  1. Chinese steel exporters show lagged responses to expected carbon costs
    Analysis of Chinese steel exporters' responses to anticipated EU carbon border policies, showing pricing serves as primary adjustment mechanism with significant lagged effects.
  2. Higher climate risk weakens EU banking stability
    Climate change reduces EU banking stability; renewable energy and energy taxes provide protection, with effectiveness varying by fiscal stringency and deployment intensity.
  3. Inter-provincial cooperation lowers China’s carbon reduction costs
    Optimize China's carbon emission reduction through inter-provincial cooperation mechanisms. A cost-based model shows 40-80% cooperation reduces abatement costs by 60-70% while balancing regional.
  4. Digital technology availability supports higher carbon emission efficiency
    Differential game model examining how industrial internet platforms enhance carbon emission efficiency through digital technology integration, government subsidies, and multi-stakeholder.
  5. Environmental taxes show no robust link to sectoral eco-investments
    Analysis of seven EU countries reveals environmental taxes do not significantly drive sectoral eco-investments when controlling for economic scale, suggesting need for complementary policy mechanisms.
  6. Global tariffs converged long term, then diverged after 2018
    Study analyzes global tariff dynamics from 1990-2020, revealing long-term convergence until 2018 when U.S. tariff escalation triggers fragmentation in the multilateral trading system.
  7. Digital economy is linked to better rural economy–environment coordination in China
    Analysis of how digital economy expansion impacts coordinated rural economic and environmental development across Chinese provinces, revealing threshold effects and regional spillovers.
  8. Carbon trading decentralization hindered energy eco-efficiency
    Study of 257 Chinese cities shows carbon emissions trading policy reduces energy efficiency through technological and structural changes, though spillover effects partially offset losses.
  9. Forest carbon stock changes China’s forestry productivity estimates
    Analyze China's forestry productivity 2000-2020 using green total factor productivity measures integrating ecological and market efficiency while incorporating forest carbon stock.
  10. Industrialization and ICT raise CO₂ emissions in China
    Wavelet analysis reveals industrialization and ICT increase CO2 emissions in China, while financial development and renewables offer decarbonization pathways for carbon neutrality.
  11. Pollution transfer in the Yangtze River Delta expanded over time
    Analysis of pollution transfer networks in China's Yangtze River Delta reveals how economic and institutional factors drive regional redistribution of environmental health risks.
  12. Hungary showed mixed sectoral decoupling of growth and emissions
    Analysis of greenhouse gas decoupling in Hungary reveals strong progress in manufacturing and utilities sectors but persistent challenges in agriculture and specialized services.
  13. E-commerce is linked to lower urban electricity intensity
    E-commerce reduces electricity intensity in Chinese cities through population and economic agglomeration plus innovation. Government coordination and market efficiency strengthen effects.
  14. Financial development’s effect on social progress varies by income level
    Nonlinear analysis of financial development's effects on social progress, examining ICT's moderating role across income levels and the necessity of tailored policies for inclusive outcomes.
  15. China coal prices show long-term links with inventory and logistics
    Analysis of China's steam coal price formation reveals that port inventory, shipping costs, and oil prices drive pricing dynamics more than production alone, with implications for energy policy.
  16. Returning CBAM revenues to vulnerable products may raise welfare and cut emissions
    Product-level analysis of EU carbon border adjustment mechanism reveals revenue redistribution can increase global welfare and emissions reductions in steel sectors.
  17. Data exchange platforms linked to higher urban green energy efficiency
    Study examines data element marketization's impact on green energy efficiency in 282 Chinese cities, revealing direct effects and spatial spillovers with stronger effects in developed regions.
  18. Energy prices are linked to agricultural prices directly and through fertilizers
    Analysis of monthly data from 1990 to 2024 shows energy prices affect wheat, maize, and soybean prices directly through fuel costs and indirectly through fertilizers.
  19. FinTech, AI, and Blockchain are linked to higher sustainability performance
    Empirical analysis of FinTech, AI, and blockchain adoption effects on sustainable development performance in G20 countries, 2015-2023, revealing complementary amplification mechanisms.
  20. Natural gas prices and green bonds show a changing two-way link
    Quantile-on-quantile analysis of natural gas price and green bond market interactions reveals nonlinear, time-varying relationships within sustainable development contexts.
