“…Reducing the socioeconomic disparities caused by external factors contributes to achieving equalization of life expectancy among those with corresponding incomes [20]. Some scholars believed that other variables of economic development such as GDP per capita [21,22], urbanization rate [21], and education level [20] can affect life expectancy to different extents. Huang [6] believed that there was a positive correlation between GDP per capita and life expectancy per capita.…”

Both economic development level and environmental factors have significant impacts on life expectancy at birth (LE). This paper takes LE as the research object and selects nine economic and environmental indicators with various impacts on LE. Based on a dataset of economic and environmental indicators of 20 countries from 2004 to 2016, our research uses the Pearson Correlation Coefficient to evaluate the correlation coefficients between the indicators, and we use multiple regression models to measure the impact of each indicator on LE. Based on the results from models and calculations, this study conducts a comparative analysis of the influencing mechanisms of different indicators on LE in both developed and developing countries, with conclusions as follow: (1) GDP per capita and the percentage of forest area to land area have a positive impact on LE in developed countries; however, they have a negative impact on LE in developing countries. Total public expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP and fertilizer consumption have a negative impact on LE in developed countries; however, they have a positive impact on LE in developing countries. Gini coefficient and average annual exposure to PM2.5 have no significant effect on LE in developed countries; however, they have a negative impact on LE in developing countries. Current healthcare expenditures per capita have a negative impact on LE in developed countries, and there is no significant impact on LE in developing countries. (2) The urbanization rate has a significant positive impact on LE in both developed countries and developing countries. Carbon dioxide emissions have a negative impact on LE in both developed and developing countries. (3) In developed countries, GDP per capita has the greatest positive impact on LE, while fertilizer consumption has the greatest negative impact on LE. In developing countries, the urbanization rate has the greatest positive impact on LE, while the Gini coefficient has the greatest negative impact on LE. To improve and prolong LE, it is suggested that countries should prioritize increasing GDP per capita and urbanization level. At the same time, countries should also work on reducing the Gini coefficient and formulating appropriate healthcare and education policies. On the other hand, countries should balance between economic development and environmental protection, putting the emphasis more on environmental protection, reducing environmental pollution, and improving the environment’s ability of self-purification.

“…Nowadays, the environmental pressures on the Planet have increased to an extent never seen before (The World Bank, 2017; Wiedmann et al, 2015) and they are responsible for huge damages to the ecosystems, as global climate change and loss of biodiversity (IPCC, 2014; Madreimov & Li, 2019; Weber, Peters, Guan, & Hubacek, 2008), which, in turn, have consequences from the economic perspective (do Prado et al, 2020). Therefore, one of the greatest issues at the global level concerns the enhancement of the environmental performance of production and consumption activities, for example, by promoting eco‐innovations and green products (Dangelico, 2016; Fraccascia, Giannoccaro, & Albino, 2018; Song, Wang, & Ma, 2020).…”

The effect of national culture on country environmental performance has received attention during the past few years. However, previous studies considered a subset of cultural dimensions, focused on diverse environmental performance measures, provided contrasting results, and did not adequately investigated the mediating effects of socioeconomic variables. In this study, we investigate the impact of all cultural dimensions (power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation, indulgence) on three environmental performance measures at the country level: the environmental performance index and its two main overarching objectives. Both direct and indirect effects, through three socioeconomic variables (population growth, education, income), are tested using a sample of 62 countries. Results show that the effect of cultural dimensions may vary based on the specific cultural dimension and the type of environmental performance measure considered. Masculinity and indulgence directly impact on environmental performance. Power distance has no influence on environmental performance measures. The other dimensions affect environmental performance through the mediating effect of socioeconomic variables.

“…Using a global index of dependence on natural resources, Madreimov [12] revisits the link between dependence on natural resources and quality of life, measured by life expectancy over the period 1990-2011. Using fixed-effect regression and panel-corrected standard error regression estimators, they show that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between natural resource dependence and life expectancy.…”

Aims/ Objectives: To determine whether oil rent is a curse for the health of populations in Africa.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: Oil-producing African countries over the period 2000-2015.Methodology: Using the Random effects (RE) and the Two Stages Least Square (2SLS) estimators on a sample of 18 Oil-producing African countries.Results: The results show that oil rent has a negative effect on life expentancy.Conclusion: The fact that oil-producing African countries have a source of revenue that does not depend on taxation, means that the governments of these countries do not make health an important part of public policy.
