Summary: This study examines the effects of economic policy uncertainty (EPU), energy consumption (EC), sustainable technological innovation (STI), and quality of governance on green growth (GG). It also investigates the moderating effect of STI and governance quality on the association between EPU and GG. The findings suggest that STI and governance quality have significant positive impacts on GG, while EPU and EC adversely affect GG in emerging economies. Moreover, the quality of governance and STI positively moderate the influence of EPU on GG, indicating that countries with better governance quality and promotion of STI can mitigate the detrimental effects of high EPU on GG. Furthermore, a causality analysis is conducted to explore the causal relationship between the target variables and GG, and policy suggestions are proposed based on the results.

Summary: This paper investigates the interactions among energy policy, technological innovation, economic development, trade openness, and sustainable development in China from 1990 to 2020. The findings show that renewable energy policy and technology innovation are negatively associated with sustainable development. However, it is also found that energy use significantly increases both short-term and long-term environmental damage. The study recommends that politicians and government officials focus on developing the proper energy policy mix, urban planning, and pollution prevention without compromising economic growth.

Summary: This paper compares the use of policy instruments and the deployment of offshore wind power in Denmark, the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands between 1990 and 2020. It finds that governments in Liberal Market Economies tend to use policy instruments that privatize investments and risk-taking, while those in Coordinated Market Economies use policy instruments that facilitate investments and shared risk-taking.

Summary: The recent regulations introduced by the Chinese government on big data technologies are welcomed by those concerned about the risks associated with their rapid deployment. However, these changes are not sufficient to ensure privacy and data security, and may not fully consider the disruptive nature of these technologies. This paper examines the case of facial recognition technology in China and argues that adaptive governance provides a useful framework for future policy design. Key policy measures to overcome regulatory challenges include the regulatory sandbox approach, policy mix, and stakeholder engagement.
