Research on the Relationship between Business Cycle and Industrial Fluctuations in Northeast China Based on Complete Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition with Adaptive Noise by Yinan Zhou, Guofeng Gu, Qiushuang Ren

“…The results obtained are as follows: (1) In the three northeastern provinces of China, economic fluctuations were almost free from the influence of the primary industry, most affected by the secondary industry, and gradually influenced by the tertiary industry after the 21st century. (2) Regarding the short-term business cycle of each province, economic development was the most stable when the market and government participated in the development of the secondary industry simultaneously. (3) The midterm business cycle of Jilin Province was affected by the investment of equipment in secondary and tertiary industries, while that of Liaoning Province was affected by the investment of equipment in the secondary industry. (4) Investment in the equipment of the secondary industry and the construction of secondary and tertiary industries was the key to maintaining the stability of long-term business cycle in Heilongjiang Province, and that in the construction of secondary and tertiary industries was the key to maintaining the stability of long-term business cycles in Jilin and Liaoning Provinces.…”

Towards a Stunting-Free Gunungsitoli City: Policy Evaluation and Challenges of the Economic Approach by Eldad Chalis Natha Nias Ndruru, Asep Sumaryana, Heru Nurasa

“…Based on the results of the research using evaluation indicators that believe in effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, leveling, responsiveness, and accuracy, the implementation has not been optimal or running well based on several criteria, namely the budget from the APBD for policies and programs to accelerate stunting reduction is still limited, access to stunting sufferers is still constrained considering the demographic conditions of the region spread across various regions, the existence of complex socialization So that the delivery of information is not effective and the implementation time of policies and programs is not too much so that the implementation of policies does not run well and the short implementation time makes programs and policies not optimal in terms of their implementation and economic challenges in handling stunting are met with poverty and limited access to nutrition, dependence on external resources, and economic impacts do not last long This stunting results in a decrease in productivity labor force, the burden of regional health increased, and poverty arose. …”

The Impact of Policy Quantification on Rural Spatial Development in Suburbs: A Case Study of Dalian’s Main Urban Area by Jiaxiang Wang, Zehao Cao, Tian Chen, Chunguang Hu

“…Granger causality analysis confirmed the strong influence of policy interventions, with the first-order lag VAR model offering reliable predictions of short- and long-term policy effects. Initially, the construction index was entirely self-driven (100%), but its reliance on self-influence waned to 69.8% over time, highlighting a transition toward greater policy-driven development.…”
