Graphical abstract A plethora of studies have shown that structural change helps nations achieve socioeconomic growth. The influence of structural change on environmental quality, on the other hand, has yet to be thoroughly investigated. As a result, the current study assesses the asymmetric impact of structural change on CO 2 emissions while controlling for the effects of economic progress, renewable energy utilization, and nonrenewable energy in Turkey. To this end, this research used yearly data stretching from 1965 to 2019. The study applied several econometric approaches including nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (NARDL) and spectral causality to assess these associations. The outcomes from the NARDL reveal that variations in the regressors have a nonlinear influence on CO 2 in Turkey. Moreover, the transition in the economy’s structure helps to boost ecological quality, while the findings also show that Turkey’s current economic progress trajectory is unsustainable due to the country’s reliance on fossil fuel-based energy consumption. The outcomes of the spectral causality test also show that structural change can predict CO 2 emissions in Turkey at different frequencies. Based on the study findings, the government should encourage investment in the service sector in order to maintain a suitable level of environmental sustainability.

“…Whereas gross fixed capital formation and labor force participation rate are a proxy for labor and capital, respectively by following Cobb-Douglass production function. All the data are converted into a natural logarithm form to avoid the heterogeneity and issues related to outliers except inflation and real interest rate, since there are negative values, which poses a hurdle for converting to logarithm form of these variables [6,34,[50][51][52][53][54].…”

This study explores the impact of remittance inflows on economic growth, unemployment, and income inequality for high-, low-, and middle-income countries from 1991 to 2020 using fixed effects, random effects, and fully modified ordinary least square estimates. The outcomes confirm that remittance inflows spur the economic growth not only in low-and middle-income countries, but also in high-income countries. However, the remittance inflows increase the unemployment in high-income countries while reducing it in low-and middle-income countries. The income inequality model validated the income inequality mitigating role of remittance inflows across all countries. Based on the estimated outcomes, the study proposes possible policy measures in concluding section.

“…Moreover, environmental degradation is a global concern, and it has gained importance as carbon dioxide emission is the prime emission that will affect the worldwide natural environment (MK 2020 ; Villanthenkodath et al 2021 ). Therefore, many nations agreed to the Kyoto protocol in 1997 so as to shield nature from exploitation.…”

This study aims to evaluate the impact of economic structure on the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in India. The present study deviates from the bulk of study in the literature with the incorporation of both aggregated and disaggregated measures of economic development on the environmental degradation function. For the empirical analysis, the study employed the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach of cointegration to analyse the long-run and short-run relationship during 1971–2014. Further, the direction of the causality is investigated through the Wald test approach. The results revealed that the conventional EKC hypothesis does not hold in India in both aggregated and disaggregated models since economic growth and its component have a U-shaped impact on the environmental quality in India. However, the effect of population on environmental quality is positive but not significant in the aggregated model. Whereas, in the disaggregated model, it is significantly affecting environmental quality. Hence, it is possible to infer that the population of the country increases, the demand for energy consumption increase tremendously, particularly consumption of fossil fuel like coal, oil, and natural gas, and is also evident from the energy structure coefficient from both models. This increase is due to the scarcity of renewable energy for meeting the needs of people. On the contrary, urbanization reduces environmental degradation, which may be due to improved living conditions in terms of efficient infrastructure and energy efficiency in the urban area leading to a negative relation between urbanization and environmental degradation.
