“…The earlier literature is less likely to fill this gap and remains inside to get few inferences from women's autonomy and energy efficiency without moderating technological factors with women's empowerment across countries [47,48]. Finally, the trade openness factor is included in the green growth agenda to evaluate the pollution haven hypothesis in Technowomen-centric development, while earlier studies confined it with some other economic factors [49][50][51].…”

The role of women in economic development and the global environment is vital for progressing them towards the United Nations sustainable development goal (SDG-5) that emphasized the need to empower women in every walk of life. The study examines women’s autonomy in the sustainable development agenda under China’s open innovation system from 1975 to 2019. The study employed an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, vector autoregressive (VAR) Granger causality, and innovation accounting matrix to estimate parameters. The existing data are summarized and collated in the context of China to explain as a correlational study. The results show that women’s autonomy moderated with technology spills over to decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and substantiate the hump-shaped relationship between them. The increased spending on research and development (R&D) activities, patent publications, and renewable energy consumption empowers women to be equipped with the latest sustainable technologies to improve environmental quality. The pollution haven hypothesis verifies a given country, where trade liberalization policies tend to increase polluting industries to set up their plants that engaged in dirty production that exacerbate GHG emissions. The causality estimates confirmed that technological innovations and renewable energy consumption leads to women’s autonomy. In contrast, females’ share in the labor force participation rate leads to an increase in renewable energy consumption. Thus, it is evident that there is a positive role of women in the country’s sustainable development.

“…Sustainable development calls for balancing societal (SDG 3, 4, 10), economic (SDG 8, 9, 12 and 17) and environmental (SDG 6, 7, 13 and 15) factors (M. A. Khan and Ozturk, 2020 ). Therefore, the governments at all levels i.e.…”

“…This paper is closely related to the literature about how FDI affects environmental pollution in host countries. Research in this field mainly includes three viewpoints: the first is the pollution haven hypothesis, which asserts that the high-polluting enterprises in developed countries transfer to the developing countries with relatively low environmental regulation standards and pollution costs, which leads to environmental degradation in the host country [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. The second one is the pollution halo hypothesis, which argues that FDI provides an opportunity for developing countries to adopt new technologies to enable clean or green production and improves the environmental quality of the host country [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

This research investigates the interaction effect between corruption and foreign direct investment (FDI) on environmental pollution by applying the spatial econometric model to the panel data of China’s 29 provinces from 1994 to 2015 and analyzes the differences between China’s eastern, central and western regions. Results show that (a) FDI inflow deteriorates the environmental quality, validating the pollution haven hypothesis (PHH); (b) by weakening the environmental standards, corruption enables the inflow of low-quality FDI, weakens the spillover effect of FDI and indirectly causes further environmental pollution; (c) the interaction effect between corruption and FDI on environmental pollution is less significant in the eastern region than in the central and western regions.
