Does air pollution affect the tourism industry in the USA? Evidence from the quantile autoregressive distributed lagged approach

Fengsheng Chien et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of air pollution on the tourism industry in the USA from 1990 to 2020, considering macroeconomic variables. The results showed that air pollution, measured by CO2 emissions and PM2.5, had a negative association with international tourist arrivals. However, GDP and real effective exchange rate had a positive significant long-term association with tourist arrivals. Furthermore, the short-term analysis revealed a positive correlation between past and lagged values of tourist arrivals and current and lagged values of international tourist arrivals. The study also confirmed bidirectional causality between tourism, GDP, haze pollution, and exchange rates.

The impact of renewable energy, internet use and foreign direct investment on carbon dioxide emissions: A method of moments quantile analysis

Ashar Awan et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the relationship among economic growth, environmental degradation, and various factors such as foreign direct investment, urbanization, renewable energy, and information communication technology. The findings reveal an inverted U-shape relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation, supporting the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve. Foreign direct investment has a positive impact on economic growth at lower quantiles but becomes insignificant at higher quantiles. Urbanization promotes environmental degradation, while renewable energy mitigates carbon dioxide emissions. Information communication technology, represented by internet usage, significantly reduces environmental degradation.
