“…The GEE measures the overall output for both the economy and the environment and reflects green output environmental pollution costs. Specifically, the GEE measures the desirable output efficiency per unit of input costs and the environmental production process costs (Qian and Liu, 2013 ; Ohene-Asare and Turkson, 2019 ). This paper measures the GEE under constant scale conditions using the super-efficient SBM model (Tone, 2004 ; Lee, 2020 ), a method that appraises the relative efficiencies of multiple inputs and outputs (Kutty et al, 2022 ).…”

This paper uses panel OLS, IV, and system GMM methods to empirically study the effects of manufacturing and producer service corporate co-agglomeration on green economy efficiency (GEE) in China. Chinese panel data from 2000 to 2019 are collected to assess the GEE and co-agglomeration degrees. The regression results show that there is an “inverted U-shaped” relationship between co-agglomeration and GEE. However, regional heterogeneity is found in the effects of corporate co-agglomeration on GEE. The mediating analysis indicates that corporate co-agglomeration could increase GEE through business entrepreneurship and innovation entrepreneurship. Variables such as transportation infrastructure, human capital, foreign direct investment, and environmental regulations are also found to have an elevating effect on GEE, whereas local fiscal expenditure on environmental protection has little effect. The findings in this paper indicate that entrepreneurship plays an important role in the process of co-agglomeration impacting GEE which differs in different regions and thus provide references for corporate and regional sustainable development.

“…Similarly, to confront rising energy demands, the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference in Paris agreed to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with the aim of limiting global warming below 2°C by 2100 (Olmedo-Torre et al, 2018). The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has also passed an ECOWAS Energy Efficiency Policy (EEEP) and a Renewable Energy Policy (EREP) with aim of ensuring universal access to clean electricity by 2030 (Ohene-Asare and Turkson, 2018). These are a few of the several global and national efforts at ensuring sustainable practices in energy generation.…”
