In a framework characterized by a relatively high degree of institutionalization, such as that of the European Union, it became difficult to imagine that the problem of Green Public Procurement (GPP) could surpass it. The special importance of the GPP, due to its favorable effects on the...

Whether command-control environmental regulation can play a positive role in circumstances of imperfect market incentive-based environmental regulation remains rarely explored. Using the difference-in-difference model, we find that command-control environmental regulation can significantly...

This study aims to examine the congruence of trade openness with regards to encouraging pervasive usage of green energy sources and the nexus among environmental degradation, economic development, oil prices, and green energy consumption (GEC). The study utilizes advanced panel data techniques,...

Planet Earth, with its plethora of natural (im)balances, has a venerable age of 4.54 billion years; the (industrial) imprint placed by the human species on it, considered to be not negligible, counts of just little over two centuries; while the digital/IT&C/virtual existence of man, in what we...

The adoption of the sharing economy by organizations is of central importance to energy efficiency. However, previous studies ignore the role of user adoption of the sharing economy. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the role of energy efficiency through user adoption of...

As the world transitions towards a low-carbon economy, understanding the employment implications of renewable energy growth is crucial, particularly in emerging economies like the BRICS nations, where energy demand and employment pressures are rapidly evolving. The justification for this study...

This work is divided into two complementary parts. In the first part, we develop a partial equilibrium model, through which it is possible to analyze the influence of tariff modicity and the illegal occupation of poles on four agents: energy distributors, telecommunications operators, and energy...

This paper provides a general characterization of overall power regulation and a detailed characterization of the ongoing evolution of distributed rooftop photovoltaic (PV) regulation in Costa Rica. The paper further develops rooftop PV adoption models for several classes of consumers and...
