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 ...

There is a long-standing debate on the relationship between economic development and environmental quality. From a sustainable development viewpoint there has been a growing concern that the economic expansion of the world economy will cause irreparable damage to our planet. In the last few years several studies have appeared dealing with the relationship between the scale of economic activity ...

This chapter assesses the nature and degree of environmental degradation and resource depletion in China and their relationship to economic activity and environmental policies. We describe regulatory and other policies and consider their political economy determinants. Inasmuch as this objective can only be partially achieved, we hope to contribute to a research agenda for environmental and res...

Since global warming has become a serious threat and GHG emissions are one of the main causes it, analyzing interactions between variables related to climate change gained importance. This study investigates nexus per capita CO2 emissions, real GDP or income, natural gas consumption, urban population, trade openness by examining validity environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for panel se...

Governance can help in regulating the environmental quality of any economy. Hence, present study explores effects rule law and regulatory on CO2 emissions four South Asian economies from 1996-2019, controlling renewable energy income level model. The results corroborate Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis long-run analysis but could not affect emissions. Moreover, helps reduce shows te...

Validity of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis has been tested by several researchers. While macro approaches towards EKC are largely discussed in the literature, microeconomic quite scarce. This paper, this respect, aims to provide individual insights on environmental preferences. Using priority protection rather than economic growth as an indicator, I investigate factors affecting p...

The present study contributes to the ongoing debate on environmental sustainability and low-carbon agenda in terms of an analysis a relatively new international association, Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Based panel data from SCO countries 2000 2020, hypothesis existence Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) was tested. results showed validity EKC for countries; particular, gross domesti...

This work aims to investigate a relationship between economic and environmental drivers under the diversification condition including seven activity sectors for set of nine OPEC countries during 1974–2016. For validating two Environmental Kuznets Curve – EKC equations proposed, panel data analysis was followed through long short-run estimations, Pooled Mean Group, Dynamic Fixed Effect estimator...

This article extends the previous studies on environmental economics literature by examining a possible relationship between economic growth, green energy, and quality. Specifically, this investigated three-way linkage renewable quality in case of Saudi Arabia using simultaneous equation modeling approach over period 1990–2016. The following are main findings obtained: (i) unidirectional causal...
