Revisiting the CO2emission-induced EKC hypothesis in South Asia: the role of Export Quality Improvement

Muntasir Murshed et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of export quality on the relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in South Asian economies, and validates the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in the context of Bangladesh and India. The findings show a U-shaped association between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Pakistan, while economic growth is found to decrease carbon dioxide emissions in Sri Lanka and Nepal. Additionally, improving export quality is found to lead to lower levels of carbon dioxide emissions.

The environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for Bangladesh: the importance of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and hydropower consumption

Muntasir Murshed et al.

Summary: The study in Bangladesh on the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis suggests that natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas can serve as transitional fuels to mitigate environmental pollution by reducing carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, consumption of coal and refined petroleum oil leads to environmental degradation, highlighting the need for Bangladesh to balance economic expansion and environmental protection.

Spillover and dynamic effects of energy transition and economic growth on carbon dioxide emissions for the European Union: A dynamic spatial panel model

Xiaohang Ren et al.

Summary: Based on the empirical results, the study shows that the traditional dynamic panel model over-estimates the parameters, neglecting indirect impacts, while a significant positive spatial spillover of CO2 emissions from neighboring countries to the local country is recognized. Economic growth has positive impacts on CO2 emissions, while renewable energy has negative influences and natural gas has positive impacts. The study also provides policy recommendations for cooperation with CO2 reduction policies, promotion of green economy, renewable energy, and substitution of natural gas in the future.

Does financial development spur environmental and energy-related innovation in Brazil?

Khalid Ahmed et al.

Summary: This study addresses the gaps in the established literature on the energy-growth-finance nexus by considering the potential structural breaks in macroeconomics time-series and incorporating the impact of financial development, market capitalization, and innovation on energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions. The results for Brazil show that the environmental Kuznet's curve hypothesis holds true, with exports driving CO(2) emissions and energy demand, while financial development, market capitalization, and technological innovation reduce the intensity of these factors. Causal analysis demonstrates that exports contribute to financial development, which then leads to a decrease in CO(2) emissions through technological innovation.
