Measuring the impact of higher education on environmental pollution: new evidence from thirty provinces in China

Hui Li et al.

Summary: The study found that higher education and foreign direct investment play a crucial role in mitigating CO2 emissions, while an increase in electricity consumption, population, and gross domestic product significantly contributes to enhancements in CO2 emissions. These findings suggest important policies for policymakers and governments to mitigate CO2 emissions.

Physical infrastructure, energy consumption, economic growth, and environmental pollution in Pakistan: an asymmetry analysis

Muhammad Afaq Haider Jafri et al.

Summary: The study explores the effects of physical infrastructure on energy consumption, economic growth, and air pollution in Pakistan. It found that road infrastructure has a positive impact on CO2 emissions, while aircraft carriers have a negative impact in the long run. Information communication technology is positively correlated with CO2 emissions, while trade has a negative impact. Overall, there are asymmetric effects of infrastructure and trade on energy consumption, economic growth, and environmental pollution.

The impact of immigration on human capital and carbon dioxide emissions in the USA: an empirical investigation

Melike Dedeoglu et al.

Summary: This paper examines the relationship between immigration, human capital, economic growth, financial development, energy, and environmental pollution in the USA. The results show that migration, financial development, and energy consumption increase environmental pollution, while economic growth decreases pollution. There is no significant relationship between human capital and the environment, and immigration contributes to human capital accumulation in the long run.
