“…Scholars continuously discuss the impact of globalization on the climate, but the exact effect of globalization on CO 2 emissions has not been figured out. That is, some researchers show that globalization can increase CO 2 emissions (e.g., Christmann & Taylor, 2001; Ulucak & Khan, 2020; Xu, Baloch, Meng, Zhang, & Mahmood, 2018), while others show the opposite side (e.g., Acheampong & Boateng, 2019; Akadiri, Alola, Bekun, & Etokakpan, 2020).…”

This study aims to investigate the relationship between CO 2 emissions in China and its prospective determinants, namely economic growth, globalization, financial development, and natural resources during the period from 1980 to 2017. We present more detailed analyses across multiple econometric approaches within a multivariate system, e.g., the Bayer-Hanck combined cointegration approach, the ARDL bounds test approach, ARDL estimates in short run and long run, robustness check by cointegration regressions (i.e., FMOLS, DOLS, CCR), and Granger causality approach in the frequency domain. Our results show that economic growth and natural resources have a positive impact on CO 2 emissions in China, although globalization contributes to improving its environmental quality. Meanwhile, there is no statistical evidence that CO 2 emissions in China could be affected by financial development. The causality analysis reveals that globalization, economic growth and natural resources all lead to CO 2 emissions in the long run, while financial development only causes the short-run CO 2 emissions, which further demonstrate our findings. Such findings are meaningful for policymakers to achieve the sustainable development in China.

“…Therefore, the efforts of international organizations to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming have focused on policies of reducing the amount of carbon emissions (Acheampong & Boateng, 2019;Tamazian, Chousa, & Vadlamannati, 2009). Despite the concerted efforts to reduce the concentration of the amount of carbon emissions on earth, global carbon emissions have been increasing.…”

The present study examines the asymmetric effect of financial development on the quality of environment in Nigeria from 1970 to 2018. The study employed the techniques of non-linear ARDL approach as well as Diks and Panchenko (2006) non-linear test of causality. A comprehensive index of financial development is constructed using PCA. The empirical outcomes of the study reveal that financial development in Nigeria impedes the quality of the environment. The government should encourage lenders to ease the funding for the energy sector and allocate financial resources for environment-friendly businesses rather than wasting them in consumer financing. Moreover, economic growth and FDI are positively and significantly related to carbon emissions. On this basis, the government should introduce environmentally friendly technologies that will help improve the quality of the environment, increase long-term sustainability, and save resources for generations to come. A key policy consequence of this study is also that the FDI inflow to pollution-intensive industries should be closely monitored.

“…Investigations into the environmental consequences of such technologies do exist, though knowledge of their economic impacts is limited [25]. In a different technological direction, neural networks have proven effective tools at predicting and forecasting CO 2 intensities [26]. Nevertheless, the lack of access to clean fuels and clean technologies is a continued public health concern with additional negative climate externalities [27].…”

Increasing Access to Clean Fuels and Clean Technologies: A Club Convergence Approach

In this paper we test for convergence in access to clean energy and clean technology among nations in order to study the economic determinants of access to clean energy and clean technologies. This is important because without access to clean fuels, no global development strategy can be environmentally sustainable. After obtaining an estimated convergence rate under a conditional β-convergence model, we use a more sophisticated club convergence econometric framework and ultimately reject the hypothesis of β-convergence in favor of subgroups exhibiting intra-group convergence tendencies that are distinct from the other groups. We then employ a club convergence algorithm which groups the 93 nations studied into 8 convergence clubs based on characteristics including the percentage of the population with access to clean energy in the household and the growth rate of this percentage. Evidence that household access to clean energy and clean technology is tied to economic development and institutional quality is provided by showing that the convergence clubs not only reflect distinct strata in access to clean energy but are also strongly tied to important indicators of institutional quality.
