This study aims to explore the macroeconomic determinants of multidimensional energy poverty in China over the 2005Q1-2019Q4 period. Three composite energy poverty indices are constructed to measure the incidence of energy poverty in China using different weight sets on relevant energy indicators that capture the accessibility, availability, and af...
This study uses a new and innovative dynamic panel threshold technique to examine the relationship between inbound tourism and ecological footprint (EF). This method was applied to the 10 most popular destinations spanning 1995–2021. These findings demonstrate that inbound tourism and EF have a threshold effect. To be specific, we find that only a...

Several studies argue that agricultural mechanization has reduced employment and
wages. However, there is a lack of studies analyzing employment and income over time, especially comparing the agricultural activities. Our major argument is the structural change in the employment - from un-skilled to skilled workers which has to be understood because...

Many developing countries have highly unequal health systems across their regions. The pandemic of COVID-19 brought an additional challenge, as hospital structures equipped with doctors, intensive care units and respirators are not available to a sufficient extent in all regions. Using Data Envelopment Analysis, we create a COVID Index to verify wh...
Several studies argue that agricultural mechanization has reduced employment and wages. However, there is a lack of studies analyzing employment and income over time, especially comparing the agricultural activities. Our major argument is the structural change in the employment - from un-skilled to skilled workers which has to be understood because...
Several studies analyzed the importance of absorptive capacity (AC) to achieve economic development. However , to the best of our knowledge, no study compares the building blocks (BBs) of AC between developed and emergent economies. This paper aims to identify and analyze the impact of the BBs on AC under distinct levels of development (i.e., devel...
Since energy is one of the basic inputs for development, emerging economies should make an effort to investigate the environmental impacts of their fast economic growth. However, large emerging economies present significant regional heterogeneity that is usually uncounted for. This study uses the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affl...

O COVID-Index analisa o combate ao coronavírus em relação à utilização do sistema hospitalar, auxiliando as autoridades na tomada de decisão para a (re)alocação de recursos financeiros, infraestrutura de saúde e médicos durante a pandemia. Entretanto, esse indicador ainda não foi associado ao desenvolvimento humano regional. O objetivo deste trabal...
There is much discussion on the non-linear relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Additionally, the effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the environment are ambiguous, as both beneficial (i.e., pollution-halo) and harmful (i.e., pollution-haven) effects were found. Therefore, the literature presents no con...
Cooperativas agrícolas familiares são uma alternativa para os agricultores que não conseguem competir com grandes produtores agroindustriais, entretanto, carecem trabalhos que analisem a eficiência, sobretudo, em países distintos. Este trabalho investigou a eficiência de cooperativas agrícolas no Brasil e na Espanha em 2015, a fim de avaliar se coo...

A PRODUTIVIDADE MEDE O GRAU DE EFICIÊNCIA COM QUE DETERMINADA ECONOMIA UTILIZA SEUS RECURSOS PARA PRODUZIR BENS E SERVIÇOS DE CONSUMO. O AUMENTO DA PRODUTIVIDADE É A VIA MAIS RÁPIDA PARA ATINGIR O CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO E O BEM-ESTAR SOCIAL. TAIS GANHOS DE PRODUÇÃO REFLETEM TODA A EFICÁCIA DO SETOR PRODUTIVO, BEM COMO O GRAU DE DESENVOLVIMENTO DA SO...
