“…A significant difference in environmental policy between countries displaces foreign investment from industrialized countries, where environmental policy is rigorous, to developing countries where environmental policy is lax. This could undermine the process of technology transfer provided by FDI through its positive externalities (Muhammad Hafeez et al (2020) and Muhammad et al (2019)). However, for this effect to take place, a level of economic stability and quality of institutions are required.…”

The present work analyzes the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) and corruption on the quality of the environment in the MENA region. Indeed, the magnitude of corruption and the quality of institutions are often cited as the main factors affecting the FDI inflow. Here, the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach was used to examine data on a group of MENA countries from 1990 to 2016. Our findings verify the Environmental Kuznets Curve. Furthermore, the empirical estimates approve the “pollution haven” hypothesis, which postulates that the polluting industrial activities of developed countries shift to developing countries which have less stringent environmental regulations. Based on the study findings, we recommend greater awareness of the harmful effects of corruption among political and economic actors.

“…Thus, the study further recommends that, society and other relevant stakeholders has to take serious measures to tackle the issues of environmental degradation. Correspondingly, Hafeez et al, [33] Assessed the relationship between agriculture, energy demand, finance and environmental degradation. The study aims to evaluate the impact of agriculture and forest on environmental degradation in One Belt and One Road (OBORI) economies, spanning from 1980 to 2017.…”

The study assesses the implication of compliance and enforcement of the NESREA Act, profitability, and Growth on environmental disclosure of cement companies in Nigeria. Secondary data comprising financial and non-financial information were source from annual accounts and reports of the sample companies, spanning a period of five years (2015 – 2019). Panel regression models were considered in assessing the implication of the variables under study. The findings reveal that NDI has a significant P-value which signifies that compliance with NESREA Act increases environmental disclosure by 2.9%. ROA also exerts a significant impact on environmental disclosure. This implies that a 1% increase in the profitability of the sample companies will increase environmental disclosure by 1.4%. Firm Size is also positive and exerts significant impact, by implication, the result suggested that an increase in the total revenue will lead to about 9% increase in environmental disclosure. Hence the study recommends among others that measuring, treatment, disclosure, and reporting of environmental activities need to be standardized and mandated to give a true and fair view of environmental management practices. These will not only protect the environment but will also enhance the firm's competitiveness and subsequently lead to high corporate performance.

“…In a study by Hafeez et al (2020), a significant link between CO2 emission and globalization is found in the context of South Asian countries analyzing 40 years' data and causality between growth and CO2 emissions. Hafeez et al (2020) conclude that economic growth is the main reason for CO2 emission in Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh as these developing countries are focusing on economic growth, which also increases environmental pollution. It is necessary to control environmental pollution to get a competitive advantage.…”

We investigate the impact of renewable energy and green practices (RE), transportation services and infrastructure (T.S.), GDP growth (GDP), and forestry and natural resources (AFF) on the sustainable tourism development in the Eastern European Countries (EECs). The study employed cross-sectional dependence and and CIPS unit root test to check stationarity along with the dynamic common correlated effect (DCCE) model proposed by Chudik and Pesaran (2015) to test parameters for ensuring robustness. The outcome of DCCE method suggests that renewable energy (RE), Transport Services (T.S.), Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (AFF), and economic growth (GDP) have a significantly positive impact on international tourism in the sampled countries of Europe. Our findings could be insightful for policymakers and understanding the impact of renewable energy and transportation services on tourism development, and thereby help in taking appropriate policy measures in the sampled countries.
