Analyzing the N-shaped EKC among top nuclear energy generating nations: A novel dynamic common correlated effects approach

Atif Jahanger et al.

Summary: Regardless of the ongoing debate, the shape of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis plays a critical role in determining the dynamic relationship between environmental sustainability and economic activities across different nations of the world. The study finds evidence of an N-shaped EKC among the top nuclear energy-producing nations, indicating a dependence on fossil-based energy sources. However, nuclear energy generation improves environmental quality in these countries. The results also suggest that military spending and human capital are negatively associated with ecological footprint, highlighting the role of national security and education in reshaping biocapacity surplus.

Causal nexus in industrialization, urbanization, trade openness, and carbon emissions: empirical evidence from OPEC economies

Muhammad Azam et al.

Summary: This study explores the causal relationship between urbanization, industrialization, energy use, national income, international trade, and carbon dioxide emissions in OPEC countries. The findings suggest that income has an inverse impact on pollution while factors like urbanization, industrialization, international trade, and energy use contribute to environmental pollution. The study also highlights the need for environmentally friendly policies in OPEC countries to achieve sustainable economic development.

Abdul Majid Awan et al.

Summary: This study examines the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis in the top five influenced economies of the G-20, finding a positive correlation between technological development and energy use with CO2 emissions, while financial development and social globalization mitigate environmental degradation.

Do renewable and nuclear energy enhance environmental quality in France? A new EKC approach with the load capacity factor

Ugur Korkut Pata et al.

Summary: This study tests the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for France. The results show that there is no inverted U-shaped relationship between CO2 emissions and income, but the EKC hypothesis holds for the load capacity factor. The findings highlight the importance of nuclear energy in green sustainability.

Dynamic nexus among tourism, corruption, democracy and environmental degradation: a panel data investigation

Muhammad Haseeb et al.

Summary: This study empirically investigates the relationships among corruption, democracy, tourism, and environmental degradation, with carbon dioxide emissions as a key factor. The findings suggest that corruption, democracy, and tourism are major contributors to CO2 emissions, with democracy proving helpful in reducing emissions in high-income countries. The Granger causality test reveals complex bidirectional and unidirectional causal relationships between these variables, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing environmental challenges.

Environmental Kuznets curve in Southeastern Europe: the role of urbanization and energy consumption

Miroslav Verbic et al.

Summary: The study finds an inverted U-shaped relationship between real GDP per capita and carbon dioxide emissions, with short-term evidence of a two-way causal relationship between urbanization and pollutant emissions, and long-term negative coefficients of real GDP per capita and energy consumption on pollutant emissions. This suggests the presence of an error correction mechanism driving variables back to equilibrium, and that the consistent increase in energy consumption has not reduced environmental pressures.

Environmental sustainability and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa: A modified EKC hypothesis

Dagmawe Tenaw et al.

Summary: The study in sub-Saharan African countries unveils a modified Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis, where the environment-development linkage depends on the abundance of natural resources. Energy consumption and trade openness are found to have a long term detrimental effect on the environment, suggesting the need for appropriate policies to ensure environmental sustainability alongside economic development efforts.

Causal Relationships Among Tourism, International Trade, Pollution, and Economic Growth: Evidence from Central Asian Countries

Muhammad Azam et al.

Summary: The study investigates the cointegration and causality among environmental quality, international trade, economic growth, and tourism in five Central Asian Republic States for the period 1992-2018. The empirical results show long-term cointegration among the variables and the presence of causality in the series. The findings suggest the need for appropriate public policies to stimulate sustainable economic development in the CARS-5.
