This paper analyzes institutional frameworks for carbon market development in Africa, using Ethiopia as a model. In Ethiopia's government-owned land system, leveraging government engagement in protected areas for carbon credit contracts is …

Hongchun Wang, Haiyue Yin, Caifeng Lin

This study analyzes trade-in channel selection in a closed-loop supply chain under a hybrid carbon policy combining cap-and-trade and carbon tax. Using game-theoretic models for three manufacturer-led channels (M-CX, R-CX, T-CX), it finds t…

This first-of-its-kind study analyzes ranchers' preferences for grazing programs in the voluntary carbon market, surveying 506 ranchers across ten US states. Most ranchers opted out; those willing to participate preferred shorter contracts,…

Saajidah Adam, Tasneem Gathoo

This study conducts a SWOT analysis of South Africa's carbon tax policy (implemented in 2019). It finds the policy contributes to emission reductions and renewable energy investment but lacks transparency and protection for low-income house…

This study uses VaR and ES to measure price risk in Hubei's carbon emissions trading market, developing DCS-type models with skewed Student-t distribution. Empirical analysis on daily HBEA spot prices from April 2014 to December 2024 shows …

Yuzi Jiang, Wei Cui, Zhenan Xu +6

This paper proposes a carbon trading and energy management approach for multi-microgrids with integrated energy systems. It introduces a collaborative framework with a carbon trading mechanism and solves a cross-regional dispatch model usin…

Jui‐Jung Liao, Hari M. Srivastava, Shy-Der Lin

This paper models a three-echelon sustainable supply chain for deteriorating items with imperfect quality, balancing economic efficiency and environmental responsibility. It considers carbon emissions from production, warehousing, and trans…

Chengyou Cui, J J Li

This paper proposes a Vehicle Routing Problem with Drones and Mobile Base Stations (VRPDBS) model incorporating airspace constraints and carbon price uncertainty. Using real data from Yanbian, China, it finds that strict airspace compliance…

B. Roy, Nayantara Ghosh

This study optimizes a production-inventory model under progressive carbon taxation, analyzing the roles of green investment, lead time, and price breaks. It reveals how the progressive structure of carbon taxes affects inventory management…

Tropical savannas account for ~70% of global burned area and carbon emissions from biomass burning. This special issue compiles 20 papers exploring market-based fire management to reduce emissions, generate carbon credits, and support biodi…

Yingke Yang, Zhiyun Zou, Congjian Liu +3

This study proposes a bi-level emission reduction congestion pricing model (ERCM) that integrates traffic pricing with environmental outcomes. Using MOVES-based gasoline emission factors and a power-energy conversion model for electric vehi…

Fausto Corvino

This paper critically examines how carbon pricing commodifies nature, arguing that market-based climate solutions may reinforce environmental degradation. It highlights the risks of pricing natural systems and calls for alternative approach…
