This paper reviews the existing literature on the adoption of renewable energy technologies (RETs) in reference to energy transition justice for Native American communities. Based on 31 journal articles published between 2003 and 2024, we identify twelve drivers categorized into four themes (technical, environmental, economic, and socio-cultural) and thirteen barriers classified into five themes (technical, environmental, policy, economic, and socio-cultural) to RETs development in Native American communities. We find that the socio-cultural theme is more prevalent than other themes across literature, showing that the socio-cultural dynamics are deeply rooted in the broader identity, history, and governance structures of Native American communities. Our study also finds that, among available RETs, wind energy is studied the most, followed by solar, biofuel, geothermal, and hydropower. Notably, topics on other renewables, such as hydrogen or ocean/tidal energy development in Native American communities, were the least studied. We highlight the need for additional research on all types of RETs based on energy needs, energy source preferences, and existing endowments of Native American communities. We argue that the additional research on these topics will also help foster resilient energy systems and energy sovereignty in Native American communities. Our findings further the scholarship regarding the drivers and barriers to RETs adoption, and develop strategies that Native Nations, RETs developers, and researchers can employ to ensure a just energy transition and sustainable development for Native American communities.

In this article, we propose a method for the development of a multidimensional typology of Public Urban Green Spaces (PUGSs). The approach takes account of three contexts of PUGS: site, spatial, and social. Size, land cover diversity and popularity were used to describe the site context of PUGSs, and availability and connectivity characterized the spatial context. Data from a representative survey was utilized to illustrate the social context. The typology was implemented for a big European city and its surrounding municipalities, i.e. Warsaw Urban Zone (Poland). 330 PUGSs were identified and grouped into five types. Variables describing connectivity, land cover diversity and popularity differentiated the types the best. Distance from the place of residence was not significantly important. The analysis revealed that most people prefer visiting large, diversified and well-connected PUGSs, and cover long distances to get there. Small and diversified areas are visited almost exclusively by those living nearby. Small, undiversified and unconnected green areas are poorly visited. The proposed typology helps to reduce the complexity of PUGSs and provides a comprehensive and concise approach based on numerical and measureable data, required to formulate effective land use policies.

Mortgage credit has played a central role in driving housing market dynamics. The differentiation of the mortgage market is an important embodiment of housing inequality and a dimension of social stratification. Using the Chinese Housing Consumption Survey (CHCS) data, this study aims to understand the temporal dynamics of the mortgage market and factors influencing access to housing finance in urban China, which offers important insights into housing inequality in transitional economies. Since 2013, the use of mortgage loans to achieve homeownership has become the dominant source of housing finance in urban China, with intergenerational transfers remaining crucial in influencing the development of the mortgage market. Considerable variation is found in Housing Provident Fund participation, access to mortgages and the type of mortgage among different demographic and socio-economic groups. Institutional features, such as hukou status, hukou location, party membership and employer type are crucial for securing policy-based subsidies, influencing access to homeownership and therefore generating housing tenure inequality and housing wealth inequality. At the city level, state forces affect the acquisition of Housing Provident Fund loans, whereas market forces prompt reliance on commercial mortgage loans. The scrutiny of the housing finance systems contributes to the understanding of the formation of wealth inequality in transitional economies.

The evolution of urban space from “Urban Sprawl” to “Smart Growth Policy” and further to “Green Infrastructure” underscores the pressing need to establish a precise and quantitative research framework for analyzing the relationship between urban space and ecological environment evolution. This serves as a crucial foundation for enriching theories and practices in urban intelligent management. Taking Lanzhou City as a case study, this paper employed a relatively novel research idea to analyze the dynamics between urban space and ecological environment evolution. The results indicated a growing trend in the scale and intensity of urban expansion in Lanzhou City from 1995 to 2020, accompanied by a decrease in urban landscape fragmentation. The urban expansion is primarily concentrated in the western and northern regions, with its spatial pattern shifting from a cluster-based horizontal expansion to a leapfrog development model. Over the same period, the Urban Space Ecological Risk Index (ERI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) in Lanzhou City exhibited an upward trend, with a weakening trend observed in the peripheral urban areas. Overall, the distribution pattern is characterized by “higher in the north and lower in the south”. While there was a marginal increase in the Ecosystem Service Value (ESV) in localized urban areas, a more pronounced improvement was evident in the urban periphery. Urban spatial ecological pressures were on the rise, indicating a deteriorating ecological environment. Nevertheless, human responsiveness to these environmental challenges is progressively improving. Positive correlations were observed between Impervious Surfaces Percentage (ISP) and ERI and LST, while a negative correlation existed with ESV. Lanzhou City's urban space necessitates a shift towards smarter growth in the northern direction and the augmentation of green infrastructure. This study offers novel perspectives, ideas and methodologies, for scholars, while also providing scientific references for urban planning, management, renewal, and ecological restoration.

The megaregion significantly influences spatial coordination and regional integration through complex interactions among cities; however, gaps persist in determining the roles of various administrative levels and in harnessing these interactions to facilitate regional integration. By integrating high-resolution mobile phone signaling data within a novel macro-meso-micro analytical framework, the study incorporates Degree Centrality, an improved Louvain algorithm modified to address the Matthew Effect (iLAME), and a Weighted and Normalized Gould-Fernandez (WNGF) to assess the influential roles, spatial structure, and brokerage interactions within the PRD. The result at the macro-level highlights regional imbalances within the PRD, notably the spatial mismatch between job opportunities and residential locations. At the meso-level, the community grouping result reveals discrepancies between administrative boundaries and actual community structures, suggesting that urban development has transcended traditional administrative limits. At the micro-level, the analysis accentuates the importance of brokerage roles played by multi-level administrative units. This comprehensive analysis underscores the necessity of constructing efficient transportation networks and reducing institutional distances to foster regional integration within the PRD.

This study examines the role of different types of motivation and their associated locus of regulation among German consumers, aiming to understand their adoption of ‘energy-wise’ consumption behaviors. Cluster analysis reveals distinct approaches needed to support these behaviors. Three clusters emerged: cluster 1, characterized by high autonomous motivation and low external regulation; cluster 2, showing low autonomous regulation, low external regulation, and moderate identified regulation orientation; and cluster 3, demonstrating high autonomous regulation and high external regulation. These clusters varied in their support needs from German energy providers and exhibited different habitual behaviors, with cluster 1 reporting the highest levels of energy-saving behaviors, cluster 2 requiring more nudging, and cluster 3 benefitting from a balanced communication approach to reinforce desired energy-saving behaviors. By addressing consumers' psychological needs and supporting different types of behavior regulation, more effective interventions and communication strategies can be developed to promote sustainable energy behaviors.

Dynamic Banking and the Value of Deposits

Pub Date : 2025-04-23 DOI: 10.1111/jofi.13454

PATRICK BOLTON, YE LI, NENG WANG, JINQIANG YANG

We propose a theory of banking in which banks cannot perfectly control deposit flows. Facing uninsurable loan and deposit shocks, banks dynamically manage lending, wholesale funding, deposits, and equity. Deposits create value by lowering funding costs. However, when the bank is undercapitalized and at risk of breaching leverage requirements, the marginal value of deposits can turn negative as deposit inflows, by raising leverage, increase the likelihood of costly equity issuance. Banks' inability to fully control leverage distinguishes them from nondepository intermediaries. Our model suggests a reevaluation of leverage regulations and offers new perspectives on banking in a low-interest-rate environment.

Energy consumption serves the vital purposes of meeting needs, producing goods, and ensuring comfort. Notably, Ecuador's residential sector plays a significant role in the overall energy system, accounting for 13.2 % of the total energy demand. This study delves into Quito and Guayaquil's urban residential energy demand, employing a Bottom-up approach and introducing eco-innovation as an innovative management strategy. It aims to examine disparities among household profiles regarding energy consumption and associated factors, identify relations that elucidate critical concepts such as energy expenditure and eco-innovation, and assess the extent to which eco-innovation facilitates responsible household energy consumption practices. Various factors driving energy consumption are identified, including socio-demographic features, housing arrangements, infrastructure, energy consumption patterns, and environmental awareness. Additionally, it explores cross-sectional factors such as energy costs, technological advances, cultural influences, and energy policies. Robust statistical analysis reveals significant differences between socioeconomic profiles, including ANOVA and the Tukey HSD posthoc test. Moreover, the Multiple Correspondence Analysis technique uncovers relationships between variables, shedding light on energy expenditure and eco-innovation related to household energy consumption. The findings underscore that high-income households predominantly benefit from energy subsidies, and the eco-innovation process varies based on socioeconomic profiles. This study fills a crucial gap in the literature on domestic energy consumption in urban settings like Ecuador, characterized by enduring energy subsidies. It offers a comprehensive model for understanding household behavior diversity and underscores the pivotal role of eco-innovation in fostering responsible energy consumption.

Energy-related methane (ERM) emissions constitute the primary source of anthropogenic methane emissions, attracting significant attention from policymakers and researchers globally. While existing research focuses predominantly on producer carbon emission reduction responsibility, limited attention has been paid to embodied ERM emissions transfer and inter-provincial trade-driven reduction responsibilities. This study employs Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) modeling and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) method to analyze production and consumption-based embodied ERM emissions in China. Results reveal significant embodied ERM emission transfers from energy-rich to developed provinces due to regional energy production-consumption disparities. Driving factor analysis indicates that energy consumption intensity emerges as the primary reduction driver, while economic activity effect, emission structure intensity, and population scale contribute to increased emissions, with varying provincial impacts. In light of these findings, we recommend incorporating embodied ERM emissions into provincial reduction responsibilities and developing locally tailored strategies from both production and consumption perspectives that align with SDGs 7, 12, and 13. These practical and managerial insights provide valuable guidance for emerging economies undergoing industrialization and urbanization.

Household energy usage is a primary focus of energy efficiency research due to its substantial potential for energy conservation and climate change mitigation over a long term. Policymakers worldwide have begun formulating regulations and taking initiatives to change behavior across communities. This research adopts the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to examine women’s perspectives on energy-efficient appliances (EEAs) leading to household low-carbon behavior. The model explores the role of “attitude”, “subjective norms”, and “perceived behavior control” in shaping the “purchase intent” toward EEAs. The study introduces explicitly contextual antecedents such as “environmental consciousness” that play a key role in capturing household “purchase intentions”. The study employs the structural equation modeling technique, measuring structural paths for direct and indirect relationships between multiple constructs. The findings show that “attitude”, “subjective norms”, and “perceived behavior control” positively predict the “purchase intent” for EEAs, leading to low carbon behavior, with significant moderation of “eco-literacy” in the model. Introducing “eco-literacy” as a moderator helps policymakers decide their efforts to promote environmental consciousness.
