Exploring the dynamic effects of shocks in monetary and fiscal policies on the environment of developing economies: evidence from the CS-ARDL approach

Shaista Noureen et al.

Summary: Most previous studies on the determinants of environmental quality have relied on a single proxy, while this study extends the literature by using three proxies and examines the effects of macroeconomic policies, economic growth, and energy consumption on environmental quality.

Central bank collateral as a green monetary policy instrument

Andrew McConnell et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the role of central banks in transitioning towards a climate-neutral economy, focusing on green monetary policy instruments. It finds that incorporating 'brown' collateral haircuts into a central bank's framework is a promising conduit for green monetary policy, with potential to increase political feasibility for a timely shift to a carbon neutral economy by affecting emission levels.

The Determinants of Energy and Electricity Consumption in Developed and Developing Countries: International Evidence

Ioannis Dokas et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the growth dynamics of factors affecting energy consumption in developed and developing countries. The results show that economic growth, investment, and temperature are the main determinants of energy consumption in developing countries, while trade openness, corruption, and innovation are the main determinants in developed countries. Therefore, energy policy measures should be implemented according to the country's income category.

Short-term CO2 emissions forecasting based on decomposition approaches and its impact on electricity market scheduling

Neeraj Dhanraj Bokde et al.

Summary: The energy industry accounts for 46% of all CO2 emissions globally, presenting a significant potential for reduction. A new forecasting method shows a mean absolute percentage error 25% lower than the best performing state-of-the-art model. Scheduling flexible electricity consumption can lead to reductions in CO2 emissions by an average of 25% in France, 17% in Germany, 69% in Norway, 20% in Denmark, and just 3% in Poland.

Impact of Trade and Financial Globalization on Renewable Energy in EU Transition Economies: A Bootstrap Panel Granger Causality Test

Yilmaz Bayar et al.

Summary: The study found unilateral causality from trade globalization to renewable energy in Estonia, Latvia, and Slovenia, and from renewable energy to trade globalization in Croatia and Lithuania. Additionally, there was unilateral causality from CO2 emissions to renewable energy in Lithuania and Slovenia, and from renewable energy to CO2 emissions in Czechia, Hungary, and Latvia. Moreover, there was a unilateral causality from real GDP per capita to renewable energy in Czechia, Romania, and Slovenia.

Mitigations pathways towards sustainable development: Assessing the influence of fiscal and monetary policies on carbon emissions in BRICS economies

Muhammad Zubair Chishti et al.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between macroeconomic policies, consumer spending, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions in BRICS economies from 1985 to 2014. The findings suggest that expansionary fiscal policy exacerbates the harmful effects of CO2e, while contractionary fiscal policy is effective in mitigating these effects.

Asymmetric macroeconomic determinants of CO2 emission in China and policy approaches

Summary: This study explores the asymmetric macroeconomic determinants of carbon dioxide emission in China using a nonlinear ARDL model, finding that GDP, industrialization, and agriculturalization have different asymmetric impacts on CO2 emission in terms of magnitude and direction.

Carbon emissions determinants and forecasting: Evidence from G6 countries

Duc Khuong Nguyen et al.

Summary: The study found that economic growth, capital market expansion, and trade openness are major drivers of carbon emissions in developed economies, while stock market capitalization and foreign direct investment have weak negative effects on carbon emissions. Additionally, enhancing the model with energy consumption and oil prices improves forecasting performance. The empirical findings have important policy implications for climate commitments.

Impact of energy intensity, renewable energy, and economic growth on CO2 emissions: Evidence from Africa across regions and income levels

J. P. Namahoro et al.

Summary: This study empirically examined the long-term impact of energy intensity, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth on CO2 emissions across regions and income levels over 50 African countries from 1980 to 2018. The findings revealed that renewable energy consumption contributed to mitigating CO2 emissions, while energy intensity promoted emissions across regions and income levels, and at the African level. Economic growth affected CO2 emissions negatively at the African level but the effect was mixed across regions and income levels. The study also found bi-directional causations between CO2 emissions and its determinants in African, and some regions and income levels, with unidirectional causation highly supported across regions and income levels. Impulse response and variance decomposition analysis showed that both energy intensity and economic growth counted higher variations of CO2 emissions, while renewable energy highly contributed to reducing emissions within 10 years.

Interactions among macroeconomic policies, the energy market and environmental quality

Ivan Hajdukovic

Summary: This paper empirically examines the interactions among macroeconomic policies, the energy market, and environmental quality in Switzerland and the United Kingdom from 1990 to 2016. The study proposes VAR models to evaluate the dynamic effects of fiscal and monetary policy shocks on the energy market and environmental quality, identifying significant influences of these policies. Findings suggest that fiscal policy can play a role in non-renewable energy conservation and environmental enhancement, while central banks should consider the impact of their interventions on the energy market and environmental issues in their welfare maximization problem.

Greening monetary policy

Dirk Schoenmaker

Summary: Interest in decarbonizing or greening monetary policy is growing, while central banks aim to maintain market neutrality. Market bias towards carbon-intensive companies poses challenges. However, a method to tilt the ECB's asset towards low-carbon assets has been developed, reducing carbon emissions without interfering with monetary policy transmission mechanisms.

How does fiscal decentralization affect CO2 emissions? The roles of institutions and human capital

Zeeshan Khan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of fiscal decentralization on CO2 emissions and finds that fiscal decentralization has a positive effect on environmental quality, which is further strengthened by improvements in institutional quality and human capital. The results also show that there are one-way effects from fiscal decentralization, GDP, human capital, eco-innovation, and institutional quality on CO2 emissions, with weaker reverse effects.
