“…Over the past few decades, numerous studies have explored the link between economic growth, energy consumption, and CO 2 emissions (Ozcan, 2013;Dogan and Seker, 2016a, Meng et al, 2016, Zeng et al, 2017. Our study hypothesizes the existence of a relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation in N-11 emerging economies.…”

Numerous studies regarding the economic growth-environmental pollution link have struggled to determine the effects of various forms of energy consumption on environmental degradation, particularly in the context of emerging economies. This study examines the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) for CO 2 emissions in N-11 countries during 1990-2014 by segregating three forms of energy consumption (renewable, biomass and non-renewable). Urbanization and trade openness are additional explanatory variables that are used in the empirical framework. Using the Generalized Moments Method (GMM), the empirical evidence confirms the presence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation for N-11 countries. This study analyzed the interaction effects among trade openness, biomass consumption and economic growth; these interactions had a negative impact on CO 2 emissions levels of N-11 countries. Suitable policy recommendations have been provided based on the detailed results.

“…Currently, awareness of climate change and its repercussions are being widely discussed by the researchers (Meng et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2016b;Zeng et al, 2017 a, b). In the early 1990s, ambient pollution problems began to be more frequently described in studies regarding energy economics (Grossman and Krueger, 1991).…”

“…On the basis of the boundary condition ν(0) = ν 0 ≥ 0 of the equation of state, Equation (8) can be substituted into Equation (1) to attain the optimal trajectory in Equation (9). Further, Equation (15) can be inserted into Equation (11) to deduce the optimal profit function of the cooperative chain in Equation (10).…”

“…The large-scale and hazy weather in most of the northern regions since 2013, particularly in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Province, has dramatically jeopardized the daily life and health of their residents. As the largest energy consumer and carbon dioxide emitter in the world [1], China's regional carbon emission issue has become the focus of global attention. As indicated by the latest Global Carbon Project [2], the overall global carbon dioxide emissions in 2016 were up to 36.2 billion tons, of which the amount emitted by China was 10.1 billion tons, taking up 28% of the by two researches [29,30] to observe the impact exerted by government carbon tax on enterprise emission abatement effects.…”

This study introduces a time factor into a low-carbon context, and supposes the contamination control state of local government and the ability of polluting enterprise to abate emissions as linear increasing functions in a regional low-carbon emission abatement cooperation chain. The local government effectuates and upholds the low-carbon development within the jurisdiction that is primarily seeking to transform regional economic development modes, while the polluting enterprise abates the amounts of emitted carbon in the entire period of product through simplifying production, facilitating decontamination, and adopting production technology, thus leading to less contamination. On that basis, we infer that the coordinated joint carbon reduction model and two decentralization contracts expound the dynamic coordination strategy for a regional cooperation chain in terms of vertical carbon abatement. Furthermore, feedback equilibrium strategies that are concerned with several diverse conditions are compared and analyzed. The main results show that a collaborative centralized contract is able to promote the regional low-carbon cooperation chain in order to achieve a win-win situation in both economic and environmental performance. Additionally, the optimal profits of the entire regional low-carbon cooperation channel under an integration scenario evidently outstrip that of two non-collaborative decentralization schemes. Eventually, the validity of the conclusions is verified with a case description and numerical simulation, and the sensitivity of the relevant parameters is analyzed in order to lay a theoretical foundation and thus facilitate the sustainable development of a regional low-carbon environment.

“…Macro control behavior is gradually effective for economic growth, albeit with a lag, which cannot be ignored in the research of low-carbon economy growth [35]. However, most studies of low-carbon economy growth test influential factors, such as the correlation among energy consumption, carbon emissions, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) [36,37]; the relationship between energy efficiency and carbon emission [4,38]; and the factors that influence carbon emission efficiency [26,39]. These studies only focus on the single period effect of resources, which defines the single period product feasible set as a reference.…”

Abstract:The "New Normal" of Chinese economy represents the importance of economic performance. To analyze the provincial performance of the low-carbon economy in China, this paper constructed a three-stage dynamic Malmquist model considering the evolutionary promotion of productivity and technical progress. This paper incorporates the lag effect of capital accumulation into the performance evaluation to ensure transitivity and continuity. Furthermore, the inefficiency of the low-carbon economy arises from the disadvantages of resources endowments; therefore, it is necessary to eliminate these to evaluate managerial performance. This paper not only evaluates the provincial performance of the low-carbon economy but also suggests the sources and impetus of regional low-carbon economy development to find feasible transition paths. The empirical results reveal that the performance of the low-carbon economy presents a gradient distribution with obvious distinctions among the eastern, central, and western regions. Tianjin and Hebei should emphasize the optimal allocation of their own resources. Jiangxi and Hunan, by contrast, should focus on the perfection of the resources endowments.
