“…The fstatistics value (2.3595) of the ARDL test is less than the critical values, showing the absence of cointegration. Similarly, the F statistics value of the NARDL is greater than the upper bound value and outcomes show the occurrence of cointegration among the variables (Amjad et al, 2021;Khan, Khan, & Zafar, 2023). The output of NARDL is highlighted in Table 5.…”

To achieve sustainable growth, energy is incumbent because all modern production is based on it. Unfortunately, about 80% of the global population uses polluted energy, adversely damaging the environment. The present study asses the asymmetric role of renewable energy in the mitigation of CO2 emissions in Pakistan. The Non-linear ARDL econometric approach is used to estimate the empirical results of the time series data from 1980 to 2020. The study found that positive change in renewable energy adversely declines CO2 emissions while negative change increases CO2 emissions. Additionally, the HDI and trade openness lessens CO2 emissions, while urbanization increases CO2 emissions. The study recommends that Pakistan should promote eco-friendly consumption patterns. Pakistan should focus on promoting renewable energy resources, which will help combat the upsurge in industrial and housing carbon dioxide emissions.

“…Further, both fossil fuel and primary energy use to display a positive influence on all quantiles of EF. Khan et al (2023) investigate India's EF, income, energy, urbanization and financial development using non-linear ARDL bound tests to reveal that energy and urbanization shocks have asymmetric impacts on EF. Financial development symmetrically influences the footprint.…”

PurposeIn the new global economy, environmental degradation is still among the crucial struggles braving policymakers. The intention of the current analysis, therefore, is to investigate the asymmetric impact of energy use, trade openness, population changes and urbanization, on the ecological footprint (EF) in four ASEAN countries by using time span data extending from 1972 to 2018.Design/methodology/approachThe stationarity of the variables was first demonstrated by using a quantile autoregression unit root test. Then the cointegration relationship among quantiles was verified. In the third step, this study investigated the pattern of causality in quantiles which allowed them to model any locational asymmetry in such a relationship. In the final part of the paper, the asymmetric quantile approaches the methods adopted to address the ways in which the considered variables impacted on the EF.FindingsThe outcomes demonstrated that the estimated coefficient of the variables was generally found significant and in line with the expected impact sign. Likewise, locational asymmetry was detected from the fact that the considered variables at the upper tails did not operate in the same way as those in the lower ones. In this case, the results suggest that a rise in energy consumption, as well as a negative shock to economic growth and/or trade openness, all diminish environmental quality. In contrast, promoting economic growth, a positive shock to trade openness, and human capital reduce environmental degradation.Originality/valueAs far as is known, the current study among the early attempt to explore the asymmetric impact of trade openness, energy use, population changes and urbanization, on the EF in the ASEAN countries.

“…Moreover, the three used models (ARDL, DYNARDL the KRLS) in this paper suppose that positive and negative shocks of considered determinants (particularly for the EG) have symmetric effects. However, positive and negative shocks can exert asymmetric impacts on EF that can be easily explained by NARDL models as done by Khan et al (2023). For future research, this nonlinearity associated with asymmetry properties needs to be explored.…”

PurposeThis study attempts to come in help for Morocco by investigating rigorously the linkage between environmental degradation, measured by ecological footprint (EF), and the gross domestic product growth (EG), the human capital (HC) index and the natural resources (NR) depletion over the period of 1980:Q1 to 2021:Q1. The paper examines the validity of environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in the Moroccan context.Design/methodology/approachUnlike previous studies, which are based only on the autoregressif dynamic linear (ARDL) model, this paper investigates two recent models: the novel DYNARDL simulation approach and the Kernel-based regularized least squares (KRLS) technics and uses in addition the frequency domain causality (FDC) test.FindingsModels output say a significant and negative association between HC and the EF and a significant and positive interplay between economic growth and environmental quality in the long term. In the short term, findings reveal a significant and negative association between NR and the EF. Based on the FDC test, results conclude about a unidirectional causality from NR to the EF in short-, medium-, and long-term. Moreover, results validate the EKC hypothesis for the Moroccan environment sustainability.Originality/valueIn this study, the researchers use the “ecological footprint” as dependent variable to obtain more accurate and comprehensive assessment of environmental deterioration. Based on time series data investigations, this study is the first paper, which validates the EKC hypothesis and develops important policy implications for Morocco context to achieve sustainable development targets.
