“…Our results are in line with the previous studies of (Blanco et al, 2013;Salahuddin et al, 2018) which indicated that FDI stimulate the carbon emissions. Our results are also in similar to the study of Bakhsh et al (2017) that has shown that FDI has significant negative impact on carbon emissions in Pakistan. Our results are in contrast with the study of Merican et al (2007) which found that there is no impact of foreign direct investment on carbon emission in context of Singapore.…”

The objective of this paper is to explore the nexus of innovation-environment and economic growth in the context of the Indian economy. To achieve the study objective, we explored the role of technological innovation, FDI, trade openness, energy use and economic growth toward carbon emissions. Using the data of 1985-2017, the study employed ARDL bound testing and VECM methods to capture the effects of technological innovation, trade openness, FDI, energy use and economic growth on CO 2 emissions. Empirical estimation has confirmed the existence of long-run cointegration. Similarly, in the long-run, it is found that trade openness, energy use and economic growth positively reinforce CO 2 emissions. In contrast, technological innovation and FDI negatively reinforce CO 2 emissions in the long-run. Further, VECM indicate that the relationship among innovation, trade openness, and energy use is bidirectional in the long-run.

“…Gokmenoglu and Taspinar () use a bounds test to investigate the relationship between CO 2 emissions and FDI for Turkey over the 1974–2010 period and also provide evidence of the pollution haven hypothesis. Bakhsh, Rose, Ali, Ahmad, and Shahbaz () analyze the effects of FDI on environmental pollution using a simultaneous equation model and annual data for Pakistan over the period of 1980–2014 and find that FDI has a significantly positive impact on pollution. Behera and Dash () examine the relationship between FDI and CO 2 emissions for the South and Southeast Asian region between 1980 and 2012 and suggest that FDI substantially affects CO 2 emissions in the South and Southeast Asian region.…”

This study investigates the causal relationship between carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and economic factors in Chinese provinces. Then, this study undertakes a comparative analysis of the eastern, central, and western provinces using a vector autoregressive model and panel data for 1997–2015. The results show there is unidirectional causality from per capita gross domestic product (GDP) to CO2 emissions in eastern and central provinces. Meanwhile, there is unidirectional causality from CO2 emissions to GDP per capita in western provinces. There is unidirectional causality between CO2 emissions to foreign direct investment in central and western provinces but no impact in eastern provinces. However, there is unidirectional causality between CO2 emissions to export volume only in eastern provinces. Based on the results, this study concludes that to reduce CO2 emissions, China should not only implement strict laws and regulations but should also advocate green investment, technological innovation, development of a circular economy, and sustainable development.

“…The agricultural sector plays a key role in the upsurge of economic growth of any country by enhancing economic development. Several studies have highlighted CO 2 emissions and their association with energy consumption, economic growth, agricultural growth, natural gas consumption, renewable and sustainable energy, economic and population growth, forest and agriculture and renewable waste [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. In this study, we demonstrate the association between CO 2 emissions and agricultural production in Pakistan, including cropped area, energy use, fertilizer offtake, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, improved seed distribution, total food grains and water availability.…”

The rapid agricultural development and mechanization of agronomic diligence has led to a significant growth in energy consumption and CO2 emission. Agriculture has a dominant contribution to boosting the economy of any country. In this paper, we demonstrate carbon dioxide emissions’ association with cropped area, energy use, fertilizer offtake, gross domestic product per capita, improved seed distribution, total food grains and water availability in Pakistan for the period of 1987-2017. We employed Augmented Dickey-Fuller and Phillips-Perron unit root tests to examine the variables’ stationarity. An autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing technique to cointegration was applied to demonstrate the causality linkage among study variables from the evidence of long-run and short-run analyses. The long-run evidence reveals that cropped area, energy usage, fertilizer offtake, gross domestic product per capita and water availability have a positive and significant association with carbon dioxide emissions, while the analysis results of improved seed distribution and total food grains have a negative association with carbon dioxide emissions in Pakistan. Overall, the long-run effects are stronger than the short-run dynamics, in terms of the impact of explanatory variables on carbon dioxide emission, thus making the findings heterogeneous. Possible initiatives should be taken by the government of Pakistan to improve the agriculture sector and also introduce new policies to reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide.
