“…Therefore, the problem of selection bias and endogeneity can be mitigated. Because of the impact of quasi‐experimental research, PSM is not only used to measure the performance of policies, projects, and treatments but also often used to reduce selection bias in health research (Fier, 2003; Ibanez & Blackman, 2016; Kaiser, 2006; Oh, Shin, Kim, & Shin, 2019). In particular, Ferraro (2009) highlighted the importance of quasi‐experimental models, including counterfactual factors, in environmental policy research.…”

As environmental problems worsen, eco-innovation research has received increased attention. Korea is implementing an eco-label policy to induce eco-innovation. Eco-labeling is a type of voluntary eco-innovation. There are few empirical studies on the economic performance of eco-labels in Korea and even fewer on the additional investment in the technology used for eco-labeling. The present study quantitatively measured the effect of eco-labels on additionally generated sales and research and development (R&D) investment through propensity score matching. The results revealed that eco-labeling has a positive impact on sales over the following 2 years, which is the expiration date of certification; moreover, investment in R&D typically increased for 3 years before certification. Interestingly, no additional R&D investment was made after certification. This study is mainly a basis for the introduction of environmental certification to government policymakers or product strategists who have yet to implement a certification system.

“…A number of research had focused on the influence factors of subjective evaluation in interior spaces from the perspective of soundscape. 7,8 Moreover, other research also explored the relationship between the acoustic environment and health issues with social surveys 9–11 or auditory experiments in laboratory. 12,13 Few research focused on people’s temporal sense of the acoustic environment from the perspective of the impact of the acoustic environment on users, which could also be potential factors for health.…”

Building Acoustics

As many large buildings have been built worldwide recently, it is necessary to study how the acoustic environment in those buildings affects people in order to improve the acoustical comfort in them. The aim of this study is to explore the influence of acoustic environment on people in eight large-scale spaces, which are divided into three categories according to function, through grounded theory, and questionnaire. The results showed that "loud background noise," "large number of sound sources," "emotional change," "mixed sounds," and "sensible sound with certain spectrum component" were people's main evaluation to the acoustic environment in large-scale spaces. Based on respondents' perception, the influence of the acoustic environment in large-scale spaces could be classified into the following three aspects: emotional effect, influence on attention, and influence on thinking ability and behavior. Although the evaluation of the acoustic environment varied widely with the difference in spatial functions, same perception dimensions could be summarized.

“…6 When noise was directly evaluated based to quantity, it seems that one decibel increase during daytime is related to increases in prevalence of cerebrovascular disease by 0.66%, hypertension by 0.17% and heart disease by 0.38%. 7 One of the biggest follow-up studies at the field showed that 10 years exposure to road traffic noise was not associated with the prescription of antihypertensive drugs. A possible limitation of this study was the exclusion of diuretics from the reported antihypertensive drugs, which are usually prescribed for treatment of hypertension in clinical practice.…”
