Does FDI affect environmental degradation? Examining pollution haven and pollution halo hypotheses using ARDL modelling

Khalid M. Kisswani et al.

Summary: This paper empirically examines the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on pollution (CO2 emissions) in four selected Asian countries. The findings support the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) for the Philippines, while supporting the pollution halo hypothesis for Malaysia and Singapore. The paper also explores the causal relationship between FDI and pollution using the Vector Error Correction model (VECM), with mixed long- and short-run Granger causality findings.

How do economic and financial factors influence green logistics? A comparative analysis of E7 and G7 nations

Abdulkadir Barut et al.

Summary: Logistics is crucial for economic development, with developed countries striving to introduce green logistics to mitigate environmental damages caused by transportation. A comparative panel study reveals that R&D, FDI, portfolio investment, and trade have different impacts on green logistics for G7 and E7 nations. Financial development and economic growth do not significantly influence green logistics. Policy suggestions are made for E7 nations to catch up with G7 in logistics development and for G7 nations to boost green logistics.

Factors Influencing the Renewable Energy Consumption in Selected European Countries

Jan Polcyn et al.

Summary: The study examines the link between renewable energy consumption and economic advancement, analyzing data from European countries. The results show a positive relationship between the share of renewable energy consumption and GDP per capita, as well as CO2 emissions per capita. Factors such as total labor force, gross capital formation, and production-based CO2 intensity were found to be inversely related to renewable energy consumption. These findings provide insights for policymakers aiming to promote sustainable economic development.

Impact of Economic Affluence on CO2 Emissions in CEE Countries

Agnieszka Majewska et al.

Summary: There is substantial evidence supporting the connection between economic growth and environmental degradation. This research examines the relationship between CO2 emissions and wealth indicators in Central and Eastern European countries from 2000 to 2019. The study finds that the Human Development Index (HDI) better represents the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth. Additionally, it confirms that per capita energy consumption increases CO2 emissions while renewable energy consumption reduces them. Technological changes and increased global sustainability awareness are necessary.

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.

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.

An analysis of the impact of clean and non-clean energy consumption on economic growth and carbon emission: evidence from PIMC countries

Arshad Ali et al.

Summary: This study empirically estimates the impact of clean and non-clean energy consumption on economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) from 1980 to 2019. The results suggest that both types of energy consumption significantly affect economic growth, with carbon emissions hindering growth. Clean energy consumption is found to reduce carbon emissions. The study also confirms the existence of the inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve and pollution haven hypothesis in PICTs.

The nexus between renewable energy, CO2 emissions, and economic growth: Empirical evidence from African oil-producing countries

Veysel Inal et al.

Summary: Despite Africa's reserves of renewable energy, policymakers in oil-producing countries tend to rely on traditional energy sources, leading to increased CO2 emissions and global warming. Our study found that renewable energy has no significant effect on economic growth in these countries, while CO2 emissions have a positive impact on the economic growth of Algeria, Equatorial Guinea, and Egypt. We recommend that policymakers pay more attention to the utilization of renewable energy.

Effect of institutional quality and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions-an empirical investigation for developing countries

Anasuya Haldar et al.

Summary: The study finds that institutional quality plays a crucial role in moderating the impact of energy consumption on CO2 emissions, strengthening its effectiveness in reducing carbon emissions. Furthermore, the combined influence of institutional quality and sector-wise energy consumption has a significant negative impact on emissions reduction. Therefore, improving institutional quality and increasing renewable energy consumption are key to achieving long-term climate goals.
