This study conducts a comparative empirical analysis of 132 developed and developing economies to explore the links of ICT with environment over the period 1980-2016. The empirical analysis is based on Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (POLS) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation...

This study examines the link between environmental indicators and output volatility unlike the previous literature that mainly emphasized the importance of carbon emissions and economic growth nexus. Output uncertainty is considered a serious global issue as it undermines economic gains and...

This study examines the environmental effects of financial development using a comprehensive indicator of ecological footprint for a panel of 131 countries from 1971 to 2017. For the empirical analysis, pooled ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed effects model, random effects model,...

Climate change and changing climatic patterns are posing a threat to the sustainability of life on earth. Climate change is attributed to the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)in the atmosphere representing environmental degradation. This study explores the links of renewable energy,...

Climate change induced by the growth of carbon dioxide emissions has become a global concern. Therefore, it's necessary to pinpoint the factors thatdrive carbon emissions to provide suitable mitigation policies. This study uses Taipo Decoupling Index and Log MeanDivisa Index (LMDI) decomposition...

This paper investigates the distributional consequences of international remittances using a panel data set from sixty five developing economies from 1970 to 2015. It focuses on complementarity between financial development and remittances in determining the inequality-impact of remittances...

The purpose of this study is to analytically explore and empirically test the relationship of state capacity with health outcomes using cross sectional and panel datasets of 156 countries from 1970 to 2015. This study uses three dimensions of state capacity namely amount, ability and position....

This study contributes to the happiness-environment nexus by introducing the novel measures of environmental degradation such as species protection, marine protected areas and water quality unlike previous literature that mainly emphasized the importance of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) in...

This study contributes to the health literature by decomposing health outcomes into three dimensions that are physical health, mental health and well-being of individuals. Where physical health is measured using life expectancy, infant mortality and self-rated health indicators while mental...

This paper analyzes the impact of diverse ICT indicators on economic growth at both global and regional levels. The analysis is based on a sample of 149 counties over the period 1980-2015. The empirical exercise is based on Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Pooled OLS, Two Stage Least Squares (2SLS)...
