Exploring the nexus between economic complexity, energy consumption and ecological footprint: new insights from the United Arab Emirates

Marina Arnaut et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of economic complexity, disaggregated energy consumption, economic growth, financial development, globalization, and urbanization on the ecological footprint of the UAE. The findings suggest that economic complexity, nonrenewable energy, and economic growth increase the ecological footprint, while renewable energy and urbanization reduce it. The influence of globalization and financial development on the ecological footprint differs across periods.

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.

Economic complexity and environmental degradation: Evidence from OECD countries

Olufemi Adewale Aluko et al.

Summary: This study further expands the existing knowledge on the role of economic complexity in the environment and sustainable development debate by examining its effect on environmental degradation. The results show that income facilitates economic complexity in mitigating ecological footprint, CO2 emissions, N2O emissions, and greenhouse gas emissions. The study also finds a nonlinear relationship between income and the impact of economic complexity on environmental degradation, indicating that economic complexity initially increases these environmental indicators but gradually reduces them as income rises.

The Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis for Colombia: Impact of Economic Development on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Ecological Footprint

Jorge F. Acevedo-Ramos et al.

Summary: Climate change is a major concern for developing countries due to its risks to energy and food independence as well as general productivity. This study assesses the impact of economic development on the environment in Colombia and validates the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. The results support the need for shifting to renewable energy sources and cleaner technologies for sustainable economic growth.

The criticality of tourism development, economic complexity, and country security on ecological footprint

Chien-Chiang Lee et al.

Summary: This research examines the relationship between economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and various factors such as tourism development and country security. The results show that tourism development leads to environmental degradation, while country security weakens the negative impact of tourism and economic complexity on environmental quality. Economic complexity also worsens environmental quality. The findings highlight the importance of finding a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.

Re-Examining the Income-CO2 Emissions Nexus Using the New Kink Regression Model: Does the Kuznets Curve Exist in G7 Countries?

Pei-Zhi Liu et al.

Summary: More countries have made commitments to achieve carbon neutrality or net zero emissions since 2019. The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis, which examines the relationship between income and CO2 emissions, is crucial for assessing global economic development and achieving global carbon emission reduction targets. However, the EKC hypothesis does not hold for the United States, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan, indicating a different pattern of CO2 emissions. The findings suggest the need for tailored environmental policies that consider different pollutants and regions.

Economic complexities and environmental degradation: evidence from OECD countries

Muhammad Tariq Majeed et al.

Summary: The study suggests that economic complexity has a positive and statistically significant impact on carbon emissions in OECD countries in the long run, and also confirms the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve theory in these economies. Additionally, the results indicate that the impact of economic complexity on emissions is more pronounced in economies with lower carbon emissions.

Does economic complexity matter for environmental sustainability? Using ecological footprint as an indicator

Muhammad Zahid Rafique et al.

Summary: This study utilized panel data estimators to explore the association between factors such as economic complexity, human capital, renewable energy generation, urbanization, economic growth, export quality, trade and ecological footprint. The long-run estimates revealed that economic complexity, economic growth, export quality, trade and urbanization increase ecological footprint, while human capital and renewable energy generation help to mitigate ecological footprint. The conclusion suggests that investing in more renewable energy generation and efficient use of human capital can improve economic complexity, export quality, and the environment in both developed and developing countries.

Reexamining the Environmental Kuznets Curve in Chinese Cities: Does Intergovernmental Competition Matter?

Zhenbo Zhang et al.

Summary: This research investigates the impact of intergovernmental competition (IGC) on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in China. The findings suggest that the ecological transformation of IGC facilitates positive competition in sustainable development, achieving a balance between centralization and decentralization while reducing pollutant emissions. These results have significant implications for environmental policy-making and decision-making of local governments in China.

The Impact of Hydropower Energy in Malaysia Under the EKC Hypothesis: Evidence From Quantile ARDL Approach

Atif Jahanger et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of economic growth, hydropower generation, and urbanization on Malaysia's CO2 emissions. The results show that hydropower generation can reduce the detrimental effects of CO2 emissions at high quantile levels, while urbanization has negative impacts on CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the study confirms the presence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis from median to higher quantiles.

Economic complexity and the green economy

Penny Mealy et al.

Summary: This paper develops a new methodology to measure the productive capabilities of countries in the green economy and ranks them accordingly. The results indicate that countries with higher rankings tend to perform better in terms of environmental patenting rates, CO2 emissions, and environmental policies, even after controlling for per capita GDP. Additionally, the paper explores the potential of countries to transition into green products in the future and finds strong path dependence in the accumulation of green capabilities. These findings shed new light on green industrialization and have implications for green industrial policy.

Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis on CO2 Emissions: Evidence for China

Jihuan Zhang

Summary: China is the largest CO2 emitter globally and is expected to reach its emissions peak around 2030. A long-term N-shaped relationship between CO2 emissions and real GDP per capita was found, along with positive effects of energy consumption and negative effects of urbanization on CO2 emissions. A breakthrough in policymaking and energy innovation is needed under China's specific socioeconomic and political circumstances for the future.
