This study examines the relationship between economic development and environmental degradation for a global panel of 120 countries over the period 1990- 2016. We apply the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) to evaluate the environmental impact of economic development. This study makes an attempt to bring...

This study provides insight into sustainability challenges in Venezuela by exploring the causal interactions between oil price, energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Venezuela. Economic growth, government consumption expenditure and trade openness are included as additional...

The paper investigates the linkage between economic and financial development and decline in environmental quality in BRIC economies for the period 1992 – 2004. As measure of robustness, we also introduce and examine behavior of results considering USA and Japan. We employ feasible general...

This paper examines the impact on the environment of economic growth and trade openness in 261 cities in the People's Republic of China (PRC) over the period 2004-2013, using a recently developed, continuously updated, fully modified method that allows for cross-sectional dependence and...

This paper represents an addition to the scanty empirical evidence relating to the impactof climate change on the manufacturing sector. To study the effect of temperature onenergy use, CO2 emissions, and firms’ economic performance, we combine daily temperatureinformation from 11,000 German...

The rapid rise in greenhouse gas emissions have become a global concern catching the attention of policy makers and researchers all over the world. Fossil fuel combustion has been named as the major source of greenhouse gas emissions, meanwhile, studies focusing on fossil fuel impact on CO2...

We provide a spatial theory of clean growth to assess the global impact of the rise of renewable energy. We model the details of the combined production and transmission network of electricity ("the grid") that determine the supply and losses of energy in space. The local rate of clean energy...

Developing Asia is the driver of today's emissions intensive global economy. As the principle source of future emissions, the region is critical to the task of global climate change mitigation. Reflecting this global reality and a range of related domestic issues, the governments of the People's...
