Uzzaman, Md. Arif-

This report compares sustainable finance approaches across China, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Mongolia, proposing a Three-Model Framework (Capital-Market, Command-Control, Concentration-Risk). Each model has unique weakness…

This paper proposes 'anticipatory economic implementation,' where credible policy commitments shape market behavior before legal implementation. Using the proposed UK-EU ETS linkage as a natural experiment, it analyzes daily carbon futures …

Carlos Alexandre Gama, Eduardo Souza, Leonardo Maues +1

This paper argues that carbon prices in ETSs primarily reflect institutional scarcity and expectations rather than short-term emissions outcomes. Through comparative analysis of the EU ETS and emerging systems, it shows that price increases…

Abhinav Jindal, Sameeksha Patil

This paper quantifies the trade and production-network impacts of the EU CBAM on India, China, and Japan's steel, aluminum, and cement sectors. It converts carbon costs into ad valorem equivalents and uses a gravity model to estimate export…

Jingyi Wang

As the EU CBAM becomes fully effective in 2026, it will impact Chinese exports. China's ETS carbon price is a fraction of the EU ETS, and this paper proposes including resource tax and consumption tax as effective carbon prices to reduce CB…

As emissions trading systems expand globally, the treatment of non-permanent carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) under cap-and-trade schemes is a recurring policy challenge. Using the EU ETS fifth-phase review as a case study, this paper t…

This study shows that extending the EU ETS to maritime transport incentivizes evasive hub-and-spoke transshipment, reallocating emissions rather than reducing them globally. Analyzing 7,791 demand pairs, it finds transshipment accounts for …

Govinda R. Timilsina, Ze Song, Gal Hochman

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three major ETS (EU, NZ, Korea) using a generalized synthetic control method on 2005-2020 data. The EU ETS reduced electricity-sector CO2 by 21.3% and total CO2 by 15.6%, while NZ's ETS had no signi…

Cynthia A. Williams

This article reviews emerging empirical evidence on the effects of mandatory GHG disclosure on corporate emissions reductions, examining whether disclosure is an effective climate policy tool. Studies from the UK and US show that mandatory …

Mauro, Filippo, Cartolano, Fabio, Astegiano, Paola +6

This paper presents a methodology from the EU-funded IKIGAI project to accelerate decarbonization of freight transport and logistics. It develops a decision-support framework based on Physical Internet principles, guiding logistics innovati…

C.C Hsieh, Nur Layli Rachmawati

This paper analyzes indirect material sourcing in semiconductor supply chains using a game-theoretic model with asymmetric recovery capabilities and endogenous recovery effort. It finds that intensified competition can shift sourcing toward…

Didem Göçmen

This study compares carbon management and sustainability performance of Schiphol, Heathrow, and Fraport airports (2023-2025) using document analysis. Scope 3 emissions increased across all three, offsetting reductions in Scope 1 and 2. Repo…

William Diebel, Robert D. Klassen

For large firms, most emissions occur in supply chains, yet few commit to SBTi. Using an attention-based view, this study argues supply chain operations create attentional structures that shape commitment to Scope 3 targets. Analyzing 13,66…

Shohei Tokito

This study develops a supply chain-based emissions accounting framework integrating upstream and downstream emissions. Using GLORIA data, it identifies China, US, India, Russia, and Japan as top emitters. Developed countries show rising dow…

Hiroyuki Yamada, Ken Hidaka

This study explains comparability challenges in Scope 3 Category 7 (employee commuting) emissions through a conceptual framework distinguishing counting from accounting. Analyzing public disclosures from 35 firms across seven economies, it …

Mouhamadou Bocandé

Using an exact within-firm accounting identity, this paper decomposes changes in corporate carbon intensity (emissions/revenue) into emissions, real revenue growth, and inflation. Analyzing 1,700-1,900 listed firms (2014-2024), it finds tha…

Praun V, Reichl J, Rusch K

This paper develops a framework to derive economically justified incentive levels for demand-side flexibility based on avoided grid expansion costs, accounting for load uncertainty. Applied to an Austrian low-voltage grid, it finds incentiv…

Gregorio, Rose

This position paper consolidates lessons from four Horizon Europe projects on circular battery value chains, addressing reverse logistics, repurposing, and recycling. It identifies regulatory, standardization, and operational gaps in implem…

Elwageeh, Sherif

This dataset provides cross-sectional data for analyzing economic, environmental, and infrastructure determinants of renewable energy consumption across 194 countries in 2021. It serves as a foundation for international comparative research…

Seibold, Toni, Neumann, Fabian, Ueckerdt, Falko +1

This repository provides the solved PyPSA networks used in the analysis of trade-offs between cost efficiency and import dependence in the green industrial transition. It enables quantitative evaluation of renewable deployment and industria…
