This study empirically investigates the existence or not of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in Nordic and Non-Nordic European countries, with carbon dioxide emissions (and ecological footprint for robustness tests) as proxy of environmental quality. The data are spanning from the...

The European Union has set ambitious goals for both energy efficiency and renewable energy use as part of its strategy to combat climate change. Using a panel data regression model that spans from 2012 to 2021, this study aims to evaluate how energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy...

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...
