Summary: This study examines the dynamic effects of shadow economy and environmental pollution on energy stock prices in OECD countries from 2004 to 2014 using GMM. The results show significant links between shadow economy, environmental pollution, and energy stock prices, with a U-shaped relationship between shadow economy and energy stock prices. Initial levels of shadow economy have negative effects on energy stock prices, while higher levels show positive effects.

Summary: This study aims to examine the effects of environmental taxes on employment. The results show that environmental taxes have a positive impact on total employment, but a smaller impact on female employment and a larger impact on male employment. It is recommended that governments adopt green economy policies to promote employment while also taking measures to reduce discrimination in women's employment.

Summary: Green transition is crucial for the economies of OECD countries and their shift towards cleaner production. This study develops a knowledge production function that incorporates innovation inputs, innovation outputs, and productivity with reciprocal feedback effects. The model considers productivity shocks, endogeneity of inputs, and their simultaneous and interdependent relationships. Bayesian methods, specifically Marco Chain Sequential Monte Carlo iteration techniques, are employed for estimation. Through empirical analysis using panel data from 27 OECD countries during 1990-2018, significant heterogeneity is found in productivity and its determinants. The paper also discusses the implications of these findings for OECD countries' green growth strategies.

Summary: This study examines the impact of fintech on energy efficiency using data from the OECD national panel for 2000-2018. The results show that fintech directly contributes to improving energy efficiency in OECD countries and indirectly enhances it through increasing renewable energy consumption or environmental management patents. Fintech companies specializing in the energy sector or located in North America can make a significant contribution to energy efficiency. These findings provide useful information for the development of fintech and energy efficiency in OECD countries.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between disaggregated energy use, human development, trade openness, economic growth, urbanization, and sustainability index in OECD countries from 2014 to 2019. The study employs static, quantile, and dynamic panel data approaches. The findings indicate that fossil fuels have a negative impact on sustainability, while alternative energy sources contribute positively to sustainable socioeconomic development. It is noteworthy that alternative energy sources have a strong influence on socioeconomic sustainability in different quantiles. Additionally, human development index and trade openness enhance sustainability, while urbanization poses challenges in achieving sustainability goals within OECD countries. Policymakers should prioritize mitigating fossil fuels and urbanization and promoting human development, trade openness, and alternative energy sources in order to achieve sustainable development.

Summary: This study further expands the existing knowledge on the role of economic complexity in the environment and sustainable development debate by examining its effect on environmental degradation. The results show that income facilitates economic complexity in mitigating ecological footprint, CO2 emissions, N2O emissions, and greenhouse gas emissions. The study also finds a nonlinear relationship between income and the impact of economic complexity on environmental degradation, indicating that economic complexity initially increases these environmental indicators but gradually reduces them as income rises.

Summary: Fiscal consolidation is crucial for maintaining fiscal sustainability in many OECD countries after COVID-19. This study examines the short-to medium-term effects of unexpected fiscal consolidation shocks in 24 OECD countries between 1990 and 2019 using the local projection method. Based on the baseline model, fiscal adjustment is contractionary. This effect is more pronounced during recessions, in high debt countries, in closed economies, and when monetary conditions are tight. Therefore, the decrease in the public debt ratio is relatively small. Spending-based adjustments implemented during recessions, periods of tight monetary conditions, and when the debt ratio exceeds 80% are self-defeating. Fiscal consolidations initiated during expansions, in low debt countries, when monetary conditions are loose, and in open economies can be expansionary and lead to a more significant decline in the debt ratio.

Summary: Insufficient cross-sectorial awareness in policy-making may lead to poor public health outcomes. Increasing road infrastructure investment and the Environmental Policy Stringency Index are both associated with decreased death rates from transport accidents and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Summary: This article investigates the statistical properties of economic complexity data in a group of 29 OECD countries and tests their degree of persistence using fractional integration. The results vary depending on assumptions made on the error term. Mean reversion is found in Chile only if the errors are uncorrelated, but in a group of ten countries including Australia, Canada, Colombia, France, Greece, Ireland, Israel, Norway, New Zealand, and South Korea, mean reversion is found when allowing for autocorrelation. Robust estimation is conducted using non-parametric methods and non-linear structures. Policy implications are derived from the study.

Summary: This paper investigates the relationship between education and employment level in 27 member countries of OECD over the period 1998-2019. The findings show that graduates from different education levels and the distribution of graduates have a positive effect on employment. Policymakers are advised to consider the impact of graduates from different education levels when designing education and employment strategies.

Summary: This study empirically explores the relationship between energy consumption, environmental degradation, trade, industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from 1971 to 2019. The findings indicate that an increase in energy consumption and environmental degradation promotes economic growth, but energy consumption also contributes significantly to environmental deterioration. Additionally, there is a long-term feedback effect among the different variables. In the short term, energy use, trade, and urbanization have a Granger-causal relationship with economic growth, while economic growth, environment, industrialization, and urbanization Granger-cause energy consumption. Saudi policymakers should consider the leading role of trade, urbanization, and industrialization in improving economic growth and harming environmental quality and implement efficient energy policies.

Summary: This study uses data from 1980 to 2020 to analyze the explanatory power of renewable energy (RE), green finance (GF), and public health expenditure (PUHE) for environmental quality (ecological footprint: EF) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Both linear autoregressive distribution (ARDL) and nonlinear autoregressive distribution (NARDL) models were used to examine the long- and short-term effects. The results showed that all variables have an impact on the environment's long-term quality, and there are significant positive or negative shocks in the short and long term.

Summary: Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) utilize temperature differences to produce electricity and have potential for various industrial applications. This study introduces an advanced technique that utilizes temperature gradients in water pipes to increase power generation, with efficient modulation of output power through flow control. The feasibility evaluation in residential settings shows that TEGs can generate 10.95 kWh of electricity per unit, and to achieve zero-energy buildings, 64.5 m2 of TEG deployment is required per unit given a zT value of 1.
