Asymmetric impact of fiscal decentralization and environmental innovation on carbon emissions: Evidence from highly decentralized countries

Meng Lingyan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between fiscal decentralization, environmental innovation, and carbon emissions in decentralized countries. The findings suggest that fiscal decentralization has a greater impact on reducing carbon emissions at lower to medium levels, while environmental innovation is more effective at medium to higher levels. Additionally, economic growth and population increase contribute to higher carbon emissions, with varying effects across different emission levels.

Asymmetric and time-varying linkages between carbon emissions, globalization, natural resources and financial development in China

Gao Ling et al.

Summary: This study utilizes the NARDL method and cross-wavelet modeling framework to explore the long- and short-run nonlinear and time-varying associations between globalization, natural resources, financial development, and carbon emissions. Findings suggest that positive shocks in globalization and financial development have a significant positive impact on carbon emissions, while negative shocks in natural resources have a significant positive impact on carbon emissions. Wavelet transformation results confirm causal linkages between variables, varying across different time and frequency domains.

The nexus between urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, and CO2 emissions: evidence from selected Asian countries

Ahsan Anwar et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of urbanization, renewable energy consumption, financial development, agriculture, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in 15 Asian economies from 1990 to 2014. The results suggest that urbanization, financial development, and economic growth increase CO2 emissions, while renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions, with agriculture having an insignificant impact. The study recommends a comprehensive SDG-oriented policy framework for these economies to progress towards achieving SDG 13 and SDG 7 objectives, contributing to the literature by including economic growth and its drivers.

Asymmetric inter-linkages between green technology innovation and consumption-based carbon emissions in BRICS countries using quantile-on-quantile framework

Asif Razzaq et al.

Summary: The study reveals that in BRICS countries, green technology innovation has a significant emission-reducing effect at high emission quantiles, while it is weakly or positively correlated with carbon emissions at low emission quantiles. Conversely, high carbon emissions instigate green innovation across medium to high emission quantiles. The results suggest that when a country has higher emissions levels, green technology innovation can help mitigate carbon emissions.

Renewable Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions-Testing Nonlinearity for Highly Carbon Emitting Countries

Sultan Salem et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the dynamics of renewable energy consumption in the top ten highly carbon emitting countries from 1991 to 2018. The results showed that renewable energy consumption and hydropower exhibit inverted U-shaped behavior, while wind and solar energy consumption show U-shaped behavior. Forest area and patents are responsible for carbon emissions, while economic growth contributes to increased carbon emissions in the sampled countries.

Nexus between green logistic operations and triple bottom line: evidence from infrastructure-led Chinese outward foreign direct investment in Belt and Road host countries

Hui An et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between green logistics operations and economic, environmental, and social indicators in countries along the Belt and Road initiative. The research findings suggest that Chinese outward foreign direct investment improves the quality and quantity of green logistics operations, high-quality transport infrastructure and logistics services can reduce carbon emissions, and the use of renewable energy resources enhances logistics operation quality. Additionally, higher institutional quality helps mitigate social concerns.

Investigating the asymmetric linkages between infrastructure development, green innovation, and consumption-based material footprint: Novel empirical estimations from highly resource-consuming economies

Asif Razzaq et al.

Summary: Reliable resource consumption measurement is crucial for climate policy, with this study examining the linkages between infrastructure development, green innovation, and consumption-based material footprint in highly material-consuming countries. The study rejects data normality and uses Method of Moments Quantile Regression to handle non-normal data, revealing varying effects of infrastructure development and economic growth on resource consumption across different quantiles. Population shows an inverted-U relationship with material footprint.

Does globalization matter for environmental degradation? Nexus among energy consumption, economic growth, and carbon dioxide emission

Wen Jun et al.

Summary: This study reveals a positive association between globalization and CO2 emissions, as well as an increase in environmental pollution due to non-renewable energy consumption. The findings support the EKC hypothesis, indicating a rise in environmental pollution initially with economic growth, followed by a decline after reaching a certain threshold. Furthermore, it suggests government support for renewable energy sources to address environmental degradation.

Controlling environmental pollution: dynamic role of fiscal decentralization in CO2 emission in Asian economies

Cong The Phan et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the dynamic effect of fiscal decentralization on CO2 emissions in nine Asian economies and finds that fiscal decentralization has asymmetric effects on CO2 emissions. Positive changes in revenue and expenditure decentralization can reduce CO2 emissions, while negative changes in expenditure decentralization can increase CO2 emissions in the long run. Clean environmental policies and recommendations may need to be revised and proposed based on these nonlinear findings in the modern era.
