Modeling the Dynamic Linkage between Renewable Energy Consumption, Globalization, and Environmental Degradation in South Korea: Does Technological Innovation Matter?

The present research assesses the influence of globalization and technological innovation on CO2 emissions in South Korea as well taking into account role renewable energy consumption utilizing datasets between 1980 2018. autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing method is utilized to assess long-run cointegration. outcome ARDL test confirmed cointegration among series. Furthermore, reveals that economic growth, trigger environmental degradation while improves quality environment. In addition, study employed frequency domain causality capture causal linkage major advantage this approach series can be captured at short, medium long term, respectively. outcomes revealed globalization, innovation, growth use predict Korea.
