Role of distinct export strategies in regional growth. A multi-regional input-o...

The relationship between exports and economic growth is a critical aspect of contemporary economic policy at both national and regional levels. However, until recently, the lack of regional data has hindered comprehensive empirical analysis of trade at the regional level, limiting our understanding of why different strategies yield varying national and regional economic outcomes in terms of growth, income distr...

Mind (for) the Water: An Indirect Relationship Between Mindfulness and Water Co...

Behavioural interactions between the endangered native fish Saramugo, Anaecypri...

Invasive species have the potential to impact native fish through interference competition, which is especially concerning for the conservation of the valuable endemic ichtyofauna of the Iberian Peninsula. This study investigated the potential negative effect of the invasive bleak Alburnus alburnus on the behaviour of the critically endangered Iberian saramugo Anaecypris hispanica. The behaviour patterns were a...

The opportunity costs of commuting: the value of a commuting satellite account ...

Commuting affects regional and urban economies. It shapes urban areas, defines their relationships with neighboring regions, intensifies economic flows and exacerbates energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This paper sets out a proposal for an innovative commuting satellite account (CSA), integrated in a multi-regional input–output model. This framework combines commuting activities with regional dis...

Modeling commuting patterns in a multi-regional input–output framework: impacts...

The paper suggests a modeling approach for assessing economic and social impacts of changes in urban forms and commuting patterns that extends a multi-regional input–output framework by incorporating a set of commuting-related consequences. The Lisbon Metropolitan Area case with an urban re-centralization scenario is used as an example to illustrate the relevance of this modeling approach for analyzing commutin...

Greening transportation and parking at University of Coimbra

This article explores the potential contribution of integrated traffic and parking management strategies to ensure more rational use of available parking spaces, and to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by commuters traveling to the University of Coimbra main campus. An integrated modelling approach is used, including the characterization of supply and demand for parking and public tran...

Affect and the adoption of pro-environmental behaviour: A structural model

Pro-environmental behaviour (PEB) is an essential part of changing societies towards a more sustainable future. The literature on PEB has provided significant insights into how the anticipated emotions arising from specific ecological actions contribute to environmentally friendly conduct. Our research departs from these studies by focusing on general affect as a determinant of PEB. Moreover, we specify mechani...

Assessing an agri-food development strategy: a bi-regional input–output model w...

Uneven regional development is widely recognised. This paper explores the effectiveness of a regional development strategy based on the agri-food sector expansion in a laggard agriculture dependent region. We use a bi-regional rectangular Input–Output model, explicitly taking into account the methodological and policy implications of resource-constrained products. Results confirm that local transformation of ag...

Economic growth and environmental impacts: An analysis based on a composite ind...

The conflict between economic growth and the environment is complex and sharper today than ever before. Indeed, the relationship between economic growth and the sustainability of ecosystems has been extensively discussed in the literature, but the results remain controversial. This paper reviews the use of single and composite indicators of environmental damage and questions whether the Environmental Kuznets Cur...

It shapes urban areas, defines their relationships with neighboring regions, inten- sifies economic flows and exacerbates energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
