Abstract:This study investigates how life expectancy is influenced by CO2 emissions, health spending, GDP, water usage, agricultural output, and renewable and non-renewable energy consumption within the Aral Sea basin, which is an environmentally catastrophic zone in the world. This research utilized data from the years 2002 to 2020 and employed various econometric approaches, including FMOLS, DOLS, and Driscoll–Kraay. The outcomes of the study reveal that health spending, GDP, water productivity, agriculture output, e… Show more
A globalisation-induced environmental consequence can either improve or degenerate the quality of life (QoL), depending on its interference in the balance between the demand and supply of ecological resources, and food security. Hence, this study examined the ecological burdens of globalisation on the QoL for 38 African countries between 1990 and 2020. Empirical inferences for the study were robustly deduced through advanced estimation methodologies. They include Driscoll-Kraay (D-K), augmented mean group (AMG) and the panel dynamic ordinary least squares (PDOLS) techniques. The study further applied the method of moments quantile regression (MMQREG) approach, since the economic progressions in each selected African country are heterogeneous despite their classification as developing nations. Notable findings from these methodologies revealed the ecological demand burden of globalisation to be diminishing the QoL. In contrast, the supply and food security effects of liberalisation are QoL enhancing. Specifically, the MMQREG procedure revealed that the adverse acceleration in the demand side of the consequence grows larger in magnitude when compared to the positive effects in the supply and food security sides as the quantile advances. The implication is that depending on the level of QoL, the ecological burden of liberalisation tends to worsen through the overexploitation and retardation of the regenerative process of natural resources, and the exacerbation of food insecurity in African countries. Applicable policy measures were proposed by the study.

Life expectancy is one of the primary population health indicators and in turn increases in life expectancy indicate improvements in population health and human welfare. Therefore, one of the ultimate goals of the countries is to increase the life expectancy. This article studies the effect of education and income inequalities, ICT indicators, CO2 emissions, and real GDP per capita on life expectancy in the new EU members for the period of 2010–2022 by employing fixed effects regression. The coefficients of panel regression uncover that education and income inequalities and CO2 emissions negatively impact life expectancy, but ICT indicators of internet usage and mobile cellular subscriptions and real GDP per capita positively affects the life expectancy. The findings of the panel regression analysis indicate that public policies to decrease the inequalities in education and income will make a contribution to life expectancy.
