Trade-off between environmental sustainability and economic growth through coal consumption and natural resources exploitation in China: New policy insights from wavelet local multiple correlation

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo

Summary: Challenges brought on by rapid economic growth in China include the depletion of natural resources and environmental deterioration. This study evaluates the time-frequency nexus between CO2 emissions, natural resources, coal consumption, and economic growth using data from 1970 to 2020. The findings show that economic growth, coal consumption, and natural resources positively drive CO2 emissions at all frequencies, leading to environmental degradation. This study has significant implications for policy-making.

Prediction of thermal degradation of biopolymers in biomass under pyrolysis atmosphere by means of machine learning

Andrew Adewale Alola et al.

Summary: Motivated by Finland's transition to circular economy and carbon neutrality, this study investigates the environmental aspects of resource productivity, environmental-related technologies, and export intensity using various statistical approaches and long-term estimators. The findings suggest that increasing raw material productivity can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while environmental-related technologies also play a significant role. However, economic growth measured by GDP has a negative impact on environmental sustainability in the long run. Relevant policy measures are recommended to guide decision makers in achieving circular economy and carbon zero goals in Finland.

Role of country risks and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality: Evidence from MINT countries

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of country risks and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality. The study focuses on Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey (MINT) nations and considers economic growth, trade openness, and urbanization. The results show that economic growth, political risk, urbanization, and trade openness contribute to an increase in ecological footprint, while economic and financial risks and renewable energy use have a positive influence on environmental quality. The findings also verify the validity of the EKC hypothesis for the MINT economies and the robustness of the results.

Formulating sustainable development policies for China within the framework of socioeconomic conditions and government stability

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: This study examines the causal impacts of various factors on the environmental quality in China, using quarterly data from 1984 to 2018. The results show that nuclear energy and government stability have a positive influence on environmental quality, while economic growth, financial development, and socioeconomic conditions degrade it. The study suggests that increasing nuclear energy consumption and implementing green financial measures can effectively improve environmental quality and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in China.

Asymmetric role of renewable energy, green innovation, and globalization in deriving environmental sustainability: Evidence from top-10 polluted countries

Yunpeng Sun et al.

Summary: This study examines the asymmetric impact of renewable energy consumption, green innovation, globalization, and economic growth on carbon emissions in the top 10 polluted countries. The findings show that globalization contributes to higher carbon emissions across all quantiles, while renewable energy consumption mitigates carbon emissions at extreme lower and extreme higher quantiles. Green innovations only reduce carbon emissions from medium to higher quantiles. Economic growth and population lead to higher emissions across all quantiles.

Helping the ingroup versus harming the outgroup: Evidence from morality-based groups (Withdrawn Publication. See vol. 101, 2022)

Lusine Grigoryan et al.

Summary: The discrepancy between ingroup favoritism and outgroup hostility has been well established in social psychology. Studies with natural groups suggest that when group membership is based on similarity or dissimilarity of moral beliefs, people are willing to help their ingroup but harm the outgroup. However, these studies are limited by confounding factors such as shared morality and intergroup relations. Two preregistered experiments using artificial groups and the IPUC game show preliminary findings that morality-based groups exhibit less egoism, more weak parochialism, more universal cooperation, and less strong parochialism. These findings contradict previous evidence and suggest that moral beliefs alone are insufficient in explaining the transition from ingroup love to outgroup hate. The third and final preregistered study aims to replicate these findings in a different cultural setting and examine the mediating role of trust in this process.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket: Testing an integrative model of household food waste

Christian Bretter et al.

Summary: Scholarly investigations have advanced our understanding of household food waste by studying food management behaviors (FMB) and applying the theory of planned behavior (TPB). This study draws on literature from environmental psychology to propose a comprehensive framework that includes TPB, FMB, individual goals, and values. Using a two-wave survey design with a quasi-representative sample in the UK, the study tests the framework using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results suggest that food waste is influenced by various cognitive and behavioral processes.

Priyanka Jha et al.

Summary: The extensive use of fossil fuels in sub-Saharan Africa has led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, negatively impacting sustainable development goals. However, biofuels produced from energy crops can help reduce GHG emissions if the total emissions are lower than fossil fuels being displaced. It is crucial to carefully assess how biofuel feedstock cultivation impacts local socioeconomic conditions, food insecurity, and biodiversity in order to promote sustainable biofuel production and uplift livelihoods in the region.

Self-efficacy and continuance intention of Web 2.0 platforms: a meta-analysis

Zheshi Bao et al.

Summary: This study found a medium-sized positive correlation between self-efficacy and continuance intention of Web 2.0 platforms, with this relationship being influenced by different platform types, respondent differences, and gender as moderating variables. The strongest correlation was observed for transaction-socialization platforms, while the weakest was for experience-socialization platforms. Among university-student respondents, the impact of self-efficacy on continuance intention was less significant compared to general members of Web 2.0 platforms. Additionally, an increase in the percentage of female participants resulted in a weaker effect size.

Evaluating Green Technology Strategies for the Sustainable Development of Solar Power Projects: Evidence from Pakistan

Shahid Ali et al.

Summary: The study evaluates green technology strategies for sustainable development of solar power projects in Pakistan and finds that green technology strategies can have a positive impact on the sustainable development of solar power projects. The profitability index is a good source of higher financial performance for solar power projects. The cost and riskiness of the methods significantly moderate the relationship between capital budgeting techniques and financial performance of solar power projects. These findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers, government institutions, and regulators in selecting appropriate green technology strategies to promote cleaner production and sustainable development of solar power projects.
