We revisit the concept of energy poverty by considering population's access to consumption. stress critical relevant linkages including (i) economic growth and consumption, (ii) consumption income inequality (iii) electricity production. Our analytical framework is based on a panel data-set from over 200 countries for period 2000–2019. To best our knowledge, this first study focus both global a...

Economic growth is typically attributed as the fundamental cause of environmental problems due to higher production which generates more pollution. The EKC hypothesis used test link between economic and In this regard, study aims ascertain validity in Somalia using time series data spanning 1989 2020. autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) technique applied verify presence integrations sampled v...

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...

This study explores the nexus among clean energy, economic growth, urbanization, trade openness, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in an emerging economy, Sri Lanka. An autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) econometric technique different diagnostic tests are used to investigate linkages. The pairwise Graner causality approach is applied direction. estimated results have confirmed that energy ...

No. There has never been good evidence for a pattern of rising inequality in low-income countries and falling inequality in higher income countries. The only evidence that appears to support the Kuznets hypothesis is the cross-sectional pattern of inequality levels across countries, although the Kuznets hypothesis is an assertion about the path of inequality within countries. Numerous cross-sec...

in this paper, we have calculated the environmental efficiency for india, turkey, egypt and iran. the results show that iran’s environmental efficiency has experienced a decreasing trend from 1991 to 2007and india, turkey, egypt and iran have the highest environmental efficiency, respectively. we also have investigated the environmental kuznets curve for this period using data envelopment analy...
