Given the fact that the Indian government has ratified several international and local agreements for expressing its willingness to promote sustainable economic growth, this study assesses the impacts of natural resource, financial development, green-energy technologies, and environmental policies on India's sustainable economic growth-related performances which is measured by the nation's multifactor productivity-adjusted level of economic output. In this regard, this study uses annual level data spanning from 1990Q1 to 2019Q4 and utilizes them for conducting advanced econometric tests. According to the long-run findings, sustainable economic growth in India is negatively impacted by natural resource consumption and positively impacted by green innovations, financial development, and environmental policy implementations. Besides, the Fourier Toda Yamamoto test's findings show that sustainable economic growth is unidirectionally caused by green innovations and financial development. These results have important policy implications, especially for India's prospects of establishing sustainable economic growth, especially by stimulating green innovations and deploying effective environmental policies. Considering the key findings, the Indian government may enhance the stringency levels of regulatory measures to curb the sustainable economic grwoth-inhibiting effects of natural resources. Further, to control the sustainable economic growth-retarding factors, the government should simultaneously scale monetary allocations for financing projects related to the development of environmental patents so that technologies can be developed for improving environmental well-being while expediting the renewable energy transition process across India.

The expansion of the economy and the use of natural resources have been identified as the main causes of environmental degradation. As a result, there is a need for sustainable and environmentally-friendly growth. However, the concept of "pollution havens" is becoming increasingly relevant, with businesses relocating to developing countries in search of more lax environmental regulations. This could lead to higher-than-desirable rates of pollution and environmental damage. To address this issue, this study assesses the role of natural resources (NTR), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), Financial Development (FDT), and Green Finance (GFN) using QARDL analysis. The study found that NTR, FDI, and FDT increased CO2 emissions, while GFN reduced them in the short and long run. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, who can use the information to develop policies that promote economic growth while reducing environmental pollution. Additionally, the study highlights the need to prevent businesses from exploiting lax environmental regulations in developing countries. Overall, the findings of this study underscore the importance of balancing economic development and environmental sustainability and call for the prioritization of green initiatives in policy development.

Akın, Mahmut Selami
PurposeThis study aims to illuminate Turkish gen Z players' intention to make in-game purchases based on stimulus-organism-response (SOR) model and uncover the distinctive role of gender. Design/methodology/approachSix hundred and ninety-six young players were included in the research who are aged 12 to 29 in Istanbul, Turkiye. Measurement validity was checked via principal component and confirmatory factor analysis. Structural model testing, mediation and multigroup analysis were conducted to test relationships among latent constructs. FindingsThe study revealed enjoyment, perceived attractiveness and economic value were positively associated with gamer satisfaction, though connectedness was not. In addition, gamer satisfaction positively affected loyalty and loyalty predicted in-game purchase intention. On the other hand, the magnitude of enjoyment-gamer satisfaction path was greater in female players than in males. However, the effect sizes of perceived attractiveness and economic value on gamer satisfaction were larger in males than in females. Research limitations/implicationsThe research focuses on freemium game context, the sample of Istanbul province in Turkey, and gen Z (12 to 29) players constituting the limitations. Practical implicationsMobile game producers should consider that enjoyment is more substantial for female players to increase in-game revenue. Hence, perceived attractiveness and economic value may be improved for male players. They could also balance the gaming experience by providing social connectivity and isolation. Originality/valueIt is the initial attempt to unveil Turkish young mobile players' behavioral tendency toward paid in-game extensions. On the other hand, gender difference is a salient matter unnoticed by other investigations that the strength of stimulus varies from players' gender discovered by the research.

Working types are one of the main issues affected by the turbulences in today's business life and should be handled carefully. Telework is developing in the shadow of information and communication technologies and has become a necessary capability for companies to adapt to today's business conditions. This study determined the importance of the factors in the telework structure with the analytic hierarchy process method. This multi-criteria decision-making method uses fuzzy numbers, which is rare in the telework literature. The results of this study in the context of SMEs show that the factors related to the work attributes significantly impact the telework capability structure. Adoption of telework by senior management as a business strategy is the factor with the highest impact, with some factors related to the culture being other factors with high impact. The fact that technological infrastructure factors did not show the expected effect was a surprising result.
