  The mediating role of attitudes in the effect of human and environment-centered value orientation on green cosmetic product purchasing behavior: comparison of different countries

  Baltacı, Duygu Çinar; Durmaz, Yakup; Baltacı, Furkan

  The growing concern for environmental issues has reached a critical level, demanding immediate attention. With the widespread integration of cosmetic products into daily routines, the escalating environmental impact cannot be ignored. Consumers are increasingly scrutinizing the environmental footprint of their purchases and the practices of manufacturing companies. To maintain their competitive edge, businesses must proactively understand and address the evolving needs and expectations of their consumers. This study aims to reveal the relationships between consumers’ environmental values, attitudes toward green products, and green cosmetics purchasing behaviors to guide decision-makers in the cosmetics industry. In addition, the study also evaluated the impact of consumers’ cultural backgrounds on their attitudes toward green products and their purchasing behaviors in the green cosmetics sector. We conducted a comprehensive online survey by collecting primary data from 883 respondents from 10 countries in Asia and Europe. Our analysis used partial least squares (PLS) with SMART PLS to comprehensively examine the interrelationships between variables. An ecocentric orientation positively influences attitudes and purchasing behavior toward green cosmetic products, while an anthropocentric orientation has a negative effect. Additionally, consumers’ attitudes mediate the impact of environmental attitudes on purchasing behavior and counteract the negative effect of anthropocentric attitudes. Cultural differences significantly impact consumers’ attitudes and purchasing behavior for green cosmetics. The study’s findings offer valuable insights for cosmetic companies dealing with growing demand for cosmetic products and environmental awareness. The empirical support for existing literature is significant, and the study’s structural model enriches the green cosmetics literature. It’s essential to consider both consumers and producers for sustainable green cosmetic production, ensuring profitability and encouragement for producers.

  The relationship between CO2 emissions, renewable energy and economic growth in the US: evidence from symmetric and asymmetric spectral granger causality analysis

  Zuhal, Mustafa; Göcen, Serdar

  This study analyzes the relationship between renewable energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and economic growth for 1973:M01-2022:M06 in the USA. The study employs Spectral Granger Causality analysis symmetrically and asymmetrically. The symmetric causality test presents a bidirectional causality relationship between CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth. Regarding asymmetric causality results, there is bidirectional causality between positive and negative shocks of CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth. The results suggest that renewable energy consumption is essential in increasing sustainable economic growth and environmental quality for the USA.

  The role of household demographic factors in shaping transportation spending in Turkey

  Coruh, Emine; Urak, Faruk; Bilgic, Abdulbaki; Yen, Steven T.

  Factors at the family scale, for which dynamic decisions and proper investments need to be made at the national level in curbing greenhouse gas emissions, are extremely important for policymakers and investors. We provide information on the roles of how household demographic factors shape transportation patterns and spending in Turkey using the latest survey data collected by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI). Alternative sample selection models are estimated to accommodate censoring in expenditure, and the dependent single-hurdle model is found to be the preferred model as a result of model specification tests. Also, different specification tests conducted, including the error-independence test, resulted in rejection of the null hypothesis. Results suggest that the majority of the household economic and sociodemographic characteristics are important determinants of both the probability and level of transportation expenditure. Policy recommendations to curb carbon emissions and integrate environmentally friendly transport systems throughout the country are presented.
