Environmental degradation, renewable energy, and economic growth nexus: Assessing the role of financial and political risks?

Zhaohua Wang et al.

Summary: The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of affordable and sustainable energy offers a practical solution for sustainable growth and climate action. However, political and financial risks can hinder progress in renewable energy and climate actions. This research investigates the relationship between renewable energy, political risk, financial risk, and ecological footprint (EF) in the context of the Environment Kuznets Curve (EKC) for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) from 1986 to 2018. The results confirm the presence of EKC in ASEAN and highlight the importance of mitigating political and financial risks to reduce EF and promote sustainable development.

The Causality Relationship between Trade and Environment in G7 Countries: Evidence from Dynamic Symmetric and Asymmetric Bootstrap Panel Causality Tests

Veli Yilanci et al.

Summary: In this paper, a new bootstrap panel causality test based on seemingly unrelated regressions is proposed to test the dynamic symmetric and asymmetric causality relationship between the ecological footprint and trade openness in G7 countries. The time-varying behavior of the symmetric and asymmetric panel causality relationship test is analyzed to reveal the instabilities in the causality relationships. The obtained results suggest a relationship between trade openness and ecological footprint in some years of the analysis period and between negative and positive shocks.

Generous charity to preserve green image? Exploring linkage between strategic donations and environmental misconduct

Bao Wu et al.

Summary: The study identifies two typical donation strategies, fire-suppressing and proactive, used by small Chinese companies to address the negative impact of environmental misconduct. Pollution fines are positively associated with corporate charitable donations, suggesting a fire-suppressing approach, while pollutant emissions have a positive relationship with charitable donations, supporting a proactive approach. The relationship between pollution fines and corporate charitable donations is moderated by advertising expenses, and politically connected SMEs are more likely to take a proactive approach.
