- PublicationThe Relationship Between Environmental Regulation, Collaborative Innovation And High-Quality Economic Development Of China’s Five Urban Agglomerations(2025-07)Fu, YingDue to industrialisation and urbanisation, the Chinese government increasingly focuses on high-quality, innovation-driven, and sustainable development. Urban agglomeration is a crucial platform for new quality productive forces and significantly fosters regional rivalry and collaboration in China. Based on the panel data of 95 cities in China from 2011 to 2021, the study assessed and compared the environmental regulation, collaborative innovation, and high-quality economic development of China’s five major urban agglomerations. Then, it analysed the impact of environmental regulation on collaborative innovation using the Tobit model. Next, it analysed the impact of environmental regulation and collaborative innovation on high-quality economic development using fixed-effects and moderating effect models. The results show that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration and the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration outperform the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration, the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration and the Central Plains urban agglomeration in terms of environmental regulation, collaborative innovation, and high-quality economic development.
- PublicationThe Dynamic Relationship Between Uncertainty In Climate Change Policy And Energy Deployment In The United States(2025-10)Raza, Syed QasimIn the current epoch, the united states of america (us) has been witnessing environmental degradation due to excessive anthropogenic activities mainly derived from intemperate energy consumption. To replenish environmental sustainability, the us has introduced several climate policies. However, these policies are unstable, and the uncertainty factor is associated with them. Hence, the us climate policy uncertainty (cpu) level has also been on the rise since the turn of the 21st century, significantly impacting the economy, energy sector, and environment. The existing literature on the cpu-energy nexus is relatively sparse and renders inconsistent findings. Also, the theoretical aspects of the cpu-energy nexus are vague. Based on the discourse mentioned above, the primary aim of this thesis is to scrutinize the influence of cpu on (non)-renewable energy deployment (i.E., energy production and consumption). In particular, the study has three core objectives. The first objective involves investigating the impact of cpu on renewable energy consumption (ren). In contrast, the second objective examines the effect of cpu on different sources of non-renewable energy consumption (nrec).
