Summary: This study examines the impact of green creativity and business independence on competitive advantage, moderated by green IT empowerment, in creative SMEs in the Tangerang, Yogyakarta, and West Java regions. The results indicate that green creativity negatively affects the performance of sustainable SMEs but positively impacts green competitive advantage. Business independence has a positive influence on both sustainable SME performance and green competitive advantage. However, green IT empowerment does not moderate the relationship between green creativity and sustainable SME performance, weakening the link between green creativity and green competitive advantage. Similarly, green IT empowerment does not moderate the relationship between business independence and sustainable business performance, but it does moderate the positive association between independence and green competitive advantage.

Summary: This study examines the dynamic connection among economic growth, CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and foreign direct investments (FDIs). The panel section considers the period of 2000-2020 for 25 EU Member States excluding Malta and Croatia. The empirical analysis uses estimation procedures such as panel unit root tests and panel ARDL based on different estimators. The findings suggest short-run causalities from CO2 emissions, energy consumption, and FDIs to GDP growth rate, and both short-run and long-run causalities based on different estimators. The identified causalities can serve as recommendations for policymakers to enhance sustainable development in the renewable energy sector.
