Environmental implications of economic complexity and its role in determining how renewable energies affect CO2 emissions

Mohsen Khezri et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing energy intensity, trade openness, and urbanization will increase CO2 emissions, while economic complexity has different effects on the environment. Economic complexity has altered the Environmental Kuznets Curve to some extent, and increasing economic complexity in countries enhances the effects of economic growth on increasing CO2 emissions.

Asymmetric role of renewable energy, green innovation, and globalization in deriving environmental sustainability: Evidence from top-10 polluted countries

Yunpeng Sun et al.

Summary: This study examines the asymmetric impact of renewable energy consumption, green innovation, globalization, and economic growth on carbon emissions in the top 10 polluted countries.

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.

The impact of heterogeneous environmental regulation on the energy eco-efficiency of China's energy-mineral cities

Shengnan Cui et al.

Summary: The study found that different environmental regulations have varying effects on China's energy eco-efficiency, and there is a threshold effect. Energy eco-efficiency in the eastern region showed the most significant growth. Compulsory and market-incentive environmental regulations inhibit energy eco-efficiency, while voluntary environmental regulations have a time lag effect. The study suggests improving environmental regulation tools through enhancing environmental information disclosure, eco-welfare-oriented appraisal, and rewards and punishments for technological innovation.

Summary: The study finds that there are bi-directional causalities among economic growth, economic complexity, and CO2 emissions, with heterogeneous effects for different income groups. In low-income countries, economic complexity has a positive impact on CO2 emissions, while CO2 emissions have a negative impact on economic complexity. Middle-income countries show a positive interaction between economic complexity and CO2 emissions, while high-income countries demonstrate that increasing economic complexity could effectively reduce CO2 emissions, and CO2 emissions can significantly increase economic complexity.
