The concept of environmental sustainability aims to achieve economic development while achieving a sustainable environment. inverted U-shape relationship between growth and quality, also called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), describes the correlation carbon emissions. This study assesses role agriculture energy-related variables evaluating EKC threshold in 54 African economies, income group...

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...

Objetive: This paper analyzes the environmental Kuznets curve (ekc) for North American Free Trade Agreement (nafta) countries during 1971-2014. Methodology: In this regard, unit root, co-integration, and causality tests are applied making use of data panel approach. Results: Results suggest that series in research integrated order one, a long-run relationship among variables is observed. Beside...

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 ...

We test competing hypotheses from political–economic and neo-liberal theories about the effects of economic growth and urbanization on a neglected, but important, indicator of environmental health: aquatic biodiversity. We analyze crossnational data on the number of threatened fish species within national territorial waters using negative binomial regression. We find that, counter to the expect...
