“…Other scholars have examined the impact of oil price changes on carbon dioxide emissions through EKC [13]. In addition, previous studies have suggested that the development of tourism industry is also an important factor of the quality of the environment [14][15][16]. Robalino-López et al (2015) have argued that the relation between carbon dioxide emission (CO 2 ) volume and economic growth in 14 Asian countries reflects a reversed U-shaped relation, which is in conformity with the EKC theory [17].…”

Abstract:The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region Integration Plan is one of the most important national strategies in China promoting regional economic development. The environmental problems in this region, however, especially air pollution and contaminated groundwater, have enormous influence on the people's health while also causing economic loss. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the pattern of its environmental and economic development. Panel data in the period 2004-2014 are used to establish an advanced model of the Environmental Kuznets Curve. The results indicate that the economic growth and environmental pollution of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region do not completely meet the Environment Kuznets Curve assumptions. The discharge volume of industrial wastewater and economic growth reflect a wave-type relation. The sulfur dioxide discharge volume and economic growth reflect a U-shaped relation; the generated volume of industrial solid wastes and economic growth reflect a reversed N-shaped relation, which is in accordance with the Environmental Kuznets Curve characteristics at the second inflection point. The variables added value of the secondary industry, population size and raw coal consumption volume have a significant positive influence on the discharge of various environmental pollutants in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The analysis provides policy recommendations for the government to develop regional economic and environmental protection policies.

“…In addition to the causality between economic growth and tourism, empirical studies provide evidence of a causal relationship between tourism and energy consumption (see, e.g., Katircioglu, 2014). León et al (2014) showed that tourism contributed significantly to CO 2 emissions in both low-and high-income countries from 1998 The model can be written as…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between tourism development, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth in the United States, France, Spain, China, Italy, Turkey, and Germany using an innovative bootstrap panel Granger causality model. The results show that tourism development and economic growth are interdependent in Germany; whereas tourism development induces economic growth in China and Turkey, the reverse is true in Spain.Causal relationships between renewable energy and economic growth give credence to theories of renewable energy-led growth in Spain and growth-led renewable energy in China, Turkey, and Germany. Whereas the Italian and U.S. models demonstrate a bidirectional relationship, the Spanish, Italian, Turkish, and U.S. data show a causal link stemming from tourism development.Theoretical and policy implications are discussed within the realm of macroeconomics and sustainability.

“…Allowing explicitly tourism to enter the production function as a deterministic variable of the output growth has been previously studied in a number of econometric surveys (Belloumi,[11]; Ben Jebli et al, [15]; Choyakh, [18]; Katircioglu, [27], [28]; Katircioglu et al, [29]). For the case of Tunisia, Belloumi [11] investigates the relationship between tourism receipts, the real effective exchange rate and economic growth over the period 1970-2007.…”

“…His empirical findings document that no long-run equilibrium exists between tourist variables and economic growth. The causal link between tourism, CO 2 emissions, and energy consumption and economic growth has been also examined by Katircioglu [28]. The author investigates the long-run relationship between tourism, energy consumption and environmental degradation (CO 2 ) in the case of Turkey through two specification models.…”

This paper employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds methodological approach to investigate the relationship between economic growth, combustible renewables and waste consumption, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and international tourism for the case of Tunisia spanning the period 1990-2010. The results from the Fisher statistic of both the Wald-test and the Johansen test confirm the presence of a long-run relationship among the variables under investigation. The stability of estimated parameters has been tested, while Granger causality tests recommend a short-run unidirectional causality running from economic growth and combustible renewables and waste consumption to CO 2 emissions, a bidirectional causality between economic growth and combustible renewables and waste consumption and unidirectional causality running from economic growth and combustible renewables and waste consumption to international tourism. In the long-run, the error correction terms confirm the presence of bidirectional causality relationships between economic growth, CO 2 emissions, combustible renewables and waste consumption and international tourism. Our long-run estimates show that combustible renewables and waste consumption increases international tourism, and both renewables and waste consumption and international tourism increase CO 2 emissions and output. We recommend that: (i) Tunisia should use more combustible renewables and waste energy as this eliminates wastes from especially tourist zones and increases the number of tourist arrivals, leading to economic growth, and (ii) a fraction of this economic growth generated by the increase in combustible renewables and waste consumption should be invested in clean renewable energy production (i.e., solar, wind, geothermal) and energy efficiency projects.
