“…Another interesting contribution is the study by Sansyzbayeva et al (2020) that assesses the transition to a green economy in Kazakhstan. The authors show that economic activity sectors depend fundamentally on mineral extraction, where there is a strong correlation with carbon dioxide emissions.…”

Corruption reflects a set of illegal activities that jeopardize the smooth functioning of economies, society, and climate and environmental issues. This article tests the relationships between economic growth, corruption, renewable energies, international trade, and carbon dioxide emissions using panel data for European countries, namely Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland, and Greece, from 1995–2015. As an econometric strategy, this research uses the panel fully modified least squares (FMOLS), panel dynamic least squares (DOLS), and panel two-stage least squares estimator (TSLS). Considering the variables utilized in the research and the panel unit root test, we observed that the variables are integrated I (1) in the first difference. The variables of corruption, economic growth, renewable energies, international trade, and carbon dioxide emissions are cointegrated in the long run, using the Pedroni and Kao residual cointegration test arguments. The methodology of Dumitrescu–Hurlin to test the causality between carbon dioxide emissions, corruption, economic growth, and renewable energy shows that there is unidirectional causality between carbon dioxide emissions and corruption and economic growth and corruption. The results suggest that the corruption index and economic growth have a statistically significant positive impact on carbon dioxide emissions. However, renewable energies and international trade reduce climate change and improve the environmental quality.

“…Studies provided that external costs resulting from combustion of fossil fuels, if internalised into power generation costs could lead to fast penetration of renewable energy technologies becoming competitive with fossil fuels (Ortega & del Rio, 2013;Kilinic-Ata, 2016;Sansyzbayeva, et al, 2020). However, natural gas based combined cycle technology has financial advantage over other fuels under current market conditions.…”

“…These conclusions are in line with other studies on the links between gas emission and economic growth, for instance, those highlighted in Refs. [37,38], including those investigating the impact of low-altitude emissions from individual sources [39]. Therefore, the investigation of the relationship between climate change and the insurance sector provided in this paper allows for finding relevant risk management methods in the face of such phenomena as climate change.…”

GHG Emissions Mitigation in the European Union Based on Labor Market Changes

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The effects of the labor market on environmental issues are an actual problem at the global level, and recommendations are required to achieve equilibrium between labor productivity and environmental protection. Considering the ecological limits of work and the necessity of reducing the working time to mitigate GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions, this paper aims to assess the impact of the labor market on GHG emissions in the EU-28 countries. Using panel data models for 2007–2019, a positive effect of working time for employed persons on GHG emissions was detected. Labor productivity has a positive impact on emissions for most of the developed countries in the EU (old member states), while the effect is negative in the case of most of the new member states, which suggests that more efforts should be made by old member states to correlate labor productivity with a sustainable level of GHG emissions. As a novelty for research in the field, we assessed also the effect of targeted labor utilization on GHG emissions in order to describe the context of a sustainable economy that is an objective for each country in the EU. These results suggest that progress in GHG emissions mitigation might be achieved by reducing the working time for employed persons, which will also improve well-being. These recommendations could be useful also for other developed countries outside the EU that encounter the same difficulties.
