“…Though, the U-shaped existence of EKC has been found in several recent studies(Destek et al, 2018;Akadiri et al, 2019;Dogan and Inglesi-Lotz, 2020;Arshed et al, 2021;and Karahasan and Pinar, 2022) Akadiri et al (2019),Altıntas and Kassouri (2020). andBilgili et al (2022) have found it to be an inverted U-shape.Urbanization, energy intensity, financial development and trade openness are incorporated in the study, assuming environmental deteriorating factors. However, urbanization is part of the model aligning withHuang et al (2021) andSun et al (2022).…”

Purpose This study aims to consider environmental sustainability, a global challenge under the preview of sustainable development goals, highlighting the significance of knowledge economy in attaining sustainable aggregate demand behavior globally. For this purpose, 155 countries that have data available from 1995 to 2021 were selected. The purpose of selecting these countries is to test the global responsibility of the knowledge economy to attain environmental sustainability. Design/methodology/approach Results are estimated with the help of panel quantile regression. The empirical existence of aggregate demand-based environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) was tested using non-linear tests. Moreover, principal component analysis has been incorporated to construct the knowledge economy index. Findings U-shaped aggregate demand-based EKC at global level is validated. However, environmental deterioration increases with an additional escalation after US$497.945m in aggregate demand. As a determinant, the knowledge economy is reducing CO2 emissions. The knowledge economy has played a significant role in global responsibility, shifting the EKC downward and extending the CO2 reduction phase for every selected country. Further, urbanization, energy intensity, financial development and trade openness significantly deteriorate the environmental quality. Originality/value This study contains the empirical existence of aggregate demand-based EKC. The role of the knowledge economy is examined through an index which is calculated by using four pillars of the knowledge economy (technology, innovations, education and institutions). This study is based on a combined panel of all the countries for which the data was available.

“…They supported the existence of the EKC hypothesis in the PIIGS countries. Bilgili et al (2022) examined the environment-gender relationship with panel data estimates through the EKC hypotheses in thirty-six Asian countries for the period 1991-2017. As a result of their estimation, they determined that per capita GDP positively affects CO 2 emissions and per capita, CO2 is negatively affected by the square of per capita GDP, thus verifying environmental Kuznets Curve for panel Asian data with 971 observations.…”

The relationship between the environment and the economy is one of the most frequently encountered issues recently. One of the problems that countries have faced recently is environmental sustainability. Therefore, this study is purposed to examine the relationship between environmental and economic variables. In the example of 24 OECD member countries, the entity of Environmental Kuznets curve theory is examined in the inverse U-link between per capita GDP and per capita carbon dioxide emissions. We analyzed the inverted U-link between CO2 emissions and per capita GDP in annual balanced panel data covering the period 1980–2014. Westerlund’s cointegration test was used for analysis. For long-term parameter estimation, PMG (Pooled Mean Group) estimator methods were applied. Dumitrescu and Hurlin Granger causality test was performed to specify causal connections. As a result of the study, it is pointed out that first of all, electricity consumption has a positive and significant effect on CO2 emissions in the long run. Secondly, our findings show that environmental degradation is in an inverted U shape in the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypotheses. That is to say, results were obtained verifying the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve theory. Eventually, bidirectional causal links are observed between CO2 emissions and economic growth and between CO2 emissions and electricity consumption.

“…Since the male population consumes more energy, it might be possible to conclude that more males lead to higher emissions levels. In a recent study, Bilgili et al (2023) examine whether gender has a heterogeneous impact on CO 2e in the case of 36 Asian economies. The study reveals that, in the agricultural sector, the female population mitigates CO 2e , while the males escalate emissions.…”

Climate change due to global greenhouse gas emissions poses a severe threat, and energy sectors contribute about two‐thirds of the emissions. However, energy plays an important role in the well‐being of the aging population, which is increasing in Asian countries. Therefore, this study aims to discern how the male and female populations of different age groups affect carbon emissions in Asian economies. The findings from the panel quantile regression reveal that economic growth escalates emissions across all quantiles along with energy use. The female population in the 0–14 years age group reduces emissions at all quantiles, while the male population of the same age group enhances the emissions. However, the male and female population between 15 and 64 years increases carbon emissions across all Asian economies. Furthermore, the male population above 65 years is responsible for low emissions, while the female counterparts are responsible for high emissions. Finally, we offer a set of policy recommendations based on our findings. For instance, there is a need to educate the male population between 0 and 14 years on environmental degradation to encourage an environment‐friendly lifestyle. Also, policies should aim to persuade the 15–64 age group to use renewables, which can help mitigate CO2 emissions.
