A systematic review of emerging human coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak: focus on disinfection methods, environmental survival, and control and prevention strategies

Zahra Noorimotlagh et al.

Summary: The study focused on inactivation methods, environmental survival, and control and prevention strategies of SARS-CoV-2. Results indicated that alcohol-based hand rub can efficiently deactivate the virus, and the virus may survive under different environmental conditions for 4 to 72 hours. Temperature and humidity were identified as important factors for virus survival, while hand washing and social distancing were recommended as key strategies for prevention. More research is needed to address potential airborne transmission.

Do inward foreign direct investment and economic development improve local environmental quality: aggregation bias puzzle

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: This study estimated the inward foreign direct investment (IFDI)-augmented EKCs for China's 27 provincial divisions and found that the links between IFDI and carbon emissions showed an inverse U shape for the aggregate samples, while the provincial divisions presented heterogeneous results. The findings suggested the presence of aggregation bias at the aggregated levels, and highlighted the importance of evaluating EKCs at disaggregate scales for meaningful policy implications.

Do renewable energy sources improve clean environmental-economic growth? Empirical investigation from South Asian economies

Muhammad Khalid Anser et al.

Summary: The study explores the causal relationship between renewable energy sources and clean environmental economic growth in South Asian economies. It uses panel data sets for eight South Asian countries from 2003 to 2017, employing a Hausman test, fixed effect test, and granger causality test for analysis. Findings suggest that renewable energy sources, along with other sources like hydropower, geothermal, wind, and solar, have a substantial impact on the economic growth of South Asian economies.

Heterogeneous links among urban concentration, non-renewable energy use intensity, economic development, and environmental emissions across regional development levels

Munir Ahmad et al.

Summary: The study found bidirectional positive linkages between economic development and urban concentration, a unidirectional positive linkage from non-renewable energy use intensity to environmental emissions index, and bidirectional mixed linkages between economic development and non-renewable energy use intensity. Urban concentration showed a U-shaped linkage with non-renewable energy use intensity and environmental emissions index, while economic development exhibited an environmental Kuznets curve with environmental emissions index.

Urban spatial structure and total-factor energy efficiency in Chinese provinces

Binbin Yu

Summary: International experience shows that urbanization rates between 30% and 70% signify rapid urban development, with China facing a choice between a mono-centric or poly-centric urban structure for optimal economic efficiency. The distribution of urban systems plays a crucial role in spatial resource allocation and overall energy efficiency. Regional disparities, development stages, and city sizes all impact the effects of urban spatial structure on total-factor energy efficiency, with Eastern provinces benefiting more from a mono-centric structure while overall urbanization and city scale improvements can counteract the negative impacts.

Industrial growth, clean energy generation, and pollution: evidence from top ten industrial countries

Montassar Kahia et al.

Summary: This paper utilizes panel cointegration and Granger causation approaches to analyze the relationships among CO2 emissions, GDP growth, clean energy generation, and industrial growth for the top ten industrial countries from 1980 to 2014. The study shows that clean energy generation has a statistically significant impact on reducing CO2 emissions in some countries while increasing them in others, and industrial growth also has varying effects on emissions in different countries.

Impact of energy intensity, renewable energy, and economic growth on CO2 emissions: Evidence from Africa across regions and income levels

J. P. Namahoro et al.

Summary: This study empirically examined the long-term impact of energy intensity, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions across regions and income levels over 50 African countries from 1980 to 2018. The findings revealed that renewable energy consumption contributed to mitigating CO2 emissions, while energy intensity promoted emissions across regions and income levels, and at the African level. Economic growth affected CO2 emissions negatively at the African level but the effect was mixed across regions and income levels. The study also found bi-directional causations between CO2 emissions and its determinants in African, and some regions and income levels, with unidirectional causation highly supported across regions and income levels. Impulse response and variance decomposition analysis showed that both energy intensity and economic growth counted higher variations of CO2 emissions, while renewable energy highly contributed to reducing emissions within 10 years.

IS THERE J-CURVE EFFECT IN THE TRADE BETWEEN PAKISTAN AND UNITED KINGDOM? ASYMMETRIC EVIDENCE FROM INDUSTRY LEVEL DATA

Ahmed Usman et al.

Summary: Pakistan has been struggling with chronic trade deficits and currency devaluation proves to be an effective strategy to address the gap between imports and exports. Previous studies used symmetric or linear approaches to assess the impact of exchange rate changes on Pakistan's trade balance, while this study introduces an asymmetric approach. The research findings suggest that different industries in trade between Pakistan and the United Kingdom exhibit asymmetric responses to exchange rate fluctuations.

Renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption, trade and CO2emissions in high emitter countries: does the income level matter?

Tehreem Fatima et al.

Summary: This study examines the effects of increased income and renewable energy on environmental quality, finding that increased income moderates the ratio of consumption of renewable energy to CO(2) emissions and can negatively affect the link between renewable energy and CO(2) emissions beyond a critical threshold. Empirical outcomes suggest that increased income contributes more to nonrenewable energy consumption and environmental pollution.
