“…Echoing the successful application of both FMOLS and DOLS in testing the robustness of the ARDL results by Yuzbashkandi and Sadi [104], Pasha and Ramzan [112], Priyankara [107], and Adebayo [97] we consider these two methods as efficient estimators to study serial interactions and examine potential correlations between Y and X (1-4) . Some scholars, for instance, Aliyev et al [81], Guan et al [113], Yue et al [114], and Rahman et al [115], further checked FMOLS and DOLS results by employing the canonical cointegration regression (CCR). The method is commonly implemented to remove the long-run dependencies between the cointegrating equation and stochastic regressors, which does not apply to small samples in the short-run used in our study.…”

The stability of food supply chains is crucial to the food security of people around the world. Since the beginning of 2020, this stability has been undergoing one of the most vigorous pressure tests ever due to the COVID-19 outbreak. From a mere health issue, the pandemic has turned into an economic threat to food security globally in the forms of lockdowns, economic decline, food trade restrictions, and rising food inflation. It is safe to assume that the novel health crisis has badly struck the least developed and developing economies, where people are particularly vulnerable to hunger and malnutrition. However, due to the recency of the COVID-19 problem, the impacts of macroeconomic fluctuations on food insecurity have remained scantily explored. In this study, the authors attempted to bridge this gap by revealing interactions between the food security status of people and the dynamics of COVID-19 cases, food trade, food inflation, and currency volatilities. The study was performed in the cases of 45 developing economies distributed to three groups by the level of income. The consecutive application of the autoregressive distributed lag method, Yamamoto’s causality test, and variance decomposition analysis allowed the authors to find the food insecurity effects of COVID-19 to be more perceptible in upper-middle-income economies than in the least developed countries. In the latter, food security risks attributed to the emergence of the health crisis were mainly related to economic access to adequate food supply (food inflation), whereas in higher-income developing economies, availability-sided food security risks (food trade restrictions and currency depreciation) were more prevalent. The approach presented in this paper contributes to the establishment of a methodology framework that may equip decision-makers with up-to-date estimations of health crisis effects on economic parameters of food availability and access to staples in food-insecure communities.

“…The SDGs have been increasingly embraced by various countries and institutions worldwide [13]. For example, in tourism, there are various efforts aligned with the SDGs [14,15], including recognizing tourist areas of interest [4]; other efforts to implement the SDGs can be seen in sports [16], building [17], transport [18], waste management [19], water management [20], food [21][22][23], health [24,25], and supply chain management [26][27][28][29].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the world, creating the need for new actions from society, including universities and companies. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are part of a global agenda, but this priority is not significant to university students. Although some research has focused on SDGs and university students, there is a lack of evaluation and comparison in Latin American countries. The current study aims to evaluate student knowledge of the SDGs, the relation of student professional careers to the SDGs, the importance of the SDGs for economic development after the COVID-19 pandemic, and student interest research in SDG issues. The study is carried out with students in Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. The instrument was developed and validated. The highest score of level of knowledge was reported in Mexico and the lowest score in Colombia. This outcome can be explained by the availability of training programs in the universities about SDGs. The availability of programs created and promoted by the governments can also be a reason; however, students from Mexico are the ones who felt the most that the authorities are not making efforts to promote the SDGs. With research interests, interests in creating sustainable cities and communities, and responsible consumption and production were recognized for the four countries. The outcomes reveal several interesting insights through comparisons among the four countries considered according to descriptive analyses. Some SDGs were found to be more important for some countries than others. Interests were noted in research on some SDGs.

“…The differential results of population density and ecological footprints found visible in regression of Model-I and Model-III, while the confirmed relationship is found in Model -II by inclusion of square of the said variable and show the inverted U-shaped relationship between the variables to substantiate the PEF_KC hypothesis. The policies to reduce population density by sustainable instruments are highly needed to decrease ecological footprints [25]. The results not verified the 'TEEF hypothesis as trade decreases ecological factors across countries.…”

Environmental damages are largely visible by the man-made actions in general, including an enormous increase in international tourism, huge pressure on arable land by increasing population density, and global international trade. These stated factors are mainly responsible for 'ecological footprints' across the globe. The present study considered these factors in order to evaluate 'ecological footprints' in a panel of 130 countries for a period of 1995-2018. The dynamic differenced GMM estimator is used for empirical illustrations. The study used different regression estimators in order to get robust inferences and found that inbound tourism is the main detrimental factor of global environment that causes 'ecological footprint', which further exhibit the 'inverted U-shaped' relationship between them. Further, population density and countries economic growth first increases and later decreases ecological footprints to support 'inverted U-shaped relationship between them. The Granger causality results unable to verify the 'tourism-led growth' or 'growth-led tourism' hypothesis, while it shows 'no causal' relationship between them, although highly correlated in the regression estimates. Ecological footprint and population density both Granger cause inbound tourism, while the bidirectional relationship found between trade and inbound tourism. Sustainable tourism policies are highly needed to limit ecological footprints across countries.
