While studies on this problem often question the relationship between production volume, energy use, and carbon emissions, few studies question the effects of the financial assets, which are the providers of investments made for production purposes, on environmental degradation. This study used the fixed effect model and system GMM technique to analyse the moderating effect of green finance in connection to financial openness and environmental quality from 2015 to 2020 in the CEE countries. Findings show, among other things that (1) CO2 in CEE countries is still growing; (2) financial openness is a positive and significant indicator of CO2 emission; and (3) that green finance usage reduces the positive impact of financial openness on CO2 emissions. The study suggests that financial openness, renewable energy (RE) investment, and green technology innovation (GTI) — consistently drive CO2 emissions in CEE countries. The study suggests that policies promoting green finance, particularly RE investment and GTI, can help mitigate environmental degradation and reduce CO2 emissions.","PeriodicalId":35909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By considering the heterogeneity of environmental regulation and eco-innovations, this study sheds light on how different environmental regulation instruments can facilitate and enhance eco-innovation practices, along with the role of environmental orientation in mediating the relationships. The study surveyed 188 managers and owners and utilised the partial least squares-structural equation model as the analytical method. Results showed that environmental regulatory mechanisms have no direct impact on eco-innovation. However, the study has found that environmentally oriented SMEs respond to strict environmental policies and regulations by undertaking eco-innovation practices. Furthermore, market-based instruments provide firms with strong environmental orientation and economic incentives to foster eco-process innovations. The study offers practical insights for policymakers and SME managers, in addition to advancing the knowledge base.","PeriodicalId":35909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elucidating these goals requires effective and efficient environmental policies, substantial financial resources, and technological innovation to ensure an energy transition and reduce fossil fuel divestment and polluting technologies. In this context, this paper aims to examine the impact of environmental sustainability policy and institutions on green economic growth. Using a CS-ARDL panel model for a sample of 69 low-income countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America over the period 2005-2020, we find that the effect of environmental sustainability policy and institutions on green GDP per capita is positive and statistically significant. The intensity of this effect is moderated by increases in renewable energy consumption and decreases in CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the subsample analysis indicates that the relationships between environmental sustainability policy and institutions and green growth remain positive for the four continents. In the long run, the intensity of this effect is stronger in Europe and Asia than in America and Africa. Moreover, these impacts are more effective as renewable energy increases and CO2 emissions decrease. It seems to be more important in Europe and Asia than in America and Africa. Overall, low-income countries should pay particular attention to policy and institutional index for environmental sustainability to promote green growth, taking into account the moderating effect of renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions reduction.","PeriodicalId":35909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140989816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study reveals that these factors exhibit variations in terms of statistical significance. The findings indicate that an increase in the push effect and pull effect significantly influences the switching behaviour of MSME owners/managers. In contrast, concerning the mooring effect, each element demonstrates varying levels of direct influence on the transition towards green practices in MSMEs, with some impacts proving to be statistically significant and others not. Overall, these findings shed light on the intricate dynamics of MSMEs environmental responsibility, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":35909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139958965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emergence of digital technologies and the internet has opened up new opportunities for entrepreneurship, especially for women facing traditional barriers to business participation. In particular, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has witnessed many women entrepreneurs who leverage e-commerce platforms to establish and grow their businesses. Combining e-entrepreneurship with environmental conscience depicts a future in which sustainable development and economic prosperity coexist. This research will explore the motivations, challenges, and strategies employed by Saudi women entrepreneurs in the e-commerce sector and analyse the impact of their entrepreneurial activities on the future economy. The study followed a quantitative and post-positivist approach. Data were collected cross-sectionally from the women working in different start-ups in the big cities of KSA. The study adopted the systematic random sampling approach to reach the respondents. A total of 500 questionnaires were distributed. However, 388 were included for analysis after the screening process. The findings reveal that e-entrepreneurial significantly impacts women’s entrepreneurial and economic growth. Moreover, Entrepreneurial self-efficiency significantly mediates the relationship between women’s entrepreneurial and economic growth. The findings comprehensively understand complex dynamics and guide future research and practical applications in related domains. Furthermore, the study found that Saudi women entrepreneurs should receive financial and technical support to initiate their ventures. Moreover, policy recommendations of the study demand addressing cultural barriers and fostering an enabling environment for their entrepreneurial endeavours.","PeriodicalId":35909,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140480113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
