Pollution Haven or Halo? How European countries leverage FDI, energy, and human capital to alleviate their ecological footprint

Najia Saqib et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between economic growth and ecological footprint for 16 European countries from 1990 to 2020. The empirical analysis reveals some correlations, including a negative correlation between foreign direct investment and ecological footprint, and an inverted U-shaped curve between GDP and ecological footprint, supporting the environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. Furthermore, renewable energy is found to have a negative correlation with ecological footprint, while energy structure has a positive correlation.

Spatiotemporal influencing factors of energy efficiency in 43 european countries: A spatial econometric analysis

Byron Quito et al.

Summary: The increase in consumption and resource use linked to human activity poses risks to energy security and sustainability, leading to a global restructuring of policy agendas to integrate environmental well-being through channels such as energy efficiency (EE). This study aims to analyze the relationship between energy efficiency, renewable energy, and financial development. Using a spatial econometrics model, the research finds spatial autocorrelation of EE among European countries and observes that the use of renewable energies promotes EE in neighboring economies. On the other hand, financial development has both positive and negative effects on EE, with the institutional component showing a positive impact and the stock market component showing a negative impact. The findings highlight the importance of renewable energy use in improving EE and the need for policy makers to develop mechanisms for greener and more sustainable development while encouraging efficient energy use.

Financial development-ecological footprint nexus in Malaysia: the role of institutions

James Temitope Dada et al.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between financial development and environmental quality in Malaysia, with a focus on the moderating role of institutional quality. The results suggest that financial development, institutional quality, economic growth, and foreign direct investment improve environmental quality in the short run, while trade openness and natural resources worsen it. In the long run, financial development, institutional quality, economic growth, trade openness, and natural resources deteriorate the environment. The findings highlight the importance of considering institutional quality in policies aimed at mitigating environmental degradation.

Examining the role of nuclear and renewable energy in reducing carbon footprint: Does the role of technological innovation really create some difference?

Muhammad Usman et al.

Summary: This study examines the impact of nuclear energy, technological innovations, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, and natural resources on carbon footprint in countries with the highest nuclear energy production. The findings indicate that nuclear and renewable energy consumption positively contribute to environmental excellence, while technological innovations and non-renewable energy negatively affect environmental sustainability. Natural resources also have an adverse role in the long run. The causality test reveals a unidirectional causality from carbon footprint to nuclear energy, and bidirectional causality between technological innovations, renewables, non-renewables, and natural resources with carbon footprint.
