ABSTRACT We investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on energy efficiency for Iron and Steel Industries India. Using firm‐level data, panel fixed effects regression model shows an inverse relationship between CSR intensity, suggesting that a strategic firm's involvement in increases efficiency. In addition, businesses with higher spending tend to be more efficient; however, association is not consistently observed across all profit‐making firms. Our findings at...

Progress towards universal health coverage requires strengthening the country's system. In developing countries, increasing disease burden puts a lot of stress on scarce household finances. However, this is not same for everyone. The economic varies across groups and care levels. Government intervention vital in formulating policies addressing financial distress at level. India, even when outpatient forms significant proportion out-of-pocket expenditure, government schemes focus reducing...

It is imperative to understand the effects of climate change on household members and vulnerability level in across agricultural households for India general, eastern coastal part country particular. This study covers primary data from 150 2 blocks Kendrapara district Odisha. The unit analysis policy driven follows IPCC model Vulnerability Analysis Climate Change Adaptation Research. expanded include livelihood strategies households, order empirically assess their adaptive responses. uses an...

Rising healthcare costs and poor access to health services have become a significant concern for policy-makers; therefore, efforts must be made generate fiscal space through alternative revenue measures in resource-poor economies. This study attempts identify possible sources of India across political regimes.The followed descriptive approach examine the commitment towards sector development by estimating trend growth indicators over regimes from 1998-1999 2021-2022 using dummy variable...

We explain the relationship between energy intensity and productivity for organized manufacturing sector of India. Using data from secondary sources, we relationships at aggregate, state industry levels. The novelty this paper lies in bringing pollution loads explaining inter-industry variations intensity. Results study indicate that India has gained efficiency productivity. found heterogeneity among Indian states growth results small performed well whereas large fall paradox. dilemma...

In this article, the contributions of energy use to climate variation debates are explored. Analyses based on secondary data depict that global fossil fuel has increased and dominated world consumption supply which is quite similar Indian case. This increase in resulted higher emissions. To account for changes carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission, article follows an index decomposition analysis using from PROWESS database Center Monitoring Economy (CMIE). Two factors considered emission intensity...

This paper investigates determinants of energy and emission intensities manufacturing firms in India, from 2000 to 2014. Given that Indian sector is one the world’s most polluting sectors terms CO 2 emissions; we arrive at firm level carbon dioxide consumption three primary sources energy, namely (1) Coal, (2) Natural Gas (3) Petroleum. The results regression analysis suggest there are inter-firm differences intensity. indicate smaller larger both intensive compared medium sized firms....

This paper evaluates the performance of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) by analysing determinants trade flows Asian economies for a panel 31 countries during 2007–2014 using Gravity model. The estimated results suggest that certain FTAs negatively contribute to across region and, GDP and population, among other factors, can explain total flows. study also finds costs distance as proxy has significant negative effect on trade. Our are in-line with expectations which be drawn looking at trends in...

Rising greenhouse gasses (GHGs) emissions and growing economic inequalities have emerged as key challenges for policymakers over the past two decades problems are likely to intensify in foreseeable future. Numerous studies examined relationship between these implications on growth equity of nations. Contributing this literature, present paper examines cross country differences within BRICS economies historical GHGs emission from 1991 2018 analyzes income inequality levels productivity....

Rare earth-doped up-conversion materials have attracted considerable attention because of their various applications in solid-state lasers, color displays, bioimaging, and so forth. The emission most does not enough intensity. However, this intensity can be increased by doping sensitizers. Ho3+-doped compounds show green which applications. Here, we reported how the sensitizers Yb3+ Li+. In work, chosen Y2O3 as host, Ho3+ activator, sensitizer studied properties under 980 nm laser. metal...

Abstract The strategic business firm manages today's profitability and tomorrow's sustainability to achieve a comparative advantage in the emerging market economy. Considering India's ambitious emission reduction target rapid economic development, this study explores potential relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) energy efficiency of manufacturing firms India. Using firm‐level data, panel fixed effects model shows that CSR negatively explains intensity (EI). We observed...
