“…However, these findings are in contrast to the results of Zhang et al (2016), who observed a negative effect of democracy on CO 2 emissions in the 90th to 95th quantiles and that corruption improves environmental quality in the lower quantiles. Further, our results are also inconsistent with those of Panayotou (1997), Torras and Boyce (1998), Leitão (2010), and Al-Mulali and Ozturk (2015), which all find that institutional quality has a negative effect on environmental degradation. However, when estimating their models, they used other proxies for institutional quality, which might explain the differences in results.…”

We evaluate the N-shaped environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) using panel quantile regression analysis. We investigate the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP per capita for 74 countries over the period of 1994–2012. We include additional explanatory variables, such as renewable energy consumption, technological development, trade, and institutional quality. We find evidence for the N-shaped EKC in all income groups, except for the upper-middle-income countries. Heterogeneous characteristics are, however, observed over the N-shaped EKC. Finally, we find a negative relationship between renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions, which highlights the importance of promoting greener energy in order to combat global warming.

“…An EKC has been identified for some environmental metrics like energy use, emissions and water quality (Luzzati & Orsini 2009;Orubu & Omotor 2011;Apergis & Ozturk 2015), but has been contested as an empirical illusion (Stern 2004) and fails to appear in other studies with the same or other environmental indicators (Koop & Tole 1999;Kijima et al 2010;Ozturk & Al-Mulali 2015), including those related to conservation (Dietz & Adger 2003;Mills & Waite 2009). …”

Governance explains variation in national responses to the biodiversity crisis

et al. 2018

SUMMARYGrowing concern about the biodiversity crisis has led to a proliferation of conservation responses, but with wide variation between countries in the levels of engagement and investment. Much of this variation is inevitably attributed to differences between nations in wealth. However, the relationship between environmentalism and wealth is complex and it is increasingly apparent that other factors are also involved. We review hypotheses that have been developed to explain variation in broad environmentalism and show that many of the factors that explain such variation in individuals, such as wealth, age and experience, also explain differences between nation states. We then assess the extent to which these factors explain variation between nation states in responses to and investment in the more specific area of biodiversity conservation. Unexpectedly, quality of governance explained substantially more variation in public and state investment in biodiversity conservation than did direct measures of wealth. The results inform assessments of where conservation investments might most profitably be directed in the future and suggest that metrics relating to governance might be of considerable use in conservation planning.

“…Similarly, in the energy economics literature provides, many studies have investigated the EKC hypothesis by using time-series data for individual countries. For instance, Akbostanci et al (2009), Iwata et al (2010), Shahbaz et al (2012), Tiwari et al (2013), Lau et al (2014) and Ozturk and Al-Mulali (2015) have validated the EKC for Turkey, France, Pakistan, India, Malaysia and Cambodia, respectively. Tamazian et al (2009) argue that the omission of financial development from carbon dioxide emissions functions leads to erroneous empirical results.…”

Financial development and environmental quality: The way forward

et al. 2016

The present paper re-examines the asymmetric impact of financial development on environmental quality in Pakistan for the period 1985Q1 to 2014Q4. A comprehensive index of financial development is generated using Bank-and Stock market-based financial development indicators. The results show that inefficient use of energy adversely affects the environmental quality. This suggests adoption of energy efficient technology at both production and consumption levels. These technologies would be helpful to improve environmental quality, enhance the productivity in long-run and save energy. Bank-based financial development also impedes the environment. The government should encourage lenders to ease the funding for energy sector and allocate financial resources for environment friendly businesses rather than wasting them in consumer financing.
