“…Apart from that carbon emissions may be reduced if polluting industries undergo technological upgrading and adopt energy efficient technologies (Zhang and Zhang, 2018;Liu et al, 2023). Finally, the findings of this research highlight that transition countries need to integrate climate change considerations in the long-term development strategies more profoundly to decrease carbon emissions and maintain sustainable economic development.…”

This study explores the intricate interplay among CO2 emissions, economic development, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, trade, and energy consumption in post-communist republics spanning from 1995 to 2017. Utilizing a panel cointegration test, we unveil a profound and enduring relationship among these variables. Long-term elasticities are meticulously examined through Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) regressions, both of which consistently reveal a positive association between GDP per capita, FDI inflows, trade, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions per capita over the long term. Moreover, employing a panel causality test, our analysis identifies a robust unidirectional causality, specifically from CO2 emissions to energy consumption, signifying a pivotal link in the chain of influence (p<0.01). These findings shed light on the nuanced dynamics of CO2 emissions and their intricate connections with economic growth, foreign investments, trade, and energy usage in the post-communist context.

“…The baseline hypothesis of this study is that green taxation can have a significant positive influence on life expectancy. Such a narrative is also based on the premise that increasing the cost of pollution will encourage individuals and businesses to switch to less harmful alternatives ( 39 , 40 ). This has the potential to improve public health and even extend people’s lifespans by curtailing pollution levels and encouraging environmentally responsible lifestyles ( 38 ).…”

IntroductionThe synergy of green taxation, public health expenditures, and life expectancy emerges as a compelling narrative in the intricate symphony of environmental responsibility and public well-being. Therefore, this study examine the impact of green taxation on life expectancy and the moderating role of public health expenditure on the said nexus, particularly in the context of China, an emerging economy.MethodsStatistical data is collected from the National Bureau of Statistics of China to empirically examine the proposed relationships. The dataset contains provincial data across years.ResultsUsing fixed-effect and system GMM regression models alongwith control variables, the results found a positive and statistically significant influence of green taxation on life expectancy. Moreover, public health expenditures have a positive and statistically significant partial moderating impact on the direct relationship.DiscussionThese findings suggest that the higher cost of pollution encourages individuals and businesses to shift to less environmentally harmful alternatives, subsequently improving public health. Moreover, government investment in the health sector increases the availability and accessibility of health facilities; thus, the positive impact of green taxation on public health gets more pronounced. The findings significantly contribute to the fields of environmental and health economics and provide a new avenue of research for the academic community and policymakers.

“…Moreover, recent empirical studies show that results are at best mixed. While some studies confirm the negative impact of natural resources on economic growth, others show that the relationship is positive or non-linear (Ben-Salha et al, 2021;Abdulahi et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2023).…”

The goal of this study is to explore the relationship between natural resource abundance and human development. In particular, account for the role of financial development. This study uses data from 51 BRI countries over the period 2000-2018. Concerning the HDI, the results suggest U-shaped relationship between total natural resource rents and HDI. Similarly, gas rents, mineral rents and oil rents are non-linearly related to HDI in BRI countries. For example, in the case of total rents, once its share in GDP exceeds 42.8%, further dependence on natural resources leads to increase in HDI. In our sample, only Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman were above the turning points at some observation years. The interaction term is positive and significant. This implies that increase in natural resource rents in countries with higher levels of financial development does not lead to a reduction of human development. In a similar vein, domestic credit to private sector alleviates negative effect of oil and mineral rents.
