Can industrial agglomeration achieve the emission-reduction effect?

Neng Shen et al.

Summary: The study found that different degrees and means of industrial agglomeration may have different effects on environmental efficiency, leading to a U-curved trend between industrial agglomeration and environmental efficiency, and each region should make rational use of external effects according to different stages of industrial development.

Environmental regulation, green technology innovation, and industrial structure upgrading: The road to the green transformation of Chinese cities

Kerui Du et al.

Summary: The study finds that the impact of environmental regulation on green technology innovation and industrial structure is related to economic development levels, with a low economic development level potentially inhibiting green technology innovation, but having an insignificant impact on industrial structure upgrading; as economic development levels grow, the impact of environmental regulation on green technology innovation and industrial structure weakens; when economic development levels are high, environmental regulation significantly promotes green technology innovation and industrial structure upgrading.

Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA): Guidelines for research practice in Information Systems and marketing

Ilias O. Pappas et al.

Summary: This article discusses the basic concepts and principles of fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), provides detailed practical guidance, and helps researchers better utilize data to avoid shallow reporting. It compares the differences between fsQCA and variance-based approaches, and explores how existing papers using variance-based methods can be extended and complemented through fsQCA.

Spatial agglomeration and driving factors of environmental pollution: A spatial analysis

Xing Wang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the data of 30 Chinese provinces using the spatial Durbin model, revealing obvious spatial disparities and clustering characteristics in China's environmental pollution. The study found a steady spatial agglomeration effect of environmental pollution among regions due to the correlation and similarity between economic units. Factors such as per capita GDP, technology, urbanization, and population were shown to have different influences on environmental pollution, with urbanization and foreign direct investment impacts varying significantly among regions and exhibiting a spatial transmission mechanism.

The effect of economic growth target constraints on green technology innovation

Fei Shen et al.

Summary: The study found that the setting and amplification of economic growth targets by governments significantly suppress regional green technology innovation, especially in cities with rapid economic growth and over fulfillment of goals. The inhibitory effect is mainly manifested through the impact mechanisms of industrial structure and foreign investment introduction.

Disentangling combinations and contingencies of generic strategies: A set-theoretic configurational approach

Thomas Greckhamer et al.

Summary: This study investigates the complex relationships between generic strategies and firm performance using fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis. It identifies different configurations associated with high and low performance, and highlights that having a generic strategy advantage is not sufficient for high performance, but is a vital ingredient for success. Additionally, it suggests that a generic strategy disadvantage is not sufficient for low performance, but is a key ingredient in paths to poor performance.

Target Interactions and Target Aspiration Level Adaptation: How Do Government Leaders Tackle the Environment-Economy Nexus?

Pan Zhang

Summary: This study examines the relationship between environmental targets and GDP growth goals in China, treating environmental protection and economic development as competitive tasks. The findings suggest that high pollutant emission reduction pressure can lower provincial leaders' expectations of economic growth, but improving pollutant emission efficiency can weaken this impact on economic growth expectations.
