A simple fix for carbon leakage? Assessing the environmental effectiveness of the EU carbon border adjustment

George Moersdorf

Summary: The proposed carbon border adjustment mechanism by the European Commission aims to reduce carbon leakage and generate substantial revenues. The study suggests that expanding the adjustment scope and providing export rebates can further enhance the effectiveness, but the legal and political risks need to be considered.

Identifying impact of international trade and renewable energy consumption on environmental quality improvement and their role in global warming

Arshad Ahmad Khan et al.

Summary: This research highlights the significance of institutional quality (IQ) and renewable energy consumption (REC) in reducing carbon emissions (CE). Using data from G-7 countries, the study finds a long-term connection between IQ, REC, GDP, exports, imports, and consumption-based CE. The findings suggest that improving IQ, REC, GDP, exports, and imports through policies can significantly impact carbon neutrality.

Toward achieving sustainable development: Searching for economic development and globalization thresholds in the foreign direct investment-environmental degradation nexus

Olufemi Adewale Aluko et al.

Summary: The study found that economic development and globalization thresholds have an impact on the role of FDI in environmental degradation, with FDI inflows mitigating environmental degradation below the thresholds and significantly degrading the environment above the thresholds. Uncontrolled economic development and globalization do not allow FDI to reduce environmental degradation.

Economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and ecological footprint: Exploring the role of environmental regulations and democracy in sustainable development

Zahoor Ahmed et al.

Summary: Environmental regulations are crucial for achieving ecological sustainability, and democracy helps to reduce ecological footprints and promote the use of renewable energy. While economic growth may increase ecological footprints to some extent, the implementation of democracy and environmental regulations can mitigate this trend.

The nexus between renewable energy, income inequality, and consumption-based CO2 emissions: An empirical investigation

Muhammad Awais Baloch et al.

Summary: This study addresses the lack of research on the impact of income inequality and renewable energy on consumption-based CO2 emissions. The empirical results show that income inequality contributes to consumption-based CO2 emissions, while renewable energy helps in reducing emissions. These findings have important policy implications for BRICS countries in controlling environmental impacts.

International trade and consumption-based carbon emissions: Does energy efficiency and financial risk ensure sustainable environment?

Chen Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of energy efficiency and financial risk on international trade and carbon emissions in BRICS countries. The empirical results show that energy efficiency and financial risk are negatively related to carbon emissions, while gross domestic product and imports are positively related to carbon emissions. In addition, international trade plays a significant role in improving environmental quality and reducing carbon emissions.

Carbon Leakage: The Impact of Asymmetric Regulation on Carbon-Emitting Production

Ximin (Natalie) Huang et al.

Summary: This study examines how producers subject to geographically asymmetric emission regulations and uncertain future emission prices can reduce compliance costs and prevent carbon leakage. It is found that emission price uncertainty can have opposing effects on carbon leakage, and that Border Tax has a stronger impact in reducing leakage compared to Output-Based Allocation.

Green growth and low carbon emission in G7 countries: How critical the network of environmental taxes, renewable energy and human capital is?

Lin-Na Hao et al.

Summary: Through theoretical and empirical analysis, this study finds that green growth can reduce CO2 emissions, while environmental taxes, human capital, and renewable energy use can also decrease CO2 emissions. GDP growth has a negative impact on environmental quality, but green growth helps sustain environmental quality.

Where is the gray side of green growth? Theoretical insights, policy directions, and evidence from a multidimensional approach

Mehmet Demiral et al.

Summary: The study finds that income is positively associated with green growth for both IEEs and IDCs, while the income-gray growth nexus is negative for IEEs. Globalization encourages both green and gray growth for IDCs, while environmental policy stringency inhibits green growth and encourages gray growth in IEEs. Overall, greening countries may face challenges from the environmental costs of graying economies.

The effects of environmental innovations on CO2 emissions: Empirical evidence from Europe

Michelle Mongo et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of environmental innovations, consumption of renewable energies, GDP per capita, and economic openness on CO2 emissions in 15 European countries over 23 years using an ARDL model. The results suggest that environmental innovations can lower CO2 emissions in the long-term, but may have a rebound effect in the short-term. The study recommends the introduction of new policies combining tools from environmental economics and ecological economy to encourage individuals to consume differently and favor products/services with less negative impact on the environment.

Theoretical Framework for the Carbon Emissions Effects of Technological Progress and Renewable Energy Consumption

Fakhri J. Hasanov et al.

Summary: This study develops a theoretical framework to quantify the impacts of technological progress, renewable energy consumption, and international trade on carbon emissions. The framework is applied to BRICS countries' data, considering panel data integration, co-integration, cross-country interdependence, and heterogeneity. The study reveals that technological progress and renewable energy consumption contribute to reduced CO2 emissions, while GDP and import size increase pollution. Policy recommendations include fostering technological enhancements and transitioning toward sustainable energy.

Spillover and dynamic effects of energy transition and economic growth on carbon dioxide emissions for the European Union: A dynamic spatial panel model

Xiaohang Ren et al.

Summary: Based on the empirical results, the study shows that the traditional dynamic panel model over-estimates the parameters, neglecting indirect impacts, while a significant positive spatial spillover of CO2 emissions from neighboring countries to the local country is recognized. Economic growth has positive impacts on CO2 emissions, while renewable energy has negative influences and natural gas has positive impacts. The study also provides policy recommendations for cooperation with CO2 reduction policies, promotion of green economy, renewable energy, and substitution of natural gas in the future.

Xiangfeng Ji et al.

Summary: This study shows that fiscal decentralization can help reduce CO(2) emissions and improve the environment. Additionally, an increase in GDP, eco-innovation, and renewable energy usage can also contribute to lowering CO(2) emissions. The study recommends that policies targeting green growth, fiscal decentralization, GDP, eco-innovation, and renewable energy will have a long-term impact.
