Environmental performance of Turkey amidst foreign direct investment and agriculture: A time series analysis

Edmund Ntom Udemba et al.

Summary: This research examines the performance of Turkish sustainable development in the face of high inflow of foreign direct investment and excessive usage of fossil fuels. The findings show a negative relationship between carbon emission and agriculture, and a positive relationship between energy use and carbon emission. The relationship between foreign direct investment and carbon emission is mixed, indicating that foreign investors engage in both clean and dirty production in Turkey. Additionally, there is a positive relationship between GDP per capita and carbon emission.

Environmental degradation & role of financialisation, economic development, industrialisation and trade liberalisation

Muhammad Ali Nasir et al.

Summary: The study investigates the determinants of environmental degradation in Australia through a comprehensive framework of EKC and STIRPAT, analyzing the impacts of multiple factors of socioeconomic development on CO2 emissions. Short-term bidirectional causality between economic growth, energy consumption, industrialization, and stock market development with carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is found. However, long-term positive impacts of financial development, energy consumption, and trade openness on CO2 emissions are also observed, while industrialization is not found to significantly affect CO2 emissions.

The implications of renewable and non-renewable energy generating in Sub-Saharan Africa: The role of economic policy uncertainties

Festus Fatai Adedoyin et al.

Summary: Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced significant economic expansion in the last decade, with an increase in real GDP and non-renewable energy generation leading to higher CO2 emissions. However, economic policy uncertainty in the region also plays a role in driving emissions, but moderates the impact of energy generation to reduce emissions levels. This highlights the importance of implementing sound macroeconomic and energy policies in the region to mitigate environmental degradation.

The effect of energy consumption on the environment in the OECD countries: economic policy uncertainty perspectives

Abdulrasheed Zakari et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of energy use and economic policy uncertainties on the environment using PMG-ARDL methodology and Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test on 22 OECD countries between 1985 and 2017. The results show a positive relationship between energy use and economic policy uncertainties with CO2 emissions, while a negative relationship exists between renewable energy and CO2 emissions in the long run. Additionally, short-term estimation reveals a positive relationship between energy use, real GDP, and per capita on CO2 emissions.
