This study investigates the relationship between green finance and environmental sustainability, with particular attention towards how these dynamics foster green economic growth within BRICS economies. Using a balanced panel dataset spanning 25 years, the research employs the Method of Moments...

This paper analyzes the causal effect of exposure to uncensored environmental reporting on individuals' environmental preferences and pro-environmental behavior. We exploit a natural experiment occurring in the German Democratic Republic, where geographic characteristics determined access to...

This paper has explored heterogeneous individual valuations of an important amenity, climate mildness, using a traditional Rosen-Roback empirical framework. It does so by including interaction terms between the amenity and worker characteristics in an hedonic wage regression that also include a...

We develop a unified cost-benefit framework that allows for a better understanding of nature conservation and climate policies under risk and uncertainty. We derive modified Hotelling rules from a social planner’s welfare optimization. They reveal four forces that jointly determine market...

The Vjosa River Basin, located in the heart of the Balkans, is one of Europe's last free-flowing wild rivers comprising a large number of pristine habitat types with a wealth of biodiversity. Widespread degradation of the forest ecosystem and unsustainable land use due to logging and livestock...

Cette quatrième édition du Rapport sur la Situation Économique du Cameroun s'inscrit dans un programme de rapports annuels analysant les tendances et les contraintes au développement du pays. Elle examine la performance économique du Cameroun dans le contexte mondial et régional, mettant...

Herein, we further examine how we can value nonmarket goods and services by considering the costs associated with environmental conflicts. Focusing on two American rules-the asymmetric reimbursement system and the contingent fee contract-we develop a strategic game-theoretic model in which a...

This paper examines how the fragmentation of production across Global Value Chains (GVCs) generates both economic and environmental inequalities. Building on the "smile curve" framework (Mudambi, 2008; Meng et al., 2020), we show that developing countries specialize in low-value-added, high-emission...

Global biodiversity decreased by 69% from 1970 to 2022, representing a key risk to economic activity. However, the link between nature, biodiversity and finance has received little attention within the field of sustainable finance. This paper attempts to fill this gap. Nature finance aims to...

The implementation of Circular Economy measures in the EU plastics sector has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 75-84 Mt C02-eq. annually by 2050. CE measures can also significantly decrease EU consumption of fossil resources and energy, leading to a EUR 18 billion annual...

The acronym LISBETH stands for LInking ecosystem Services and Benefits to the Economy Through bridging. Its purpose is to explore the applications of ecosystem services (ES) accounts, which measure the contribution of ecosystems to human well-being and economic growth. This is the third of a...

In the face of accelerating climate change and a shifting geopolitical landscape, the circular economy (CE) paradigm is emerging as a critical strategy in EU policymaking. It is of particular importance for the cement and concrete sector, which accounts for about 4% of EU greenhouse gas (GHG)...

This research examines how energy efficiency measures impact macroeconomic results and solves an important research deficiency. An analysis of how energy efficiency policies impact macroeconomic dynamics occurs through agent-based modeling (ABM). This research evaluates two approaches to...

This article explores the career of American economist Robert Dorfman (1916-2002), that can be divided into three distinct phases. During the first phase (1938-1958), he made contributions to mathematical programming and statistics. The clarity of his work was particularly emphasized by his...

The Paris Agreement mandated high-greenhouse-emitting countries implement carbon pricing to accelerate emission reduction to cope with environmental challenges posed by climate change. We emphasized a research analysis of the reciprocal feedback mechanism between micro- and macro-economic...

From reviewing the literature, there was still a scarcity of research about direct and indirect relationships between fintech adoption (FA) and banks' environmental performance (BEP), particularly in developing countries. Therefore, this is a pioneering study that empirically explored the...
