“…Therefore, when measuring IGG, more scholars have followed the methods of inclusive growth and green growth. Some scholars use methods such as the GDP per capita and income inequality, and other scholars use the generalized concentration curve and indifference curve (Aoyagi and Ganelli 2015 ; Oyinlola et al 2020 ). Aoyagi and Ganelli use Gini coefficients and Bonferroni indices to measure the level of inclusive green growth (Aoyagi and Ganelli 2015 ).…”

Inclusive green growth (IGG), as a new way to attain sustainable development, aims to achieve comprehensive and coordinated economic, social, and environmental development. How to define IGG and explore its driving factors is key to realizing IGG. This study takes China as an example, using panel data from 30 provinces in Mainland China from 2009 to 2018 for research. The epsilon-based measure (EBM) model and Global Malmquist–Luenberger (GML) index are used to evaluate China’s IGG, and a spatial panel regression model of the impact of urban land resource misallocation on IGG is established. The research found that (1) China’s IGG level from 2009 to 2018 displayed an upward trend, and combined with exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA), it was found that IGG has an obvious spatial correlation; (2) the regression model shows that the misallocation of land resources hinders the improvement of IGG in China; and (3) the decomposition of spatial spillover effects demonstrates that the misallocation of land resources has negative externalities, which will also have adverse effects on neighboring areas.

“…The Inclusive Wealth Index provides important insights into long-term economic growth and human well-being (Managi, S. and Kumar, P., 2018) [14]. Other research scholars explored the determinants of inclusive growth, including technological innovation (George et al, 2012) [15], economic growth (Vellala et al, 2014) [16], resource mobilization (Oyinlola et al, 2020) [17], and trade openness (Jalles and Mello, 2019) [18]. Rajapaksa, D., Islam, M. and Managi, S. (2017) [19] analyzed the impact of natural disasters on inclusive growth, trade openness, FDI, and GDP growth rate, which are other important determinants of natural capital.…”

Environmental regulation is an important means of restraining enterprises and protecting the environment. Rationalization of environmental regulatory policies can promote high-quality regional economic development. The optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure has an intermediary effect on the impact of environmental regulations on the high-quality development of the regional economy. After collating and analyzing previous research, this article proposes to classify 30 Chinese provinces into regions with higher than the national average HDI (human development index) and lower than the national average HDI based on the average HDI of Chinese provinces. We explore the mediating effect of industrial structure on environmental regulation and high-quality regional economic development. The model passed the full-sample robustness test and the robustness test with GDP as the replacement variable. The empirical results show that environmental regulations of different intensities have different effects on the quality of regional economic development. The effect of environmental regulations on development quality is mainly mediated through the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure. Enterprises need reasonable incentives from environmental regulations to transform and upgrade. The mediating effect of the industrial structure on environmental regulations is greater in regions with below-average HDI values than in regions with above-average HDI values, which shows that the industrial structure is the mechanism underlying the effect of environmental regulations on the quality of regional economic development. This result proves that adjusting environmental regulatory policies can effectively promote the upgrading of industrial structure, thereby promoting high-quality regional economic development. Based on this, the article puts forward several policy recommendations.

“…Energy infrastructure is a vital component of public infrastructure that facilitates economic growth. The efficiency effects of energy infrastructure are determined within the context of technology type, age of equipment, extent of periodic investment, corruption or poor governance, and type of maintenance employed ( Best and Burke, 2018 ; Gaur and Gupta, 2016 ; Oyinlola et al., 2020 ). McKinsey (2015) indicates that promoting the development of power or energy sector has the potential to transform African economies.…”

This paper employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methodology to examine the effect of electricity transmission and distribution losses (ETL) on the economic growth of South Africa over the period 1971-2014. After controlling for foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial development, the results of the study show longrun negative relationship between ETL and economic growth. For robustness checks, we account for nonlinearities/asymmetries in our model and find that a percentage increase in ETL decreases economic growth from 3.786% to 2.245%. The correction of the distortions of the convergence to long-run equilibrium by temporary shocks is reduced from 30.4% to 25.1%. Additionally, financial development and gross fixed capital formation promote growth while FDI and trade have insignificant effect.
