“…Those who generate a high income have opportunities to fulfill their desires and improve their lifestyle and environment (Xin et al, 2022). This has been seconded by Mulderij et al (2021), who documented that people with high incomes spend huge amounts on maintaining their health and lifestyle. Xin et al (2022) revealed that unemployment significantly and positively influences CO 2 emissions in China.…”

Total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are undoubtedly emitted to the environment, humans, ecosystems, and global economic growth. However, less research has examined the effect of economic depression on carbon dioxide emission (CO2), especially in Malaysia. Thus, this study intents to examine the impact of the macroeconomic problems, namely unemployment (UNEMP) and the growing number of people: population (POP), on the CO2 emissions in Malaysia. The study analyzes the data for 28 years, covering the period of 1991–2019, employing a bound ARDL model as an estimation method. The time series data were sourced from the World Bank Development Indicators database. The finding from the study shows that CO2 emissions, POP, and UNEMP have a long-term cointegration. Under this situation, all variables indicated; UNEMP and POP lead to environmental degradation in Malaysia in the long run. The impact of both UNEMP and POP on CO2 emissions is positive. Moreover, it is also found that the damage of economic depression will take only around one year and a month on CO2 emissions. Thus, based on this novel finding, a comprehensive set of economic policies is required to ensure our economy is in good condition and hence suggested for maintaining the environmental quality.

“…Assadi also explained that all religions through their doctrines have regulated and determined the consumption behavior models of their adherents which are the guidelines for economic activities (Assadi, 2003). Likewise, Mulderij et al (2021) explain that sharia-compliant products and services may be preferred by consumers as a result of the doctrine of salvation in religion (Rodero-Cosano & Brañas-Garza, 2000). A person might be religious without only claiming to be so; this is known as religiosity (Sofhian & Suleman, 2017).…”

“…The first factor is income related to social programs. These related studies show that low-income people are typically less receptive to weight-reduction programs (anti-obesity) and that they typically favor free or low-cost initiatives like fruit and vegetable boxes and sports vouchers 288 e-ISSN: 2503-4243 (Mulderij et al, 2021). People with low incomes are less responsive to the cancer screening program (Lofters et al, 2021).…”

Despite the enormous potential represented by an 87% Muslim population and the growing welfare of the Muslim community in Indonesia, Islamic insurance has not grown rapidly during the past decades. The primary issues that hinder the growth of the Islamic insurance sector are thought to be people's level of income and religiosity. Therefore, this paper attempts to investigate the effect of religiosity and income on people's interest in buying Islamic insurance products. This study employed a quantitative approach with a questionnaire as a data mining technique. 200 residents of eight districts and cities in East Java, a province in Indonesia, participated as respondents in this study. The data analysis involved descriptive analysis, inferential analysis, classical assumption test, and hypothesis test. This study demonstrates that people's interest in buying Islamic insurance products is positively and significantly influenced by their religiosity and income, either partially or simultaneously. This result can be taken into account by the Islamic insurance sector when planning the best marketing plan, especially for the wealthy and fervently religious Muslim segment of society.

“…In terms of the growth channel, unemployment stifles economic growth, which in turn leads to lower energy use and, ultimately, lower carbon emissions (enhanced environmental quality). The preference channel, on the contrary, contends that unemployment eventually has a negative impact on the environment because it reduces consumer income, making it challenging for individuals and households to have more opportunities to fulfill their desires and live a healthy lifestyle that improves environmental quality, i.e., the willingness to pay for high environmental quality is hampered by unemployment (see Veisten et al 2004;Meyer 2016;Mulderij et al 2021). However, in an attempt to develop a novel approach to investigating the relationship between unemployment and environmental pollution, Kashem and Rahman (2020) propose the environmental Phillips curve (EPC) hypothesis, which displays strong evidence supporting the negative relationship between them (i.e., the negative relationship between unemployment and environmental degradation), as indicated in the growth channel.…”

Does Environmental Quality React Asymmetrically to Unemployment and Inflation Rates? African OPEC countries' perspective

Environmental degradation, inflation, and unemployment are unquestionably among the current global issues. However, there has not been an in-depth investigation of how unemployment and inflation rates impact environmental quality. This study uses the Panel NARDL model methodology to investigate how the environment (proxied by CO2 emissions) reacts to asymmetric shocks in inflation and unemployment rates. In addition to determining whether the environmental Phillips curve (EPC) hypothesis holds true in the context of African OPEC countries over the period 1990 to 2019. The study presents three interesting findings. First, CO2 emissions are adversely associated with unemployment and inflation rates, meaning that protecting a healthy environment would have to come at the expense of two undesirable outcomes: losing employment and a decline in purchasing power. Second, the asymmetry analysis demonstrates that both negative unemployment and positive inflation shocks have a larger effect on CO2 emissions than the opposite scenario. Finally, long-term evidence exists to support the presence of the EPC in these countries.
