The extant literature has produced mixed evidence on the relationship between financial development and ecological sustainability. This work addresses this conundrum by investigating financial development's direct and indirect consequences on ecological quality utilizing the environmental...

In the paper, I explored links between inflow of FDI, natural resource abundance and economic growth. The paper is an attempt to analyze a lager sample of 106 countries and investigate the impact of FDI inflow on the economic growth of the host country. Further, natural resource abundance is...

Noting that Africa's resource-rich countries have not translated their wealth into sustained economic growth and poverty reduction, this paper shows that by transferring a portion of resource-related government revenues uniformly and universally as direct payments to the population, some...

Can economic growth continue without degrading the quality of the environment? This question has led to a lot of inconclusive findings among researchers. This study examines the impact of greenfield investment, human capital, economic activities, and the role of institutions on the environment...

The study aims to examine the asymmetric impacts of macroeconomic variables on environment degradation. For this purpose, the study utilizes the data of Thailand over the period of 1990-2018. Data are gathered from Global Economy. Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test is used to check the data...

The study investigates the influence of tourism on economic growth and CO2 emissions. In the empirical analysis, unit root and cointegration tests using panel data of European Union countries from 1988 to 2009 are performed to examine the long-run equilibrium relationship among tourism, CO2...

This study investigates the main interrelations generated by the impact of foreign capital along with financial development on clean energy consumption and environmental degradation proxied by the inclusion of CO2 emissions. In doing so, we used panel data techniques targeted at BRICS and...

An autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is applied to examine the short and long-run relationships among foreign direct investment (FDI), economic growth, and the environment in China and India. We find that, for China, FDI tends to deteriorate environmental quality in both the short- and...

Despite the growing number of empirical studies on foreign direct investment (FDI) and energy efficiency (EE) as they relate to green growth, there remains an empirical research gap with respect to whether EE can engender positive synergy with FDI to foster inclusive green growth (IGG) in...
