“…Sajjad et al (2014) indicated climatic threats to international tourism and stress the need to mitigate climatic factors to attract foreign tourists for supporting ecotourism global agenda. Akhmat et al (2014c) in another study confirmed the variability in environmental pollutants due to the conventional usage of energy sources that alter the environment in a form to increase extreme temperature and precipitation rate in SAARC countries. Mudakkar et al (2013) supported the nuclear energy demand that derives industrial share to GDP and resources of freshwater on the cost of CO 2 emissions in Pakistan.…”

This study examines the impact of energy demand, air pollution, fossil fuel energy and greenhouse gas emissions on agricultural production in Pakistan for the period 1980-2013. The study utilized the following variables for agricultural production, i.e., agriculture value added, cotton production, wheat production, rice production and sugarcane production in Pakistan. The study employed generalized method of moments estimator to evaluate different simultaneous equations in relation to environmental factors and agricultural production in a country. The results show that CO 2 emissions have a positive and energy sources have a negative impact on agricultural value added. The fossil source of energy has a direct relationship with the cotton and sugarcane production, while CO

“…Later, Levin et al (2002) develops a panel unit root test by pooling the cross section that allows trend and intercept coefficients to freely move across the cross sections and generated pooled t-statistics. hence, Levin-Lin-Chu (llc) unit root test provides better approximation results as compare to common panel unit root tests ( (Niu et al, 2011); (Akhmat et al, 2014). LLC test suggests the following hypothesis.…”

This study empirically investigates the relationship between CO2 emission and four of its potentially contributing factors (i.e., energy consumption, income, trade openness and population) using time series data from 1971-2013 on five selected economies of South Asia. After confirming that all the series are stationary using unit root test process, the study incorporates three different and advance panel cointegration tests i.e. Pedroni-Kao-and Johansen-Fisher-panel cointegration. All the panel cointegration tests confirm that all the variables cointegrated. The long-run association between the variables is checked using FMOLS-grouped and individual cross-section country in the panel. The FMOLS grouped results show that energy consumption, trade openness and population increases environmental degradation in the panel countries with exception of income which has negative impact and sounds the existence of Environmental Kuznet curve between income and emission. The innovative accounting approach using variance decomposition test and impulse response function is applied to examine the causality amongst the underlined vectors. The results show that there is bidirectional causality between energy consumption and trade openness and unidirectional causality running from energy consumption, trade openness and population to CO2 emission. The results enumerate that the energy consumption and population density will increase in long-run and foresee further environmental degradation in the region.

“…Akhmat et al reported that energy consumption has adverse effects on the environment through the increase in carbon dioxide emissions in SAARC countries. Moreover, in a multivariate framework, Shahbaz et al assert that FDI accelerates energy consumption and economic growth and consequently deteriorates the environment of low and middle income countries.…”

This study examines the influence of green field investment, energy consumption, economic growth and urbanization on the environmental performance of nine selected Asian developing countries over 2003–2014 period. It uses Environmental Performance Index (EPI), developed by the Yale University as proxy for environment. By applying the fixed and random effect estimators and robust least squares technique, the empirical findings show that green field investment has adverse effect on the environmental performance of the nine selected Asian developing countries. However, economic growth is found to have positive influence on the environmental performance. The results suggest that strict environmental regulations should be introduced to mitigate the detrimental effects of foreign capital in these countries and there should not be compromise on the quality of foreign capital. In addition, adequate policies should be formulated to enhance economic growth to ensure sustainable environment in these regions. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1085–1092, 2018
