“… Kunkel and Matthess (2020) study four Sub Sahara African countries and three East Asian and pacific countries and demonstrate that the effect of ICT appears to be country specific among the countries studied. Kwakwa and Adusah-Poku (2020) investigate the industrial structure, urbanization and emissions link for South Africa for a period of 40 years (1975–2014) and find that manufacturing output affects CO 2 emissions negatively while urbanization had the opposite effect. Mekhum (2020) studied the case of ten Asian countries for the period 1994–2019 and report that application of ICT has a positive effect on environmental quality.…”

“…Consideration of South Africa is relevant for three main reasons. First, it is the largest economy in SSA and most dependent on fossil fuel (coal) for its energy supply and has the most advanced ICT infrastructure ( Kwakwa and Adusah-Poku, 2020 ; Kreft, Eckstein & Melchior, 2017 ). Second, South Africa's development is largely dependent on the Agriculture, tourism and forestry sectors which are threatened by high temperatures and rainfall fluctuations associated with climate change (South Africa Department of Environmental Affairs).…”

“…In 2021, global carbon emissions from manufacturing reached 36.3 billion tons, an increase of 6% over 2020 and the highest ever annual level. This level not only exacerbates global warming but also seriously damages the ecological environment [1,2]. These problems have seriously affected sustainable economic development around the world.…”

Government Subsidy Policy and Online Selling Strategy in a Platform Supply Chain with Green R&D and DDM Activities

Many governments actively subsidize the green activities of manufacturers and consumers to effectively realize the achievement of carbon emissions peak and carbon-neutral goals, while the development of a platform economy can effectively contribute to sustainable development. Therefore, we have modeled a platform supply chain using game theory, in which the manufacturer conducts green research and development (R&D) activities, the third-party platform conducts data-driven marketing (DDM) activities to promote green products, and all consumers have green preferences. The numerical example and empirical analysis methods are used to mine management insights. The government subsidizes the manufacturer’s green R&D, the third-party platform’s DDM, and the consumers’ green consumption. The third-party platform provides an agency selling or reselling strategy to sell products. Our results show that: (1) the sensitivity coefficient of consumers to green R&D and DDM activities has positive impacts on all members’ profits and on the green R&D level of products in the platform supply chain, with three kinds of government subsidy policies. (2) The levels of the three kinds of government subsidies mainly have an impact on all members’ profits and on the green R&D level of products in the platform supply chain with an agency selling or reselling strategy; government subsidies to the manufacturer are more conducive to improving the green R&D level of products. (3) The levels of the three government subsidies and the unit service commissioning fee for selling products are the main factors affecting the preferred selling strategy of each member and the equilibrium of the selling strategy.

“…For instance, Chen, Fan, et al (2020), Chen, Gao, et al (2020) and Wang et al (2019) considered the carbon emission as the result of economic activity and energy consumption. Kwakwa and Adusah‐Poku (2020) considered carbon emission stemming from the financial and manufacturing activities. The increasing use of the renewables may reduce the carbon emission (Tkachuk et al, 2019).…”

Over the recent decades, the evolution of the European Union (EU) agricultural system has resulted in significant structural changes in member states. Knowledge about the nature and main patterns of structural change is critical to select a sustainable development path for the EU agriculture. This paper contributes to the academic discourse on structural changes in agriculture demonstrating the nexus between socioeconomic and environmental aspects of development. In this regard, results are important to understand the contribution of the EU agriculture to climate change, because study deals with energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The research covers period from 2008 to 2018 and investigates the fundamental structural change measures, namely, gross value added, labour and agriculture-related energy emissions, in EU member states. Structural changes are investigated applying a shift-share analysis that allows calculating a performance of individual member states, compared to the EU economy. The applied shift-share model investigates the situation of individual member states employing three components. The first component tracks the development of the selected measures with the EU economy growth, the second component shows the change due to effect of economic activities and the third shows competitiveness of agriculture in member states. The shift-share analysis empowers ranking member states in accordance with their progress towards the sustainable development. Findings suggest that EU economy faces the outflow of labour from agriculture and this trend is common for most countries. The changes of gross value added and emissions for fuel combustion demonstrate both upward and downward trends. However, research results suggest that new member states often face more fundamental changes.
