“…Findings of the short-run PMG model demonstrate that economic development in the study countries positively and significantly influences environmental degradation; the examined results indicate that environmental degradation boosts about 2.93 percent with a 1% increase in economic growth in Table 6. The examined findings are the same as the recent research by Shokoohi et al (2022) and Usman et al (2022); they demonstrated that economic growth adversely influences environmental degradation. On the other hand, tourism has a negative and significant impact on the carbon dioxide emission in the study countries.…”

Travel and tourism have glimpsed a significant and promising implication for economic development. Despite the commendatory implication of tourism, it levies a stringent environmental cost such as environmental degeneration. Hence, this study will incorporate the 18 countries out of the top 20 travel and tourism contributors to economic growth to assess the progressive correlation between tourist arrival, economic growth, energy consumption, and oil consumption on carbon emission by applying panel ARDL spanning from 1995 to 2019. The outcome of the panel ARDL reveals that both periods have witnessed that the endogenous variables have a substantial and positive impact on environmental degradation except for tourism as it indicates −0.22 and −0.48% in the long and short run, having a rate of adjustment as −0.52 toward the equilibrium. The simultaneous quantile regression reveals that in the 50 and 75 percentiles, the effect of tourism has a negative impact, which contradicts the PMG findings. These determinations suggest that the policymakers look for more manageable and environmentally sound tourism and economic growth procedures to safeguard the sustainable environment in the studied countries.

“…One of the factors affecting the environment is the optimal use of resources, so some studies have examined the effect of energy efficiency on environmental degradation (e.g., Ozbugday & Erbas, 2015;Kuittinen & Takano, 2017;Ke et al, 2021;and Yao et al, 2021). Energy efficiency means using less energy at a certain level of gross domestic product (GDP), so increasing energy efficiency reduces energy consumption and thus improves the environmental quality (e.g., Shahbaz et al, 2015;Tajudeen et al, 2018;Yao et al, 2021;and Shokoohi et al, 2022). This study calculates energy efficiency by the slacks-based (SBM) -data envelopment analysis (DEA) method for emerging economies.…”

Do energy efficiency and export quality affect the ecological footprint in emerging countries? A two-step approach using the SBM–DEA model and panel quantile regression

The research was performed in sixteen emerging countries from 1990 to 2014, using a two-step approach. First, a slacks-based (SBM) -data envelopment analysis (DEA) model annually estimates countries' resources and energy efficiency. In the second step, a panel quantile regression was used to assess the impacts of resources and energy efficiency, export quality, and the other variables on the ecological footprint. The SBM-DEA model revealed that Turkey and Hungary were the countries that got the better rank, and China and India got the worst rank on resources and energy efficiency mean. Quantile regression revealed that resources, energy efficiency, and trade openness reduce the ecological footprint. On the other hand, GDP, consumption of fossil fuels, and population contribute to deteriorating the environmental footprint. Export quality and urban population worsen the ecological footprint but only in some quantiles. Export quality in 10th and 25th quantiles and the case of the urban population all quantiles except the 10th one aggravates the ecological footprint. Thus, from a policy perspective, we have variables that require different kinds of intervention to mitigate/reduce the ecological footprint, i.e., requires many policy measures and the active collaboration of citizens.

“…A relationship between economic growth and CO 2 emission for selected South Asian economies during the 1985-2018 period using a fully modified ordinary least square technique was found [113]. Other studies showed carbon dioxide emissions as drivers of economic growth in various countries [114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124].…”

One of the most affected economies by climate change is the agricultural sector. Climate change measured by temperature and precipitation has an impact on agricultural output, which in turn affects the economy of the sector. It is anticipated that using renewable energy will lower carbon emissions that are directly related to climate change. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2), renewable energy usage, and climate change on South Africa’s agricultural sector from 1972 to 2021. The nexus was estimated using an Auto Regressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds test econometric technique. In the short run, findings indicated that climate change reduces agricultural economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions increase as agricultural economic growth increases. The use of renewable energy was insignificant in the short and long run. Carbon dioxide emissions granger causes temperature and renewable energy unilateral. An ARDL analysis was performed to evaluate the short and long-term relationship between agricultural economic growth, climate change, carbon dioxide emissions and renew able energy usage. The study adds new knowledge on the effects of climate change and carbon emissions on the agricultural economy alongside the use of renewable energy which can be used to inform economic policy on climate change and the energy nexus in the agricultural sector. Study findings point to the prioritization of biomass commercialization, rural and commercial farming sector bioenergy regulations and socioeconomic imperatives research is crucial in order to promote inclusive participation in the production of renewable energy.
