The Empirical Analysis

Due to the increase in international connectivity and technological advancement, tourism has gained immense momentum in the recent past. Despite its favorable impacts, tourism has proved to be one of the significant contributors to increasing CO2 emissions.  This study attempts to understand better the relationship between tourism, governance, and the CO2 emissions nexus in selected South Asian countries. The study obtained data from WDI and applied FMOLS, DOLS, and FEOLS methods from 1995-2019. It is observed that tourism has a significant and positive impact on CO2 emissions in the case of selected South Asian countries. Concerning the impact of governance on CO2 emissions, it is observed that governance effectiveness is negatively associated with CO2 emissions. It is evident from the empirical analysis that CO2 emissions can be mitigated with effective government policies. Furthermore, it is also suggested that the government aim at effective environmental policies, and attention should be given to sustainable tourism in the case of South Asian economies.JEL Classification: Q50, Q56, Q58How to Cite:Andlib, Z., & Salcedo-Castro, J.

Information And Communication

In the digital era, technology innovation and adoption trigger economic growth and enhance CO2 emissions through productivity, which places it in the mainstream policy debate. For BRICS economies, this paper uses the first method proposed in the literature to quantify their information and communication technology (ICT) and innovatively links each country to their information technology adoption rate, as a surrogate indicator for measuring information and communication technology. Environmental Kuznets curve evidence is also examined, using technology innovation, technology adoption, and trade openness as the control variables for sustainable development. The results show that two out of three technology innovation instruments, fixed telephone, and broadband subscriptions increase CO2 emissions. Simultaneously, mobile cellular subscriptions have a lowering effect on CO2 emission in BRICS. The technology adoption indicators, high-technology exports, and electric power consumption also cause an upsurge in CO2 emission. Moreover, trade openness also enriches the level of CO2 emission in the BRICS regions. There is a need to devise technology innovation and adoption policies to better use technology and to ensure a green environment.

Abstract The main purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between economic growth (GDP per capita) and CO2 emissions in Pakistan. This study applies the theoretical framework of Dietz and Rosa’s STIRPAT Model, widely used for assessing the environment quality. The additional major determinants of CO2 emissions introduced by the extended STIRPAT model include total energy use, Industry, value-added, financial development, trade openness, and urban population. The empirical results reveal that; total energy use has a positive and significant relationship with CO2 emissions. The relationship between GDP and CO2 emissions is positive and insignificant in the country. Industry, value-added has an insignificant relationship with CO2 emissions in the country. The urban population has a direct and positive relationship with CO2 emissions. Trade openness has a long-run positive and significant relationship with CO2 emissions in the country. In general, this case study offers a relevant policy for controlling the enhancement in the CO2 emissions in the selected sample unit; Pakistan, and other similar states that possess the same socio-economic condition.

The Relationship

This study aims to investigate the relationship of economic development, measured as economic growth, energy use, trade and foreign direct investment, on the one hand, and environmental degradation (carbon dioxide (hereafter CO2) emissions), on the other hand, in eleven emerging Eastern European and Central Asian countries during the period of 1990 to 2014. The empirical results give an evidence of a carbon emission Kuznets curve for these emerging economies. The current income level indicates that not every country has reached the turning point for CO2 emissions reductions. Income elasticities for CO2 are positive for all eleven countries. The paper concludes that within the group, Ukraine and Kazakhstan have the most sensitive change in economic growth in respect to CO2. In addition, it concludes that there is a negative effect of total energy consumption on environment as such consumption increases CO2 emissions. The results also show a positive effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on CO2 emissions in Eastern European and Central Asian countries. It is expected that the innovative transition to a low-carbon economy offers great opportunities for economic growth and job creation. Technological leadership (the initiative Industry 4.0) should be accompanied by the development and introduction of new technologies throughout Eastern European and Central Asian countries, hence, the paradigm of “sustainable development” should be considered as fatal. Furthermore, Eastern European and Central Asian economies should consider the experience of policy making implications made by other developing countries in gaining sustainable growth. Econometric analyses prove the existence of different impact on energy consumption of the ICT sector, which plays a key supporting role for intelligent manufacturing. Thus, there is a need for further investigations of the relationship between technology use and CO2 emissions.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the impact of economic growth, trade openness and manufacturing on CO2 emissions in India.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) bounds test approach and uses CO2 emissions, trade, manufacturing and GDP per capita to examine the relationship using an annual time series data from World Development Indicators during 1971 to 2016.FindingsResults depict that there exists a long-run relationship between CO2 emissions and other variables. Trade openness significantly reduces CO2 emissions, whereas manufacturing and GDP have a significant and positive impact on CO2 in the long run.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of the study contribute to the body of knowledge by providing new evidence on the relationship between developmental metrics and the environment. These findings are critical for policymakers and regulatory bodies to focus on economic development without jeopardizing environmental degradation.Practical implicationsIn order to keep its commitment to sustainability, India needs to develop policies that encourage cleaner production methods and establishment of non-polluting industries. Simultaneously, it must disincentivize industries that emit CO2 by policy frameworks such as carbon taxes, pollution taxes or green taxes.Originality/valueNone of studies examine at how these environmental factors interact in India. Kilavuz and Dogan (2020) used the same variables, but their scope was limited to Turkey. As a result, the study is the first to examine this relationship for India, contributing to the body of knowledge on economic growth, manufacturing, trade openness and environmental concerns.

The rapid deterioration of the environment has attracted the world’s attention to find the determinants of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In this line, many studies have probed the factors affecting CO2 emissions but the role of natural resources has been overlooked significantly. Therefore, this study attempts to fill this gap by investigating the role of natural resources in CO2 emissions in four South Asian countries over the annual period of 1990-2019. Other variables of trade openness, renewable energy, energy use and gross domestic product (GDP) were also included in the model. Findings of the autoregressive-distributed lag (ARDL) method reveal that natural resources reduce CO2 emissions in Pakistan and India. The abundance of natural resources, increases CO2 emissions in Bangladesh. This association was not found significant in Sri Lanka. Moreover, this research confirmed Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Renewable energy is reducing CO2 emissions in these countries. Therefore, natural resources are essential to reduce CO2 emissions in Pakistan and India. Bangladesh needs to utilize its natural resources efficiently to improve air quality.
