“…Rather than being universally applicable it only holds in specific contexts. For example, Haseeb et al 55 confirmed the EKC hypothesis between GDP and CO 2 emissions in BRICS economies; Liu et al 56 found that there was an inverted U-shaped relationship between per capita GDP and CO 2 emissions during the period of 2000-2015 according to a panel of 125 countries. However, low-income countries showed a U-shaped relationship.…”

“…There exists a third view of studies supported the complex associations between trade and the environment [ 24 , 25 ]. The related literature suggested the linkage between trade and environment are nonlinear and various in different trading stages [ 26 , 27 ]. For example, the “Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis” was originally proposed to address the nonlinear impacts of economic growth on environment [ 28 ].…”

This article attempts to investigate the impacts of bilateral trade on the environment by estimating the embodied carbon emissions between China and Germany over the period 1999–2018. The above impacts are broadly explored in the literature both under the framework of theoretical and empirical analysis. However, there exist fewer empirical studies exploring the nonlinear relationship between trade volumes and carbon emissions between a well-developed and emerging economies. By applying the multiregional input-output (MRIO) model, this article aims to reveal the impacts of trade on the environment in the case of China–Germany. Specifically, trade amounts between China and Germany rank high with a similarly increasing trend and both of them are large net exporting countries. However, China experienced much larger carbon emissions embodied in its exports to Germany. Despite potential concerns on the carbon leakage issue of China from Germany, we find that the bilateral trades fit an inverse U-shape in the embodied carbon emissions, which suggests that the trade between the two countries can finally reduce carbon intensity without obstructing economic development particularly in the long-term. This paper guides policy-makers to quantify the issue of CO2 transfer among bilateral trades in order to achieve the target of trading sustainability.

“…In order to examine the stationarity of the concerning variables, it is proposed to perform unit root tests before we proceed to panel data estimation [ 60 ]. Dickey-Fuller (DF), Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), and Phillips-Perron (PP) are the most popular methods adopted for unit root tests among scholars [ 16 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 ].…”

The wide application of various energy resources in economic development is allegedly responsible for deepening environmental deterioration in terms of increasing pollution emissions and other negative consequences including climate change. This current work investigates the interdependent correlation between energy consumption (both fossil fuel energy consumption and renewable energy consumption) and economic complexity among Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (hereafter LMC) countries, from 1991 to 2017. As for empirical analysis, a panel vector autoregression (PVAR) model was employed. Outcomes of this research confirm the existence of a unidirectional relationship between energy consumption and economic complexity index. It is verified that renewable energy usage is a possible alternative to traditional energy and is able to increase economic complexity. This current research proposed to contribute as a pioneering exploration on LMC countries by adding original observations into existing studies. Finally, we will discuss policy implications of this work.
