Parameter investigation for urban surface‐energy balance: A large‐eddy simulation study

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Large eddy simulation modelling is used to investigate the variation in surface‐energy balance (SEB) across an ensemble of morphometrically identical urban geometries. The geometries have the same plan‐area fraction, vegetated fraction, and frontal‐area index, but are unique in terms of building and green‐space layout.

Simulating the influence of microclimatic design on mitigating the urban heat island effect in the Hangzhou metropolitan area of China [PDF]

, 2016
There are many indications that Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a significant contributor to the increased emission of greenhouse gases due to the increase in energy consumption for cooling during summer. Hangzhou is currently the second hottest city in China,

Distributional and Tail‐Dependent Perspectives in Economic Relationships: A Review of Quantile Regression Application

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is an increased proportion of studies using quantile‐based regression methodology (QR) in economics. They offer a robust alternative to classical mean regressions, which can estimate non‐normal variables with distributional heterogeneity in the dependent variable.

Do Environmental Certifications Pay? A Bibliometric and Systematic Review of Environmental Management Systems and Eco‐Label Impacts

Business Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 4459-4483, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how environmental certifications—specifically, formal environmental management systems (EMSs) (ISO 14001, EMAS), and consumer‐facing eco‐labels—influence firm financial performance. Using a dual approach that includes a bibliometric review and a systematic analysis of key studies, we identify key trends, theoretical ...
