Revisiting the environmental kuznets curve hypothesis in 208 counties: The roles of trade openness, human capital, renewable energy and natural resource rent

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of trade openness, human capital, renewable energy, and natural resource rent on carbon emissions within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is validated when considering the effects of these factors. The relationship between income level and carbon emissions follows an inverted U-shaped curve, and the EKC turning point occurs at a real GDP per capita of $19,203. Renewable energy consumption and human capital have different effects on carbon emissions before and after the EKC turning point, while trade openness only mitigates carbon emissions in countries with weak decoupling after the turning point.

Does income inequality reshape the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis? A nonlinear panel data analysis

Qiang Wang et al.

Summary: The research finds that income inequality changes the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions, shifting it from an inverted U-shape to an N-shape, thus increasing the complexity of decoupling economic growth from carbon emissions. During periods of low income inequality, economic growth increases carbon emissions, but as income inequality increases, economic growth suppresses carbon emissions. This phenomenon is more pronounced in high-income countries.

Trade openness and urbanization impact on renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in China

Jiabin Han et al.

Summary: China's significant growth in trade and urbanization has raised concerns about the proportion of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption. The study finds that trade increases non-renewable energy consumption, while urbanization has a limited effect on energy consumption. The government is recommended to implement regulations to reduce non-renewable energy consumption, promote the use of renewable energy, and restrict rural to urban migration.

The triangular relationship between energy consumption, trade openness and economic growth: new empirical evidence

Mandella Osei-Assibey Bonsu et al.

Summary: This paper examines the triangular relationships between energy consumption, trade openness, and economic growth of 45 countries from 1991 to 2014. The study confirms bidirectional relationships among energy consumption and income, trade openness and income, and trade openness and energy consumption in the long run. It finds that the impact of energy consumption on economic growth is larger than the impact of trade openness, and trade openness has a larger impact on energy consumption than on economic growth. However, the effect of economic growth on trade openness is the largest in these relationships.

The impact of energy efficiency on carbon emissions: Evidence from the transportation sector in Chinese 30 provinces

Rongrong Li et al.

Summary: Emissions from the transport sector contribute significantly to China's carbon emissions. This study examines the carbon emissions from the transportation industry in 30 Chinese provinces from 2005 to 2019 and finds that energy efficiency and urbanization have a limited inhibitory effect on carbon emissions compared to the promoting effect of income growth, private vehicles, and cargo turnover. Considering the nonlinear effects of carbon emissions is crucial for developing more effective policies to curb emissions in the transport sector.
