This study investigates the dynamic interactions and spillover effects between geopolitical risks (GPR) and U.S. climate policy uncertainty (CPU) indices, energy markets (crude oil and natural gas prices), and U.S. 10-year Treasury yields from January 2008 to December 2023. We use the time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) model to capture the studied nexus's nonlinear and evolving nature. Findings show that GPR and CPU jointly affect the volatility and connectedness of the studied markets. While GPR has immediate and more pronounced effects, particularly on oil prices, CPU exerts a more prolonged and diffuse impact. Furthermore, the results indicate that oil prices (U.S. Treasury yields) are the shocks' primary transmitter (receiver) to (from) other markets. The study suggests that policymakers should consider diversifying energy sources and enhancing strategic reserves to mitigate the adverse effects of these uncertainties. Additionally, the findings support an expedited transition to renewable energy sources, less sensitive to geopolitical and policy-related disruptions, in alignment with global efforts to combat climate change.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142586651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While programs are omnipresent in government, concerns exist that they are not always strategically managed. Studies that examine SPM are lacking. This study defines and conceptualizes SPM, examines it in two national governments (Brazil and Indonesia), and focuses on felt performance accountability as a driver of SPM use. SPM use is highly uneven, and despite concerns about the effectiveness of performance accountability in the public sector, a key finding is that program managers' felt performance accountability is associated with increased SPM use by program officials. Managers' performance accountability also increases political appointees' support for programs and decreases their interference with program priorities. These findings are important because they provide a means for program officials, typically civil servants, to strengthen the strategic direction of public programs.

Data were collected online and offline from 605 respondents (317 Indian and 288 Australian) and examined using the Structural Equation Modeling technique. The findings reveal that environmental propensity, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and attitude towards EVs are the primary constructs influencing customers' intention to adopt EVs. Subjective norms is the most prominent factor influencing customers' intention to adopt EVs in India and Australia; therefore, industry practitioners targeting these economies must analyze these factors adequately.

This heightened unmet need fosters interpersonal facilitation and approach-oriented relationship crafting. Additionally, servant leadership augments the effect of employees’ sense of distinctiveness, which is induced by perceived overqualification, on their unmet need to belong, making prosocial consequences more pronounced. The results of two studies (Study 1: a scenario-based experimental study with 259 employees; Study 2: a multi-wave survey study with 325 employees) support our hypotheses.

The current research demonstrates that in contexts where there is a time delay between a food’s production and its consumption (referred to as “about-to-expire” food), strong perceptions of a food’s healthiness can be detrimental. This is because consumers hold a lay theory that healthy food expires more quickly. In eight studies ( N = 3,552), we find that merely portraying food as healthy increases the perception that it expires quickly and that this effect attenuates when consumers hold the lay theory weakly or have a high level of knowledge about food expiration. Importantly, this lay theory leads consumers to avoid consuming healthy (vs. non-healthy) about-to-expire food, resulting in increased disposal intentions and decreased preferences. In designing sales promotions for about-to-expire food, managers should consider the healthiness of food products, as consumers prefer different types of sales promotions and require different magnitudes of price discounts for healthy (vs. non-healthy) about-to-expire food. Finally, adding an expiration date label that provides unambiguous guidance (i.e., “consume by”) can effectively mitigate the detrimental effect of perceived healthiness on the consumption for about-to-expire food.","PeriodicalId":16152,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142588671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
