“…The relationship connecting energy, economic growth and CO 2 emissions has been extensively examined in the literature. Whereas some studies, such as Soytas and Sari (2009) for Turkey; Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010) for South Africa; Tiwari (2011) for India; Bloch et al (2012) for China; Danlami et al (2017) and Begum et al (2015) for Malaysia; and Bento and Moutinho (2016) for Italy, concentrated on single country analysis, other studies are more regional at international level such as: Hossain (2011) for industrialized nations; Saboori et al (2014) for OECD countries; Salahuddin and Gow (2014) for GCC countries; and Heidari et al (2015) for ASEAN five countries focused on many country analysis.…”

“…This is to complement the two previous approaches by investigating the relationship between energy, CO 2 emissions and economic growth. Studies such as: Soytas and Sari (2009), Menyah and Wolde-Rufael (2010), Akpan and Akpan (2012), Shahbaz et al (2013), Wahid et al (2013), Salahuddin and Gow (2014), Begum et al (2015), Tang and Tan (2014) and Danlami et al (2017) are examples of studies that utilized energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and economic growth. In the study by Soytas and Sari (2009) for EU candidate member, Granger causality between CO 2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth were investigated in Turkey using the Toda-Yamamoto causality test.…”

“…Though, many previous studies were conducted to examine the determinants of CO 2 emissions in many countries, most of these studies (Danlami et al , 2017; Begum et al , 2015; Razak et al , 2013; Shahbaz et al , 2013; Wahid et al , 2013; Akpan and Akpan, 2012; Hui et al , 2012) concentrated mostly on the relationship between energy consumption, economic growth, population and CO 2 emissions without considering the simultaneous impacts of energy production, capital formation and FDI on CO 2 emissions. Furthermore, most of the studies on CO 2 emissions concentrated mostly on one country as the focus of analysis.…”

Purpose The persistent rise in the global discharges of carbon (CO2) emissions and the likely undesirable consequences of this practice on the global atmosphere attracts the attention of policy makers and researchers to argue on the causes and perpetrators of CO2 emissions at international level. The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between economic growth, energy production, capital formation, foreign direct investment (FDI) and CO2 emissions in the LMI and Middle East and North African (MENA) countries for the period 1980–2011. Design/methodology/approach Two separate autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) models were estimated for both the LMI and MENA countries, for the period 1980–2011. Furthermore, a fully modified OLS (FMOLS) was estimated for the two regions over the same period. Findings The results indicated that for the lower-middle income countries, there is a positive significant relationship between energy production and CO2 emissions. In the long run while in the short run, FDI and EGP are positively related to CO2 emissions while gross capital formation (GCF) has a negative impact on the CO2 emissions in the short run over the same period. Similarly, for the MENA countries, there is a positive relationship between EGP, GCF and CO2 emissions in both the short run and the long run. Furthermore, the estimated group mean FMOLS indicated that apart from GDP, all other variables have significant positive impact on CO2 emissions. Research limitations/implications The study covers only the period 1980–2011. This was because of limited available data during the study. Practical implications The study recommended the adoption of green technology by FDI firms and also in the process of energy production such as in crude oil production. Originality/value The study carried out a complex analysis where simultaneously all the countries of LMI and MENA regions where considered. Furthermore, separate analysis where conducted for each of the LMI and MENA regions using ARDL model. Variable representing energy production was included in the analysis which was not considered by previous studies. Lastly, FMOLS was estimated for the pooled of LMI and MENA countries which further distinguished the study from the relevant previous studies.

“…The global environmental problem in recent years has severely interrupted the natural ecosystem and human development (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, 2018). For example, the excessive carbon dioxide (CO 2 , henceforth) emission into the atmosphere has generally been a threat to human life, economic growth, and development (Danlami et al, 2018). According to the International Energy Agency (IEA, 2016), the world's CO 2 emission reached 32 billion tons in 2011, and it is expected to rise by 36 billion in the year 2020.…”

PurposeThis study examines the role of financial development and its interaction with corruption in the environmental degradation of eight Sub-Saharan African countries from 2000–2014.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilizes Pedroni cointegration and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) techniques for the estimation of the models.FindingsThe results of the cointegration test reveal that there exist long-run relationships among the variables in the model with the interaction of financial development and corruption, and in the model without interaction. The FMOLS estimates show that in the former model, the interaction of financial development with corruption is positively significant in determining the level of environmental degradation in those countries. Moreover, in the latter, financial development, trade openness, and corruption have a positive effect on their environmental degradationResearch limitations/implicationsUnavailability of data, the study was limited to only eight Sub-Saharan African nationsPractical implicationsThe finding that financial development and its interaction with corruption have an adverse effect on the environments of the Sub-Saharan African countries implies the need to focus on how efficient credits are being allocated in those countries. For better management of environmental quality, this may require the implementation of policies that enhance credit allocation to users with energy-efficient technology and appliances that promote the quality of environments. In addition, stringent policies could be embarked upon to curtail all acts of corruption in the region for an efficient credit allocation and a better environment in the development of Sub-Saharan African society.Originality/valueThe dearth in empirical studies on the Sub-Saharan African countries motivates this study. In particular, little is known about the interaction effect of corruption and financial development on the environmental degradation of those countries, as the work on this is limited in the existing literature.

“…Studies that analyzed energy utilization can be classified into two categories. The first group consists of those studies (Danlami et al 2018a(Danlami et al , 2019a) that analyze aggregate energy consumption using time series data. Most of these studies concluded that energy consumption is highly correlated with environmental degradation.…”

Environmental degradation, soil erosion, and desertification are some of the consequences of high rate of traditional biomass fuel use by households in developing countries. The critical issues to raise here are how can these households be encouraged to change their energy consumption behavior? What are the factors that cause the rampant use of biomass fuel in developing countries? How and to what extent can these factors be manipulated so that households in developing countries are encouraged to adopt clean energy fuel an alternative to the most widely used biomass fuel? Therefore, this chapter tries to find answer to the above questions raised, by carrying out an in depth analysis of households’ use of biomass fuel in developing countries using Bauchi State, Nigeria, as the case study. Cluster area sampling technique was utilized to generate the various responses, where a total number of 539 respondents were analyzed. The study estimated ordered logit model to analyze the factors that influence the movement of households along the energy ladder from nonclean energy to the cleaner energy. Furthermore, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model was estimated to analyze the impacts of socio-economic, residential, and environmental factors on biomass energy consumption. It was found that age of the household head and his level of education, income, living in urban areas, home ownership, and hours of electricity supply have positive and significant impact on household energy switching from traditional biomass energy use to the cleaner energy. Therefore, policies that will enhance household income and the increase in the availability of cheap cleaner energy will encourage households switching to cleaner energy sources thereby reducing the level of environmental pollution in the study area.
