Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The contribution of environmental economics to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is at the foundation of contemporary economic research. Environmental economics deals with the most pressing issues of today, e.g., climate change, biodiversity protection, green economy, bioeconomy, and circular economy.

It focuses on successfully applying economic analytical methods to the environment and sustainable development (SD). Economists investigate many issues related to the lack of qualitative and quantitative data and common indicators, insufficiently developed analytical frameworks for the holistic assessment of environmental changes, the insufficient spread of knowledge, and good-practice examples of using environmental economics methods for achieving breakthroughs in sustainable development. The Special Issue Advances in Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development provides the state of the art and the major achievements in environmental economics in the analysis, prediction, and best-practice case studies to achieve the SDGs. It aims to collect scientific and expert papers, providing in-depth analysis of policy frameworks and future projections, possibilities for and applications of economic analytical methods, and numerous examples of good practices of environmental economics methods used for SD evaluation to encourage policymakers and the wider interested public to more intensively use them in various fields of life and in work in different sectors. This will all achieve the primary purpose of ensuring the well-being of society as a whole.

The main aim of the study was to analyse the impact of fiscal incentives on the share of electric passenger cars in total sales in 31 European countries in 2021 and 2022. Research methods included an assessment of the active fiscal incentives and passive financial gain on fuel of owning electric over petrol-powered vehicles, calculating the ratio of these variables to the net savings in emissions, and conducting regression analysis of the impact of these two variables, as well as indicators of national wealth and the distribution of population by urbanization, on the share of electric vehicles in total sales. The most important finding of the research is that, in the countries under review, incentives are not well designed. For a saving of 1 ton of CO2 for business-owned plug-in hybrid electric sports utility vehicles, tax incentives stood at EUR 3400, as compared to only EUR 106 for small battery powered electric vehicles, with very high differences between countries. Applied panel data regressions with random effects indicated that active tax incentives had a rather low impact on the share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in total passenger car sales in 31 European countries in 2021 and 2022, while the difference in electricity price over petrol price combined with the share of the population living in houses in towns and suburbs may be a rather strong stimulus for buying BEVs (R2 = 0.452 for the total sample and R2 = 0.579 for the reduced sample). However, national wealth between countries, measured by relative final consumption expenditure per capita, had the highest impact on the share of battery electric vehicles in total sales (R2 = 0.634). The study suggests that fiscal incentives for electricity powered vehicles in Europe were too large, and neither well designed nor directed towards less wealthy households. Full article

The application of blockchain technology in the field of environmental economics is still in its inception so it is not sufficiently used in a holistic and integrated life cycle sustainability assessment (HILCSA). The capability of the blockchain to provide a verifiable and transparent record can make it a good tool in environmental economics for an agile reflection in doing business and production. The research is focused on the advantages and challenges in the inclusion of blockchain technology into a holistic life cycle assessment. Based on the existing possibilities of using blockchain technology in environmental economics and life cycle assessments (LCAs), a framework and a model for applying the blockchain in the holistic life cycle sustainability assessment are proposed. A Design Science methodology was used as a research strategy. Particular emphasis in this paper is put on risk management when integrating blockchain methodologies through environmental economics into the life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) in order to use all the advantages of the blockchain technology optimally.
