Abstract Given the rise in ageing population and rising globalization, European nations are facing difficulties encountering climate action ascertaining energy security. For diffusing innovations curtailing natural resource extraction, with an objective of reducing carbon emissions, existing policy framework these might need a reorientation, there comes role study. This study recommends for exp...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact financial development, globalization, and pollution in six MENA countries from 1971 2015. Many prior studies empirically explored numerous factors determining environmental quality/pollution across world. As far as region North Africa Middle East is concerned, majority previous ignored combined role globalization development predicting qu...

In spite of the obvious physical dimension of economic production and consumption, economics has essentially ignored flows and stocks of materials and substances. Environmental economics has recently paid increased attention to material flows, which is not surprising given that its core problems – pollution and resource scarcity – can be directly related to material flows through the economy. V...

This paper examines the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in Vietnam between 1977 and 2019. Using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, we find an inverted N-shaped relation economic growth carbon dioxide emissions both long- short-run. The econometric results also reveal that energy consumption urbanization statistically positively impact pollution. long-run Granger causality test sh...

Purpose This study investigates the existence of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for deforestation Ghana over 1962–2018 time period. Design/methodology/approach The employs a time-varying approach, bootstrap rolling window Granger causality test to achieve its set objectives. Findings results from our reveals an inverted “ N ” shape EKC deforestation, implying that will initially decrease wit...

This study examines the long-run relationship between carbon emissions and energy consumption, income and foreign trade in the case of China by employing time series data of 1975–2005. In particular the study aims at testing whether environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) relationship between CO2 emissions and per capita real GDP holds in the long run or not. Auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) me...

In recent years, extensive literature on the Environmental Kuznets Curve leading to optimistic policy conclusions has attracted great attention. However, the underlying cross-section estimations are not very reliable. Accordingly, this contribution uses time series data for a single country with good data quality: Germany. With a specification that includes all theoretical variations and differ...
