Financial development serves as a key indicator to achieve rapid economic growth and environmental sustainability globally. Therefore, this study explores how financial development, globalization, green energy influence carbon emissions, along with GDP, technological innovation, trade openness, in the Next-11 emerging economies from 1990 2022. The cointegration causality associations are analyzed by using Panel Common Correlated Effect Mean Group (CCEMG) Augmented (AMG) techniques our objective. empirical results AMG analysis indicate that contribute diminishing CO 2 emissions 1.25%, 2.23%, 2.90%, respectively. Conversely, liberalization, have negative impacts on environment, increasing 1.04%, 0.13%, 0.18%, Similarly, findings CCEMG outcomes expose inverse link between expansion degradation. Our highlight policymakers should prioritize sustainable practices for of markets, particularly businesses invest cleaner technologies renewable energy. This integrated strategy is necessary countries accomplish their SD goals effectively confront climate change.

<p>This research explored the relationship between digital trade development and sustainable social in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We first defined these two concepts then constructed Sustainable Social Development Index (SSDI) Digital Trade (DTDI) using entropy weighting method panel data of 26 African countries from 2000 to 2020. also analyzed indices Granger non-causality test instrumental variables two-stage least squares estimation method. Our findings show a statistically significant bidirectional causal DTDI SSDI. Moreover, our result shows that 1% increase is linked 0.33% improvement This provides evidence potential for promote progress SSA. The study concludes improving financial infrastructure promoting gender equality are crucial strategies advancing both sustainability. enhances understanding link economic offers valuable insights policymakers emerging economies.</p>

Land, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(3), С. 633 - 633

Опубликована: Март 17, 2025

It is of great significance to study the impact China’s digital economy on green innovation under present conditions. In this work, panel data were used, and research tools such as entropy method, Markov chain with a spatial probability transition matrix, Durbin model applied analyze temporal evolution in 287 Chinese cities from 2011 2021, exploring influence innovation. The results show that exhibited an upward trend. There was basic pattern consisting “high levels east low west” regarding innovation, aggregation types primarily being “HH” “LH”. Moreover, are relatively stable, neighboring areas influencing local changes. has significant promotional effect well spillover effects; differing influences over time can be used categorize into four groups, most falling within first two categories. Based these findings, relevant countermeasures proposed, seeking further enhance role promoting This work provides basis policy suggestions contribute continuous improvements leveraging effects former latter.

The increasing interdependence among nations necessitates the establishment of advanced communication mechanisms.These mechanisms, built on digital technologies, are marked by rapid innovation and widespread adoption.Digital connectivity is an indispensable catalyst for global progress, collaboration, development, transcending geographical boundaries.It fosters inclusive growth, facilitates exchange knowledge ideas, a cornerstone modern interconnected world.Nevertheless, discrepancies in its adoption rates have given rise to what commonly known as divide.This divide obstructs realization benefits digitalization, even those who possess access alongside do not.Recognizing significance connectivity, various countries international development organizations emphasize importance.Consequently, proliferation technologies across exhibits K-shaped growth pattern.Some high-income experience favorable rates, while lowincome counterparts face negative trajectories.Even within individual countries, disparities income groups persist.In both cases, significant portion population remains unable reap compared their counterparts, perpetuating divide.Affordability emerges crucial issue, prompting governments provide subsidies connectivity.However, recent studies reveal that federal universal broadband United States not yielded desired outcomes (Kane 2023).Consequently, alone cannot bridge entirely, necessitating targeted efforts identify address nonfinancial barriers.In this context, disruptive can be pivotal inclusion initiatives.In pursuing economic Asian witnessed technologies.However, has Introduction: Navigating Digital Divide-Connectivity, Inclusion, Progress Asia Pacific xvresulted convergence due region's heterogeneous economic, social, political landscape regulatory frameworks.This lack poses challenges building effective regional integration.Therefore, comprehending current status analyzing determinants imperative.This study delves into formulate comprehensive policy framework.While many delve Schumpeterian technology, evolution led coexistence platforms.This comparison based composite index.However, constructing meaningful strategy or framework requires revisiting original dataset aggregation bias, oversimplification, transparency (Greco et al. 2019; Freudenberg 2003).Digital achieved through coexisting such mobile networks, internet, connections.Hence, separate analyses each technology type may deeper understanding countries.Additionally, application specific depends field operation, education, trade, health, environment.Therefore, pathways must consider using operational fields with existing framework.

Abstract To address the issue of green transformation in resource-exhausted cities, this study employs Policy Modeling Consistency (PMC) index model to carry out a comprehensive analysis effectiveness support policies execution at both central and local levels, covering 16 different administrative levels. Meanwhile, utilizing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) method, investigates interaction mechanisms effects various internal external factors context policy coordination, from perspective condition configurations. The findings reveal that overall effect supporting for cities China is generally commendable. Moreover, there notable characteristic “the lower level, higher quality policies”. Notably, organizational, technological, environmental, conditions alone cannot solely facilitate transition cities. Instead, it harmonious configuration these antecedents drives successful transformation. Additionally, antecedent exhibits heterogeneity types. Specifically, eastern region primarily relies on technological innovation production process improvement, while focuses improvement combinations. By contrast, western emphasizes combinations fostering environmental conditions. Furthermore, with coal oil types mainly depends combination innovation. Metal, forestry, other rely upgrading advancement industrial structures. In grouped capability, distance provincial capital city, capabilities, closer proximity city are more likely achieve Thereby, critical role identification effective pathways promoting

Abstract In the contemporary digital economy, trade barriers have emerged as significant external risks for enterprises engaging in international business despite economy’s role a critical driver of commerce. This study examines relationship between and through theoretical model, investigating influence mechanisms alongside other factors. Utilizing data from several countries spanning 2015 to 2022, this research employs correlation analysis, benchmark regression, robustness tests within constructed regression model explore impact on business. The findings indicate negative commerce, with 1% increase restriction index services resulting 0.217% decrease commerce (p<0.01). Additionally, while R&D intensity total positive effects development openness appears impact. Given these results, it is recommended that governments enhance construction service systems actively engage formulation convergence regulations. Simultaneously, should elevate their technological capabilities related digitization effectively navigate mitigate impacts barriers.
