Some research on climate change has been the basis of climate change denialism (hereafter, CCD is used to refer to denial, denialism, and deniers). There is formative knowledge about the role of political propaganda in climate policies and resulting outcomes. To contribute to the understanding...

Global shocks potentially distort economy's achieved equilibria. Considering the 2020 global crude oil price shock and the 2019 coronavirus disease pandemic, this study proposes an energy and environment integrated general equilibrium model to analyze the economic, energy, and environmental...

The transition toward carbon neutrality in China necessitates integrating more renewable energy sources (RES) into the power grid. However, a high share of RES can destabilize the grid, making it crucial to add clean, flexible power sources, such as battery energy storage systems (BESS) and...

The Conference of the Parties (COP26 and 27) placed significant emphasis on climate financing policies with the objective of achieving net zero emissions and carbon neutrality. However, studies on the implementation of this policy proposition are limited. To address this gap in the literature,...

This study used dummy variables to measure the influence of day-of-the-week effects and structural breaks on volatility. Considering day-of-the-week effects, structural breaks, or both, we propose three classes of HAR models to forecast electricity volatility based on existing HAR models. The...

Extensive research has discussed digital inclusive finance's (DIF) rapid growth in financial services and its vital economic role; however, limited research addresses its potential to mitigate micro, small- and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) financing constraints and generate environmental...

Based on a database of 200 listed firms from the Growth Enterprise Market of China, this paper employs regression models to investigate the significance of IPO capital expenditure to firms' operating performance. It suggests that a vast majority of pre-IPO money is spent on business development...

This open access book explores new research directions in social inequality and urban segregation. With the goal of fostering an ongoing dialogue between scholars in Europe and China, it brings together an impressive team of international researchers to shed light on the entwined processes of...

Purpose: This study verifies whether the personal psychological factor of power distance disposition is perceived as conformity or obedience to the parties, triggers unethical pro-organisational behaviour (UPB) and is reinforced by hierarchy and market cultures. Design/methodology/approach:...

In this study, we develop a dynamic system model that exhibits only one stable solution (sink) to analyze the impact of various factors on low-carbon transition, including policy implications, energy consumption, and energy capacity. Our aim is to provide policy recommendations based on the...
