Summary: This study explores the impact of brand spillover in a co-opetitive supply chain. The results show that the brand manufacturer is inclined to choose third-party logistics when the decreased brand attractiveness is low, while they prefer the high-quality logistics of the retailer otherwise. Interestingly, the brand manufacturer may be less likely to utilize the retailer's logistics service if the retailer employs free brand spillover. Finally, managerial insights and guidance are provided to achieve a win-win outcome for the firms.

Summary: The accurate measurement and effective estimation of carbon market risk are crucial for the transition to a climate-resilient economy. Existing studies have relied on subjective judgment, which undermines accuracy and causal inferences. To fill this gap, we used the Fuzzy Cognitive Maps model to identify risk factors and evaluated risk levels and spillover effects. We found five factors influencing carbon market risk, observed risk spillover during conflict, and evidence of hedging effects. Implications are discussed for policymakers and investors.

Summary: This study investigates the efficiency of grain production in China using a spatial measurement model and Markov chain, revealing challenges such as insufficient driving force and limited growth space. The spatial spillover effect from neighboring provinces can lead to a convergence effect. Following the laws of club convergence, forming multiple overflow centers and reducing the spatial range of cold point areas is necessary for improving grain production efficiency.

Summary: This study highlights the significance of considering free-carrier absorption (FCA) in non-active layers for the design and efficiency improvement of ultrathin III-V solar cells with light trapping structures. Optical modeling shows that FCA can cause parasitic losses and reduce the current and voltage output of the solar cells.

Summary: There is a significant information spillover effect between China's real estate markets and related stock markets, and China's real estate is in a net information receiving position. After 2016, China's real estate financial risks entered a downward adjustment cycle, and financial risks have gradually declined. However, due to limited real estate financial investment channels in China, the nation's real estate markets should still be cautiously controlled and regulated to respond to potential real estate financial risk.

Summary: This study examines the spatial correlation and spatial spillover effect of e-commerce poverty alleviation efficiency in China's 30 provinces and cities. The research finds that there is a significant positive spatial correlation among regions, with higher efficiency in the east compared to the west. Industrial agglomeration is the most significant factor influencing efficiency. The study provides practical guidance for differentiated strategies in regional poverty alleviation.

Summary: Buildings play a significant role in global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Retrofitting existing buildings is crucial for improving the energy efficiency and sustainability in the building sector. This study assesses the energy performance of a retrofitted office building using the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP). A detailed energy audit was conducted, and five energy efficiency measures were implemented. The results show a reduction in energy use and a six-year payback period for the investments.

Summary: Energy systems models, particularly deep decarbonization models (DDM), are used to analyze long-term policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. An epistemological review of DDM literature over the past decade highlights the need for further studies on the potential strengths, usefulness, and limitations of these models. Proceeding with caution and striving for better models is crucial in utilizing DDMs to identify pathways for deep decarbonization of future energy systems and drawing policy conclusions.

Summary: This study examines the influence of social-psychological and behavioral factors on electricity consumption in suburban households with similar socio-economic, demographic, and geographic profiles. The analysis reveals that pro-environmental identity, values, and awareness play a significant role in explaining energy conservation behaviors, while annual income mediates conservation behaviors by negatively affecting energy curtailment behaviors and positively affecting energy efficiency behaviors.

Summary: The objective of this study is to analyze the role of energy efficiency and curtailment behaviors and examine how these behaviors are mediated by annual household income to explain overall energy consumption dynamics in US households using a nationally representative dataset. Our findings suggest that efficiency behaviors are positively correlated with the household income, but the direction of relationship between income and curtailment behaviors appears to vary depending upon specific actions. Our study provides important insights for tailored, targeted, and effective policies in residential energy saving behaviors.

Summary: In this study, the spillover effects of food, energy, and water (FEW) conservation behaviors for limiting greenhouse gas emissions and climate change were evaluated. A systematic review of 48 studies revealed a critical gap in the literature regarding the distinction between spillover effects caused by interventions and those caused by primary behaviors. A quantitative meta-analysis showed a modest but overall positive spillover effect, and further discussion focused on the theoretical and methodological challenges and research opportunities in the FEW spillover literature.
