Conclusions and Scope for Future Research:
"Energy prices affect where firms invest, but effects are limited to specific sectors and geographies.
Future research should explore firm-level responses to different environmental policies. #Sustainability#ClimateAction
This @JEEM_twits paper shows that energy price differentials influence geographical distribution of industrial investment.

Key Findings:
"A 10% increase in energy price differentials leads to a 3.2% rise in cross-border acquisitions, especially in energy-intensive industries and emerging markets.
The effects are modest for carbon pricing differences. #EnergyEfficiency"
Conclusions and Scope for Future Research:
"While gender differences in labor supply explain part of the gap, future research could explore firm-side factors like discrimination.
More on policies can better support women’s recovery post-displacement?

Conclusions and Scope for Future Research
Air pollution has hidden social costs—reduced physical activity leads to long-term health impacts like obesity and heart disease.
