“…and is significant at the level of 10%, indicating that the industrial structure supererogation can reduce the carbon emission intensity, supporting Hypothesis 5, industrial structure supererogation is conducive to improving regional carbon performance. This finding is consistent with Wang and Zhou (2020) and Su et al (2020), who showed that adjusting the production structure by promoting industrial upgrading contributes to carbon dioxide emissions reduction because the inhibition effect of structural change on carbon emissions presents an increasing marginal trend.…”

“…For this reason, this study regards the provincial region as a unit to explore regional carbon dioxide emissions and considers the impact and mechanisms of high-tech product export trade on regional carbon performance. Although there exists literature on regional carbon performance (Wang and Zhao, 2020;Zhang et al, 2008;Su et al, 2020;Dong et al, 2020), there is still no uniform definition on regional carbon performance. To more accurately understand the regional carbon dioxide emissions and propose corresponding green and low-carbon development suggestions, it is significant to select appropriate regional carbon performance evaluation indicators.…”

Export trade is a driving force of economic development, but it is also an important source of increasing carbon dioxide emissions. Against the background of suggestions of conflicts between economic development and environmental health, the proportion of high-tech products in the export trade of various countries has been rising, leading governments and scholars to focus on identifying the appropriate export structure for countries. While there is some knowledge on how high-tech product exports affect carbon dioxide emissions, the mechanisms involved in that link have not been adequately addressed in previous studies. This study is based on China’s inter-provincial panel data from 2006 to 2017, and uses the fixed effects model stepwise regression method and the bootstrap method to systematically investigate the mediating effects of industrial structure supererogation, low-carbon technological innovation and human capital accumulation, operating in the impact of high-tech product export trade on regional carbon performance. The research results show that high-tech product exports can help improve regional carbon performance. The mediating variables, industrial structure supererogation, low-carbon technological innovation and human capital accumulation, separately have positive and partially mediating effects on the link between high-tech products export trade and regional carbon performance. After considering the alternative indicator of regional carbon performance and the replacement of test method, the results of this study are still robust. The research results are instructive for an understanding of the relationship between high-tech product export trade and regional carbon performance. They highlight the important role of high-tech product exports in improving regional carbon performance, and have significance in promoting China’s green and low-carbon transition.

The decreased demand for new vehicles will put pressure on the economy of the Czech Republic, a country deeply integrated into global value chains, as part of global vehicle production. The aim of this research was to define an appropriate industrial policy for the Czech Republic that will ensure that the country maintains its competitive position in the global market. A constrained optimization model was built, based on input–output analysis, to determine the optimal value-added structure and the intersectoral structure of the Czech economy for the country to retain its exporting character. The optimization problem was solved by using a particle swarm optimization algorithm. The results suggest that the optimal industrial policy plan for the country is the structural transformation of production, mainly targeting the development of technologically advanced sectors of manufacturing (such as: chemicals and chemical products; basic pharmaceutical products; computer, electronic, and optical products; electrical equipment; and machinery and equipment). The suggested restructuring process increased the domestic value-added in gross exports as a share of total exports by 6.77%, creating optimal production capabilities for the economy. The Czech Republic appears to have the potential for the implementation of an industrial policy, avoiding the increasingly vulnerable motor-vehicle sector.

“…On the other hand, residents should reduce the use of high-carbon energy (Mi et al , 2018) and promote the use of clean energy (Peng and Liu, 2018). Secondly, we should adjust the economic structure, reduce the proportion of secondary industry (mainly high energy consumption industry) and increase the proportion of tertiary industry (Lin and Wang, 2019; Su et al , 2020). Thirdly, we should develop low-carbon technology, which is using less energy in the production process (Lai et al , 2017; Wiebe, 2018).…”

PurposeThe sustainable development of the energy–economy–environment (3E) needs to ensure the balanced interplay between the energy–economy and the environment. Likewise, creating such balance has become a critical policy issue among countries worldwide. However, in the past, studies have ignored to create a balanced interplay of the energy–economy and environment. Therefore, to address said research gap, this paper aims to develop a graph model for conflict resolution (GMCR)-based strategy for the sustainable development of the 3E to ensure better environmental quality.Design/methodology/approachTo develop a strategic framework for the balanced interplay between the energy–economy and the environment, the study used the GMCR approach and designed a mechanism for the sustainable development of the 3E to ensure better environmental quality in the context of Pakistan.FindingsThe results from the GMCR indicate that sustainable development of the 3E to ensure better environmental quality is possible when government focuses on the sustainable growth of the economy through environmental policies and the use of renewable energy.Practical implicationsBy solving the 3E conflict, this study provides policy insights for the government of Pakistan for the sustainable development of the energy economy and the environment to ensure better environmental quality in the country.Originality/valueFor the first time, this paper tried to put forward a way through which conflicting objectives can be achieved together for the sustainable development of the 3E to ensure better environmental quality.
