Inside the world of stepsiblings: Linking global production networks to sustainable supply chain management
(2023-07-31)
The theoretical foundation of (sustainable) supply chain management (SSCM) is an issue of frequent debate. Integrating it with the Global Production Networks (GPN), which is a kind of stepsibling, can help expanding the theoretical foundations of SSCM. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the GPN approach links to SSCM in analysing and explaining interorganizational sustainability. This paper is conceptual. Five central GPN constructs are identified: (1) the emerging supply chain structures and sustainability; ...

Does intense tax competition boost public acceptance for inter-municipal cooperation? Evidence from a survey among German citizens and local politicians
(2024-03-28)
Intense tax competition among local governments limits their potential for tax revenues. Inter-municipal cooperation (IMC) in general and joint business parks in particular constitute a platform to coordinate local tax rates with neighboring municipalities to reduce tax competition. We ask whether local politicians and citizens are aware of this logic and whether they account for it. Using survey data from German municipalities, we find citizens’ support for joint business parks to increase in the intensity of tax ...

Acceptance of demand-side flexibility in the residential heating sector — Evidence from a stated choice experiment in Germany
(2024-05-22)
The growing share of renewables and the electrification of the transport and heating sectors are increasingly leading to an imbalance between electricity supply and demand in the distribution grids at the regional and local level. While the supply side is becoming increasingly flexible and volatile, the demand side is largely rigid and inflexible, especially at the household level. However, households have great potential to provide flexibility for grid stability by matching their electricity demand to supply. In ...
