Internet Tradition and Tourism Development: A Causality Analysis on BRI Listed Economies

SSRN Electronic Journal (2019)

Obaid Ur Rehman Xiaoxing Liu

The study aims to explain the economic impact of Internet implication in tourism sector by taking sample of mega project listed countries (which provide big pitch to boost tourism business). Our work find the volatility cause of tourism revenue at country i, by examining the inbound tourist expenditures as a factor of technological infrastructure. We deploy data ranging from 1990 to 2017 and uses error correction model as representative of Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) model after addressing diagnostic tests (for data reliability concern). We found long- and short-run association between tourism expenditure and information and communication technology (ICT) proxies in case of developed economies, while only short-run association in underdeveloped countries. The startling scenario about underdeveloped economies are also confirmed by one-way causation in our analysis. After sensitive analysis at each slot, the study concludes that tourism revenue is streaming low across those boundaries where tourists are suffered by paying more due to technological inaccessibility and its underdeveloped infrastructure. The suffered economies are recommended to upgrade their ICT sector to facilitate inbound tourist.

Making Future‐Proofing Design Decision under Uncertainty

INCOSE International Symposium (2018)

Obaid Ur Rehman Michael J. Ryan

Abstract The future‐proofing methodology is based on the fact that system design must focus on more than the acquisition of the system and must consider the whole‐of‐lifecycle issues early in system design to develop an efficient and long‐lasting sustainable design. For a sustainable design, the process such as design for sustainable future‐proofing (DfSFP) requires that the design must consider the impact of the design on system's sustainability element. Therefore impact on the system must be assessed by the designer which may require feedback from the stakeholders and system users. However, detailed design data and useful feedback from the stakeholders not always available during the conceptual stage. Thus decision for future‐proofing a system on the basis of early design and user data must consider the associated uncertainties. In this paper, we present a novel future‐proof design selection methodology which incorporates the data uncertainties and fuzziness in a systematic and an effective way. The methodology is based on the analytic hierarchy process which is modified to include a stochastic process to address data uncertainties and fuzziness in the future‐proofing decision‐making process. The proposed methodology provides a useful tool for the future‐proof system designer to visualize the impact of uncertainty and fuzziness in the data to make an effective future‐proofing decision. In order to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the proposed approach, an example of the construction of the future‐proof house is presented. In the example, future‐proofing solutions are analyzed and the most sustainable solution is chosen.

On the Dynamics of Design of Future‐proof Systems

INCOSE International Symposium (2015)

Obaid Ur Rehman Michael J. Ryan

Abstract The ability to cope with uncertainty in the operation of a system is accounted for through appropriate bounds on the parameters set for the non‐functional requirements for the system. The ability to cater for changes throughout a long life, perhaps in a number of life cycles, is generally referred to as future‐proofing—that is, taking account in the current design of some aspect of the future use of the system such that, when the anticipated need does arise, the system will be prepared to some degree. The principal difference between design for uncertainty in non‐functional requirements and for uncertainty in future use is the time at which the system must be able to account for the uncertainty: on deployment for non‐functional requirements and at some time in the future for future‐proof design. This paper provides a brief preliminary investigation into the dynamics of design for uncertainty in non‐functional requirements (using robustness as an example) and for uncertainty in future‐proof design. Based on a simple model of system design and a definition of sufficiency in design and the notion of minimum sufficiency, we use design for robustness as an example of the design considerations required to address uncertainty in the non‐functional requirements of a system. Having addressed design for uncertainty required immediately on deployment of the system, we then show how design for future‐proofing of a system accommodates changes in future operations and support.

Nexus between Industrial Growth, Energy Consumption and Environmental Deterioration: OBOR Challenges and Prospects to China

2017 4th International Conference on Industrial Economics System and Industrial Security Engineering (IEIS) (2018)

Abdul Rauf Xiaoxing Liu Waqas Amin Obaid Ur Rehman Muddassar Sarfraz

The introduction of One Belt One Road Initiative (OBOR) projects intensively triggered the industrial revolt in China which can greatly degrade its environment by carbon emission in the impending time. This study empirically assesses the long run and short run ties of such industrial revolution with CO2 emission and energy demand from 1971 to 2016. The study reliable its outcomes by applying diagnostics unit root, serial correlation, autocorrelation and normality tests. By applying ARDL bound test, the study reveals the positive and significant long-run linkages between industrial growth, services sector of the economy and energy consumption with CO2 emission, however economic development negatively impacted the emissions in the China. Granger causality reveals the unidirectional causation of energy consumption, industrial progression, and economic growth to CO2 emission correspondingly. It is intimated that the Chinese rulers need to address industrial waste to avoid environmental degradation, harmful pollutant stuff caused by CO2 emission. This step will guarantee Chinese sustainable growth in the long run and will produce a very effective outcome from OBOR project. Furthermore, the policy implication available for China as well as OBOR nations, to cater the environmental issues by making strict policies for industries and focus on renewable energy sources that help to lack the CO2 emission.
