Decarbonization in Financial Turbulent Times
This study examines how participation in global value chains (GVCs) influences carbon emissions amid financial turbulence, with attention to cross‐country heterogeneity and distributional dynamics. Although existing research has explored trade–environment linkages, limited attention has been given to how GVC integration interacts with financial crises and institutional quality across different emission regimes. Addressing this gap, the study empl…
Addressing the Energy Trilemma
Balancing energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability has become increasingly challenging as economies pursue low‐carbon growth amid climate risk and persistent disparities in access to modern energy. Although entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a driver of innovation, its role in addressing the energy trilemma remains contested. This study examines whether, and under what conditions, entrepreneurship contributes to reso…
