Amalia Minguzzi

This document provides an executive summary of a report on accelerating the transition to a circular economy. It outlines the limits of the current linear "take-make-dispose" economic model, including rising resource prices and volatility. The summary then describes the circular economy as a restorative system that eliminates waste and keeps resources in use for longer. Case studies estimate the potential annual net material cost savings from adopting circular models in EU manufacturing to be $380-630 billion by designing products for reuse, remanufacturing, and recyclability. The report analyzes examples of circular products and sectors to understand how circular models generate economic benefits and argues for mainstreaming circular approaches.

Portugal has high potential for green growth due to abundant renewable energy resources but remains highly energy dependent with a large energy intensity GDP. It has developed infrastructure for water and sanitation but faces issues like high losses in water systems. Coastal areas are economically important but suffer from artificial surfaces and erosion. Green growth strategies aim to realize Portugal's potential while addressing constraints like waste management challenges. Harnessing renewable resources through investment could help drive green jobs and economic growth.

This paper investigates the impact of human capital development life expectancy and labor productivity , energy usage, and environmental factors carbon dioxide emissions on the per capita economic sustainable development in Malaysia. We employed the adjusted net savings per capita World Bank to represent the economically sustainable development path in Malaysia. With the assumptions of possible structural breaks along the years of between 1971, and 2013, the Zivot Andrews unit root test was performed on all of the variables concerned. Following the bounds test method, we proposed the auto regressive distributed lag ARDL model for the per capita sustainable development path in Malaysia based on the impact of human capital development and environmental factors. We found that life expectancy, carbon emissions and energy usage have mixed significant effects on adjusted net savings per capita in both the short run and long run in Malaysia.

Cary Krosinsky

This document introduces the Value Driver Model as a tool for companies to communicate the business value of sustainability to investors. The model focuses on measuring the impact of sustainability on three key value drivers: 1) Sustainability-advantaged growth (S/G), which measures revenue from sustainable products/services. 2) Sustainability-driven productivity (S/P), which measures cost savings from sustainability initiatives. 3) Sustainability-related risk management (S/R), which measures performance on sustainability risks. The goal is to quantify how sustainable business strategies impact financial results like revenues and costs. Case studies show some companies already using this approach successfully.

Ellen mac arthur foundation towards the circular economy vol.1

Glenn Klith Andersen

This report outlines the economic opportunity of transitioning from a linear "take-make-dispose" economy to a circular economy where resources are reused and waste is designed out. It finds that adopting circular business models could result in annual net material cost savings of $380-630 billion for EU manufacturing sectors by 2025. Case studies show companies can benefit from designing products for disassembly, reuse, remanufacturing and recycling to reduce costs while increasing value creation. The report argues the circular economy presents a solution to risks of resource scarcity and volatility, and a way for businesses to decouple revenues from material inputs through more sustainable models.

An evaluation of_the_relevance_of_the_ak

clapton munongerwa

The document outlines the AK model of economic growth proposed by Frankel in 1962 and evaluates its relevance to developing countries like Zimbabwe. The AK model emphasizes capital accumulation and assumes technological progress occurs endogenously through learning by doing. It predicts capital accumulation will increase productivity and growth. The model is relevant for developing countries in promoting industrialization and reducing unemployment. However, it may fail to achieve desired results as it does not consider other important factors like political stability and strong institutions. It is also too general and does not provide specific policy prescriptions tailored to individual country contexts.

International Journal of Business Marketing and Management (IJBMM)

This document provides a summary of a research paper on sustainability reporting in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya. The paper aims to conceptualize how SMEs can integrate sustainable development goals into their operations based on empirical evidence. It first reviews literature on sustainable development goals and constraints faced by SMEs, such as access to funding, limited information, and high compliance costs. It then proposes a theoretical model to show interactions between business activities, sustainability agendas, and financial performance, in order to progress knowledge and guide further research. The paper argues that meaningful engagement by SMEs requires understanding how sustainability relates to both business and financial outcomes based on real data.

This document is a thesis submitted by Le Duc Anh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master's degree in Development Economics from the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The thesis analyzes Vietnam's economic growth and savings from 1989 to 2012. It employs autoregressive distributed lag modeling to examine the cointegrating relationships between gross domestic product per capita, gross domestic savings per capita, and foreign direct investment. The empirical analysis finds that economic growth Granger causes domestic savings in the long run. Additionally, foreign direct investment does not cause economic growth in either the short or long run, and tends to reduce domestic savings in the long run.
