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...

Increasing global warming, degrading environmental quality, and waste ending in landfills have become threats to the sustainability of ecosystems. The circular economy (CE) offers an alternative approach to the linear economy, which lowers pressure on the ecosystem. Renewable energy, as an...

This study examines the effects of urbanization and industrialization on carbon emissions for a panel of 156 countries and various income groups over the period 1990-2014 employing the first and second-generation tests. To address the issues of heterogeneity, endogeneity, and cross-sectional...

The exponential rise in energy-related carbon emissions poses a severe risk to both human and other species on the earth. The existence of a two-way relationship between economic growth and energy-specific carbon emissions needs to be delinked to achieve a low carbon economy. The current study...

This study investigates the impact of financial development (FD) on CO2 emissions in the presence of economic growth, industrial growth, and renewable energy consumption. The sample size consists of panel of 89 countries for the period 1992-2014. The empirical analysis has been done by applying...

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 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 environmental effects of digital financial inclusion (DFI) along with green growth using panel data from 102 economies over the period 1990-2022. The analysis used mobile cellular subscriptions (MCSs), bank branches (BB), and automated teller machines (ATMs) as proxy...
