This research, leveraging data from the National Copyright Administration spanning the period from 2006 to 2024, employs a Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to investigate the interlinkages between the hog futures market and the pricing dynamics of hogs, corn, and soybean meal. The study’s findings indicate that feed costs exert a notable predictive influence on the pricing of hogs. Furthermore, a pronounced interdependence is observed between hog prices and the prices of grains, with the establishment of futures markets amplifying this relationship. This underscores the pivotal role that futures markets play in facilitating price discovery and managing risk within the hog industry’s value chain. The inception of futures markets has not only elevated the efficiency of market information dissemination but also endowed hog producers with a more accurate gauge of market expectations. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics governing the hog industry’s financial landscape.

The economic growth realized under the rugged development mode has led to serious resource consumption and environmental pollution problems, and the traditional high energy consumption and low efficiency development mode is contrary to the international economic background that advocates the concept of green development nowadays, and this kind of economic development mode at the expense of natural resources and the environment makes China’s high-quality development stagnate. And realizing China’s economic development through technological innovation is a strategic tool that China has always used. Low-carbon technological innovation, as the key to achieving the dual-carbon goal, is of great significance for China to realize sustainable development. Based on this background, this paper takes low-carbon technological innovation and measures the efficiency of low-carbon technological innovation in China from 2011 to 2021 through the SBM-Malmquist model with unintended output, to measure the results based on the analysis of the current situation of low-carbon technological innovation in the country and the region, and found that despite the fluctuations in the average annual efficiency value, China’s low-carbon technological innovation as a whole shows an upward trend, but there are large regional differences in China’s low-carbon technological innovation. The research results reflect the problems of low-carbon technological innovation in China, enrich the research results of low-carbon technological innovation, and provide some insights into the realization of sustainable development in China.

Appendix

This section is optional and is for all materials (e.g. advanced technical details) that has been excluded from the main text but remain essential to readers in understanding the manuscripts. This section is not for supplementary figures. Authors are advised to refer to the section on ‘Supplementary figures’ for such submissions.

Figures

Authors should include all figures into the manuscript and submit it as one file in the OJS system. Reference to the “Instructions for Typesetting Manuscript” is strongly encouraged. Figures include photographs, scanned images, graphs, charts and schematic diagrams. Figures submitted should avoid unnecessary decorative effects (e.g. 3D graphs) as well as be minimally processed (e.g. changes in brightness and contrast applied uniformly for the entire figure). It should also be set against a white background. Please remember to label all figures (e.g. axis etc.) and number them (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.) in boldface. Please also add in captions (below the figure) as required and number them (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.) in boldface. The caption should describe the entire figure without citing specific panels, followed by a legend defined as description of each panel. Please identify each panel with uppercase letters in parenthesis (e.g. (A), (B), (C), etc.)

The preferred file formats for any separately submitted figure(s) are TIFF or JPEG. All figures should be legible in print form and of optimal resolution. Optimal resolutions preferred are 300 dots per inch for RBG colored, 600 dots per inch for greyscale and 1200 dots per inch for line art. Although there are no file size limitation imposed, authors are highly encouraged to compress their figures to an ideal size without unduly affecting legibility and resolution of figures. This will also speed up the process of uploading in the submission system if necessary.

Evaluation

The in-house editor takes initiative to assess the suitability of the original submission of the author on the basis of the editorial policy and relevant guidelines.

The Editor-in-Chief (EIC) decides the fitness of the article and whether the topic is within the field of FM.

The associate editors assign the accepted contributions in accordance to their area of expertise and select relevant reviewers from the editorial membership.

Reviewers are required to assess the full paper from the perspective of originality, methodology, demonstration of the results and presentation of the conclusion, contribution to the literature and research, as well as the suitable referencing of pertinent studies.

Post evaluation

After the post-evaluation made by the reviewers, the manuscripts are sent to the associate editors who makes one of the standard suggestions (Accept; Accept with minor revision; or Reject), and then passed to the EIC for final determination.

If EIC recommends minor revisions, a maximum of 7 days is given for the authors to resubmit the revised article.

Open Access Policy

Open Access (OA) makes scholarly research permanently accessible online without restrictions, which can benefit all stakeholders in the scholarly publishing process, including researchers, funders, students, librarians, scholarly societies, publishers, and the public.

Dissemination

The freely available online work can be accessed and shared by anyone in the world. Researchers can even access OA literature outside university without encountering paywalls. Authors can benefit from the public availability of their research to others, which may increase the visibility and usage of their work. Many funding agencies encourage OA since the potential for increased visibility and discoverability promises a greater return on investment.

Cooperative Partners

New connections may be made and new partners may become possible, if researchers other than those you normally work with share access to your research. Thus, paving the way for spin-offs and new research opportunities.

Public Access and Engagement

OA means more opportunities for the community at large and potentially more public participation in research which can help research-dependent professionals outside of academia including health workers, faculty, and lawyers benefit from access to the latest discoveries.

Social Benefits

By publishing open access, a virtuous cycle of scholarly resources can foster social knowledge sharing and innovative creativity.

The pound fell a quarter of a percent to as low as $1.2994 against the dollar after the BBC reported a group of about 50 lawmakers in May’s government had met to discuss how and when they could force her out of her job.

These lawmakers have condemned May’s plans for Britain to remain in a free trade zone for goods with the EU after it leaves the bloc in March, 2019.

 

The pound later recovered to trade flat at $1.3028, while against the euro the British currency was largely unmoved, at 89.010 pence per euro.
