Will circular economy actions deliver what is promised? A comparative analysis using static and dynamic environmentally extended input-output simulation models
The circular economy (CE) has been suggested as a means to decouple economic growth from resource use and its negative environmental impacts. In this article, we analyze CE actions' potential economic and environmental impacts using two models: the dynamic, environmentally extended input-output (EEIO) simulation model ENVIMATscen and the static EEIO model ENVIMAT. We introduce the ENVIMATscen model, which addresses some static input-output (IO) m…
How is energy poverty linked with citizen perceptions of financial support for low-carbon housing
Housing affordability and climate sustainability are increasingly interlinked in Europe, as housing costs strain household budgets and the residential sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates Finnish public perceptions of decarbonization housing policies, particularly views on financial support for the transition to low-carbon housing. Using nationally representative survey data from 2022, combined wit…
Twice upon a home
Residential energy consumption plays an essential role in mitigating climate change. An energy transition has the potential to alleviate socioeconomic disparities, although it can also lead to an unfair distribution of costs and benefits. The residential energy transition is already progressing in many countries, yet there remains a research gap regarding the participation of diverse population groups and the contribution of second homes to overa…
The drivers of intra‐ and interregional labor mobility over the industry life cycle of the high‐tech sector
In this article, we analyze how industry‐ and region‐specific characteristics influence individual‐level decisions on mobility within and between regions during the life cycle of the industry. Using uniquely detailed panel‐type data from the Finnish high technology sector, our analysis demonstrates that the influence of different regional features varies for different types of job changes and labor mobility and also according to the industry life…
River systems under peaked stress
The change in the global energy production mix towards variable renewable energy sources requires efficient utilization of regulated rivers to optimise hydropower operations meet the needs of a changing energy market. However, the flexible operation of hydropower plants causes non-natural, sub-daily fluctuating flows in the receiving water bodies, often referred to as ‘hydropeaking’. Drastic changes in sub-daily flow regimes undermine attempts to…
Innovators, followers and laggards in home solar PV
Generating electricity from solar energy is a way for households to participate in the ongoing transition to decarbonized and more decentralized energy systems. A large empirical literature has examined the drivers and barriers associated with household solar PV adoption. An emerging strand of this literature investigates what distinguishes earlier adopters from later adopters and non-adopters. However, there is yet limited understanding of the d…
Impact of a climate network
Local governments have set highly ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets on a strategic level, in some cases influenced by intermediary networks. Yet, the quantitative impacts of climate strategies or the sharing of best practices on emissions still remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of an intermediary network on municipal greenhouse gas emissions. This was done through an econometric analysis of …
