Pollution haven or halo? The role of the energy transition in the impact of FDI on SO2 emissions

Chang Xu et al.

Summary: The study found specific patterns of relationship between foreign direct investment and sulfur dioxide emissions, with coal consumption increasing SO2 emissions and natural gas consumption reducing them. Technological advancements were linked to increased coal consumption, leading to no reduction in SO2 emissions in China.

Asymmetric investigation to track the effect of urbanization, energy utilization, fossil fuel energy and CO2 emission on economic efficiency in China: another outlook

Abdul Rehman et al.

Summary: The research found that in the short run, negative shocks of energy usage significantly enhance economic efficiency, while positive shocks have an adverse impact on economic progress. Similarly, negative shocks of GDP per capita growth and urbanization also contribute to economic growth to a certain extent. In the long run, energy utilization has both negative and positive shocks that impact economic progress, while GDP per capita growth has a consistently positive influence.

Energy security, economic growth and environmental sustainability in India: Does FDI and trade openness play a role?

Rabindra Nepal et al.

Summary: India plays a critical role in global sustainability due to its status as one of the world's largest emerging economies, with a strong focus on energy security. The study reveals long-term linkages between energy security, FDI, economic output, carbon emissions, and trade openness in India. Encouraging energy-efficient techniques through FDI and attracting investment in renewable energy sectors are essential for reducing carbon emissions and ensuring sustainable economic development in India. These findings serve as important policy lessons for other developing and emerging economies globally.

An asymmetrical analysis to explore the dynamic impacts of CO2 emission to renewable energy, expenditures, foreign direct investment, and trade in Pakistan

Abdul Rehman et al.

Summary: The study reveals a complex asymmetric relationship between renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions, with the decreasing trend in foreign direct investment helping mitigate the adverse effects of CO2 emissions. Expenditures and foreign direct investment also have impacts on environmental quality, while the influence of trade on environmental degradation is insignificant.

Reinvigorating the role of clean energy transition for achieving a low-carbon economy: evidence from Bangladesh

Muntasir Murshed et al.

Summary: The study found that energy consumption, fossil fuel consumption, and natural gas consumption increase the carbon footprint of Bangladesh. On the other hand, nonfossil fuel consumption and hydroelectricity consumption reduce the carbon footprint levels. Economic growth and international trade are also shown to further increase the carbon footprints.

Carbonization and atmospheric pollution in China: The asymmetric impacts of forests, livestock production, and economic progress on CO2 emissions

Abdul Rehman et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of cereal crop production, forestry production, and economic progress on CO2 emissions in China. Positive shocks to cereal crop production intensify carbon dioxide emissions in the long run, while forestry shocks have no significant impact. Positive and negative economic shocks respectively boost and reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the long term.
