Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the effects of population growth (PG), environmental quality and trade openness on economic growth of major developed and developing countries. Design/methodology/approach The authors have used the panel unit root and panel co-integration tests over the period 1960-2013. Granger causality test is used to find out the direction of causality between the variables. Findings There is a bi-directional relationship between economic growth and trade openness, and a unidirectional relation, running from trade openness to CO2 emissions in the three developed countries. PG has a positive effect on economic growth in three developing countries and there exists a bidirectional relationships between CO2 emissions and PG and a unidirectional relationship from PG to economic growth and from trade openness to economic growth. Furthermore, there is a unidirectional relationship from PG to economic growth and bidirectional relationships between trade openness and economic growth for the six selected countries. Originality/value This is the first comprehensive research that combined the selected three major developed and three major emerging countries of the world to explore the effects of three important variables on economic growth. The authors’ findings will help the policy makers as well as the people of these six countries. this study has shown the aggregate and disaggregate results, so a comparison between the groups of countries is possible. Therefore, this research has significant contributions.

“…Many academics have used time-series analysis to investigate the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions, for example, in Tunisia. (Jebli and Youssef 2015), Algeria (Bouznit andPablo-Romero 2016), Morocco (Kofi Adom et al 2012), Iran (Sanjari and Delangizan 2010), Qatar (Charfeddine 2017), Saudi Arabia (Alshehry and Belloumi 2014), the United Arab Emirates (Sbia et al 2014), Jordan (Ito 2016), and Qatar (Charfeddine 2017). Other research evaluated the factors influencing the relationship between GDP and carbon dioxide emissions using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) (Destek and Ozsoy 2015;Allard et al 2018).…”

Sustainable development is affected by environmental problems and climate change, which are frequently attributed to economic growth. Greener economies, therefore, rely heavily on technological advancements. Environmental conditions keep deteriorating despite increasing eco-innovations and foreign investments in most developing nations. Consequently, it is crucial to connect these constructs to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) to address climate hazards, reduce poverty, and achieve a sustainable transition while maintaining economic growth. In this paper, we use the geographic Durbin model to examine the effects of economic growth on carbon emissions while connecting the SDGs for nine countries in the Middle East and North African region during the last 20 years. Second, the paper investigates the mediation effect of eco-innovation-related SDGs. Third, this article uses the spatial stepwise regression model to explore the moderating function of FDI-related SDGs on the mediation model. The findings of this paper are that: (i) Economic growth positively impacts carbon emissions that derail the realization of the various SDGs. (ii) Eco-innovation-related SDGs mediate the relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions; (iii) FDI-related SDGs have a dual moderating effect on the mediation model. This research advances our understanding of how the variables mentioned above maximize the efforts geared towards mitigating climate stressors and reducing poverty in pursuit of attaining a desired future.

The paper aims at evaluating the nonlinear and complex relations between CO emissions, economic development, and petrol prices to obtain new insights regarding the shape of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in the USA and in the UK in addition to introducing a newly proposed nonlinear approach. Within this respect, the paper has three purposes: the first one is to combine the multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLP) with Markov-switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR) type nonlinear models to obtain the MS-VAR-MLP model. The second is to utilize one of the largest datasets in the literature covering the 1871-2016 period, a long span of data starting from the late eighteenth century. Since the emission, economic development, and petrol price relation is subject to nonlinearity and trajectory changes due to many historical events, the development of the MS-VAR-MLP model is a necessity to contribute to the ongoing debate regarding the shape of the EKC curve and the stability of the relation. The third purpose is to develop the MS-VAR-MLP-based regime-dependent sensitivity analysis, which eases the visual interpretation of the nonlinear causal relationships, which are allowed to have asymmetric interactions in different phases of the expansionary and recessionary periods of the business cycles. Our results provide clear deviations from the findings in the literature: (i) the shape of the EKC curve cannot be assumed to be stable and is subject to regime dependency, nonlinearity, and magnitude dependency; (ii) the forecast results suggest that incorporation of regime switching and neural networks provide significant improvement over the MS-VAR counterpart; and (iii) for both USA and UK and for the 1871-2016 period, the positive impacts of economic growth on emissions cannot be rejected for the majority of the phases of the business cycles; however, the magnitude of this effect is at various degrees. In addition, the incorporation of petrol price provides significant findings considering its effects on emission and economic growth rates. The analysis suggest clear deviations from the expected shape of the EKC curve and puts forth the necessity to utilize more complex empirical methodologies to evaluate the EKC since the emissions-economic development relation is more complex than it was assumed. Following these findings, several policy recommendations are provided. Lastly, the proposed MS-VAR-MLP methodology is compared with the MS-VAR model and various advantages and disadvantages are enumerated.
