“…Several studies in the literature have confirmed the existence of the EKU hypothesis (Ardakani and Seyedaliakbar, 2019;Aye and Edoja, 2017;Özokcu and Özdemir, 2017;Salazar-Núñez et al, 2020;Shahbaz et al, 2020). Similarly, LEU has a direct and statistically significant effect on LCO2EPC.…”

“…The researchers have established the relationship between CO 2 emission and EG in different ways i.e. linear with positive slope (Ardakani and Seyedaliakbar, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Zaheer and Ali, 2021), Inverted U-shaped relationship (Apergis and Ozturk, 2015;Özokcu and Özdemir, 2017;Salazar-Núñez et al, 2020;Shahbaz et al, 2020), N-shapes relationship (Aljadani et al, 2021;Allard et al, 2018;Ardakani and Seyedaliakbar, 2019;Begum et al, 2015;Özokcu and Özdemir, 2017), or even no relationship (Aslanidis and Iranzo, 2009;Jaunky, 2011;Robalino-López et al, 2015). 12 In most of the studies cited above the researchers have neglected the problem of heteroscedasticity, serial correlation, and Crosssectional Dependence (CD) which are the potential problems of a panel data (Asif et al, 2015;Azimi et al, 2020 , 2021;Shaari et al, 2014).…”

The present study is designed to investigate that how Economic Growth (EG) of the South Asian region has affected the Environmental Degradation (ED) from 1980 to 2018. This study has used Newey and West (1987) robust standard errors approach to overcome the problem of autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity in panel data. The results of the statistical model confirmed the existence of the Inverted U-shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). Furthermore, the results also confirmed that the use of energy is also deteriorating the environment significantly. One significant contribution of the study is to check the causality between EG and CO2 by applying a relatively new approach namely Granger non-causality test presented by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012). The results confirmed that economic growth is contributing towards more CO2 emissions. The study concluded that South Asian countries should use environment-friendly renewable energy sources to achieve a higher growth rate.

“…The discussion is now has been changed to sustainable development, where environmental priorities, along with growth achievement, are the primary global agenda to conserve the natural environment by mitigating GHG emissions. The study followed the scholarly work of Shahbaz et al (2017), Shahbaz, Khraief, and Mahalik (2019), Ahmed and Ozturk (2016), Ozturk and Al‐Mulali (2015), Saleem et al (2019), and Rasli et al (2018). These studies discussed the emissions‐growth nexus in different environmental modeling, which confined the need for sustainable policy instruments (SPIs) for long‐term growth.…”

“…The efficiency levels of these regions were significantly higher than other regions in 2005, and efficiency values of these regions were greater than one in 2017. As mentioned, in the Environmental Kuznets Curve Theory, environmental quality will be improved only when the economic development reaches a certain stage, however, these regions of Yangtze River Economic Belt were at different development stages in the period [44]. The labor intensive and capital processing industries are moving to the upper and middle streams, so eastern coastal areas are more inclined towards technological innovation industries which will consume less resources and produce less pollution [45].…”

The green transformation of the manufacturing industry is crucial for high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and environmental regulation and technological innovation may play key roles. Considering the undesirable output of the manufacturing industry, this paper adopted the undesirable-SE-SBM Model to measure the green transformation efficiency, which can reflect the core transformation performance. On this basis, this paper respectively adopted system generalized method of moments (SYS-GMM) and differential generalized method of moments (DIF-GMM) to explore the driving factors of green transformation, which fully considered the lag variable of transformation efficiency. The estimated results of green transformation showed that the efficiency of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has maintained an overall growth trend, while that of the eastern regions was higher than that of the central and western regions. The regional difference of transformation efficiencies showed a trend of convergence first and then expansion, however, a few regions such as Chongqing have achieved leapfrog development. The estimated results of driving factors showed the first-stage lag affected the green transformation positively, while the second-stage lag had a significantly negative effect. The ratchet effect and cumulative effect led to the continued efforts on green transformation, however, the timeliness of policy might cause a rebound in practice. As mentioned in green paradox, the environmental regulation had a negative effect, which might bring compliance costs. The technology innovation level indeed promoted the green transformation of manufacturing, but the scientific research investment did not exert the expected positive effect, while the utilization of many research funds lacked market orientation. Economic development level had a negative effect on green transformation, and it would play a positive effect only if it reached a certain stage. The industrialization and urbanization affected the efficiency positively, and the external dependence degree had a significant negative effect. It was not clear whether foreign direct investment (FDI) brought a pollution haven or pollution halo effect. In view of these conclusions, local governments should strictly enforce environmental regulations, build the regional green innovation system, improve marketization of research funds, optimize the export structure, and promote new urbanization and new industrialization.
