“…Moreover, there are few studies in the available scientific literature on this economic sector in this field. Most often these are studies based on companies operating on Asian markets [5,6,11,60,61], which makes comparison difficult because the European metal production sector has one of the most stringent legal regulation systems, e.g., in the field of environmental protection, while Asian markets do not have such restrictions.…”

The metal industry is an important part of industrialized economies. It is not possible to imagine the development of such sectors as construction, automotive, or household appliance production without products of the metal sector. Moreover, metals are renewable raw materials, which is especially important for sustainable development. The main objective of the paper is to present management trends in metal market enterprises in Poland in the context of innovative activities. The paper characterizes this sector, presenting its importance for the Polish economy, and analyzes innovative activities of enterprises producing metals and metal products. To this end, domestic and international statistics were gathered and presented, supplemented with questionnaire surveys of a group of 112 enterprises from this sector. The presented results are broken down into small, medium-sized, and big enterprises, indicating differences in premises guiding enterprises when making managerial decisions in the field of innovation. Also, barriers to be overcome by metal sector enterprises differing in employment size are presented. The paper proves, e.g., that for all groups of surveyed enterprises, the process innovations are the most important, while product innovations are less important for small enterprises because this group of companies mostly manufactures very simple basic metal products.

“…Yi and Liu (2015) analyzed the growth situation of the green economy of China by considering variables like population changes and education level… Li and Xu (2018) confirmed that the abundance of resources in one region positively influences environmental degradation. Qin et al (2019) and Wu and al. (2019), respectively, paid attention to the role of iron and steel industries and the electricity substitution policy effect while considering the determinants of green economic growth in China's case.…”

This article examines the linear and nonlinear relationship between disaggregated public spending and green economic growth in China's case for 1993Q1-2018Q4. We used the principal component analysis approach to calculate the index of green economic growth and analyzed quarterly data through DOLS and FMOLS models. We found that public spending on economic affairs, public spending on health, inflation rate, and trade openness have a positive effect on green economic growth, while public spending on housing has a negative effect on green economic growth. Besides, the results showed a linear relationship between public spending on economic affairs and green growth; while a nonlinear relationship between public spending on housing and green economic growth, and between public spending on health and green economic growth. Lastly, the results showed that the 2015Q1 breakpoint has a negative and significant effect on green growth, while the 2008 financial crisis effect is not significant.

“…The green development index has been applied for listed companies [31], manufacturing industries [32,33], or the regional industrial economy [34] in the literature, considering the waste gas, water, and residual emissions by the slack-based measure (SBM) or the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model. The profitability and environmental management indicators of enterprises are also taken into account through regression, panel data, and other econometrics analysis methods [35,36].…”

As the market subject of China’s economic development, private enterprises play an important role in fighting against pollution and solving ecological and environmental problems. It is especially important to evaluate the green development progress of Chinese private enterprises in the epidemic era. This paper conducts a questionnaire survey on 10,623 private enterprises in 31 provinces of China, and based on 6223 industrial survey results, it focuses on the production and operation status of private enterprises in terms of pollution reduction performance, energy saving, and carbon reduction intensity in order to construct a green development progress index. The spatial Moran index test and the spatial Durbin model are used to analyze the regional correlations and influencing factors of green development progress in China. The results show that the green development of enterprises with a main business income of more than 100 million CNY and key areas such as Fenwei Plain have improved significantly in 2021, especially with the increase in a private enterprise scale, the carbon reduction regime, the pollution abatement regime, and the pollution control manner, and because the investment, profitability, and pollution discharge of private enterprises is more significant. The indexes of the provinces in the southeast coastal area and the northeastern region of China are the highest and lowest, respectively, in terms of pollution, which is demonstrated by the spatial aggregation effect on the surrounding areas by Moran local index analysis. The urbanization level and government financial support for environmental protection are just two of the negative factors regarding this issue, while the economic development level and industrial structure are positive factors that have a spatial spillover effect.
