Economic and environmental efficiencies of greenhouse gases’ emissions under institutional influence

Research on the Advance Role of Institutional Quality on Achieving Environmental Efficiency in Sub Sahara Africa

“…Conflict resolution raises fundamental concerns that exacerbate inefficiencies in emission reduction. Although institutions have a role in addressing these concerns, their influence is difficult to quantify, and different institutions can have different effects (Tateishi et al, 2020). Improving environmental efficiency is critical to halting environmental degradation and averting the worst effects of climate change .…”

Cross country comparisons of environmental efficiency under institutional quality. Evidence from European economies

“…The outcomes are consistent with findings of Sun et al (2019) who carried out the study to find the effect of institutional quality and green innovation on technical energy efficiency. Moreover, institutional quality fosters the environmental efficiency of countries by decreasing emissions (Riti et al, 2021;Tateishi et al, 2020) and by alleviating the relationship between ecological pressure and the complexity of the economic system (Ahmad et al, 2021).…”

“…For instance, Sun et al (2019) found a significant positive influence of institutional quality on total factor energy efficiency. Tateishi et al (2020) provide evidence that higher standards of political institutional quality were beneficial for environmental efficiency. Moreover, the literature is scarce in providing detailed information on the effect of different dimensions of institutional quality (e.g.…”

“…There is unanimity in recognizing that low quality of institutions is related to a lower efficiency (Barra and Ruggiero, 2022) due to three main motivations: 1) it represents a cost for innovators preventing thus, resources from productive activities; 2) it decreases the motivations for investment in innovative segments of the economy and 3) it hinders the knowledge diffusion promoting the growth of generic rather than specific forms of capital and disincentive foreign direct investments (M eon and Weill, 2005). Environmental economics literature unfolds that institutional quality fosters the environmental sustainability by decreasing emissions (Riti et al, 2021;Tateishi et al, 2020) and by alleviating the relationship between ecological pressure and the complexity of the economic system (Ahmad et al, 2021). However, only a small number of studies have analyzed how environmental efficiency is impacted by the quality of institutions.…”

Assessing urban atmospheric environmental efficiency and factors influencing it in China

“…France, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Austria, and Sweden were found to generally have high values of environmental efficiency. Due to differences in environmental efficiency among countries, Tateishi et al (2020) analyzed the influence of institutional quality on environmental efficiency through an analytical framework that is compatible with new institutional economics and production theory. They considered the laws and regulations that have failed to address environmental quality, and concluded that highly developed institutions can play a significant role in improving the situation.…”
