“…The countries which proved most advanced in achieving the SDG 8 targets were grouped into separate clusters from those formed by countries which have a long road ahead towards reaching SDG 8. Our research, showing that Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden are the leaders in SDG 8 achievement is consistent with the results of other research proving that these countries are the most advanced in the attainment of not only SDG 8, but all SDGs (Kuc-Czarnecka et al, 2023).…”

Ageing populations are a challenge for public finances. The problem is recognised better at country than at local level. This study aims to analyse the impact of the ageing of populations on the revenues and expenditures of Polish municipalities, as well as on their most important components. The author performed an econometric analysis (fixed effects regression) of panel data for 2,414 municipalities between 2004 and 2019. The data for the study was obtained from budgetary statements of Polish municipalities collected by the Ministry of Finance. It was preceded by an international literature review and an analysis of demographic changes in municipalities. The demographic data came from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland.The study positively verified the hypothesis that if the proportion of elderly citizens in a municipality increases, the local budget shrinks. A decrease in revenues and spending per capita was observed, which could mean that in ageing municipalities, citizens receive fewer and/or lower-quality public services. Since public services are in greater demand among lowerincome and less self-supporting citizens, they will be influenced by the cutting of local budgets to the largest extent. The study showed that ageing municipalities tend to spend less on care homes than those where the proportion of the elderly is smaller, even though this form of care is particularly needed in ageing communities. It means that the ageing problem might deepen horizontal inequalities between municipalities. Preventing this from happening requires effective local strategies in addition to a well-devised central policy.

“…Table 11 confirms the prominence of Swedish companies in their commitment to the SDGs, reflecting the nation's proactive stance on sustainability initiatives. Furthermore, previous research [159] has highlighted several other leading countries within the EU, such as Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Belgium, Austria, and Finland, each demonstrating notable contributions to SDG adherence. Our study contributes new insights to the existing literature by delving deeper into the behavior of companies headquartered in the EU and validating the high rankings of Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.…”

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) were introduced in 2015 to advance the 2030 Agenda of sustainable development in all supporting countries. The SDGs are applicable to countries, non-governmental organizations, industries, and companies. In this article, we focus on the contribution of listed companies headquartered in the European Union (EU) to the SDGs. The EU intends to be the front-runner in the race for sustainable development and has adopted comprehensive strategies that mirror the UN SDGs. For this reason, we collected relevant data points from the Refinitiv Eikon database for 1156 companies headquartered in EU countries for the financial year 2022. The data collected refer to contributions to each SDG and the adoption of corporate sustainability policies. Data were statistically analyzed per country and sector to generate a comprehensive image of industry contributions to the SDGs in the EU. By applying a comparative analysis of country-level achievements and policies, the results point to four EU countries that are significant contributors to the SDGs through their economic activities. At the same time, other EU countries are still facing significant challenges in this domain. The socioeconomic considerations for these cases are laid out in the Discussion section. The present article offers a snapshot of corporate contributions to the SDGs as climate and geopolitical challenges become more prominent.

Three electronic vehicle China companies have developed rapidly in recent years. But they have totally different beta according to the average data of past five years. The beta of Li auto, NIO and XPeng is 0.63,1.85,2.85. Therefore, we analyze from the perspectives of policy, market, research and development and sustainable development to discover the reason behind the beta difference and industry characteristics. Since three companies are all listed, therefore, we make full use of the annual report and publicly disclosed information. After comparison, we find that Li has the lowest beta due to its small category but with a single explosive product, high sales growth and market share, electricity-oil mixed long endurance capability and low percentage of R&D cost. While NIO list medium due to its product variety but quite low endurance, medium sales growth and market share, huge power swap station but fixed cost involved and medium R&D expenditure. Finally, XPeng has the highest beta due to its wide price range, comparatively slow growth rate and market share, first one to conduct oversea market trials and large R&D cost.
