Ecological Kuznets curve (EKC) reveals the relationship between GHG emissions and economic growth. However, there are other factors and different channels through which the economic growth affects environmental quality. Therefore, we aim to examine not only direct (scale) impact of previously analysed factors, such as GDP, trade, foreign direct investment (FDI), urbanization, industrialization, renewable energy consumption, and energy efficiency on GHG emissions, but also to model composition and technique effects of this impact.

This article discusses the differences between incentives and forms of farmers’ collaboration in agrarian, industrial and post-industrial economies and introduces collaboration examples based on the concept of a two-sided networkas a new phenomenon appropriate for the post-industrial era.

PRI projects have large impacts on various sustainability attributes in different phases. A comprehensive assessment of these impacts for project’s life-cycle is of great importance. The proposed methodology has created the required framework for such assessment by using Concept Mapping, Focus Group, and Multi-Attribute Decision Making Techniques. Petroleum refinery industry (PRI) is comprised of a chain of expertise and engineering disciplines and is also connected to various other industries.

In scientific discourse intersectoral collaboration is recognized as an instrument for overcoming complexity of issues in public and private sectors due to its succesful application in many cases. However, it cannot give its full advantages due to the lack of understanding regarding the main affecting factors, most recent obstacles as well as different contexts throughout its application process.

Purpose - the main purpose of this scientific paper is to reveal the potential of agricultural products of Lithuanian origin to compete in ever-growing international market for Western style food. Design/methodology/approach - the methods of research employed are as follows: analysis of a scientific literature, analysis of a statistical data, correlation analysis and small sample interview.

The purpose of the article - based on analysis of statistical data to evaluate how the ratio of health friendly food crop changed before Lithuania entered EU in 2004 and after accession to the EU (2005-2017).

At the beginning, the article briefly describes the features of the marketing complex household goods. Also provides an overview of some aspects of the market for indoor air purifiers. The specific subject of the study was the process of consumer choice of house- hold appliances for cleaning air in living quarters. The aim of the study was to substantiate and develop a computer model for evaluating by the potential buyers devices for air purification in conditions of vagueness and ambiguity of their consumer preferences.

The solution of the problem of multicriteria alternative choice in the conditions of fuzzy expert assessments of compliance with alternatives to the requirements of criteria is described. We consider the situation when the rating of the alternatives can comprise several experts that form an individual system of criteria for evaluation of alternatives using numerical or linguistic form submissions.

Consumer properties of the thermal and electric energy which are the products at energy markets yield interconnections that have significant impact on the laws of energy consumption. When physical or price restrictions of the thermal energy supply are present at the power markets, the shortage of energy can be compensated by an increase in electricity consumption. At the same time, it appears that the interconnection of heat and electricity consumption largely determines the model of ower supply organization.

Understanding the nexus CO2 emissions and economic growth helps economies in formulating energy policies and developing energy resources in sustainable ways. Although during recent years, numerous of the previous studies have been very thoroughly investigated the nexus between economic growth and CO2 emissions, there is a lack of research regarding the qualitative systematic review and meta-analysis in these areas.
