Theories of the association between environmental degradation and economic growth are not new very important under current global conditions to understand tackle challenges like decarbonisation circular economy among others. Countries must balance with degradation, in extensive literature that deals this association, applied economists have largely used Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) setting...

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 ...

This paper studies the effects of factors such as economic growth, industrial structure and governance on differences in PM2.5 concentration among groups by using Oaxaca-Blinder (OB) decomposition Recentered Influence Function (RIF) regressions. Specifically, we first explore cities find that attributable to returns these contribute more total difference than composition caused means factors. M...

Based on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis, this paper uses panel cointegration techniques to investigate the short and the long-run relationship between CO2 emissions, economic growth, renewable energy consumption and trade openness for a panel of 24 Sub-Saharan Africa countries over the period 1980-2010. The validity of the EKC hypothesis has not been supported for these countr...

This paper extends the “sources of growth” explanation for Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) proposed by Copeland and Taylor in a concise theoretical framework, that is, when sources growth are transformed from physical capital labor to human knowledge, environmental pollution could at first rise then fall with sustainable per capita income. Using provincial panel data 1995 2017 mainland China,...

Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) is a statistical tool to examine the cointegration and causality nexus between economic growth carbon emissions. The EKC widely used in energy environmental economics studies. Although large number of researchers have analyzed by applying different models, some review work has been summarized draw pictorial view extending studies this research field. However, s...

The environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) explains the dynamics associated with income and quality. This study utilizes bibliometric analysis data visualization techniques empirically determines tendencies patterns in EKC literature. Furthermore, intellectual structure, construct development, evolution, collaborations, research clusters within domain during last two decades, from 2000 to 2020. anal...

Research on the valuation of environmental externalities shows that decision makers tend to discount not only over time but across space. Just as time discounting has implications for intergenerational equity,geographical or spatial discounting has implications for intragenerational equity. Similarly, just as positive time discount rates are warranted by positive net rates of growth of the capi...

Environmental sustainability is a burning fact worldwide, especially in developing nations. Equitable economic development, environmental protection, energy efficiency and security have been placed at the apex of discussant policy formulation. This paper establishes relationship between trade quality Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Following Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, we investigate existence an inv...
