Nexus among digital inclusive finance and carbon neutrality: Evidence from company-level panel data analysis

Weiwei Wang et al.

Summary: This research examines the impact of digital finance and renewable energy investment on carbon neutrality using panel data of Chinese companies in 30 provinces from 2005 to 2020. The study finds that inclusive digital financing can directly reduce carbon intensity and also influence it through improving industrial structure, resource efficiency, and promoting green technologies. The marginal impact of digital financing is smaller for large enterprises (larger for small firms), reflecting the challenges small businesses face in accessing finance. Digital finance opens new funding avenues for these businesses to achieve sustainability. The inclusiveness of digital financing, compared to traditional banking, can enhance private businesses' green innovation.

Aggregate and disaggregate impact of natural resources on economic performance: Role of green growth and human capital

Zeeshan Khan et al.

Summary: This study aims to explore the aggregated and disaggregated impacts of natural resources on economic growth and the controlling role of carbon emissions, human capital, and green growth. The findings validate the existence of the resource curse hypothesis among the G-7 nations, indicating a negative relationship between natural resource availability and economic development. It suggests that the G-7 nations should establish a stable regional market to absorb price volatility and control energy demand and supply mismatch. Additionally, minimizing mining costs and environmental impacts through technological advancement is recommended. Green growth is found to hinder economic development among the G-7 nations due to reduced extraction and consumption of fossil fuels, while human capital development and CO2 emissions are beneficial. However, CO2 emissions-induced development is discouraged considering the G-7 nations' focus on green growth, and careful evaluation of trade-offs between green growth and the resource curse is advised.

Does composite fiscal decentralization reduce trade-adjusted resource consumption through institutional governance, human capital, and infrastructure development?

Shuai Shao et al.

Summary: Improving resource efficiency and environmental quality is a key task for both advanced and emerging economies. Fiscal decentralization has both direct and indirect effects on resource consumption, with direct effects being positive and indirect effects through institutional quality and human capital development being negative (positive). The infrastructure growth channel of fiscal decentralization leads to increased resource consumption.

Mexico at the crossroads of natural resource dependence and COP26 pledge: Does technological innovation help?

Md Emran Hossain et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between ecological footprint and natural resource depletion, economic growth, energy consumption, technological innovation, and foreign direct investment in the Mexican economy using the dynamic autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) simulations approach. Results show a long-term association between the economy and environmental quality, with Mexico still in the scale stage, allowing for economic expansion relative to environmental quality. Natural resource rent, energy use, and foreign direct investment have a negative impact on environmental quality in the short and long term, while technological innovation seems to be a solution for environmental degradation in the long run.

Technological changes, financial development and ecological consequences: A comparative study of developed and developing economies

Xiaoxi Liu et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between technological changes, financial development, and ecological footprints in developed and developing economies from 1990 to 2019. The findings showed that climate technologies and economic freedom play a significant role in reducing ecological footprints, but their effects vary between the two samples. Financial development leads to higher ecological footprints in developing countries, but this negative influence can be neutralized through the integration of innovative technologies. Economic freedom facilitates the development of innovative technologies and reduces ecological footprints in both samples.

Natural resources and economic performance: Evaluating the role of political risk and renewable energy consumption

Zeeshan Khan et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of natural resources on economic performance using panel data analysis for the Group of Seven economies. The empirical results reveal an asymmetric influence of natural resources on economic performance, with negative effects at lower quantiles and positive effects at higher quantiles. The consumption of renewable energy has a negative influence on economic performance, while political risk shows a weak link. Gross capital formation is found to be a positive factor in economic performance. These findings are robust and validated through bootstrap quantile regression and quantile regression.
