“…Batabyal and Chowdhury [31] conducted empirical analysis with panel data of 30 countries from 1995 to 2008, and found that corruption indirectly increases income inequality by inhibiting financial development. Using panel data covering the period 1996-2018 and MENA (Middle Eastern and Northern Africa) countries, Lassoued [32] found that a lower level of corruption is associated with less income inequality.…”

The question of how the income inequality of residents affects the level of environmental regulation in the context of official corruption was the core research issue of this study. We analyzed this problem using the panel threshold regression model from 26 provinces in China from 1995 to 2017. We found that when there is no official corruption, the widening of the residents’ income inequality promotes stricter environmental regulations; when the corruption problem is serious, the expansion of the residents’ income inequality leads to the decline in environmental standards; that is, the impact of residents’ income inequality on environmental regulation has a threshold effect due to corruption. In addition, the threshold effect due to corruption of all residents’ income inequality on environmental regulation is mainly generated by the urban residents’ income inequality and the urban–rural income inequality. This paper contributes to the literature that concentrates on the relationship between income inequality and environmental regulation, and shows that corruption is a key factor that can deeply influence that relationship. The research conclusion shows that increasing anti-corruption efforts can not only maintain national political stability, social fairness, and justice, but also be a powerful measure for environmental pollution governance.

“…Based on the This value is smaller than the lower Durbin-Watson limit, which means there is autocorrelation in the model. To overcome the autocorrelation problem that occurs, the model will be estimated using the Generalized Least Squares or GLS method where in this method it is assumed that the model is free from autocorrelation problems (Damodar, 2011;Lassoued, 2021;Shaikh et al, 2021).…”

This study aims to determine the effect of electrical energy production, fossil energy consumption, renewable energy consumption, deforestation and agriculture on climate change in middle-income countries. The method of analysis uses the Fixed Effect Model Cross-section weight regression model. The results of the study found that the production of electrical energy, the consumption of fossil energy had a significant positive effect on climate change. The development of environmentally friendly technologies in the agricultural sector needs to be carried out so that the sector does not damage the climate in middle-income countries. Reducing deforestation and consumption of renewable energy in middle-income countries has a positive effect on efforts to cure climate change.

“…The immense obstacle in monetary increase and improvement (Park, 2012) and it exaggerates the hassle with NPLs while finances are channeling to awful tasks (Mohamad, & Jenkins, 2021;Mehmood, Hidthiir, & Nor, 2019;Toader, Onofrei, Popescu, & Andrieș, 2017;Bougatef, 2015) which usually finally ends up with a growing of NPLs (Kasinger et al, 2021;Taiwo, & Mike, 2021). Subsequently, corruption has an extreme hurdle to the powerful enlistment and division of the assets (Lassoued, 2021;Bougatef, 2015;The Global Economy., 2017). Corruption is a vital factor to decide the non-preforming loans (Hu et al, 2007) at the same time as Perk (2012) recognizes the corruption by way of an international element of the loan first-class within the banking quarter.…”

The main aim of the current study is to theorize an inclusive assessment of the factors of non-performing loans from banking sector in the setting of Pakistan. In this connection, adequate criticism of contemporary literature is being provided in context of relevant macroeconomic indicators which might aggravate the level of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in the conventional commercial banks of Pakistan as well as other regions. As per the study of literature, it has been found that corruption, political stability, accountability, investment profile, credit bank to private area and energy crisis affects the NPLs of conventional banks. In addition, factors like lending interest rate, unemployment, GDP and inflation do explain the variation in NPLs of the banking sector. Political stability, lack of capital capability, lack of efficiency, nominal emphasis on NPLs and lack of efficiency are the present issues being faced by the country. On the other hand, an increase in NPLs affects the internal factors including efficiency, profitability, bank size and capital. It has also been found that NPLs surge through inaccurate decisions by the organizations and political intervention in the banking sector. As per the outcomes of the studies, it has been observed that operational productivity and effectiveness have an adverse and significant relationship with NPLs. The lawmakers should accomplish a vigorous financial state of banks through manufacturing extra revenues. In this way banks will be in a better position to explore the credit worthiness of the creditors which will be ultimately helpful for better loan management. Once the key factors for increase in NPLs are determined, the banks will establish stable and efficient policies for loan management. The purpose behind determining these internal as well as external factors is not mere to highlight their significance but to chalk out measures and directions to control the stability of banking sector and the financial structure.
