Using China’s Supply Chain Innovation and Application Pilot Policy as a quasi-natural experiment with a city-year panel of 279 cities (2005–2021), the study finds that supply chain digitalization reduces local urban pollutants and CO2 emiss…

Shanshan Zheng, N.A.K. Nandasena, Cheng Chen +1

Using OECD input-output data, this study estimates embodied carbon emissions in maritime transport across BRICS (1995–2018) under producer, consumer, and shared responsibility frameworks. China and South Africa show export-driven emissions,…

This study extends the primary data share (PDS) indicator from product carbon footprinting to social LCA, proposing three data specificity indicators (PDS, site-specific, and company-specific). Applied to lithium production in Chile, the fo…

Ying Xu, Fu Jia, Lujie Chen +1

Using panel data of 454 Chinese listed manufacturing firms (2010-2021), this study shows digital transformation (DT) promotes carbon emissions reduction (CER). The positive effect is stronger under high supplier/customer concentration but w…
