Sustainable intensification measures promise ecological improvements of farming while maintaining profitability. That is, farms should be able to produce at a higher ecological efficiency without losses in economic efficiency. Based on a theoretical framework, we investigate this promise...

Innovation adoption and diffusion by firms are key pillars for the EU strategy on resource-efficiency and the development of a circular economy. This paper presents new EU evidence regarding the role of environmental policy and green demand drivers to sustain the adoption of resource...

A more resource efficient and circular economy will help to decouple global economic growth from natural resource use, decrease environmental degradation and improve energy efficiency.

"Anthill Economics puts forth an innovative and cross-disciplinary approach, asserting that the laws of nature and physics global economy as they are to animal ecosystems. This clearly written book full of illuminating ecological analogies gives readers an informed and engaging introduction to...

To test whether acquisitions by environmentally high performing firms are associated with superior cumulative abnormal returns (CAR), this study computes industry-adjusted eco-efficiency scores at the firm level, using carbon emission data from the Carbon Disclosure Project for a worldwide...

The development of eco-innovation parks in our country may be a key to regional as well as national sustainable development, due to their special features and opportunities for industrial synergy. Implementing a circular and green economy is also a current important challenge to a systemic...

Nowadays, most consumable goods are produced and transported in batches. Within the globalized environment, the flow of these batches is raising dramatically to satisfy the recurrent demands of the increasing population. Planning the flow of these batches from suppliers to customers, through...
