The role role of Financial Development and Technological Innovation towards Sustainable Development in Pakistan: Fresh insights from consumption and territory-based emissions

Kashif Raza Abbasi et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of economic globalization, financial development, energy use, economic development, and technological innovation on consumption and emissions in Pakistan. The empirical evidence reveals that financial and economic development stimulate consumption and emissions in both the short and long run. Energy use intensifies consumption and emissions only in the long run. Economic globalization adversely affects consumption and emissions in the short run but increases consumption-based emissions in the long run. Technological innovations decrease emissions in the long term. The study suggests policymakers discourage non-renewables and increase renewable energy use to decrease consumption and emissions.
