A growing body of literature probes the impact geopolitical risk (GPR) on CO 2 emissions. However, no study compares findings in case developed and developing countries. Hence, this aims to probe GPR emissions for selected countries while controlling energy consumption, foreign direct investment, economic growth. For purpose, we make use a panel dataset covering period 1990–2020. In long-run, r...

Climate change, global warming, and carbon emission are issues. Countries strengthening their environmental regulations to mitigate the problem. According pollution haven hypothesis, rich countries invest in emerging economies where institutional framework is weak migrate emissions. With this background, study examines impact of introduction tax India regulation restriction distance on India’s ...

Mass consumption of bottled water is contributing to a multitude of environmental problems, including water wastage, pollution, and climate change. The aim of this study is to advance a social-psychological understanding of how to effectively reduce bottled water consumption. An online survey experiment was conducted among students of a Dutch public university to explore outcome beliefs about d...

Using complex networks and spatial econometric methods, we empirically test the extent to which a country’s influence and its position in an international investment network affect environmental quality as well as the country’s role in transboundary pollution transfer. The estimated results show that the ties connecting nodes together in an international investment network have significant impa...

This paper uses a monopolistic competitive framework with many sectors to study the impact of trade liberalization on local and global emissions. We focus on the interplay of the pollution haven effect and the home market effect and show how a large-market advantage can counterbalance a high emission tax, implying that trade liberalization leads to lower global emissions. Generally, our results...

This paper examines the effects of emissions trading on firms’ capacity siting choices in the electric sector, considering three programs that are different by their point-of-regulation: source-, load and first-jurisdictional-deliverer approaches. We model each program by assuming electricity sales are through bilateral contracts, and analyze the solutions properties and economic and emissions ...

The study explores the influence of environmental risk (macroeconomic uncertainty and sustainability risk) on inflow foreign direct investment (FDI), utilizing data from 37 economies in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) 1996 to 2019. empirical analyses were carried out using Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) estimation technique. outcomes show that higher level GDP growth, inflation financial develo...

The pollution haven hypothesis suggests that unilateral environmental regulation could cause adverse “competitiveness” impacts on domestic manufacturers as they lose market share to foreign competitors and relocate production activity – and emissions – to unregulated economies. This is particularly troubling in the case of mitigating climate change, a global pollution externality, where there a...

Motivations behind a country’s importation of waste are categorized into the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH) and resource hunting (RHH). The wastes can lead to environmental sustainability concerns, requiring governments intervene when market fails reduce negative externalities by strengthening implementing regulations. Motivated China’s position within rapidly growing but environmentally dama...

The comparative analysis of the effect economic policy uncertainty on environmental sustainability is imperious as it can provide critical insights into link between policies and sustainability. Economic may have different impacts in economies. present study provides a developed emerging employs pooled ordinary least squares panel quantile regression to analyze data from 2001 2019.
