“…Previous studies have examined technological innovation and environmental issues using the time series method, 28 , 74 and ordinary least squares (OLS). 75 Compared with other methods, the 2SLS approach was created as a simpler model that requires less data and has useful applications for estimation. 76 2SLS can handle issues of heteroskedasticity, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and endogeneity, and performs better than time series and OLS methods.…”

“…However, scholars have provided conflicting and uncertain results regarding the impact of entrepreneurship on environmental pollution. For example, Khezri and Muhamad (2023) believed that the improvement of entrepreneurship promotes the alleviation of environmental degradation by improving technical conditions, but the development of entrepreneurship worsens the negative impact of energy intensity rising on environmental pollution [18].…”

To foster economic and social development, many countries have adopted entrepreneurship promotion policies. However, existing research on entrepreneurship promotion policy primarily focuses on its employment incentive effect, while neglecting to examine the underlying impact mechanism and its effect on environmental sustainability. Based on the quasi-natural experiment of China's National Entrepreneurial Pilot Cities, this paper employs the difference-in-differences model to examine the impact of the National Entrepreneurial Cities pilot policy on urban carbon emission efficiency. The study finds that China's National Entrepreneurial Cities pilot policy has generally impaired urban carbon emission efficiency, and a series of robustness tests show that the results are robust. National Entrepreneurial Cities pilot policy decreases urban carbon emission efficiency by increasing the proportion of necessity entrepreneurship, inhibiting the upgrading of industrial structure, and increasing overcapacity. The government's environmental concerns and the public's environmental concerns play a prominent role in improving the adverse impact of the National Entrepreneurial Cities on carbon emission efficiency and mainly play a significant role in central and western cities, cities with low per capita GDP, cities with high economic growth pressure, and resource-dependent cities. The research of this paper provides a reference for the government to promote entrepreneurship while taking environmental effects into account.

Recently, the globe has been facing several challenges, and environmental deterioration has become more prominent. Therefore, to deal with such environmental issues, the globe has tried to introduce several green initiatives via the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals, but the problem remains intact. However, practitioners have no more choice but to exclude emerging economies from this race. For instance, to understand the response of emerging economies toward a sustainable environment, this study considers BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) economies. Similarly, the current empirical study utilizes innovative environmental determinants such as real income, urbanization, entrepreneurial activities, per capita renewable energy, financial innovation and environmental policy for selected regions from 2000 to 2021. However, the findings of the advanced estimators' series show the significant contribution of per capita green energy consumption, environmental policy and entrepreneurial activities toward environmental sustainability. In contrast, income, financial inclusion and urbanization contribute to environmental damage. Because of green energy supportive behavior, this study makes an additional step to investigate the mediating effect on financial inclusion, environmental policy and entrepreneurship. However, the mediating effect only supports environmental policy and entrepreneurship activities to reduce environmental pressure. From the policy perspective, the specified economies should allocate their financial resources to clean & green projects to attain the desired level of sustainability.
