Environmental policy innovation in China and examining its dynamic relations with air pollution and economic growth using SEM panel data

Some Methodological Considerations for the relationship between Environmental Degradation, Economic Growth and Energy Consumption for South Asian Countries

“…linear with positive slope (Ardakani and Seyedaliakbar, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Zaheer and Ali, 2021), Inverted U-shaped relationship (Apergis and Ozturk, 2015;Özokcu and Özdemir, 2017;Salazar-Núñez et al, 2020;Shahbaz et al, 2020), N-shapes relationship (Aljadani et al, 2021;Allard et al, 2018;Ardakani and Seyedaliakbar, 2019;Begum et al, 2015;Özokcu and Özdemir, 2017), or even no relationship (Aslanidis and Iranzo, 2009;Jaunky, 2011;Robalino-López et al, 2015). 12 In most of the studies cited above the researchers have neglected the problem of heteroscedasticity, serial correlation, and Crosssectional Dependence (CD) which are the potential problems of a panel data (Asif et al, 2015;Azimi et al, 2020 , 2021;Shaari et al, 2014). If these potential problems are neglected then the standard least square estimation may produce specious regression (Arellano, 2003;Baltagi, 2008;Drukker, 2003;Hsiao, 2007;Kao, 1999;Pesaran, 2015b;Qasim et al, 2021;Wooldridge, 2010).…”

The of role economic growth in modulating mobile connectivity dynamics for financial inclusion in developing countries

“…how growth affects mobile money innovations through supply-side mobile money drivers). Some of the contemporary studies which have focused on innovation stimulating economic growth include: innovation that is driven by knowledge for the ultimate purpose of promoting economic growth (Asongu & Kuada, 2020;Oluwatobi, Olurinola, Alege & Ogundipe, 2020); country-specific innovations within the framework of environmental policy for economic prosperity (Azimi, Feng & Zhou, 2020); innovations in small and medium sized corporations as a means to economic growth (Gherghina, Botezatu, Hosszu&Simionescu, 2020); the relevance of innovations in promoting the economic prosperity of family corporations (Teixeira & Correia, 2020) and scientific research innovations for economic performance (Hamidi Motlagh, Babaee, Maleki & Isaai, 2020).…”

Demand-side Mobile Money Drivers of Financial Inclusion: Minimum Economic Growth Thresholds for Mobile Money Innovations

“…Second, in spite of the substantially documented literature on the importance of mobile phones and mobile banking innovations in driving inclusive development (Asongu, 2013;Ondiege, 2010;Uduji & Okolo-Obasi, 2018aTchamyou, Erregers & Cassimon, 2019;Lashitew, van Tulder & Liasse, 2019;Asongu, Biekpe & Cassimon, 2020, 2021, most of the literature has focused on the role of innovation in driving economic growth (as discussed below), instead of the role of economic growth in modulating demand-side mobile money factors for mobile money innovations as in the present study. The contemporary strand of the studies that has focused on the incidence of innovation on economic growth has been articulated along the lines of, inter alia: knowledge-driven innovation for economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) (Oluwatobi, Olurinola, Alege & Ogundipe, 2020;Asongu & Kuada, 2020); country-specific innovation in environmental policy for economic growth (Azimi, Feng & Zhou, 2020); innovation in small and medium sized enterprises as a source of economic growth (Gherghina, Botezatu, Hosszu & Simionescu, 2020); innovation in scientific research for economic performance (HamidiMotlagh, Babaee, Maleki & Isaai, 2020) and the relevance of innovation in driving the economic performance of family firms (Teixeira & Correia, 2020).…”
