“…Sustainable consumption is inextricably linked to the conservation and regenerative capacity of natural resources, to the ability of the environment to assimilate waste without substantial impact on human health and the biosphere and to the process of generating clean energy sources and renewable materials (Ferreira et al , 2023; Miniero et al , 2014). Sustainable consumption emphasizes ethical behavior and the importance of the environment, debating the role of the individual in consumption decisions and concern for promoting more responsible behavior (Kahraman and Kazancoglu, 2019).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of sustainable consumption on the intention and effective purchase of products by young undergraduates, using the framework with the dimensions: consciousness for sustainable consumption, moral orientation and environmental concern. The authors also examined the mediation effect of intention and searched for heterogeneities on the purchase of sustainable products when discriminating by product type. Design/methodology/approach Sustainable consumption assumes ethics and environmental concern prioritization in the role of individuals to preserve natural resources threatened by global warming. Considering this, the authors developed cross-sectional research based on a sample of 265 Brazilian higher education students, which was analyzed with the use of partial least squares path modeling. Findings The results showed a positive relationship between sustainable consumption and buying intention, with mediation effects on the effective purchase of sustainable products. It was evidenced that consciousness for sustainable consumption, moral orientation and environmental concern do not lead directly to the purchase of sustainable products; they are based on the mediation exerted by the intention that purchase materializes in Brazilian, young university students. By analyzing heterogeneities, the authors found that environmental concern may translate into actual purchase when product-oriented. Originality/value This study uses the VBN theory to understand the behavioral intentions for the effective purchase of sustainable products, extending the range of sustainable consumption associating factors not analyzed in the higher education context, including nontraditional categories of sustainable products, such as textiles, furniture and wood articles. Moreover, this paper examines the mediation role of intention for effective purchase of sustainable products, identifying product categories that may translate environmental concerns to actual purchases, highlighting the importance of Brazil as an emerging economy that is a leading producer and exporter of organic foods with a growing market for sustainable products.

“…Consumption has played a crucial role in economic development (Luo et al, 2022), which is why consumption can be defined as the use of goods and services, being an essential daily process (Hall, 2011). Global consumption, human population, and economic activity have grown steadily in recent decades (Ferreira et al, 2023).…”

“…Its distinctive feature is that households have heterogeneous preferences about consumption (Nguyen, 2018). This has implications for how much inequality is relevant to consumption in the face of wage fluctuations in the economy (Ferreira et al, 2023).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the profile of academic research on blended learning in the world and propose a research agenda for the topic. Theoretical framework: Recent literature has reported good results in both student performance and satisfaction in blended learning (Dziuban et al., 2004). However, there is still much to investigate and learn about BL because it is a recent development. Method: The research is descriptive was non-experimental, the sample was calculated by probabilistic sampling, for the estimation of consumption a simple model of consumption was used a general linear regression model (GLRM) that was supported by the estimation by ordinary least squares (OLS). Results and conclusion: The results show an 83.0% degree of goodness of fit. In other words, 83.0% of the variability of consumption is explained by the variability of family income. The marginal propensity of households to consume is 62.6 percent, i.e., for each additional monthly income generated, 0.62 percent of this new income is converted into consumption expenditure, taking into account all the components of consumption, and the remainder, i.e., 37.4 percent, is spent on savings or investment, bearing in mind that the economic theory of saving and investment essentially are the same. Implications of the research: The study is important because it describes consumption at the microeconomic level, using an econometric model that explains the relationship between consumption and income. Socially, it describes consumer behavior. Originality/Value: The value of the study focuses on the analysis of income with consumption through an econometric model that describes how much of the income is destined for consumption.
