Emissions trading schemes (ETSs) are effective measures that facilitate economic growth and carbon mitigation, especially for developing countries such as China. These schemes can further affect the cash flow, production, and investment decisions of...

This study examines the effects of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) on the value-added trade of food and non-food sectors. This study uses a global computable general equilibrium (CGE) model coupled with an extension module for...

As the division of labor in global industrial value chains deepens, the embedded relationships and carbon emission relationships among countries become more complex. First, calculate the embedding indices of forward and backward global industrial val...

This study examines the impact of the South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) on participation in global value chains (GVCs) among South Asian economies, specifically Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. This research offers new empirical insights into...

In the context of economic globalization, international trade facilitates cross-border production and consumption but raises concerns such as carbon transfer from corporate trade activities. This study investigates the influence of executives’...

The remediation of paddy soils co-contaminated with As and Cd is tricky. It is difficult to decrease Cd and As availability simultaneously due to their opposite geochemical characteristics. Finding the optimal trade-off relationship between As and Cd...

Background: With a rapidly growing young population, the African continent provides a high but barely exploited economic potential. Creating an African free trade zone is one of the African Union’s major initiatives to increase prosperity. Even...

The product service system (PSS), as a design concept for integrated products and services, needs to be evaluated in the early design stage to maximize the value for stakeholders of the PSS concept, which is a crucial task for enterprises. However, e...

Rapid socio-economic development has had a significant impact on land use/cover (LULC) changes, which bring great pressure to the ecological environment. LULC changes affect ecosystem services by altering the structure and function of ecosystems. It...

While the core objective of the Paris Agreement is to limit the increase in global average temperature (GAT) to 2 °C in the 21st century and to work towards limiting it to 1.5 °C, globalization and the configuration of production processes ar...

Based on previous research addressing the use of principal component analysis (PCA) in modeling the dynamics of sovereign yield curves, in this paper, we investigate certain characteristics of the Romanian government bond market. We perform PCA on da...

This paper analyzes the relative content of CO2 emissions embedded in regional supply chains in four different countries in Latin America: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Mexico. We estimate both the trade in value-added (TiVA) and the CO2 content embed...

This paper examines the subnational dimension of regional value-added transfers in multiscalar value chains in Brazil by analyzing the local content embedded in trade. This study reveals distinct spatial-based connectivity patterns within subnational...
