There are insufficient public policies oriented towards the well-being of the population, and accountability and transparency by authorities is lacking. In this study, the empirical analysis covers the period from 2003 to 2018 and consists of the estimation of two econometric models in order to assess the importance of a set of independent variables related to expenditure in the priority social sectors, on the HDI. Conclusions confirm Angola as a country with low levels of governance and weak public policies. As a result, the real needs in priority social spending are neglected, which essentially affects key social sectors, such as health, education and social protection.

This study examines the relationship between environmental technology development and environmental sustainability in ASEAN-6 economies and investigates the moderating role of digital infrastructure readiness in this relationship. Using panel data over the period 2010–2022, the analysis employs the CCEMG estimator to account for cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneous country effects. Environmental sustainability and digital infrastructure readiness are constructed using multiple environmental and digital indicators. The baseline results indicate that environmental technology development alone does not exert a statistically significant direct effect on environmental sustainability once common regional shocks are considered. However, the interaction term between environmental technology development and digital infrastructure readiness is statistically significant, suggesting that higher levels of digital infrastructure may weaken the environmental benefits of environmental technologies, possibly due to increased energy consumption associated with digital expansion. Robustness checks using alternative estimators confirm the directional stability of this interaction effect. The findings reveal that digital infrastructure can modify the environmental impact of technological innovation, potentially offsetting sustainability gains when digital expansion increases energy demand in carbon-intensive energy systems. These results highlight the importance of aligning digital transformation with renewable energy deployment and energy-efficient digital infrastructure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"5 4","pages":"Article 100388"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148940921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings indicate that technopreneurial opportunities significantly drive venture creation, with SMR acting as a vital complementary mediating mechanism. However, multi-group analysis reveals distinct structural disparities: male technopreneurs exhibit stronger effects in converting recognized opportunities and market conditions into actual business ventures. Conversely, female technopreneurs face persistent systemic challenges—such as limited access to finance and restricted entry into formal industry networks—that dampen the impact of their entrepreneurial efforts.

Methodologically, we employ a dynamic panel threshold GMM framework that captures persistence in energy intensity and addresses the dynamic endogeneity induced by the lagged dependent variable, using GDP per capita as the threshold variable to delineate income regimes. The estimates reveal a statistically significant income threshold at USD 6112 per capita (2017 PPP). Above this threshold, an increase in the renewable energy share is associated with a reduction in energy intensity that is significant at the 10% level; below the threshold, the estimated effect is smaller and statistically insignificant. The results imply that lower-income countries may need to prioritize system-readiness investments and capacity building to convert renewable energy scale-up into economy-wide efficiency gains, whereas higher-income economies can amplify these gains by focusing on innovation, smart-grid modernization, and demand-side efficiency measures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100674,"journal":{"name":"Innovation and Green Development","volume":"5 4","pages":"Article 100381"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148644028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These sustainability goals increasingly depend on firms' capacity for eco-innovation and their ability to harness digital capabilities.

The findings reveal that a higher degree of coherence among digital capabilities substantially enhances green transition performance, which subsequently drives stronger eco-innovation and sustainable outcomes.
