This study aims to evaluate the economic and environmental efficiency of Asian African economies. In model proposed, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is considered as desired output Greenhouse Gases (GHG), like carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, undesirable output. Capital, labor, fossil fuels, renewable energy consumption are regarded inputs, GDP/CO2 ratio output, by using a log-linear Translog produ...

Epoxy ternary systems were prepared from the diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), epoxidized castor oil (ECO), and nano-CaCO3 using a thermally latent initiator. The effects of ECO and the nano-CaCO3 contents on the thermal stability and mechanical interfacial properties of the prepared DGEBA/ECO/nano-CaCO3 ternary systems were examined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Izod impact tests,...

The purpose of this paper is to examine and compare the contributions environmental innovation public sector private sector, respectively, their determinants. We analyze development over time triadic patents, classified as technological innovations, for six major patenting countries from 1990 2014. This done using a factor decomposition analysis framework. at both country aggregate level, set s...

Eco-labeling signals that a product has been eco-certified. While there is increasing use of eco-labeling practices, there is still little understanding of the conditions under which eco-labels can command price premiums. In this paper, we argue that the certification of environmental practices by a third party should be analyzed as a strategy distinct from although related to the advertisement...

Global food security requires eco-efficient agriculture to produce the required food and fiber products concomitant with ecologically efficient use of resources. This eco-efficiency concept is used to diagnose the state of agricultural production in China (irrigated wheat-maize double-cropping systems), Zimbabwe (rainfed maize systems), and Australia (rainfed wheat systems). More than 3,000 sur...

Acknowledging and understanding the role that information may play in affecting consumer assessment of eco-marketed products is a key step in improving the effectiveness of eco-labeling initiatives. Consumers who hold preferences for environmentally preferred products may be unable to express their preferences for such goods under current eco-information campaigns. The emerging use of eco-label...

Enhancing eco-innovation is essential to simultaneously achieving goals of environmental protection and economic development. Besides technological push market demands, the drivers determinants could also be institutional regulatory factors. While scholars have been examining effects regulations on eco-innovation, there still a lack research incentives created by policies. In response, this art...
