“…Das ( 2012 ) found that, in the short run, approximately 58% of all remittances inflows to Bangladesh were used for consumption. Barai ( 2012 ) argued that remittances caused an increase in the marginal propensity to consume. Similarly, Azam ( 2015 ) found that remittances increase economic growth through an increase in aggregate expenditures.…”

Empirical exploration of remittances and renewable energy consumption in Bangladesh

In recent years, a surge of remittances to Bangladesh has enabled rural households to adopt modern renewable energy sources. However, researchers have yet to examine any statistical association between remittances and renewable energy. In this study, we determined the causal relationships between per capita remittance inflows and renewable energy consumption in Bangladesh using annual data for the period 1980-2017. This is the first such study. This determination was made while controlling for changes in GDP, and employing causality and cointegration testing. We arrived at three key results. First, a unidirectional causality running from the level of remittances per capita to a level of renewable energy consumption was determined. Second, we observed a unique cointegrating relationship between the variables. Third, a short-run bidirectional causality between remittances per capita and renewable energy consumption was clarified. Important policy implications indicate that the government should create incentives for remittance-recipient households to invest remittance funds in modern renewable technologies such as solar home energy systems.

“…Sustainable distribution of goods is influenced by different factors, including technical and technological (Leleń & Wasiak, 2019), ecological/environmental (Abrutytu et al, 2014;Accorsi et al, 2017;Garnier et al, 2019), economic/financial (Benali & Feki, 2020;Brahmi et al, 2020), human factor (Filina-Dawidowicz, 2014;Santos et al, 2018), organizational (Kush et al, 2019) and other. It should be noted that appropriate policy rules and regulations should be developed to increase food safety and eliminate food losses and waste (FAO, 2019;Sonnino et al, 2014).…”

“…However, the issue of sustainable distribution of perishable goods is more complex. Considering the fact that implementation of perishable goods distribution requires to ensure the appropriate cargo transport and storage conditions (Filina-Dawidowicz, 2014;Joshi et al, 2018), it is necessary to look for more environmentally friendly solutions, allowing simultaneous reduction in transport costs and increased safety of the cargo being transported (Benali et al, 2020;Accorsi et al, 2017;Hsiao et al, 2018).…”

Nowadays, a lot of attention is given to the issues of sustainable development of transport. Transport and logistics companies, including those involved in distribution of perishable goods, undertake different activities in order to reduce negative impact of transport on the environment. The purpose of the article is to determine the principles of sustainable distribution of perishable goods and to examine the current state and plans of its principles application in business practice on the cold port stores example. Contemporary problems of sustainable distribution of perishable cargo have been identified. Marketing research was used to identify the main directions of activities undertaken by port cold stores in the field of sustainable distribution of food perishable goods. The case study of port cold stores located in Poland was considered. According to the examined cold stores, economic and organizational factors are the most important among the factors set. The challenges faced by cold port stores in their efforts to comply with the principles of sustainable distribution were recognized. Moreover, research indicates that port cold stores are aware of their role in the sustainable distribution of perishable cargoes and strive to improve its conditions. As the result of the research, the areas of possible improvements in the functioning of cold stores have been specified. The article presents a new perspective on the problems of perishable cargo sustainable distribution as a link of supply chain.

Marine fuel price differences of supply centers have a significant effect on operators’ budgets, and so are closely monitored by traders, charterers and shipowners. The aim of this study is to determine the volatility spillovers between the prices of the major fuel centers in the world and to form a hierarchical structure based on the influence and dependence powers of these centers. For this purpose, an integrated structure of causality in variance and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methods are used. The data set used in this study includes marine gas oil (MGO) prices for 8 fuel centers used extensively in the world, namely: Fujairah, Hong Kong, Houston, Istanbul, New York, Piraeus, Rotterdam, and Singapore. This data consists of 782 daily observations covering a 3-year-period between 14.04.2017 and 13.04.2020. The ISM results reveal that these fuel centers lie at 6 different levels based on their driving and dependence powers, sources of price volatility in the market are Fujairah and Singapore, and the center that is most affected by volatility is Piraeus. In addition to drawing a macro frame for the fuel market, the results obtained are thought to be useful in reducing risk in the market due to uncertainty for stakeholders.
