“…agreed with the results for a larger group of 144 countries. Bagliani et al (2008), Caviglia-Harris et al (2009, Wang et al (2013), and Hervieux and Darne (2015) could not confirm the EKC hypothesis for different panels of countries. , Asici and Acar (2016) and Ulucak and Bilgili (2018) confirmed the EKC hypothesis for the EU countries, 105 countries, and 45 countries respectively.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity of the EKC hypothesis for Tunisia for the period from 1965 to 2013 by using the CO2 emissions and the Ecological footprint as proxies for environmental degradation, with the latter being considered in the literature as a more inclusive indicator. The findings of the estimation stipulate an U -shaped curb between CO 2 emissions and real per capita GDP meaning that the EKC hypothesis is not valid for this period in Tunisia. However, when using the EF as a proxy for environmental degradation, the results indicate that the EKC hypothesis is valid for Tunisia. The results have significant policy implications, except for the fact that the use of only the CO2 emissions as a proxy for environmental degradation would provide misleading direction to policymakers. The confirmation of the EKC hypothesis implies that the country's policies should be persistent in aiming to improve overall environmental quality.

“…The ecological footprint measures the diminution of the resources required to support economic activity along with contamination as a direct consequence of the monetary activity. Direct consumption effects and production effects are taken into account in measuring the footprint (Hervieux and Darné 2016;Van de Vliert and Vlek 2015).…”

This study examines the impact of foreign direct investments on ecological footprint along with other explanatory variables of 92 countries from the year 2001 to 2016. Here, we applied the panel quantile regression model to meet the purpose of our study as it considers unobserved country heterogeneity, unlike other statistical methods. The study reveals that foreign direct investment has a positive relationship with the ecological footprint in each quantile except one, which proves the constancy of the pollution haven hypothesis. Moreover, we also tried to detect the impact of economic growth, manufacturing value-added, the percentage of world exports, and institutional quality on the ecological footprint in this study. The findings of this study also reveal that economic growth and manufacturing value-added are negatively associated with the ecological footprint. With respect to the percentage of world exports and institutional quality, we found a positive relationship with the ecological footprint. From the result of our study, different policy implications have been proposed for host countries and foreign investors on improving the economy through foreign direct investment with minimal ecological footprint.

Despite the economic significance of agriculture and its environmental effects, the agricultural sector has received little attention in this regard with the studies of Gokmenoglu and Taspinar (2018) for Pakistan, Gurbuz et al (2020) for Azerbaijan and Gokmenoglu et al (2019) for China being the only notable ones to the best of the authors' knowledge.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to examine the validity of the agriculture-induced environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis with evidence from an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach with a structural break including real income and energy consumption in the model for Ghana over the period 1980–2014.Design/methodology/approachThe ARDL approach with a structural break was used to analyze the agriculture-induced EKC model which has not been studied in Ghana. The dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), canonical cointegration regression (CCR) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) econometric methods were further used to validate the robustness of the estimates, and the direction of the relationship between the study variables was also clarified using the Toda–Yamamoto Granger causality test.FindingsThe ARDL results revealed that GDP, energy consumption and agricultural value added have significant positive effects on CO2 emissions, while GDP2 reduces CO2 emissions. The Toda-Yamamoto causality test results show a bidirectional causality running from GDP and energy consumption to CO2 emissions whereas a unidirectional long-term causality runs from GDP2 and agriculture value-added to CO2 emissions.Practical implicationsThis finding validated the presence of the agriculture-induced EKC hypothesis in Ghana in both the short run and long run, and the important role of agriculture and energy consumption in economic growth was confirmed by the respective bidirectional and unidirectional causal relationships between the two variables and GDP. Thus, a reduction in unsustainable agricultural practices is recommended through specific policies to strengthen institutional quality in Ghana for a paradigm shift from rudimentary technology to modern sustainable agrarian technologies.Originality/valueThis study is novel in the EKC literature in Ghana, as no study has yet been done on agriculture-induced EKC in Ghana, and the other EKC studies also failed to account for structural breaks which have been done by this study. This study further includes a causality analysis to examine the direction of the relationship which the few EKC studies in Ghana failed to address. Finally, dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), canonical cointegration regression (CCR) and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) methods are used for robustness check, unlike other studies with single methodologies.
