Improving Performance of Agro-ecological Zone (AEZ) Modeling by cross-scale Model Coupling: An Application to Japonica Rice Production in Northeast China (2014)
Journal Article
Tian, Z., Zhong, H., Sun, L., Fischer, G., van Velthuizen, H., & Liang, Z. (2014). Improving Performance of Agro-ecological Zone (AEZ) Modeling by cross-scale Model Coupling: An Application to Japonica Rice Production in Northeast China. Ecological Modelling, 290, 155-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2013.11.020

The challenges to food security posed by climate change require unprecedented efforts and ability to simulate and predict the interactions between crop growth dynamics, and the environment and crop management at various scales. This calls for model c... Read More about Improving Performance of Agro-ecological Zone (AEZ) Modeling by cross-scale Model Coupling: An Application to Japonica Rice Production in Northeast China.

Entrepreneurship across Time and Space: Empirical Evidence from Korea (2014)
Journal Article
Hong, E., Lee, I. H., Sun, L., & Harrison, R. (2015). Entrepreneurship across Time and Space: Empirical Evidence from Korea. Small Business Economics, 44(3), 705-719. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11187-014-9613-1

This paper investigates the temporal and spatial dynamics of business start-up activities and their determinants. It integrates three perspectives in explaining regional variations of start-ups: (i) spatial heterogeneity that characterizes regional d...

The Economic Gains and Environmental Losses of US Consumption: A World-Systems and Input-Output Approach (2014)
Journal Article
Prell, C., Feng, K., Sun, L., Geores, M., & Hubacek, K. (2014). The Economic Gains and Environmental Losses of US Consumption: A World-Systems and Input-Output Approach. Social Forces, 93(1), 405-428. https://doi.org/10.1093/sf/sou048

Although research has shown that countries’ world-systems position can predict levels of pollution and wealth, there has been little research looking at how consumption in the core triggers both pollution and wealth elsewhere in the world-economy. In... Read More about The Economic Gains and Environmental Losses of US Consumption: A World-Systems and Input-Output Approach.

Agroclimatic Conditions in China under Climate Change Scenarios Projected from Regional Climate Models (2014)
Journal Article
Tian, Z., Yang, X., Sun, L., Fischer, G., Liang, Z., & Pan, J. (2014). Agroclimatic Conditions in China under Climate Change Scenarios Projected from Regional Climate Models. International Journal of Climatology, 34(9), 2988-3000. https://doi.org/10.1002/joc.3892

The recent warming trends have led to rising concerns on how the changing climate has been altering and will continue to alter agroclimatic conditions in China. In this study, high resolution climate scenarios from regional climate models (RCMs) are...

Virtual Scarce Water in China (2014)
Journal Article
Feng, K., Hubacek, K., Pfister, S., Yu, Y., & Sun, L. (2014). Virtual Scarce Water in China. Environmental Science & Technology, 48(14), 7704-7713. https://doi.org/10.1021/es500502q

Water footprints and virtual water flows have been promoted as important indicators to characterize human-induced
water consumption. However, environmental impacts associated
with water consumption are largely neglected in these analyses. Incorpora... Read More about Virtual Scarce Water in China.

A Generalized Framework for Endogenous Timing in Duopoly Games and an Application to Price-Quantity Competition (2014)
Journal Article
Zhu, Q., Wu, X., & Sun, L. (2014). A Generalized Framework for Endogenous Timing in Duopoly Games and an Application to Price-Quantity Competition. Journal of Economics, 112(2), 137-164. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00712-013-0347-3

This paper extends the analysis of duopoly market by distinguishing two types of competition: (i) the basic form of competition where each firm is unrestricted in its choice of price and quantity and (ii) the non-basic form of competition where firms...

Consumption-based CO2 accounting of China's megacities: the case of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing (2014)
Journal Article
Feng, K., Hubacek, K., Sun, L., & Liu, Z. (2014). Consumption-based CO2 accounting of China's megacities: the case of Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing. Ecological Indicators, 47, 26-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.2014.04.045

China has experienced rapid urbanization in the last three decades, with more than half of the population living in cities since 2012. The extent of urban production and urban lifestyles has become one of the main drivers for China’s CO2 emissions. T...
