“…Green innovation refers to improvements on a firm’s hardware or software that is related to green products or processes (Chen and Chang, 2013; Song and Yu, 2018), including the adoption of ecological practices, reduced wastage, the use of new energy-saving technologies, recycled wastes, decreased emissions and the reduced consumption of water, electricity and other raw materials (El-Kassar and Singh, 2019; Kraus et al , 2020; Singh et al , 2020). Unlike traditional innovation that aims to meet the minimum environmental protection standards, green innovation emphasizes reducing the negative impacts of firm management on the natural environment through green processes, green products and green management practices (Carneiro et al , 2021; Chen et al , 2018; Singh et al , 2020). Extant studies have shown that executive characteristics are the main drivers of green innovation (Huang et al , 2021; You et al , 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the main effect of top executive smog risk perception on green innovation and to examine the mediating role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the positive relationship between smog risk perception and green innovation along with the moderating role of smog knowledge. Design/methodology/approach A theoretical framework is developed based on the upper echelons theory to argue that top executive smog risk perception can be closely related to green innovation. Hierarchical analysis is conducted using a sample of eight firms in China. Findings Hypothesis testing indicates that physical health risk perception and mental health risk perception positively affect green innovation, and that these effects are positively mediated by CSR. In addition, smog knowledge moderates the relationship between physical health risk perception and green innovation. Research limitations/implications The findings extend current studies on green innovation by highlighting the role of top executives’ perceptions beyond studying top executives’ attributes. The findings suggest that top executives should actively respond to smog pollution and fulfill CSR. Originality/value Previous studies have suggested that top executives’ demographic characteristics are the determining factors of green innovation. This empirical paper fills a gap in the literature by exploring the impact of top executive smog risk perception on green innovation within the framework of the upper echelons theory.

“…Only a limited number of studies examine the impact of tourism on other pollutants (e.g., NOx, PM10, PM2.5) (Russo et al 2020 ). Moreover, air pollution also negatively influences tourism demand to several destinations (Carneiro et al 2021a , b ; Peng and Xiao 2018 ; Saura et al 2018 ; Wang et al 2021 ). Nevertheless, the number of studies in this scope is very scarce.…”

The present study intends to explore the relationship between tourism growth and air pollution at a regional level for five important tourism European destinations: France, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and Italy. Most of the studies found in the literature examine this relationship on a national scale and focus only on the CO 2 pollutant, which is a greenhouse gas but not a critical pollutant in terms of air quality and human exposure. This research focuses on a regional basis (NUTS 2 classification) and takes into account the main critical pollutants in terms of urban air pollution (namely: NOx, PM10, and PM2.5), and considers 10 years, from 2009 until 2018. This work aims to investigate evidence of a tourism-induced Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for the countries through the construction of five panels, one for each country, including different variables: the Gross Domestic Product, the energy consumption, and the number of nights spent at tourist accommodation establishments from both domestic and foreign tourists. The Levin-Lin-Chu unit root test proves the variables to be stationary, while the Pedroni cointegration test shows that they are integrated. The pooled OLS estimator is employed throughout the countries to check the relationship among the variables. Results reveal that the tourism-induced EKC hypothesis is not validated for any of the countries. The findings also show that in Portugal, Italy, and Greece, there is a negative relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution, while mixed evidence is found for France and Spain. Moreover, differences in the impacts of international and domestic tourists on air pollution are found: foreign tourists negatively impact emissions, while domestic ones increase them. This result is clear for Spain, Greece, and Italy. The Granger panel causality test is then conducted to see the causality among the variables.
