Based on the multiple definitions and cultural interpretations of smart cities, this study systematically compiled the components, standards, and development modes of smart cities in various regions of the world and proposed a new integration of smart city dimensions and operational framework...

Climate change and environmental degradation are largely attributed to increased carbon dioxide emissions (CO2). This study investigates the effectiveness of environmental taxes and renewable energy consumption on reducing CO2 emissions in 36 developing countries from 1994 to 2018, using the...

Achieving a balance between economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social well-being remains a pressing challenge for emerging economies. This study examines the factors contributing to inclusive growth in the BRICS countries, concentrating on the connections between life expectancy,...

Globalisation has positively influenced the development and dissemination of renewable energy, particularly in developing and emerging economies. Innovation is a primary driver of such technologies and a cornerstone of the kind of global decarbonisation of energy systems needed to meet the goals...

Diese Arbeit analysiert die Durchsetzung von internationalen Arbeitsstandards in transnationalen Unternehmen (TNCs) aus sogenannten Schwellenländern mittels des Instruments der Global Framework Agreements (GFAs). Die Verbreitung der GFAs hat seit den 1990er Jahren stetig zugenommen, wobei der...

We develop a theory to account for changes in net capital flows of safe and risky assets over the global financial cycle. We show empirically that countries that have a net debt of safe assets experience a rise in net outflows of safe assets (reduced accumulation of safe debt) during a downturn...

This paper, using the Bewley (1979) transformation of the autoregressive distributed lag model, proposes a novel pooled Bewley (PB) estimator of long-run coefficients for dynamic panels with heterogeneous short-run dynamics, in the same setting as the widely used Pooled Mean Group (PMG)...

Owing to increased energy consumption, the growth of various sectors of economies has the tendency to increase carbon dioxide emissions, a major component of greenhouse gases that causes climate change and global warming. A suggested panacea is to increase the development and usage of renewable...
