Moving toward a green revolution in Japan: Symmetric and asymmetric relationships among clean energy technology development investments, economic growth, and CO2 emissions

Zahoor Ahmed et al.

Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of clean energy in environmental sustainability and analyzes the impact of public research and development investments on carbon emissions in Japan. The research shows that increasing public investment in clean energy research and development projects can effectively reduce carbon emissions, with investments in nuclear energy development showing more significant emission reduction effects, while economic growth leads to higher carbon emissions.

Do natural gas, oil, and coal consumption ameliorate environmental quality? Empirical evidence from Russia

Orazaliyev Kanat et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions in Russia, revealing long-term impacts while considering economic growth. Findings show that economic growth does not directly affect environmental quality, but higher consumption of oil, gas, and coal contributes to increased carbon dioxide emissions, leading to environmental degradation.

Revisiting the deforestation-induced EKC hypothesis: the role of democracy in Bangladesh

Muntasir Murshed

Summary: This study evaluates the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in Bangladesh between 1971 and 2018, considering the influence of democracy. The results indicate long-term associations between economic growth, deforestation tendencies, and democracy quality. The elasticity estimates support the validity of the EKC hypothesis for various deforestation indicators. Additionally, controlling for democracy lowers the threshold level of growth at which the impact of growth leads to environmental improvements by reducing deforestation in Bangladesh. The findings also demonstrate the combined impact of democracy and economic growth on the growth-deforestation relationship.

Muntasir Murshed et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the impacts of environmental regulations and macroeconomic indicators on the ecological footprints of four South Asian countries, finding that environmental regulations play a significant role in reducing ecological footprints and confirming the authenticity of the environmental Kuznets curve and pollution haven hypotheses. Additionally, renewable energy consumption decreases ecological footprints while non-renewable energy consumption increases them, and the combination of renewable energy use and environmental regulations further reduces ecological footprints.
