“…Upgrading the export of products requires large capital investment and highly skilled workers (Lin, 2019 ), and cost (Acharyya & Jones, 2001 ). As in Aldieri et al ( 2018 ), an increase in export quality for HIEs could bring benefits to large exporting companies, with advances in technology and increased demand for skilled workers. Therefore, increases in export quality shift labour demand towards high-skilled workers with a high salary premium (Anderson, 2005 ; Fan et al, 2015 ).…”

Previous literature has highlighted the relationship between export diversification and income inequality. The present study attempts to explore the influence of export quality on income inequality. A global sample of 92 economies consisting of 30 low- and lower-middle-income economies (LMEs), 21 upper-middle-income economies (UMEs), and 41 high-income economies (HIEs) over the period 2002–2014, is collected to create a balanced set of panel data. Using econometric techniques for balanced panel data to deal with cross-sectional dependence, heteroscedasticity, and endogeneity, we first find that the effect of export quality is negative and significant on the Gini index pre-tax and pre-transfer in LMEs and UMEs, implying that export quality reduces income inequality. Second, export quality has a positive and significant impact on income inequality in HIEs. Our findings imply that different economic policies should be considered for dealing with income inequality among different income groups of economies.

“…It is interesting to note that more recent papers underline the relationship between happiness and innovation (Aldieri et al, 2019(Aldieri et al, , 2021Dolan & Metcalfe, 2012) and much attention is devoted to a specific kind of innovation, namely ICT and Internet use in working or private life (see Castellacci & Tveito, 2018, for an extensive review). The sign of the latter relationship is questioned.…”

This study presents an agent-based model where individuals employ simple heuristics to assess their satisfaction for specific life satisfaction domains and for life satisfaction as a whole, considering reference groups of different dimensions. The objective is to evaluate whether different hypotheses on individual behaviors give different results at the macro level in the relationships between life satisfaction and some relevant variables, such as income. Results from simulations show that the relationship between life satisfaction and income has opposite signs when individuals perform their comparisons basing judgments on the mean or on the median income of their reference groups, and that the extension of the reference groups matters. A role for inequality emerges in determining the relationship between aggregate measures of income and life satisfaction. Results from simulations are validated through data from Eurobarometer for 24 European countries in the period 2008–2020, suggesting that people employ positional evaluations of satisfaction for the income domain by using the median income of the reference group as reference parameter.

“…They found that technological innovations are the most important factors that reduce CO2 emissions in China. Aldieri, Bruno, & Vinci, (2019) also presented the results that innovation accounts reduce CO2 emissions in OECD nations. At the same time, Su & Moaniba, (2017) revealed mixed results regarding INN and CO2 emissions.…”

The Impact of Eco-Innovation and Clean Energy on Sustainable Development: Evidence from USA

In recent times, natural resources have been receiving greater acknowledgment from economies as it greatly offers a compensation for energy requirements. Solar energy appears to be a strong indicator to improve quality of air by reducing CO2 emissions, which has been neglected by the available literature. Therefore, the study considers exploring the dynamic role of solar energy in CO2 emissions and economic growth in a sample of the US. We applied the QARDL approach and covered the period ranging from 1990 to 2019. Our findings showcased that solar energy mitigates CO2 emissions by increasing economic growth in different quantiles in the USA. Solar energy use is increasing economic growth at higher quantiles in the USA. Eco innovations are also contributing to economic growth by reducing CO2 emissions in different quantiles. Bidirectional quantile causality was found between the constructs. This study suggested the usage of solar energy and eco-innovations in the sustainable growth pattern of the country.
