Summary: Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular due to advancements in technology, cost savings, and public support for cleaner transportation. This research aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of consumer purchasing behavior in the EV market by integrating the value-belief-norm theory and the theory of planned behavior. The results of a structural equation analysis on 403 participants showed that altruistic and biospheric values positively influence awareness of consequences, while egoistic values have a negative impact on awareness of consequences. The study also supported the proposed linkages among value-based constructs, including awareness of consequences, ascription of responsibility, and pro-environmental personal norms.

Summary: Employees' green innovative behavior encouraged by enterprises plays a crucial role in sustainable enterprise development. This study investigates the influence of perceived green human resource management on employees' innovative behavior. Drawing on the planned behavior theory, it examines how perceived green human resource management impacts employees' green innovation behavior. Through a three-stage questionnaire survey and hierarchical regression analysis, it is found that perceived green human resource management directly and positively affects employees' green innovative behavior. Furthermore, green behavior intention, self-efficacy of environmental protection behavior, and identity with the company's green environmental protection system mediate this relationship. The results also reveal that there is a chain mediating relationship among these variables. Moreover, green supply chain management moderates the relationship between identity with a green environmental protection system and employees' green innovative behavior. These findings provide insights into the underlying mechanisms between green human resource management and enterprise performance, emphasizing the importance of adopting a holistic approach that incorporates green human resource management and supply chain management in environmental strategy implementation.

Summary: BEV adoption has a relatively low impact on GDP growth, but subsidies have a significant effect on GDP and BEV adoption due to their stimulus effect on household expenditures and vehicle-manufacturing-related sectors. Productivity shocks have a moderate impact on GDP and only affect BEV adoption in competitive markets. The environmental impact is more complex, as while BEV adoption leads to reduced tailpipe emissions, increased manufacturing activity can offset these savings with non-tailpipe emissions growth. Promoting BEV adoption through subsidies should be accompanied by green manufacturing and power generation initiatives to achieve desired emissions reductions.

Summary: In 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to a shift in consumer behavior towards online consumption. However, the issue of online fraud in green agricultural products undermines consumer trust and hinders the sustainable consumption of these products.

The findings demonstrate that different dimensions of environmental information transparency have varying effects on different dimensions of consumer trust, and that consumer trust has a significant positive effect on online purchase behavior. Improving the transparency of environmental information can enhance consumer trust and promote online consumption of green agricultural products.
