“…Besides economic growth, factors influencing the pollution level include, among others, institutional quality and democracy ( Tamazain and Rao, 2010 ; You et al., 2015 ), financial development ( Nasir et al., 2019 , Pham et al. 2020 ), trade measures such as trade openness and FDI ( Hille and Shahbaz, 2019 ; Hille et al., 2019 ), urbanization ( Pham et al., 2020 ), transportation ( Nassani et al., 2017 ), general as well as energy innovations ( Shahbaz et al., 2018a ; Yang et al., 2014 ), and government environmental expenditures ( Hille and Lambernd, 2020 ). Although existing studies also treated financial development as an important determinant in pollution modelling, ambiguous results are reported ( Zaidi et al., 2019 ).…”

“…This is the key environmental protection mechanism of the EKC hypothesis. The evidence on the EKC hypothesis can be best described as mixed ( Onafowora and Owoye, 2014 ; Apergis, 2016 ; Özokcu and Özdemir, 2017 ; Nasir et al., 2019 ; Pham et al, 2020 ). This contrast suggests that we shall see the growth-emissions nexus in a broader context and account for country-level differences as well as other factors.…”

Highlights Analysis of the historical determinants of long-run CO 2 emissions in the UK Financial development and energy use increase CO 2 emissions, while R&D expenditures reduce them Environmental effect of economic growth supports the EKC hypothesis Relationship between R&D expenditures and CO 2 emissions is analogues to the EKC A U-shaped relationship is found between financial development and CO 2 emissions

Innovation technologies have been recognized as an efficient solution to alleviate carbon emissions stem from the transport sector. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of innovation on carbon emissions stemming from the transportation sector in Mediterranean countries. Based on the available data, Albania, Algeria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Turkey are selected as the 8 developing countries; and Cyprus, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, and Spain are selected as the 6 developed countries and included in the analysis. Due to data constraints, the analysis period has been determined as 1997–2017 for the developing Mediterranean countries and 2003–2017 for the developed Mediterranean countries. After determining the long-term relationship with the panel co-integration method, we obtained the long-term coefficients with PMG and DFE methods. The empirical test results indicated that the increments in the level of innovation in developing countries have a positive impact on carbon emissions due to transportation if the innovation results from an increase in patents. An increase in the level of innovation in developed countries has a positive impact on carbon emissions due to transportation if the innovation results from an increase in trademark. As a result, innovation level has a positive effect on carbon emissions due to transportation, and this effect is stronger for developed countries.

“…4 The empirical link between environmental degradation, economic growth and financial development has been extensively analyzed in recent years. For example, economic growth, trade openness and foreign direct investment are generally found to increase environmental degradation (Nasir et al 2019;Pham et al 2020), while financial development and energy use tend to increase CO 2 emissions. On the other hand, R&D expenditures and energy research innovations reduce them (Shahbaz et al, 2019(Shahbaz et al, , 2020Nguyen et al 2021).…”

Socially responsible investing: from the ethical origins to the sustainable development framework of the European Union

In this work, we present an overview of the historical development of socially responsible investing (SRI). We will argue that such a financial activity has been boosting in recent decades from a niche, mainly as a religious-led exclusionary practice, towards a mainstream strategy of risk analysis for institutional and retail investors. We also discuss the advances and possible drawbacks that regulatory activity and harmonization process on such industry have achieved at international level in recent years, with a special focus on the European Union. The study shows that the lack of a globally accepted taxonomy on what constitutes sustainable activities, of regulatory clarity and of high-quality data allowing for comparisons across industries and regions, together with practical and behavioural complexities are major critical issues that discourage SRI industry at the global level.
