Revisiting the environmental Kuznetz curve and pollution haven hypothesis in N-11 economies: Fresh evidence from panel quantile regression

Parisa Esmaeili et al.

Summary: Human activities in recent decades have had severe impacts on environmental quality, particularly through CO2 emissions. This study evaluates the effects of foreign direct investment, economic complexity, and renewable energy utilization on CO2 emissions in N-11 countries from 1995 to 2019 using Panel Quantile Regression. The interaction between economic complexity and foreign direct investment is also considered. The results confirm the validity of the Environmental Kuznetz Curve in these countries and highlight the importance of economic complexity, especially in the early stages of industrialization. Furthermore, foreign direct investment negatively affects environmental quality, and the Pollution Haven Hypothesis is not rejected. An interesting finding is that the interaction between economic complexity and foreign direct investment mitigates the trend of CO2 emissions. Finally, the study suggests stricter environmental regulations, development of green energy infrastructure and technologies, improvement in institutional quality, and support for knowledge-based and technology-intensive exports.

Environmental impact of globalization: The case of central and Eastern European emerging economies

Daniel Balsalobre-Lorente et al.

Summary: This study examines the validity of the Pollution Haven Hypothesis (PHH) and the relevance of globalization in Eastern European emerging countries, and aims to address the lack of consensus on the globalization-economic complexity-environment relation in European countries. It also explores the existence of an N-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) related to economic complexity, considering the impact of renewable energy on environmental degradation. The results show a non-linear relationship between economic complexity and carbon emissions, and confirm the presence of an N-shaped EKC. Globalization and renewable energy consumption have contrasting effects on emissions. Additionally, economic complexity moderates the carbon emissions-boosting effect of globalization. The findings provide insights for environmental development policies that promote economic complexity and renewable energy as key factors in mitigating carbon emissions.
