Dynamics between environmental taxes and ecological sustainability: Evidence from top‐seven green economies by novel quantile approaches

Abstract

Regulations and taxes are considered essential drivers for climate change policies and improving ecological quality. The prior research primarily relies on regulatory or noneconomic measures to ensure ecological sustainability, while the role of marketbased or economic measures in ecological sustainability is yet to be investigated.Hence, realizing the need for policy shift, this study is an effort to determine the dynamics between environmental taxes and ecological sustainability for the period between 1995/Q1 and 2018/Q4 using data of top-seven green economies by employing novel Quantile-on-Quantile (QQ) regression approach. The outcomes from the QQ approach indicate the mixed and asymmetric impact of the environmental taxes on ecological sustainability in sample countries over different quantiles.However, a higher ecological promoting impact is observed at upper-middle quantiles in most of the sample countries. The robustness of the study's results is validated by Quantile Regression (QR) approach and the nonparametric quantile causality test.The study's outcomes provide significant suggestions to formulate policies for helping sample economies to accomplish Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7 and 13 while ensuring ecological sustainability.

The dynamic impact of green finance and renewable energy on sustainable development in China

“…The reason for the decrease in the impact of geothermal energy may be related to the weakening of the transmission mechanism between the two aspects. This is consistent with Ullah et al (2022) study that geothermal energy as a recyclable and clean energy source can provide a stable base energy source and contribute positively to the sustainable development of the country. Figure 10F shows the isointerval impulse response of hydro energy shocks to sustainable development (εDlnhrr→Dlnesg), the shock of which is constant positive, reaching the maximum in the advance 8 period.…”

Modelling the green logistics and financial innovation on carbon neutrality goal, a fresh insight for BRICS‐T

“…They adopted the MMQ approach and found that FNI boosts environmental degradation; however, when moderating the term innovation as introduced, the outcome shows FNI decreases environmental deterioration in the eurozone. Chishti and Sinha (2022) Ali, et al, 2022a;Ullah, Luo, et al, 2022b).…”

Trade‐off between environmental sustainability and economic growth through coal consumption and natural resources exploitation in China: New policy insights from wavelet local multiple correlation

“…Furthermore, the impact of the existing level of greenhouse gases (GHGs) will persist even if such emissions are reduced. Resultantly, agreements such as the Paris Accords in 2016 necessitate that all nations reduce their emission levels to some degree while also taking into account policies and measures that facilitate human adaptation to climate change (Acheampong et al, 2022; Ullah et al, 2023). Therefore, scholars' interest in the factors that affect GHGs emissions, particularly CO 2 emissions (CO 2 ), has grown.…”
