Impact of adoption of water-saving technologies on irrigation water use efficiency at the farm household level by ZHANG Yi, LYU Mingyang, HAN Yijun

“…Our results also revealed a ‘Matthew effect’: farmers with already high IWUE benefited more from technology adoption, achieving notable improvements, whereas those with low baseline IWUE experienced relatively smaller gains. Furthermore, higher agricultural water prices were associated with more efficient water use, indicating that economic incentives play a crucial role. …”

Coupling and coordination evaluation of digital economy and green development efficiency in eight urban agglomerations in China by Yue Liu

“…Furthermore, by applying multi-index evaluation methods, the EBM-DEA model based on Pearson correlation coefficient, and the coupling coordination degree model, the systematic evaluation and relationship analysis of the digital economy and green development efficiency were carried out. The research results are as follows: (1) The overall coupling coordination degree of two systems in the eight major urban agglomerations in China shows a fluctuating growth trend, achieving a transformation from near imbalance to good coordination, but there are obvious phased characteristics and regional imbalances. (2) In the eight urban agglomerations, the overall Gini coefficient of the coupling coordination degree of these two systems shows a fluctuating downward trend, presenting a “rising–falling” inverted “V” shape feature, and the spatial differences gradually narrow. (3) The stability of the coupling coordination degree at all levels in the eight urban agglomerations is relatively high, with obvious solidification phenomena. …”
