    by Saad Benbachir, Sara Dassouli, Harit Satt, Assya Chraibi 
    Abstract: This study is an exploration of the premium gasoil market in Morocco. The objective of this article is to understand the consumers likely behaviour based on their respective value assessment given to premium gasoline compared to the basic one. We aim to examine the effect of personal factors along with brand-customer relationship on the perceived value they attribute to premium fuel; and how this premium value will in its turn affect their willingness and purchase intention. The hypotheses testing and analysis were conducted using structural equation modelling and data was collected based on a survey of 280 vehicle owners who live in different cities in Morocco. Our results highlight the importance of brand customer relationship and personal characteristics in positively shaping the different set of premium fuels values in consumers mind. Also, financial, social and functional values were determinants factors of customers willingness to pay higher prices for premium fuel.

  • Navigating Banking Sector Concentration and Institutional Quality for Sustainable Energy Development: Insights from Belt and Road Initiative Countries   Order a copy of this article
    by Syeda Tayyaba, Ahmed Hassan Jamal 
    Abstract: This study analyses banking concentration, institutional quality, and energy sustainability in the BRI countries from 2000 to 2023. The empirical evidence indicates that high banking sector concentration has a negative effect on energy sustainability while high institutional quality has multiplier effect on energy sustainability. In addition, institutional quality was found to influence the ability to reduce the negative impacts of banking concentration on energy sustainability significantly. The study underscores that there is the need to link financial diversification and corporate governance to enhance sustainable energy. Hence, the results of this study offer relevant information for policy formulation for sustainable energy and economic development using sound institutions for related countries financial institutions. Also, the study establishes the positive externality of robust institutions in achieving sustainable energy goals thus leading to minimum environmental problems as well as supporting steady economic growth.
    Keywords: Banking Sector Concentration; Energy Sustainability; Institutional Quality; Belt and Road Initiative; Financial Diversification and Environmental Impact.
