 실정이다. 이는 현재 재무회계 운영규정에서 제시하고 있는 구분 기준이 일반적인 모든 유형자산을 대상으로 하고 있어, 각각의 사회기반시설 물별 유지관리 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하수관거시설을 대상으로 하여 유지관리시 투입되는 지출을 경상적 지출과 자본적 지출로 명확히 구분하여 회계처리 할 수 있도록 업무 분석을 통한 회계처리 기준을 정립하였으며, 실제 지방자치단체 사례에 적용하여 자산의 변화에 따른 재무정보의 변화를 비교 분석하였다. 사례 분석 결과 분석 대상인 S시의 하수관거 자산이 약 700억원 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 기존의 경상적 지출로 회계처리하던 수선유지비를 유지관리 업무 특성별로 자본적 지출과 경상적 지출로 구분함에 따라 자산의 가치가 증가하는 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 회계처리 방안의 적용을 통해 보다 명확한 하수관거 자산의 가치를 인식할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study examines factors determining contemporary Chinese households' food away from home (FAFH) expenditures using Becker's household production theory. Data came from the 2000 urban household survey in Guangdong Province, collected by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) of China. It was revealed that the contemporary urban Chinese wives also substitute their household work by time-saving product, FAFH, as Becker's household production theory postulated. This suggests the important role of time-value (opportunity cost) in determining household FAFH expenditure across the cultures.
