“…Anware (2014) assessed the same issue, and the study confirmed the findings of this current study that trade openness, GDP per capita, and FDI significantly affect tax revenue performance. Hlongwane et al (2022) found that tax revenue is positively affected by economic growth in the short run, while in the long run there is no effect. The current study, though it agrees with Hlongwane et al (2022) that tax revenue performance is positively affected by economic growth in the short run, disagrees on the long -run period.…”

“…He discovered that structural variables, which are exports and imports, have a significant impact on tax revenue. In the short run, economic growth has a positive impact on tax revenue, according to Hlongwane, Olebogeng, and Sithole (2022). Prowd and Kollie (2021) used monthly time series data and the VECM estimate technique to study the elements that are likely to drive tax revenue performance.…”

This study investigates the determinants of tax revenue performance in South Africa using time series data from 1990–2018. The study uses Augmented Dickey Fuller and the Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) tests to test stationarity in time series, while Johansen co-integration and error correction models identify long-run and short-run dynamics among variables. The results of the study revealed that Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, foreign direct investment, and trade openness are statistically significant and positively related to tax revenue performance. Unemployment was found to be statistically significant but also negatively correlated with tax revenue performance, while inflation was found to be negative but not statistically significant. The research's diagnostic tests confirmed the validity of the study model, revealing no serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, and a stable and correctly specified model. This study assists policy makers in having a thorough understanding of the determinants of tax revenue performance, and as a result, policymakers may create tax laws that complement the nation's economic environment. Knowing which variables, like GDP per capita, foreign direct investment, and trade openness, have a favourable impact on tax collection allows for more focused policy interventions. Understanding the relationship between tax rates and revenue performance is helpful in determining the ideal tax rates. Based on empirical data, policymakers can modify tax rates to maximise revenue without inhibiting economic growth. The study recommends that the South African government should enhance GDP, encourage foreign direct investment, decrease unemployment, and promote trade openness to enhance tax revenue performance.

“…The EKC has been examined in numerous telling scenarios, including air pollution emissions in a study by Selden and Song [97], carbon dioxide emissions in research by Arango Miranda et al [98], the impact of industrial construction on urban pollution from haze in the work of Wang et al [99], and waste discharge as reported by Ichinose et al [100]. There is research that provides evidence for the presence of the curve in some countries and for specific pollutants [101,102], whereas other studies [103] argue against its empirical accuracy.…”

Through the examination of the ecological consequences of human actions, policymakers are able to distinguish certain areas in which resource use can be increased and the generation of waste diminished. This study examines the effects of foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, industrialization, renewable energy consumption, and urban population on the ecological footprints in 131 countries between 1997 and 2020. The objective of this study is to establish a thorough understanding of the relationship between these variables and ecological footprints while considering temporal changes from economic and environmental aspects. The analysis of a substantial dataset encompassing many countries aims to uncover recurring patterns and trends that can provide valuable information for the formulation of policies and strategies pertaining to sustainable development on a global level. The study fills a significant gap in the knowledge on the ecological impact of different variables, providing a nuanced understanding of the interdependencies among these factors, thus guiding sustainable development strategies, and promoting global sustainability. The study utilizes quantile regression analysis, a nonparametric estimator, to estimate consistent coefficients. The statistical analysis reveals that FDI, urbanization, and GDP have statistically significant and positive effects on ecological footprints. Industrialization and renewable energy consumption show significant and negative relationships with ecological footprints. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the relationships among these variables and provide insight to inform policy and decision-making efforts focused on reducing ecological consequences and advancing sustainable development goals.

“…In terms of regulatory frameworks, the collaborative process regulating oil and gas development in Colorado represents a potential model for regulating other emerging concerns, such as indoor air pollution from wildfires (Murphy et al, 2019). Environmental conservation policies, technological advancement, and modern industrial policies are recommended to effectively reduce CO2 emissions in East African countries (Hlongwane & Daw, 2022). Furthermore, ensuring the environmental safety of offshore Arctic oil and gas projects is emphasized to mitigate environmental risks (Dmitrieva et al, 2021).…”

This study conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of the impact of environmental policies on oil and gas operations in Africa and the United States, shedding light on the regulatory frameworks that govern these crucial industries. As global concerns about climate change and environmental sustainability continue to rise, the role of governmental policies in shaping the practices of oil and gas companies has become a focal point of discussion. The research explores the diverse approaches taken by African nations and the USA in formulating and implementing environmental policies for the oil and gas sector. It investigates the regulatory landscapes, enforcement mechanisms, and the degree of alignment with international environmental standards in each region. The study employs a multidimensional framework, considering economic, social, and environmental dimensions, to assess the effectiveness of these policies in mitigating the environmental impact of oil and gas activities. By conducting a comparative review, the research identifies best practices, challenges, and areas for improvement in both regions. It examines the balance between fostering economic growth through energy production and ensuring sustainable environmental practices. Additionally, the study delves into the socio-economic implications of these policies, evaluating their effects on local communities, employment, and overall well-being. Through the analysis of case studies, regulatory documents, and industry reports, this research contributes to the ongoing dialogue on the role of environmental policies in shaping the oil and gas sector. The findings aim to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and environmental advocates about effective strategies for promoting sustainable practices while supporting the energy needs of growing economies. Ultimately, the comparative insights offered by this study contribute to the development of globally applicable guidelines for environmentally responsible oil and gas operations.
