Productivity measures the performance of decision-making units (DMUs)—firms, organizations, industries, or the overall economy—as the ratio of outputs to inputs. This paper discusses an improved approach for estimating partial productivity—the additional amount of output that can be produced by increasing a specific input by one unit.

This study examines the economic implications of climate policies, specifically evaluating the effectiveness of Kyoto Protocol (and the institutional setting emerging from it) in reducing carbon emissions. By analyzing data from 36 OECD countries between 1992 and 2019, we assess marginal abatement costs and evaluate the impact of the Kyoto Protocol.

Under the global digitalization trend, enhancing the construction of new-generation information network infrastructure is crucial for China to break the high-carbon path dependence formed during traditional economic development. This study uses city-level data of China from 2010 to 2021 to calculate the carbon lock-in degree of 283 cities.

Stakeholder engagement in the process of policy formation can mitigate the risks of flaws in policy planning and implementation; it also facilitates the successful adoption of new decisions, reduces conflict, and enhances the sense of responsibility among all actors involved in the implementation phase.
Population semi-urbanization has become a significant feature in the process of urbanization in some countries, especially China. Although the impact of population and urbanization on the ecological environment was thoroughly studied, the role of the semi-urbanized population needs further discussion. This research studies the spatial effect of population semi-urbanization on sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions through provincial data from China.

The impact of supply chain digitalization (SCD) on carbon dioxide emissions is an emerging area of research, particularly in China, which is the world’s largest carbon emitter. This study uses micro-level data on listed companies from 2010 to 2021 to systematically verify the impact and mechanism of SCD on corporate carbon emissions (CCE) through the difference-in-differences model.
