Moderating Role

Abstract The recent study aim is to scrutinize the moderating role of natural resources between institutional quality and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 106 developing countries from 1996 to 2017 by using dynamic fixed effect, generalized method of moments (GMM) and system generalized method of moments (system GMM) estimators as well as apply the instrumental fixed effect, the instrumental time fixed effect and instrumental system GMM estimators as robustness. We make use of dynamic models and instrumental system GMM to reduce the result of autocorrelation increasing from misspecification of a model as well as clear the biases from unnecessary data and solve the possible endogeneity issues. The empirical results indicate that financial development, trade, and institutional factors: corruption perception control, government effectiveness, political stability, regulatory quality, rule of law, and voice and accountability play a vital role in CO2 emissions reduction but natural resources along with economic growth are the core factors that cause CO2 emission in developing countries. On the opposing, natural resources boost the indirect impact of institutional quality on CO2 emissions in developing countries.

Moderating Role

Environmental sustainability is a major concern of contemporary societies, businesses, and governments. However, there is a lack of knowledge as to how countries can achieve the goal to end poverty, whilst protecting the planet. It is the objective of our study to examine the moderating role of institutional quality on the financial development and environmental quality nexus in South Asia. Our sample consists of panel data of five South Asian countries (India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Pakistan) from 1984 to 2018. We find that financial development increases CO2 emissions in this region, implying that countries in South Asia have utilized financial development for capitalization, instead of improving production technology. Institutional quality moderates the negative impact of financial development on environmental sustainability. An implication of our findings is that efforts to improve institutional quality may help to promote sustainable development in South Asia.

Moderating Role

This paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment, institutional quality on profit repatriation and net primary income taken as a proxy of profit repatriation. Inflation and GDP per capital were taken as controls. Data sample of 54 countries (developing) has been used for the first model of this research. And data sample of 100 countries (developed and developing both) has been used for the second model. The sample period is from 2008-2017. Finding of this study indicate that institutions quality is negatively impacting profit repatriation and net primary income. It also reveals foreign direct investment is negatively affecting profit repatriation but positively impacting net primary income. Results reveal that investors are unwilling to invest in countries where institutions encourage corruption, because these factors increase the cost of doing business. Developing countries have weaker institutions than developed countries and so, investors will be taking their profit back and not willing to re-invest in that particular country.

Moderating Role

Frequent use of cannabis has been associated with poor outcome in patients with psychosis or schizophrenia, and research has become more and more interested in the question whether cannabis may actually cause psychosis or schizophrenia. Since only a minority of cannabis users eventually develops psychosis or schizophrenia, cannabis is suggested to be a component cause, potentially interacting with environmental as well as genetic factors. However, little is known about this putative interaction. Recent research in our group has therefore focused on differential sensitivity to cannabis and its psychosis-inducing effects. Experimental and observational work for instance showed that a functional polymorphism within the COMT gene moderates the acute effects of cannabis on psychosis outcome. In this presentation new evidence from epidemiological work is presented, showing gene-environment interactions within the cannabis-psychosis association. These results point to a moderating role for both age of onset of cannabis use and childhood trauma. Also a certain haplotype within the COMT gene was found to increase the risk of developing schizophrenia after adolescent cannabis use. Complex gene-environment interactions as well as interactions between cannabis and other environmental risk factors seem to underlie the cannabis-psychosis relationship. Possible biological mechanisms such as sensitization processes that may underlie these interactions will be discussed.

New Evidence

This study investigates the effect of trade openness on income inequality using the panel system generalised method of moments (GMM). The sample countries consist of 65 developed and developing countries and the time period covers from 1984 to 2012. This study also provides new evidence that sheds light on the role of institutional quality in influencing the effectof trade openness on income inequality. The empirical results reveal that trade openness tends to increase income inequality. In addition, the marginal effect also revealed that institutional quality has a corrective effect on the trade openness – income inequality nexus.
