“…But when the goal is economic growth, the price paid can be a decrease in the quality of the environment, in the context in which most economies are still dependent on fossil fuels (Khan, 2021). It also promotes the idea of investing in new, unpolluted technologies (Rokhmawati, 2021). However, in the current period the biggest changes are given by the IT industry.…”

Over the last decades, all countries have pursued an ambitious climate policy, thus showing a growing concern about climate change, global warming, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, or environmental taxes. Water, air, and soil pollution caused by gas emissions directly affect human health, but also the economies of states. As people’s ability to adapt to novel changes becomes increasingly difficult, globally, they are constantly trying to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions in a variety of ways. Environmental taxes, in general, and energy taxes, in particular, are considered effective tools, being recommended by specialists, among other instruments used in environmental policy. The aim of this research is to assess, empirically, the influence of environmental taxes levels on greenhouse gas emissions in 28 European countries, with a time span between 1995 and 2019. Regarding the empirical research, the proposed methods are related to Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models in panel data and also at country level. At panel level, we used the estimation of non-stationary heterogeneous panels and also the dynamic common-correlated effects model with heterogeneous coefficients over cross-sectional units and time periods. The results obtained show that the increase in environmental taxes leads, in most countries, to a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions. To test the robustness of our results, we have included supplementary economic and social control variables in the model, such as gross domestic product (GDP), population density, exports, or imports. Overall, our paper focuses on the role of environmental policy decisions on greenhouse gas emissions, the results of the study showing, in most cases, an inverse impact of the taxation level on the reduction of gas emissions.

“…The study conducted by Rokhmawati (2021) used mediation regression analysis in order to examine the effect of foreign ownership, green investment and export on competitiveness for Indonesian economy (sample consist of 445 manufacturing companies) for period 2016 -2017. The main conclusions of the paper were that FDI has an important contribution to increasing the competitiveness of local companies -through transferring high standard of environmental practices and technology‖ (p. 9) but GHG emission growth has a negative effect on competitiveness.…”

The activity of companies with foreign capital is more often in the center of attention of the public opinion, researchers and public authorities considering the positive effects but also the negative externalities that it generates on the economies of the host countries. With the liberalization of capital movements, FDI was consider the panacea that could solve all economic, environmental and social problems in the host less developed countries, but the reality is much more complex. In order to test if foreign direct investment (FDI) is caused by competitiveness in case of Romania, we considered FDI inflows externalities for national economy, net inflows (% of GDP) and Competitiveness index for the time period 2007-2018. The econometric methodology used to model FDI and Competitiveness Index is Granger Causality. The results of the study suggest that there is a unidirectional causality, flowing from Competitiveness Index to foreign direct investment. Thus, in case of Romania, foreign direct investment represents the result of competitiveness, FDI does not influence Competitiveness index.

“…Based on cross-border panel data of 66 countries worldwide, Zhang et al (2016)used spatial measurement methods to explore the effect of trade competitiveness on CO2 emissions and found a significant nonlinear inverse "U" relationship between trade competitiveness and CO2 emissions. For the corporate perspective, Rokhmawati (2021)has proven in Indonesia that reducing greenhouse gas emissions can drive competitiveness. For China, Gao (2010)confirmed that the increase in China's export trade competitiveness has led to a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions.…”

Under the pressure of emission-reduction, China's regional economy needs to eliminate the mode of high energy consumption, high pollution, and high emission. However, the economic development of each region has its own characteristics. Therefore, to analyze the differences in the effect of regional economic development on CO2 emissions, this work made an investigation from the perspective of regional economic competitiveness. First, using the panel data of thirteen economic factors from 2003-2017, this work evaluated the economic competitiveness of 30 provinces from the four aspects: competitiveness of residents’ wealth (WC), competitiveness of opening-up (OC), competitiveness of technology (TC), and competitiveness of industrial structure (IC). Furthermore, the panel principal component regression model (PPCR) was established for the eastern region, the central region, and the western region according to the score of competitiveness in four aspects. The results suggested that the promoting effect of WC on CO2 emissions presented the rule opposite to WC. In other words, the stronger the competitive advantage of WC, the weaker its effect on promoting CO2 emissions. The "pollution refuge" hypothesis was verified in all three regions of China. And the promotion of CO2 emissions by OC was the strongest in the central region, followed by the eastern region, and the weakest in the western region. TC promoted CO2 emissions in the central region, but inhibited CO2 emissions in the eastern and western regions. Finally, the inhibiting effect of IC on CO2 emissions showed the same law as IC. Based on the conclusions, some recommendations were put forward.
