“…QCA is a method of causal inference based on a difference‐making theory of causation (Andreas et al, 2017), and has been applied to a growing number of disciplines and, for more than three decades, has been extensively used in management, political science and sociology (Shin et al, 2020). More recently, it has been increasingly employed in economics (e.g., Andreas et al, 2017; Bukkavesa et al, 2021; Shin et al, 2020; Villamayor‐Tomas, 2018) and finance (e.g., Federo & Saz‐Carranza, 2018; Iannotta et al, 2016; Ponomareva et al, 2022).…”

Educational (mis)match in the context of new manufacturing: A qualitative comparative analysis study in five European countries

The article examines the interplay between shop‐floor employees' educational levels, and firms' training strategies (expressed by the breadth of the training, the extent of the advanced IT training, and skills development in collaboration with local or national technical schools), leading to multinational companies' educational (mis)match in the context of the new model of manufacturing, known as ‘Industry 4.0.’ Following a survey of 26 senior managers from different companies operating in four advanced manufacturing industries (biotech, engineering, fashion and new materials) in five European countries (Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK), a fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis (fs/QCA) is applied. The results suggest several equifinal paths to corporate educational (mis)match. The findings reveal the need for a more hybridised coexistence between tertiary education and training activities, which can emerge from the cooperation of local actors (education/training institutions and businesses together). Tertiary education, training programmes focused on advanced IT skills, and collaborating with local knowledge providers can reinforce the effect; indeed, their presence (singly or in combination) intensifying the achievement of high levels of educational match. In the absence of these conditions (singly or in combination), a broad training programme can act as a counterbalance and vice versa. Policymakers should put in place tools to enable more inclusive access to collaborations between local businesses and knowledge providers, promoting an upgrade of educational programmes to develop shop‐floor workers who are more digitally aware, and better prepared to successfully undertake non‐routine cognitive tasks. This would foster the self‐sustainability and flourishing of advanced manufacturing in high‐income countries.

“…Hence, expanding education can be used as a policy instrument to combat rising income inequality (Coady & Dizioli, 2018;Corak, 2013;Sylwester, 2000). Research indicates that both education and work experience increase the chances of engaging in start-up entrepreneurial activities, which tend to increase the standard of living (Bukkavesa et al, 2021). Literacy is also associated with better environmental quality for most pollutants in low and high-income countries (Torras & Boyce, 1998).…”

Our study aims to refine and extend the understanding of the nexus between different pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), PM 2.5, and methane (CH4) emissions, income inequality, and living adequacy thresholds. The study also elucidates the living adequacy threshold variable to determine whether people have an adequate standard of living. Thus, the analysis of both income inequality ratios and living adequacy thresholds provides a more accurate picture of the living and social conditions of the population in a country. In addition, this study considers education levels, perceived corruption, and selected industrial output measures. The fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) methodology provides various configurations for 2018. Our findings suggest that the levels of CO2 emissions are not influenced by income inequality and living adequacy thresholds in middle to upper-income countries. However, PM2.5 and CH4 emissions are impacted by high-income inequality and low living adequacy thresholds in low to middle-income countries. JEL classification codes: D63, D31, I32, N30, Q53
