Public-Private Partnership Unit
A Public-private partnership unit (PPP unit) is an organisation responsible for promoting, facilitating and/or assessing Public-private partnerships (PPP, P3, 3P) in their territory. PPP units can be government agencies, or semi-independent organizations created with full or part government support. Governments tend to create a PPP unit as a response to prior criticisms of the implementation of P3 projects in their country. In 2009, 50% of OECD countries had created a centralized PPP unit, and many more of these institutions exist in other countries.

Environmental Regulation and Employment Changes
This research investigates the impact of the Top 10,000 Energy-Consuming Enterprises Program (hereafter referred to as the carbon reduction policy) implemented by the Chinese government in 2011 on the employment of manufacturing enterprises. The research indicates that the implementation of the carbon reduction policy has two ways of impacting the employment scale, namely ‘employment creation’ and ‘employment destruction’. The actual effect of the policy on the employment scale depends on the superposition of these two effects. Based on a sample data set of Chinese manufacturing enterprises, the generalized propensity score-matching method (GPSM) is used to identify the causal relationship and its mechanism between the carbon reduction policy and the employment scale.

Property-Tax's Effect on Income Redistribution in African Countries
Tax plays an important role in the redistribution of income, and property tax is no exception. Although other taxes such as income tax play a more effective role in redistributing income due to their high revenue intake, property tax is a supporting tax to better achieve this objective for African countries. One key area that income redistribution curbs is the issue of income inequality, and, statistically, most African countries have a high level of income inequality due to their high Gini coefficient).

Impact of Intelligent Manufacturing on Total-Factor Energy Efficiency
Intelligent technology is the core driving force of the fourth industrial revolution, which has an important impact on the high-quality economic development. First, the productivity effect, scale effect and resource allocation effect of intelligent manufacturing can significantly improve the energy efficiency of total factor, and the conclusion is still established after endogenous treatment and robustness test. Second, the results of the action mechanism show that labor price distortion and carbon emission trading policy are important mechanisms for intelligent manufacturing to improve total factor energy efficiency.

Creating Value via Circular Economy in Tourism Sector
Among major international research and practice issues, the issue of the circular economy has emerged recently as “an alternative economic paradigm” to address the current needs of the present and to search for innovative solutions for the future. Sustainable tourism development has emerged as a critical issue for future development trajectories with the aim of boosting the efficient use of natural resources while producing less waste and addressing the challenges of climate change and biodiversity. A new economic concept known as the “circular economy” (CE) has emerged recently to address social and environmental sustainability issues that increasingly arise in tourism research and its practice. CE is replacing the traditional “take, make, dispose” economic model, which has become highly unsustainable.

Probability of Visiting a Protected Natural Space
Following the definition of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), a protected area is a “clearly defined geographically space which is clearly defined, recognized and managed by legal means or other efficient means so as to achieve long-term nature conservation, the ecosystem services, and the associated cultural values”. Protected areas are essentially governance systems with spatially defined areas with natural as well as cultural attributes and services managed by a group of players with different roles and institutional frameworks. These areas are organized in accordance with a variety of natural and spatial attributes that determine the conservation objectives, the protection categories, and the human activities permitted.

CSR Practices on Customer Value Co-Creation and Perception
The rapid development of digitalization has introduced greater variability and trust-related risks to the banking industry. Enhancing customers’ perception of value co-creation with banks is a critical issue that requires attention. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices have no impact on customer value co-creation in the digital context. CSR practices have a positive impact on customers’ perception of a company’s social responsibility. customers’ perception of a company’s social responsibility has a positive impact on customer value co-creation; and customers’ perception plays a mediating role between CSR practices and customer value co-creation.

Household Electricity Prices and Energy Mix
Household electricity prices can vary considerably depending on a number of economic, political and natural factors. However, households generally have limited influence on the price of electricity due to a tightly regulated market in many countries. The energy mix, the combination of energy sources used to produce electricity, can have a significant impact on energy prices. The composition of the energy mix varies from region to region and can affect the cost, reliability and sustainability of electricity.
