| Abstract: | After more than 350 years since the first steam-powered vehicle was invented in 1672, much has been changed in the automotive industry towards sustainable and environmentally friendly products. Nowadays, the development of a circular economy (CE) in the automotive industry has attracted the attention of many countries. The main objective of study is to understand how to approach sustainable products in the automotive industry and adapt to social needs. Through analysis and synthesis methods, the study analyzed international car manufacturers’ experience in developing sustainable products. The results indicate that there is a trend of switching to electric vehicles in the policies of international car manufacturers, while car manufacturers also set policies and regulations in accessing sustainable products for the development of CE. |

| Abstract: | Güterverkehr und Logistik sind in hohem Maße raumwirksam, werden aber dennoch in der Kommunal- und Regionalplanung nur unzureichend planerisch adressiert und nicht integriert behandelt. Planerische Strategien und Instrumente sind dazu jedoch durchaus vorhanden. Eine integrierte Verkehrs- und Standortplanung auf den relevanten Handlungsebenen kann dazu beitragen, eine nachhaltige Ver- und Entsorgung von Bevölkerung und Wirtschaft mit stabilen Lieferketten in Städten und Regionen zu unterstützen. |
| Abstract: | Freight transport and logistics have a high spatial impact, but are nevertheless insufficiently addressed in urban and regional planning and are not dealt with in an integrated manner. However, planning strategies and instruments are certainly available. Integrated transport and site planning at the relevant levels of action can help to support sustainable supply and disposal for the population and the economy with stable supply chains in cities and regions. |

| Abstract: | Energy cultures, broadly defined as shared beliefs, practices, and material preferences that shape energy-related behaviors, provide a useful framework for investigating consumption differences across population groups. We investigate how households' energy demand behavior differ across the French-German language border in Switzerland. Our empirical strategy focuses on a regression discontinuity design, leveraging the clear separation created by the language border. We distinguish between two types of behavior, one linked to mobility and another to electricity consumption. Our results indicate that electricity consumption is relatively stable across the border. On the other hand, households residing in the French-speaking region show on average a greater usage of own vehicle, measured by annual distance traveled. This difference remain significant across the language border, suggesting that cultural elements could drive meaningful differences in private car travel. While we do not find evidence for energy culture differences in electricity demand, our results point to distinct energy cultures with regards to car usage, therefore in the mobility domain. |

| Abstract: | This paper develops a household-level model of commuting that allows to examine how commuting time, wages, labor supply, and consumption decisions interact within the household, and extends traditional urban and labor market models. The theoretical model integrates static and life-cycle perspectives and allows us to examine commut- ing patterns both across households and within households over time. We employ PSID data and address the potential endogeneity between commuting time and wages using GMM. Our findings indicate that, while cross-sectional analyses suggest a posi- tive correlation between wages and commuting, this relationship weakens significantly when adjusting for household heterogeneity and endogeneity. Additionally, we high- light a positive correlation between commuting time and consumption, and between the spouses’ commuting times. We further document how commuting patterns evolve over the life cycle, with household wealth reducing commuting durations while higher earnings increase them. Our results contribute to the literature on gender gaps, labor mobility, and urban economics by providing a household perspective on commuting and labor market outcomes. |
