Special Issue on 

Industrial Economics and Sustainable Development

Industrial Economics and Sustainable Development examines the relationship between industrial growth and environmental sustainability, focusing on how industries can achieve economic success while minimizing their ecological footprint. This field explores strategies for integrating sustainable practices into industrial processes, such as energy efficiency, green technologies, and circular economy models. It also addresses the economic implications of environmental policies, the role of innovation in driving sustainability, and the challenges of balancing industrial expansion with ecological conservation. By combining economic analysis with environmental goals, this area aims to foster long-term industrial growth that supports both economic development and the health of the planet.
