“…were used to construct the environmentally related tax revenues broken down by environmental domain. Additionally, the data were cross‐validated and supplemented by revenue statistics from the OECD tax statistics database and official national sources according to previous studies (Alexeev, Good, & Krutilla, ), which have also used them to measure and analyse the implications on the social sphere. Climate innovation efforts (CLIMIN) were measured as the ratio between the total patents related to climate change in agriculture (quantity and quality of crops) and biodiversity, etc.…”

Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems affecting the general population's health and wellbeing. This article analyses the role companies and public‐sector institutions play in reducing air pollution. Corporations are motivated by a social commitment and the need to improve their productive processes, while public bodies endeavour to reduce air pollution to improve citizens' quality of life. This paper drills down into the impact of eco‐innovation as a mechanism for companies to achieve this dual aim. We look at a set of 31 countries between 2006 and 2013 using fixed‐effects Ordinary Least Squares panel data methodology. The results corroborate the positive influence of corporate social responsibility on reducing air pollution. Furthermore, this influence is reinforced when environmental regulation is developed. Finally, we observe that eco‐innovations have a mediating effect on the relationship between sustainable firms and air pollution.

“…Finally, environmental policies based on taxes or fees can also be a means of raising revenue for states or even local jurisdictions (see, for example, Harrison 2013; Alexeev, Good, and Krutilla 2016). Examples include not only local emissions taxes but also congestion pricing or tolls designed to reduce traffic and the associated pollution.…”

A number of issues arise when considering the positive and normative implications of local environmental policy making. This paper provides an overview of some of the issues and implications. These vary depending on whether local jurisdictions are charged with determining the stringency of policies or instead stringency is determined at a higher level of government and the local role focuses on implementation and the design of cost-effective measures for achieving the required goals. Key issues include both physical and economic spillovers across jurisdictions, and the extent to which stringency can be differentiated based on local conditions or preferences.

“…Such support should be provided both for: general issues of effective management and development planning of newly created united territorial communities, and for specific issues, in particular, the use of community resources. In my opinion, the implementation of the approaches identified in previous studies of strategic coordination of regional cluster development [9] and institutional support for sustainable regional development [10] can promote effective interaction between regional authorities and enterprises. But these results should be applied and implemented taking into account the impact of decentralization on the sustainable development of newly created united territorial communities in the regions of Ukraine.…”

Introduction. Reforming the territorial organization of power on the principles of decentralization is one of the key areas of systemic social transformation in Ukraine. The development of a country is impossible without the development of its regions and depends on how effective and efficient is the management of human resources at the regional and local levels, which act as an economic resource and ensure its social integrity and capacity to implement reforms at the regional level. Aim and tasks. The purpose of this article is to study the impact of decentralization reforms in Ukraine, in particular its impact on management efficiency and ensuring the stability of human resources development for the balanced development of territorial socio-economic systems. Results. The paper considers theoretical and practical issues of decentralization as a process that is currently taking place in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the fact that decentralization should become a development factor for social, cultural, economic, financial, environmental and other systems, and through these systems a development factor for citizens. At the regional level, it is within the territorial socio-economic systems that human potential is concentrated and human resources are reproduced, which are a source of competitive advantage. Conclusions. The lack of rational zoning of territories and a balanced administrative-territorial structure is due to the lack of effective regional management, which should be based on the use of improved organizational and economic mechanisms for the development of administrative-territorial units. In conditions when human resources were considered not as a factor of production, but as an important resource for achieving the goals of the organization, uniting the interests of representatives of united territorial communities becomes the main principle of reproduction of human resources and balanced development of territories. To achieve the self-sufficiency of local self-government, a number of objective and subjective dangers of the development of undesirable political consequences are currently hindered. The decisive factor in overcoming the negative processes in the economy and social life of the country is the formation of personnel policy in a decentralized government, as the ability of government to manage effectively depends on the professional level of its managers.
