Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the macroeconomic, financial, and environmental implications of the global energy transition. The transition toward low-carbon systems is reshaping commodity markets—especially those for critical minerals—while simultaneously affecting inflation dynamics, financial conditions, and economic growth. These developments generate complex spillover effects across countries and sectors, raising important challenges for policymakers and researchers.
Whereas much ink has been spilled on energy markets, climate change, and macroeconomic fluctuations, less attention has been paid to their interactions, particularly in the context of the energy transition and its global transmission mechanisms. This Special Issue aims to fill this gap by encouraging contributions that integrate these dimensions using both theoretical frameworks and advanced empirical methods.
We welcome papers that provide new evidence on the role of critical minerals, climate risks, geopolitical uncertainty, and macroeconomic policies in shaping sustainable and resilient economic systems.
