To assess the feasibility, the researcher used a mixed-methods approach. A total of 120 respondents were interviewed, including customers, entrepreneurs, wholesalers, masons, and laborers. The paper found that 85% of respondents were familiar with eco-friendly products, with 85% prioritizing them when buying. They prioritize product quality and price, with bricks being the most expensive. Most respondents believed eco-friendly construction materials were sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. However, sales of burnt bricks decreased compared to the previous year, with 30% selling 40000 pieces of bricks last year. This paper also found a growing interest in using environmentally friendly building materials, with hollow blocks being more popular. Most enterprises invested on average 225,000 BDT, with an average monthly income of 17,800 BDT. Most respondents had eight male workers, with 80% not having female workers. Moreover, the study found some market management problems, including lower prices, low capital, and lack of digital marketing issues.","PeriodicalId":505509,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Environmental Economics","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141682287","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}

A total of 50 managers and workers were used as the sample size for the study, of which 18 were female and 32 were male. The study was a descriptive survey, with a questionnaire as the instrument for data gathering. The final data were analyzed using descriptive statistics like percentages and frequencies through SPSS IBM 27. The two main objectives of the study were to examine the role of operators in participating in environmental health and safety in fuel service stations and to establish the level of awareness of the operators about environmental health and safety. The study revealed that operators of FSS within the petroleum downstream sector have major roles to play in environmental health and safety by enforcing health and safety policies established by law and regulations for Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE). The findings again showed that the level of awareness of the operators on environmental health and safety is very high and paramount in the FSS, as they showed positive concern about worker Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provision and standardized procedures for investigating and reporting accidents.","PeriodicalId":505509,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Environmental Economics","volume":"97 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141708753","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}

This paper integrates complex derivative models from neoclassical finance theory, including stochastic volatility, copula, and regime-switching models, to quantitatively analyze the impacts of dollarization. The models examine effects on poverty, inequality, economic growth, natural capital investment, and green bond financing access related to sustainable development goals and environmental economics. Despite limitations in assumptions, the models provide useful risk quantification. Results suggest dollarization exacerbates volatility and negative externalities, hindering sustainability objectives. The integration of derivative modeling and development economics provides an analytical framework for examining dollarization, indicating potential gains from gradual de-dollarization policies. Further empirical research is warranted to validate the theoretical insights.","PeriodicalId":505509,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Environmental Economics","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139452285","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}
