Services trade-ICT-tourism nexus in selected Asian countries: new evidence from panel data techniques

Muhammad Khalid Anser et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between services trade and information and communication technology in sustainable tourism in Asia. The research found that services trade and ICT individually promote tourism, and their interaction is not enough to erode the enhancing impact of services trade. Additionally, the effects of services trade and ICT usage vary significantly across sub-regions and quantiles.

A new perspective into the impact of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on environmental degradation in Argentina: a time-frequency analysis

Tomiwa Sunday Adebayo et al.

Summary: This research provides a new perspective on the influence of renewable and nonrenewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in Argentina using wavelet analysis. The findings reveal significant wavelet coherence in the frequency domain and contradictory correlations among variables in different time periods. The study suggests that in the medium and long term, renewable energy consumption supports environmental sustainability, while nonrenewable energy and economic growth contribute to environmental degradation in the short and long term.

Andrew Adewale Alola et al.

Summary: China's ecological footprint per capita is below the global average, but puts significant pressure on ecological capacity. The study found that economic growth has a positive effect on ecological footprint, as does fossil fuel and primary energy utilization, while renewable energy utilization has varied impacts on ecological footprint.

Beyond the environmental Kuznets curve: Do combined impacts of air transport and rail transport matter for environmental sustainability amidst energy use in E7 economies?

Bright Akwasi Gyamfi et al.

Summary: This study explores the combined effect of rail, air transportation, and urbanization on the environment, and finds evidence of the EKC phenomenon in E7 economies. It reveals that conventional energy and air transport have negative impacts on environmental quality, while rail transport and urbanization contribute positively to improving environmental quality. Therefore, policies that promote environmental sustainability are needed in the economic growth trajectory of the E7 economies.

Accounting for the combined impacts of natural resources rent, income level, and energy consumption on environmental quality of G7 economies: a panel quantile regression approach

Bright Akwasi Gyamfi et al.

Summary: This study utilizes multiple empirical methods to investigate the impact of natural resource rents and energy consumption on the environmental quality of G7 economies, revealing a significant positive relationship between natural resource rents and pollution, as well as adverse and significant effects of renewable energy consumption and positive effects of fossil fuel energy consumption on carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, income levels combined with fossil fuel use strongly affect environmental degradation, while natural resource rents Granger cause clean energy consumption within the G7 countries.

Analyzing nonlinear impact of economic growth drivers on CO2 emissions: Designing an SDG framework for India

Muhammad Shahbaz et al.

Summary: The study finds that India's economic growth pattern relies on fossil fuel and imported crude oil, making it environmentally unsustainable. Import substitution is identified as the first step to address this issue, leading to the design of a comprehensive SDG framework based on the study's outcomes.

Environmental aspect of energy transition and urbanization in the OPEC member states

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: The study finds that fossil fuel utilization has a significant positive impact on environmental degradation in the selected OPEC countries, while the negative impact of renewable energy utilization and urbanization on carbon dioxide emissions is insignificant in both the short and long run. The current energy transition policy of OPEC states is not sufficient for environmental sustainability, and the Environmental Kuznets Curve is not valid in the panel of OPEC countries. The research also shows a uni-directional causality from income level to renewable energy consumption, and urbanization strongly Granger causes fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions among the countries.

Daniel Balsalobre-Lorente et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic growth, international tourism, clean energy promotion, and technological innovation on carbon dioxide emissions in the context of five European Union nations from 1990 to 2015. It finds an inverted-U-shaped relationship between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions, while higher foreign direct investment inflows may lead to increased carbon dioxide emissions.

The implications of renewable and non-renewable energy generating in Sub-Saharan Africa: The role of economic policy uncertainties

Festus Fatai Adedoyin et al.

Summary: Sub-Saharan Africa has experienced significant economic expansion in the last decade, with an increase in real GDP and non-renewable energy generation leading to higher CO2 emissions. However, economic policy uncertainty in the region also plays a role in driving emissions, but moderates the impact of energy generation to reduce emissions levels. This highlights the importance of implementing sound macroeconomic and energy policies in the region to mitigate environmental degradation.

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between low-carbon emission and improved environmental quality in Turkey and the Caspian countries, using the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The findings show that an increase in renewable energy consumption significantly reduces carbon emissions, while an increase in trade openness significantly impacts environmental quality.

Zaid Ashiq Khan et al.

Summary: The study examines the causal relationship between Pakistan's agricultural products export, industrialization, urbanization, transportation, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, using time-series data and the ARDL model. Findings suggest that an increase in energy consumption will increase agricultural products export, while an increase in urbanization, transportation, and carbon emissions will decrease it.

Stephen Taiwo Onifade et al.

Summary: The study reveals that economic globalization has a negative impact on environmental pollution in the E7 economies, while natural resources, urbanization, and economic growth contribute to pollution. Human capital helps reduce environmental pollution and mitigate the effects of growing urbanization on environmental degradation.
