Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental issues have been at the forefront of both public and scientific debate in the last few years, especially during the recent terrible pandemic. Indeed, several scientific articles have focused on various environment aspects to increase the knowledge and foster pro-environmental behaviors.
However, the real success of a scientific article is based on it having accurate data analysis that makes use of good quality data and rigorous approaches to support the conclusions.
Progress in statistical methodology and the availability of many user-friendly software provide many researchers with the opportunity to make a relevant contribution to the existing literature.
The purpose of this Special Issue of Sustainability is to collect works that present interesting empirical applications in environmental topics using advanced statistical methods. Fields of application can include air, water, energy, urban areas, green spaces, waste, biodiversity and climate change issues. They can also cover energy-saving behaviors from individuals and households and investment decisions to prevent and control industrial pollution by firms. The list of statistical methods includes, but is not limited to, machine learning techniques, decision trees, quantile regression, copula function.
We invite you to submit an original research article on this topic. Your manuscript must not have been considered for publication elsewhere.
