“…Using a panel cointegration approach similar to Narayan and Narayan (2008), other studies such as Qureshi et al (2015), Yahaya et al (2016), and Zou et al (2016) have employed dierent datasets to examine the relationship between environmental quality, proxied by various indicators related to air pollution, and health care expenditures. Generally, the results from these studies indicate that in the long-run, air pollution has a statistically signicant and positive impact on health care expenditures, but this estimated impact is smaller in the short-run.…”

This paper explores the relationship between episodes of contaminated drinking water and health care expenditures in the United States. The analysis relies on panel data from the 48 contiguous states from 2000 to 2011. We use the population served by public water systems that violate health-based standards of the Safe Drinking Water Act as a proxy for contaminated drinking water. We estimate spatial and non-spatial models and control for factors that may aect per capita health care expenditures including variables that reect air quality violations along with ability to pay plus demand for and supply of health care services. The results from a Spatial Durbin Model indicate that a 1% decrease in the percentage of population exposed to drinking water quality violations is associated with reductions in in-state and regional eects equal to 0.005% ($0.32) and 0.035% ($2.26) of per capita health care expenditures, respectively. Drinking water violations have a larger impact on expenditures than air quality violations (whose eects are not statistically dierent from zero). However, compared to other factors, such as Medicare enrollment and income, the impact of these violations on health care expenditures is relatively small. We nd that regional health care expenditure impacts from drinking water violations are substantially greater than in-state impacts. Thus, a regional approach is recommended to addressing drinking water quality improvements.

“…Published empirical works that have examined the impacts of environmental quality on health care expenditures are relatively rare. Available studies have used air quality as a proxy for environmental quality (Jerrett et al (2003); Narayan and Narayan (2008); Qureshi et al (2015); Yahaya et al (2016); Zou et al (2016)).…”

Advanced manufacturing technology systems have replaced traditional manufacturing systems as manufacturing industry have many technological developments in recent years. Now, the primarily concern is effectiveness of the equipment for the modern manufacturing technology systems. Though, there is a lack of empirical studies confirming this impact on business performance. Recently, manufacturing industries have adapted fit manufacturing strategies in order to enhance the system effectiveness to get competitive advantage. These strategies are mainly, lean, agile and sustainable manufacturing. This paper aims to systematically review the literature on the existing fit manufacturing strategies and their relationship with business performance from year 2009 to 2015, also to find the possible intervening variable that can influence the inconsistency of the relationships between the fit manufacturing strategies and business performance. On the basis of the findings from the systematic literature review, we suggest researchers on the in the field of operations management to investigate the mediating relationship of overall equipment effectiveness between the relationship of the fit manufacturing strategies and business performance.

“…Daily et al [30] went further to argue that top management support is critical in the introduction of cutting-edge environmental processes particularly in adequate resource provision and communication of authority in these initiatives, which was supported by the researchers [3,31,32]. These enhancements may be mirrored in explicit activities, such as environmental strategy formulation and implementation, environmental risk management, and/or specific management initiatives required by implementation (e.g., recycling activities).…”

In light of the overwhelming consumption of resources by the manufacturing sector, this paper examined three key subsystems that are critical in greening the sector. Whereas the extant literature has focused on technological development to reduce environmental damage, it has not analyzed profoundly how manufacturing processes can be greened effectively. Hence, using carefully gathered data of 299 respondents and structural equation modeling, this paper sought to investigate the mediating effect of social, environmental, and technical subsystems on the relationship between management support and sustainable manufacturing performance. The results show that management support has a positive relationship with sustainable manufacturing performance (p < 0.005), while social, environmental, and technical subsystems partially mediate this relationship. Hence, efforts must be taken to encourage management of manufacturing firms to support sustainable management performance, while at the same time supporting them to introduce innovative social, environmental, and technical practices.
