Summary: This study found that financial development and renewable energy consumption reduce consumption-based CO2 emissions in Chile, while economic growth and electricity consumption increase carbon emissions. Encouraging research and development of low-carbon technologies and renewable energy investments, while reducing consumption of nonrenewable energy sources, should be a focus for policymakers.

Summary: This paper measures the level of urban digital economy and high-quality green development in China and reveals the mechanisms and influences of the digital economy. It finds that the digital economy can directly drive high-quality green development and industrial structure adjustment and green technology innovation play important mediating roles. The paper also shows that the effects of the digital economy on high-quality green development are nonlinear and diminishing. Additionally, the digital economy affects high-quality green development in neighboring areas through spatial spillover effects.

Summary: Entrepreneurial ecosystems, as a prominent concept, present a paradoxical state of being under-theorized while offering a rich opportunity to synthesize diverse research strands. Understanding the causal mechanisms governing ecosystem evolution remains a challenge, yet recent advancements in scholarship seek to tackle this issue and propose a transdisciplinary research agenda for ecosystem research and practice.

Summary: Green technology innovations play an important role in balancing economic growth and environmental governance. However, there is limited empirical research on the relationship between green technology innovations and CO2 emissions, particularly in developing countries like China. This study examines panel data from 264 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2017, and finds that the impact of green technology innovations on CO2 emissions varies across different types of cities. It also shows that green technology innovations can contribute to CO2 emission reduction after 2010, indirectly through industrial structure upgrading. The study further suggests that the marginal effect of green technologies on CO2 emissions is influenced by the urban innovation environment and the human capital level of a city.

Summary: This paper presents a new analysis of the use of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) in marketing research, focusing on articles published between 2011 and 2020 in the top 30 marketing journals. The study finds that although researchers are more aware of the when's and how's of PLS-SEM use, there is still some delay in adopting the best practices for model evaluation. Recommendations for future PLS-SEM use, guidelines for its application, and areas of further research interest are provided based on the review results.

Summary: In the context of sustainable development, the development of the digital economy can improve green innovation levels indirectly by boosting economic openness, optimizing industrial structure, and expanding market potential. The development of the digital economy has spatial effects on green innovation. However, the enhancement of green innovation in more developed regions may inhibit green innovation in less developed regions.

Summary: There is a huge gap between the need for ICT infrastructure and its availability in developing countries. ICT and education have different effects on environmental quality, while globalization, income, and financial development play a role in controlling these effects. Policymakers are suggested to take measures to develop ICT infrastructure, improve education, and reduce unsustainable practices.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic globalization, financial development, energy use, economic development, and technological innovation on consumption and emissions in Pakistan. The empirical evidence reveals that financial and economic development stimulate consumption and emissions in both the short and long run. Energy use intensifies consumption and emissions only in the long run. Economic globalization adversely affects consumption and emissions in the short run but increases consumption-based emissions in the long run. Technological innovations decrease emissions in the long term. The study suggests policymakers discourage non-renewables and increase renewable energy use to decrease consumption and emissions.
