Trade Facilitation, Institutional Quality, and Sustainable Environment: Renewed Evidence from Sub-Saharan African Countries

Ridwan L. Ibrahim et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of trade facilitation and institutions on sustainable environment in Sub-Saharan African countries. The findings show that trade facilitation indicators are positively correlated with environmental sustainability, while institutional quality weakens it. In addition, the adverse effects of trade facilitation measures and institutional quality are more severe from the consumption angle than production. Therefore, establishing a well-harmonized trade facilitation procedure, supported by a sound institutional environment and a well-implemented national environmental protection law, is key to addressing the environmental issues in Africa.

Do economic development and human capital decrease non-renewable energy consumption? Evidence for OECD countries

Rafael Alvarado et al.

Summary: The study finds that economic development does not reduce energy consumption from fossil sources, but human capital can decrease the consumption of non-renewable energy. Globalization and human capital are seen as the last hope for promoting the transition to a more sustainable energy matrix in developed countries.

Green growth and low carbon emission in G7 countries: How critical the network of environmental taxes, renewable energy and human capital is?

Lin-Na Hao et al.

Summary: Through theoretical and empirical analysis, this study finds that green growth can reduce CO2 emissions, while environmental taxes, human capital, and renewable energy use can also decrease CO2 emissions. GDP growth has a negative impact on environmental quality, but green growth helps sustain environmental quality.

Linking economic globalization, economic growth, financial development, and ecological footprint: Evidence from symmetric and asymmetric ARDL

Zahoor Ahmed et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between ecological footprint, economic globalization, economic growth, and financial development in Japan using symmetric and asymmetric methods. The findings suggest that economic globalization and financial development increase the ecological footprint in Japan, while energy consumption deteriorates the environment. Higher population density decreases the footprint, and there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between income and footprint.

The role of economic policy uncertainty in the energy-environment nexus for China: Evidence from the novel dynamic simulations method

Azka Amin et al.

Summary: The study found that an increase in real income and energy intensity contributes to environmental pollution, while an increase in renewable energy decreases emissions. High economic policy uncertainty may lead to an increase in carbon emissions, reducing the government's focus on implementing environmental protection policies.

Clean energy, population density, urbanization and environmental pollution nexus: Evidence from Bangladesh

Mohammad Mafizur Rahman et al.

Summary: This study focuses on environmental issues in Bangladesh and finds that the use of clean energy has improved environmental quality, but population density, urbanization, and economic growth are detrimental to the environment. It is recommended to increase the use of clean energy to reduce environmental pollution.

Study on the long-term impact of economic globalization and population aging on CO2 emissions in OECD countries

Xiyue Yang et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the long-term impact of economic globalization and population aging on CO2 emissions using panel data from the OECD. The results show that both factors decrease CO2 emissions in the long term, confirming the effectiveness of the Environmental Kuznets Curve in OECD countries. Additionally, the study found unidirectional causal relationships from economic globalization and population aging to CO2 emissions.

How does fiscal decentralization affect CO2 emissions? The roles of institutions and human capital

Zeeshan Khan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of fiscal decentralization on CO2 emissions and finds that fiscal decentralization has a positive effect on environmental quality, which is further strengthened by improvements in institutional quality and human capital. The results also show that there are one-way effects from fiscal decentralization, GDP, human capital, eco-innovation, and institutional quality on CO2 emissions, with weaker reverse effects.
