Relationships among energy consumption, pollution emission, and economic growth in Nepal

Measuring the impact of energy consumption and air quality indicators on climate change: evidence from the panel of UNFCC classified countries

“…The results show that economic growth and energy consumption exert the positive association with the carbon dioxide emissions in the short run while in the long run, the result disappeared as economic growth has an adverse impact on carbon emissions in Malaysia. Bastola and Sapkota (2015) investigated the long-run causal relationship between economic growth, air pollution, and energy consumption in Nepal and found that there is a bidirectional causal relationship between energy consumption and air pollution in the country, while, growth hypothesis is also confirmed in relation to income and carbon emissions. Kasman and Duman (2015) examined the long-run relationship between income, air pollution, energy consumption, urbanization, and trade openness in the panel of new EU member and candidate countries, from 1992 to 2010.…”

Analysing the long-run relationship among oil market, nuclear energy consumption, and economic growth: An evidence from emerging economies

“…10 Payne and Taylor [81] find that there is no causal relationship between nuclear energy consumption and economic growth in the US. 11 finds that nuclear energy consumption has a positive and a statistically significant impact on Indian economic growth. 13 Table 10 shows that all the associated loading factors, a 1 , in economic growth equations for emerging economies are negative and significant, which is consistent with our normalization.…”

“…Nevertheless, the results of the causality relationships vary greatly between countries and thus, they could not give any universal policy recommendation. 5 For more information, see Bastola and Sapkota; Fallahi; Saboori and Sulaiman [11,31,87].…”

“…Accordingly, there is a unidirectional causality running from real oil price to economic growth in Russia, South Korea, and India. 11 Then, we re-estimate the model at this point using the PVECM (parsimonious vector equilibrium correction model) shown in Equation (5). The results of b and a estimates are based on the above exclusion and weak exogeneity restrictions for the investigated countries.…”

The battle of health with environmental evils of Asian countries: promises to keep

“…Haseeb and Azam (2015) established that green and renewable energy is one of the factors that lessen the effects of carbon emissions in the environment. Bastola and Sapkota (2015) examined the long-run and causal relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, and air pollution in Nepal, by using autoregressive distributed lag model. The results confirmed the long-run connections between the variables; in addition, the study supported the bidirectional causality between carbon emissions and energy consumption in the long run.…”
