Estimating Role of Green Financing on Energy Security, Economic and Environmental Integration of Bri Member Countries

Abstract

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) developed a system of interaction with the member countries to uplift economic and environmental integration. Through BRI, these countries are now developing in the field of financial management, energy and environment. This raised the importance to test nexus between energy, finance and environment-related constructs to present the empirical significance with policy suggestions. Therefore, considering the SDG number 7 for sustainable and reliable energy system, recent investigation attempted to determine that how green financing raise energy efficiency, and, to what extent economic and environmental integration act as a catalyst to enhance sustainability and reliability in energy systems of BRI member countries. For empirical analysis, study used the data from 2005–2018. The results have shown a significant variation in energy financing patterns, renewable energy sources consumption and carbon emission trends in BRI member nations. Moreover, the Probit regression analysis confirmed this variation between energy efficiency, financing patterns and carbon emission. Moreover, Human Development Index (HDI) and public financing in energy sector have shown a limited role in developing energy efficiency, which presented the room for private investment through green financing for energy efficiency maximization and this proved as significant in study context. This study also presented policy guidelines for key stakeholders.

COVID-19 fear and volatility index movements: empirical insights from ASEAN stock markets

“…Studying the co-movement of Global fear index of COVID-19 crises with study topicality is still a missing link. More recently, empirical measurement of Global fear index of COVID-19 outbreak is developed that holds the capacity to assess with different financial settings and variables (Iqbal et al 2021a, b;Anh Tu et al 2021). However, these studies explain the concept theoretically that co-movement of crises like COVID-19 outbreak explains the relationship with financial variables (Topcu and Gulal 2020) (e.g., stock volatility) of international stock markets.…”

“…COVID-19 global fear index (e.g., reported case index, reported death index and corona fear index), aimed as co-moving with stock market volatility, do not found their intended relationship (Salisu and Akanni 2020). There is a need to understand how stock market volatility holds the nexus with global fear index of COVID-19 pandemic and what are the circumstances under which policy formulation and implementation is effective and efficient , (Li et al 2021a) and (Anh Tu et al 2021). However, motivation of this study is to test the co-movement of COVID-19 Global Fear Index with stock market volatility, and, to present the way forward for stock market stability and efficiency during the crises periods like COVID-19 outbreak (Salisu et al 2020a).…”

RETRACTED ARTICLE: How do environmental regulations affect carbon emission and energy efficiency patterns? A provincial-level analysis of Chinese energy-intensive industries

“…The Chinese industry'sstrong growth has clear characteristics, which are high investments, high energy consumption, and high emissions (Zhang et al 2020b;Lietal.2021b). China has become increasingly influential in the context of rapid economic growth in terms of environmental pollution and climate change (Anser et al 2020b;Khokhar et al 2020;M o h s i ne ta l .2021a;A n s e r et al 2020b; Anh Tu et al 2021). The Chinese government proposes the "below China" goal, integrating ecological civilization in economic Mi et al (2020), political Liu et al (2020b), cultural, and social (Nguyen et al 2021;Li et al 2021b;Z h a oe ta l .2020) developments to shape the global structure of sustainable development in order to achieve sustainable economic growth and environmental conservation (Iqbal et al 2019a, b;Hou et al 2019;Chien et al 2020;Huang et al 2020;Sadiq et al 2020;T i e pe ta l .2021).…”

Investment Performance: Emotional Beasts are Dragging into the Darkness of the Castle

“…due to contingent events and conditions are called as negative emotions (Kiefer & Barclay, 2012). Emotions are the decision facilitators and cognitive connectors to comprehend and sanitize related information (Anh Tu, 2021;Dodds et al, 2016). Evidences proved that emotions (e.g., negative emotions) are strong predictors of financial decision making (Achar et al, 2016;Iqbal et al, 2021).…”
