| Abstract: |
The paper presents an overview of recent topical research on global, energy,
health & medical, and tourism economics, and global software. We have
interpreted “global” in the title of the Journal of Reviews on Global
Economics to cover contributions that have a global impact on economics,
thereby making it “global economics”. In this sense, the paper is concerned
with papers on global, energy, health & medical, and tourism economics, as
well as global software algorithms that have global economic impacts. The
topics covered include re-opening the Silk Road to transform Chinese trade,
education and skill mismatches, education policy for migrant children, code of
practice and indicators for quality management of official statistics,
projections of energy use and carbon emissions, multi-fuel allocation for
power generation using genetic algorithms, optimal active energy loss with
feeder routing and renewable energy for smart grid distribution, demand for
narcotics with policy implications, access to maternal and child health
services of migrant workers, computer technology to improve medical
information, heritage tourism, ecotourism impacts on the economy, society and
environment, taxi drivers’ cross-cultural communication problems and
challenges, hybrid knowledge discovery system based on items and tags, game
development platform to improve advanced programming skills, quadratic
approximation of the newsvendor problem with imperfect quality, classification
of workflow management systems for emails, academic search engine for
personalized rankings, creative and learning processes using game-based
activities, personal software process with automatic requirements traceability
to support start-ups, and comparing statistical and data mining techniques for
enrichment ontology with instances. |
