This study examines the effectiveness of low-cost nudges in encouraging low-carbon consumption among Chinese consumers, using behavioral economics to analyze willingness to pay the green premium.

Muhammad Farhan Bashir, Miao Ye, Madiha Bashir +2

This study examines the impact of eco-friendly ICT, economic complexity, energy structure, FDI, financial development, and population on carbon neutrality in ASEAN economies using Driscoll-Kraay, FGLS, and PCSE methods. It finds that ICT an…

Takashi Ishijima

This foreword introduces a special issue on the latest trends in marine equipment for alternative fuels and carbon neutrality. It outlines technological advancements and challenges in the decarbonization of the maritime industry, presenting…

Katsuhiko Akiyama

This paper discusses challenges toward carbon neutrality in shipping and the practical use of valves for alternative fuels like hydrogen and ammonia. It likely examines technical and operational issues in fuel systems to support maritime de…

This paper analyzes Mexico's Wholesale Electricity Market (MEM) by comparing it with international markets like Chile, Brazil, the US, the UK, Scandinavia, South Korea, France, and China. Using a mixed-method approach, it evaluates supply r…

Langfeng Zhou

This paper investigates the macroeconomic spillover effects of the European green transition on the Euro area (EA) and a small open economy (SOE) using a two-region New Keynesian model. It quantifies the roles of energy price and exchange r…

Md Abdullah Omar

This thesis empirically examines the impacts of climate variability on energy poverty, urban-rural energy inequality and deforestation, and adaptive capacity on suicide mortality in low- and middle-income countries. Using panel data econome…

Mahdi Kchaou, Diederik Coppitters, Francesco Contino

This paper proposes a framework to identify robust early-stage decisions in energy transitions under unexpected events. Using a whole-energy system model for Belgium, it generates near-optimal pathways up to 10% costlier than the optimum an…

Hamidullo CHORIYEV

This paper analyzes China's strategic energy interests and policy in Central Asia. Driven by growing domestic demand and the 'Malacca Dilemma,' Central Asia becomes crucial for Beijing's energy diversification. Using energy security theory …

Itzell Torres

This paper ethnographically examines the suspension of a 70 MW solar PV park in Yucatán, Mexico, halted by a grassroots legal injunction. It conceptualizes infrastructure as spatiotemporal and affective entanglements, arguing that suspended…

Tom Woodhead

This thesis comprises three empirical chapters examining macroeconomic policy in the UK's renewable energy transition. The first chapter finds that domestic oil stocks do not buffer oil price shocks and reveals asymmetric responses of renew…
