“…Kuznets (1955) suggested that the hypothesis on the theoretical nexus of economic growth and environmental degradation followed an inverted U -shape pattern, the EKC hypothesis. This inverted U -shape curve is also because industrial activity, in the long run, will be shifted to developing nations to reduce pollution (Cherniwchan, 2012; Fæhn and Bruvoll, 2009). Besides, McConnell (1997) came out with empirical results that validate the EKC hypothesis.…”

“…Several studies have put forward the studies on the trade-off between economic growth and environmental degradation: such as the European Union (Bekun et al ., 2019), Qatar (Salahuddin and Gow, 2019), Turkey (Ozcan et al , 2018), 34 Asian countries (Le et al , 2019), 63 countries (Ahmed et al , 2019), Brazil (Zambrano-Monserrate et al , 2016), just to name a few. Different approaches used by scientists have attempted to scrutinize this trade-off from the context of different energy forms, non-energy-related factors, socioeconomic and other factors.…”

PurposeIn spite of the drive toward environmental sustainability and the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs), coal, oil and natural gas energy utilization has remained the Turkey's largest energy mix. In view of this concern, this study examined the role of coal and oil energy utilization in environmental sustainability drive of Turkey from the framework of sustainable development vis-à-vis income expansion over an extended period of 1965–2017.Design/methodology/approachIn this regard, the authors employ carbon emission as an environmental and dependent variable while the Gross Domestic Product per capita (GDPC), coal and oil energy consumption are the explanatory variables employed in the study.FindingsThe study found that both energy mixes (coal and oil) have a detrimental impact on the environment in both the short and long run, but oil consumption exerts a less severe impact as compared to coal energy. In addition, sustainable development via income growth is not feasible because the income–environmental degradation relationship follows a U-shaped pattern (invalidating the Environmental Kuznets curve, EKC hypothesis) especially when coal and oil remained the major source of lubrication to the economy. At least the EKC hypothesis is unattainable in Turkey as long as the country's major energy mix or primary energy (coal and oil) is in use, thus the application of other socioeconomic, macroeconomic policies might be essential.Research limitations/implicationsConsidering the lingering energy challenge associated with Turkey, this novel insight further presented useful policy perspectives to the government and stakeholders in the country's energy sector.Originality/valueThis evidence (the U-shaped relationship) is further ascertained when the aggregate primary energy is employed. Thus, this study provides a novel insight that attaining a sustainable economic growth in Turkey remained a herculean task as long as a more aggressive energy transition approach is not encouraged.

“…In this study, we believe that developed countries, producers and consumers and are to be blamed for the aftermaths of the environmental leakages. Developing countries imports dirty products and this lead to displacement of emissions abroad and often an overall increase in the global pollution [16]. Hence, the present study was designed to determine the cost of health problems associated with air pollution, while incorporating environmental leakage.…”

“…In this paper, we consider environmental leakage, which happens when rich country imports dirty products from developing countries. This phenomenon leads to displacement of emissions abroad and often an increase in the global pollution [16]. According to [17], the consumption-based approach is necessary to calculate the impact of production activities.…”

In recent years the topic of air pollution is gaining more attention due to the health effects its has on human lives. At the same time, we can observe popularization of Electric Vehicles (EVs), due to their environmental and economic benefits. However, a few studies suggest that EVs might be not environmental friendly in the long term. Hence, there is a need to investigate the emissions produced by EVs and the monetary cost of them on the health. This paper aims to quantify the cost of health diseases by employing life cycle assessment of EVs in Japan, China, Poland and the United Kingdom. The results of the study imply that the total cost of health issues is lower when import of EVs is from the nearby countries, which generate electricity from clean energy resources or when it is produced in a low emission country locally.

“…Using input-output decomposition, Levinson (2009) calculates that the transfer of polluting industries overseas accounted for around 10% of US emissions reductions over the period 1987-2001. Using both historical data and CGE modelling, Faehn and Bruvoll (2009) find that economic growth was not associated with leakage impacts in the form of net imports of 'dirty' goods.…”

Impacts of regional productivity growth, decoupling and pollution leakage. Regional Studies. This paper examines the issues of decoupling regional economic growth and pollution and the extent to which pollution effects spillover regional/national borders. Specifically, a UK, regionally disaggregated, computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to investigate the relationship between economic growth and the level of CO 2 emissions posited by the 'environmental Kuznets curve' (EKC) conjecture using production accounting principle (PAP) and consumption accounting principle (CAP) environmental accounting methods. The simulation results suggest that at the regional level the existence of an EKC relationship depends on the source of regional growth and the how this relationship is specified. partir d'un modèle d'équilibre général calculable (Égc) du R-U, désagrégé à l'échelle régionale, on examine le rapport entre la croissance économique et le niveau des émissions de CO 2 avancé par l'hypothèse de 'la courbe environnementale de Kuznets' (Cek), en employant des méthodes de comptabilité environnementale suivant les principes comptables quant à la production (PAP; production accounting principle) et à la consommation (CAP; consumption accounting principle). Les résultats de la simulation laissent supposer que sur le plan régional la présence d'un rapport Cek dépend de l'origine de la croissance régionale et de comment on peut préciser ce rapport. KEYWORDS MOTS-CLÉS RESUMENRepercusiones del crecimiento de la productividad regional, disociación y fugas de contaminación. Regional Studies. En este artículo se analizan los problemas de la disociación del crecimiento económico regional y la contaminación, y en qué medida los efectos de la contaminación desbordan las fronteras regionales y nacionales. En concreto, mediante un modelo británico del equilibrio general computable disgregado regionalmente, analizamos la relación entre el crecimiento económico y el nivel de emisiones CO 2 postulado por la conjetura de la 'curva ambiental de Kuznets' (CAK) a partir de los métodos contables medioambientales del principio contable de la producción y del principio contable del consumo. Los resultados de la simulación indican que a nivel regional la existencia de una relación de la CAK depende de la fuente del crecimiento regional y el modo en que se especifica esta relación.
