Success determinants and institutional impact of sustainability projects in higher education
Purpose Sustainability projects in higher education institutions (HEIs) must overcome structural constraints, inadequate decision-making and internal conflicts to achieve lasting institutional impact. Although prior research has identified success factors in corporate sustainability projects, the extent to which these insights apply to HEIs remains underexplored. This study builds on business management literature to examine the determinants of s…
The responsiveness of higher education institutions to sustainability requests – results of a randomized controlled trial
Purpose Evidence suggests that universities do not fully use their potential to contribute to a sustainable future and often do not disclose efforts in this regard. This paper aims to explore whether universities are willing to share information about their sustainability progress and under what conditions they avoid disclosure. Design/methodology/approach A randomized controlled trial examined this observation. Universities were queried via an e…
Grasping Sustainability Culture in Higher Education Institutions
This study addresses the limitations of structural reforms in higher education institutions (HEIs) by emphasizing the need for a robust sustainability culture to support long‐term transformation. Despite growing interest, the concept of sustainability culture is still underdefined, leading to fragmented practices and a lack of shared orientation. To clarify this concept, the study applies a culture‐theoretical framework and combines literature re…
The distributional impact of climate policy stringency in the European Union
Environmental deterioration has become a central policy concern, reflected in initiatives such as the European Green Deal, which aim to steer European economies toward low-carbon development. While this transition is environmentally necessary, it may also generate uneven social and economic consequences. This study examines the distributional effects of environmental policy adoption and stringency in 26 European OECD countries over the period 199…
Inflation in Germany
Countries all over the world experienced exceptional inflation rates since 2021 as a consequence of global supply chain disruptions, a post-Covid-19 demand shock, and rising energy costs after the Russian Federation’s invasion in Ukraine. Germany is one particularly relevant example, given that the European Union’s strongest economy has high anti-inflation sentiments and employs relatively tight fiscal policy but nevertheless suffered the longest…
The relation between contract type and market power
Theoretical considerations suggest that production contracts systematically lead to higher market concentration and increase contracting firms’ ability to mark down farm gate prices compared to marketing contracts. Existing research on contract farming rarely differentiates market power in different types of contracts. This study investigates the impact of marketing and production contracts on farm gate prices and net profits. The analysis is bas…
