The environmental Kuznets curve, based on the economic complexity, and the pollution haven hypothesis in PIIGS countries

Daniel Balsalobre-Lorente et al.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamic association between economic complexity, foreign direct investment, renewable energy, urbanization process, and carbon emissions in PIIGS countries. The results show an inverted-U and further N-shaped relationship between economic complexity and CO2 emissions, confirming the presence of the environmental Kuznets curve hypotheses. The findings also support the pollution haven hypothesis and reveal the inhibiting effect of renewable energy on CO2 emissions. Urbanization process exerts significant pressure on environmental quality. Additionally, a bidirectional causal link is found between economic complexity and CO2 emissions.

Dynamic association between ICT, renewable energy, economic complexity and ecological footprint: Is there any difference between E-7 (developing) and G-7 (developed) countries?

Yongming Huang et al.

Summary: This empirical research investigates the relationship between ICT, renewable energy, economic complexity, human capital, financial development, and ecological footprint in E-7 and G-7 countries from 1995 to 2018. The findings suggest that ICT, economic complexity, and human capital increase pollution levels, while renewable energy significantly reduces them. In G-7 countries, all factors except financial development improve environmental quality. Additionally, the interaction between ICT and human capital reduces the ecological footprint level in both panel countries.

Environmental concern in the era of industrialization: Can financial development, renewable energy and natural resources alleviate some load?

Muhammad Usman et al.

Summary: This study examines the influence of industrialization, total reserves, financial development, renewable energy, and natural resources on the ecological footprint in newly industrialized countries. The findings suggest that industrialization, total reserves, and financial development significantly drive environmental pollution, while the abundance of natural resources and renewable energy mitigates it. The study also identifies causal relationships between these factors and the ecological footprint.

The linkages between natural resources, human capital, globalization, economic growth, financial development, and ecological footprint: The moderating role of technological innovations

Atif Jahanger et al.

Summary: Ensuring a balance between economic and ecological well-being is crucial for governments worldwide. This study examines the influence of various factors on the ecological footprint of developing countries. The findings suggest that technological innovation can help inhibit the increase in ecological footprint, while natural resource consumption significantly contributes to its growth. Globalization reduces the ecological footprint of African and Latin American countries, and financial development decreases the ecological footprint of Asian countries.

Is resource abundance a curse for green economic growth? Evidence from developing countries

Shuhong Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that resource-rich areas hinder green economic growth in developing countries mainly through the innovation effect and technical leader transfer effect, which squeeze out technological spillovers from technological innovation, human capital investment, and opening up to the outside world, resulting in a negative impact on green economic growth.

Decoupling analysis between carbon dioxide emissions and the corresponding driving forces by Chinese power industry

Guijing Chen et al.

Summary: This study analyzed changes in carbon dioxide emissions by the Chinese power industry using the LMDI model and Tapio decoupling analysis model. It was found that energy consumption structure and total power generation were key factors promoting emissions growth, with technical effects playing a significant role in the decoupling between factors and emissions.

The determinants of environmental quality in the SAARC region: a spatial heterogeneous panel data approach

Khaizran Khalid et al.

Summary: Financial development has a weak impact on the environment in SAARC countries, with significant increases in pollution levels in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka but improved environmental quality in Nepal. Trade openness benefits environmental quality only in Nepal, while primary energy consumption increases the ecological footprint in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Conversely, renewable energy consumption improves environmental quality in all countries except Bangladesh.

Integration of tradable green certificates trading and carbon emissions trading: How will Chinese power industry do?

Xianyu Yu et al.

Summary: The power industry in China is a major contributor to carbon emissions and also a key player in both the tradable green certificate market and the carbon emissions trading market. The implementation of tradable green certificate and carbon emissions trading mechanisms has positive impacts on controlling carbon emissions, promoting national emission reduction targets, optimizing the power structure, increasing renewable energy investments, and achieving sustainable development goals at the national level.

Revisiting the Role of Fiscal Policy, Financial Development, and Foreign Direct Investment in Reducing Environmental Pollution during Globalization Mode: Evidence from Linear and Nonlinear Panel Data Approaches

Mustafa Kamal et al.

Summary: The study found that fiscal policy and globalization significantly increase environmental pollution, while financial development and gross fixed capital formation are crucial indicators in increasing pollution levels. However, trade openness, urban population, and labor force can improve environmental quality. Panel threshold regression suggests that countries maintain a minimum level of fiscal policy at -1.2889.

The effect of industrial structure adjustment on China's energy intensity: Evidence from linear and nonlinear analysis

Bingjiang Luan et al.

Summary: This study finds that industrial structure adjustment is an effective measure to reduce energy intensity in China. Linear analysis shows that an increase in the proportion of the tertiary industry and industrial structure optimization are associated with a decline in energy intensity. Nonlinear analysis indicates that changes in industrial structure optimization affect the relationships among industrial structure adjustment, technological progress, and energy intensity.

Energy carbon emission reduction of China's transportation sector: An input-output approach

Yang Yu et al.

Summary: The study found that improving energy efficiency is a key factor in reducing carbon emissions in China's transportation sector, while the steady growth of demand for transportation across all industries is the main reason for carbon emission growth. Dynamic optimization of industrial structure can help reduce carbon emissions caused by demand effects, and reducing the proportion of low-carbon and high-carbon energy consumption structures also helps to restrain the growth of carbon emissions.
