Asymmetric inter-linkages between green technology innovation and consumption-based carbon emissions in BRICS countries using quantile-on-quantile framework

Asif Razzaq et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in BRICS countries, green technology innovation has a significant emission-reducing effect at high emission quantiles, while it is weakly or positively correlated with carbon emissions at low emission quantiles. Conversely, high carbon emissions instigate green innovation across medium to high emission quantiles. The results suggest that when a country has higher emissions levels, green technology innovation can help mitigate carbon emissions.

Nexus between green logistic operations and triple bottom line: evidence from infrastructure-led Chinese outward foreign direct investment in Belt and Road host countries

Hui An et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between green logistics operations and economic, environmental, and social indicators in countries along the Belt and Road initiative. The research findings suggest that Chinese outward foreign direct investment improves the quality and quantity of green logistics operations, high-quality transport infrastructure and logistics services can reduce carbon emissions, and the use of renewable energy resources enhances logistics operation quality. Additionally, higher institutional quality helps mitigate social concerns.

Investigating the asymmetric linkages between infrastructure development, green innovation, and consumption-based material footprint: Novel empirical estimations from highly resource-consuming economies

Asif Razzaq et al.

Summary: Reliable resource consumption measurement is crucial for climate policy, with this study examining the linkages between infrastructure development, green innovation, and consumption-based material footprint in highly material-consuming countries. The study rejects data normality and uses Method of Moments Quantile Regression to handle non-normal data, revealing varying effects of infrastructure development and economic growth on resource consumption across different quantiles. Population shows an inverted-U relationship with material footprint.

Natural resources commodity prices volatility and economic performance: Evidence from China pre and post COVID-19

Qiang Ma et al.

Summary: The study found that in the Covid-19 period, the prices of natural resource commodities in China were more vulnerable than economic performance, but there was a bidirectional causal relationship between them at different frequencies and time periods. The volatility in natural resource commodity prices significantly affected economic performance only in the medium-run according to the frequency domain causality test.

The nexuses between energy investments, technological innovations, emission taxes, and carbon emissions in China

Qiang Ma et al.

Summary: This paper analyzed the impacts of emission taxes, investments in the energy sector, expenditure on research and development, technological innovation, and tertiary sector development on Chinese provincial carbon dioxide emission figures between 1995 and 2019. The study found that provincial growth and tertiary sector development exacerbated carbon dioxide emissions, while higher energy investments, technological innovation, renewable energy use, expenditure on research and development, and carbon emission taxes mitigated carbon dioxide emissions. Policy-level recommendations were made based on the findings.

The Sustainable Development Goals and corporate sustainability performance: Mapping, extent and determinants

Raneem Khaled et al.

Summary: This study develops a novel framework by hand-mapping the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their targets with a firm's sustainability practices, reflected in its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) scores. The mapping provides actionable solutions for firms to identify the connections between SDGs and ESG performance and measure their progress. Firm-specific characteristics such as profitability, size, and leverage can help explain variations in corporate sustainability performance, with certain SDGs and targets being more relevant to the business sector.
