This imperative has never been more critical, especially in the context of Europe and Italy, where the integration of environmental, economic, and social goals is essential to address the multifaceted challenges of the 21st century. This research introduces the Sustainable Economic, Environmental, and Social Investment Model (SEESIM), a novel multi-criteria decision-making framework designed to ensure the sustainability of projects as their validity over time, especially from a National Recovery and Resilience Plan perspective. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), SEESIM integrates environmental, economic, and social criteria as useful tool to evaluate a project in the post-funding phase, ensuring a balanced approach to efficiency and sustainability. The model is adaptable to various regional contexts, providing a transparent and replicable methodology for assessing the impacts and costs of public investments. An experimental scenario demonstrates SEESIM’s utility in guiding investment decisions, highlighting its potential to significantly enhance the effectiveness of public resources in achieving long-term sustainability goals. SEESIM represents a pivotal advancement in sustainable development strategies, offering a comprehensive tool for integrating multi-dimensional sustainability criteria into public investment decisions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"16 11","pages":"Article 100140"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142359327","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}

However, this relationship fluctuates in the short term. In addition, all independent variables positively and significantly maintain causality for tax morals. Furthermore, the dynamic estimation confirms the above relationship in the long-run in the panel. Although education and GDP maintained the same relationship in the GMM-QR estimation, corruption levels remained insignificant during the quantile period.

The findings reveal strong spatial dependence for both obesity prevalence in women and chronic malnutrition prevalence in children in Bolivia. Specifically, high rates of obesity in women are observed in eastern municipalities and their neighboring areas, while a concentrated cluster of chronic malnutrition in children is identified in the western regions.

Reliable Biomass and Carbon stock quantification and spatialization is a challenge, especially in degraded Mediterranean Cork oak forest. To estimate and map Biomass (B<sub>tree−Total</sub>) and Carbon stock (C<sub>st−total</sub>), we explored an improved approach using extracted metrics collected by Lidar-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles Lidar), combined with forest inventory data. We approach three types of models for data analysis: Simple linear regression, multiple linear regressions, and stepwise multiple linear regression. The best Biomass and Carbon stock model fit is the Stepwise multiple linear regressions, involving the following metrics: maximum elevation, canopy cover and point cloud density and intensity.

Our analysis was conducted on a sample of 306 managers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Anchored in the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), we tested three models to identify predictors of intention to adopt ESG practices and to explore the moderating role of facilitating conditions (FC) on the relationship between performance expectancy and intention to adopt ESG practices. Our findings indicate that there are consistent factors that predict the managers’ intention of adopt ESG practices, including Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), and Habitual Tendency (HT). We found that the FC negatively moderate the link between PE and intention to adopt social and governance practices within ESG framework. We argue that the nature of each domain within ESG, ceiling effect, and resource constraints and trade-offs might be possible explanations for these results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"16 10","pages":"Article 100126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1757780224003378/pdfft?md5=2ba04c17f23ca8bac20b1defbe984a9e&pid=1-s2.0-S1757780224003378-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141985779","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}
