Due to environmental concerns and the growing emphasis on sustainable consumption, educating consumers and promoting eco-friendly products are paramount. In this perspective, this research aims to investigate the effect of the tone of video messages delivered just before the decision-making process on visual attention, environmental awareness, and the tendency to consume green products on online platforms. In view of the Regulatory Focus Theory, the study employs a dual-method approach, integrating eye-tracking as a neuromarketing tool and a questionnaire to enhance the reliability of findings.

Article Synopsis
  • This paper examines the impact of urban road transport (URT) development on haze pollution, focusing on the relationship between road accessibility and air quality in China's Yangtze River Delta.
  • It uses innovative data from digital elevation models and addresses potential issues of reverse causality by employing long-lagged values of URT as an instrumental variable in a two-stage least squares analysis.
  • The findings indicate that while better road connections can decrease haze pollution, the increased urban agglomeration from URT development contributes more significantly to elevated haze levels, suggesting that current road transport policies may have adverse long-term effects on the livability of cities in the region.

During the COVID-19 period, industrial production was slowed or halted due to COVID restrictions and lockdowns, followed by global tensions and conflicts, which created uncertainties for industrial production. Similarly, during this period, the growth in carbon emissions was seen shrinking. However, it is greatly important to explore whether this shrinking trend will continue or whether a new growth pattern could emerge.

With rapid urbanization, the economic agglomeration within cities is associated with severe air pollution. Urban spatial structure adjustment has been recognized as an effective strategy for improving air quality. However, the research on how to mitigate air pollution originating from economic agglomeration through urban spatial structure adjustment is unclear.

The objective of this paper is to analyze structural characteristics and the evolution of "international trade-carbon emissions" network in the equipment manufacturing industry. To do so, we construct four kinds of networks, namely export trade network (E network), export implied carbon emission network (EC network), foreign value-added network (FVA network), and foreign value-added implied carbon emission network (FVAC network) for the said industry. The data obtained from world-input-output table and social network analysis method was used for empirical analysis.

The objective of this study was to explore the roles of technological innovation, environmental regulations, and urbanization in ecological efficiency within the context of the 2015 Paris agreement. Initially, the study employed the super-efficiency DEA model to estimate the ecological efficiencies of 30 regions in China. Following this, the system GMM method was used to explore the impacts of technological innovation, environmental regulations, and urbanization on ecological efficiency.

The objective of this paper is to explore the nexus of innovation-environment and economic growth in the context of the Indian economy. To achieve the study objective, we explored the role of technological innovation, FDI, trade openness, energy use, and economic growth toward carbon emissions. Using the data of 1985-2017, the study employed ARDL bound testing and vector error correction model (VECM) methods to capture the effects of technological innovation, trade openness, FDI, energy use, and economic growth on CO emissions.

Carbon emissions have turned out to be one of the key alarming and complex issues which drive a long-lasting debate over climate change. The increasing trend in the usage of fossil fuels for the curse of economic development and at the same time reducing carbon emissions has become a significant phenomenon worldwide. In this study, we evaluate carbon emissions (CO) during 1972-2016 by employing logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) method.

The objective of this study is to investigate the potential impacts of foreign ownership on the corporate sustainability disclosure of leading non-financial companies in the context of an emerging economy of Pakistan. The study employed data from the year 2006 to 2018 gathered from the Pakistan stock exchange. Further, the data on foreign ownership and corporate sustainability disclosure obtained from the firm's annual reports and the global reporting initiatives (GRI) database.

Pakistan has an abundant solar power potential which can be effectively utilized for the electricity generation. There are various sites across the country which have sufficient solar irradiation across the year, and thus, suitable for the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) power projects. This study, therefore, aims to undertake research on the establishment of solar power project site selection in Pakistan.
