This study explores the ecological indicators relevant to long-term sustainability by the food-energywater nexus among BRICS (Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China, and South Africa). The sustainability issue arises with the EKC (environmental Kuznets curve) hypothesis and biodiversity that require proper resource allocation to provide food security among the BRICS countries. This study ...

This paper analyzes the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis to test the causality relationship between economic activity, trade openness and carbon dioxide emissions in Mexico (1971-2011). The results achieved in this research show that there are three long-run relationships between production, trade openness, energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. The EKC hypothesis was not ...

extended abstract introduction a lot of activities in environmental economics scope have concentrated on this question that why some developing countries suffer from environmental degradation, whereas other countries can maintain or enhance the environmental quality. with the collapse of communism and economic evolution of china, most people live, work and bargain in free market economies. henc...

Plastics have become an indispensable part of modern life. Although plastics, which waste after use, are recycled for the economy, they a critical problem because many cause environmental pollution and threaten It is known that use plastics has increased rapidly in parallel with increase income emerged from increasing industrialization since 1950s. According to Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC)...

The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis assumes there is an inverted U-shape relationship between pollution and income per capita, implying improvement in quality when a growing economy reaches high level of economic development. This study evaluated empirically the existence Greenland for period 1970–2018. Using autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach, results show evidence U-s...

There is a concern about the increasing pressure over the forest as economic growth increases. As for the Brazilian Amazon deforestation, there are noticeable intra-regional differences due to its occupation history, extensive area, economic structure and geographical aspects, inducing a strong spatial heterogeneity in this environmental phenomenon. This paper investigates locally the Environme...

T he environmental Kuznets curve posits an inverted-U relationship between pollution and economic development. Kuznets’s name was apparently attached to the curve by Grossman and Krueger (1993), who noted its resemblance to Kuznets’s inverted-U relationship between income inequality and development. In the first stage of industrialization, pollution in the environmental Kuznets curve world grow...

Using Environmental Kuznets Curve theory, this article examines the EKC effect of economic growth, energy intensity and carbon emission intensity on total quantity of carbon emission under the constraint of energy-saving policy. Optimizing energy-consuming structure and decreasing energy-consuming intensity can incline carbon emissions intensity and slow down the increasing speed of carbon emis...
