“…The transmission of monetary policy to articles has been studied extensively on how monetary policy is transmitted to business practices and financial markets, based on event research methodologies (Oliveira et al 2020 ). Most studies have focused on government debt yields (Sun 2020 ), stock market index profitability (Ali et al 2021 ; Guo et al 2020 ), exchange rates (Im et al 2020 ; Matkovskyy et al 2020 ), and the spread of credit default swaps (Ali and Erenstein 2017 ; Anser et al 2020 ; Chandio et al 2020 ; Ríos and Olaya 2018 ; Zhang et al 2019 ).…”

The COVID-19 outbreak significantly affected the global economy and energy markets. To mitigate the shock, maintain financial market stability, and encourage economic recovery, this study investigates the influence of post-COVID-19 on monetary policy transmission to business practices and financial market indicators for green economic recovery. We utilised 37 Asian markets’ panel data from 1 January 2020, through 30 December 2020. The empirical findings demonstrate that the pandemic’s emergence impeded monetary policy transmission, business practices, and financial markets. Our empirical contribution is to examine the size, sectoral allocation, and implementation options of three leading countries’ (China, Japan, and Thailand) green recovery spending plans, which range significantly. However, this effect mainly affects the medium-and-long-term effects, and short-term spillover effects are primarily unaffected by Asian monetary policy uncertainty. Our findings have significant implications for green economic recovery among market players and regulators in the Asian market.

“…The theory of GDBP-IE has received widespread attention since its emergence. It is applied to support various research viewpoints, e.g., the social performance of mining firms [ 48 ], green investment decisions of the manufacturer [ 49 ], green development system models [ 1 ], green development reporting framework for enterprises [ 50 ], identification of critical factors in construction and demolition waste recycling [ 51 ] and renewable energy and green economic growth [ 52 ]. Researchers have used the theory of GDBP-IE in many areas of industrial enterprises, but these studies cannot clearly reveal the mechanism of GDBP-IE.…”

Although the theory of green development behavior and performance of industrial enterprises (GDBP-IE) reveals that the green development behavior (GDB) of industrial enterprises is affected by internal and external factors and produces performance, it lacks a clear mechanism. This paper aims to verify the theory of GDBP-IE and reveals the mechanism of GDBP-IE in the Chinese context. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method was used to analyze valid samples of Chinese industrial enterprises (N = 615). The empirical conclusions are as follows. (1) Corporate tangible resources, corporate intangible resources (CIR), market environment, public supervision and policy and institutional environment (PIE) have a significant positive effect on GDB (i.e., green supply chain management practice and clean production behavior). (2) Compared with other factors, the positive effect of CIR on GDB is the strongest. (3) The level of positive effect of PIE on GDB is not as significant as other factors. (4) GDB has a significant positive effect on green development performance (i.e., corporate social performance, corporate financial performance and corporate environmental performance). This paper provides effective evidence for researchers to use other methods to further verify the theory of GDBP-IE in the Chinese context. This paper also provides an opportunity for cluster analysis of GDBP-IE in different countries or regions. In addition, this paper not only gives a targeted reference for the government to formulate guidelines concerning the green development of industrial enterprises but also encourages industrial enterprise managers to formulate green development strategies, which is a way to help industrial enterprise managers and workers to participate in and comply with GDB.

“…At last, the application of the 'Benefit-of-the-Doubt'-based performance assessment methodology for studying convergence in the selected MDMUO setting between 2001 and 2015 (the first and last full years of the MDG agenda) returned the findings presented in Table 2. Note that, following Oliveira et al (2020), instances of missing data (retrieved from the UN's official site for the MDG indicators at http://mdgs.un.org/unsd/mdg/Data.aspx) were replaced by the corresponding values from the previous year(s); otherwise, when unavailable, we have resorted to the worst performance of the sample in that specific indicator. Worldwide, on average, all UN Member States converged in both senses from 2001 to 2015, i.e., they were able to simultaneously decrease the performance spread surrounding the BPF (Ethiopia, Mali, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, and Papua New Guinea revealed an EC ) 1, while the Central African Republic, Comoros, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Yemen, Colombia, and Haiti exhibited an EC ( 1) and decrease the gap between the BPF and the WPF in that interval.…”

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) brought many countries closer to the best practices in several sectors. However, regarding water and sanitation services (WSS), the evolution from the original Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is not yet understood. Therefore, analysing whether low- and middle-income nations were able to converge in terms of WSS is fundamental for policy-making. Here, we propose a benchmarking exercise aimed at assessing the performance of 123 low- and middle-income UN Member States regarding WSS development targets over the 2001–2015 period of MDG pursuance. In the end, we show that, on average, the assessed Member States were already fully convergent before the implementation of the SDGs, despite further improvements with the latter. Additionally, we show that all UN regional groupings were able to decrease not only the performance spread of their Member States, but also the gap between the best practice frontier and the worst practice frontier. Besides, the Proportion of population using an improved drinking water source was the indicator with the highest performance growth in the considered period.
