Public preferences for critical mineral mining in the U.S
Resolving the energy efficiency paradox
This article examines the economics of energy efficiency in Saudi Arabia’s building sector, centering on the “energy efficiency paradox,” the observed under adoption of cost-effective technologies despite their clear benefits—such as reducing energy use and associated emissions. We show that a mix of market barriers and behavioral biases—including split incentives, informational gaps, and the value-action gap—constrains adoption of energy-efficie…
Resident support for financial incentives in domestic mineral extraction
A framework for evaluating EV battery mineral sourcing challenges
A strategic insight into the market for carbon management capacity
The market for carbon management capacity is conceptualized. • Carbon management has a supply and demand side. • Policies can encourage technology development and technology adoption. • Market and non-market forces can increase carbon management capacity. This study presents the market for carbon management capacity via carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies, identifying demand and supply forces, as well as clarifying the potential…
ESG ratings in the mining industry
Larger mining firms have more favorable ESG ratings than smaller ones. • ESG-rated mining firms are bigger than unrated firms. • Mining firms with high unmanaged ESG risk have lower ESG scores. • There is no correlation between financial indicators and ESG ratings. While previous research explores the relationship between ESG ratings, firm size, and financial outcomes, there is a lack of comprehensive analysis comparing multiple ESG ratings withi…
Renewable energy technologies and carbon capture retrofits are strategic complements
Limited benefits and high costs are associated with low monetary returns for Guatemalan household investment in water, sanitation, and hygiene technologies
Firm Level Determinants of International Certification
Trans-boundary Movement of Hazardous Waste
The paper explores a new micro dataset on the export of hazardous waste generated in Europe. A total of 16 745 industrial facilities generated hazardous waste in 2009 out of which 1 272 exported some or all of the waste. A measure of the export intensity of facilities is introduced by using export of hazardous waste as a percentage of total hazardous waste generated. The study finds that 96% of the export stays within Europe and rarely goes to de…
