“…Apart from EG and energy consumption, TI is considered another major determinant of environmental quality (Nathaniel et al 2021;Murshed et al, 2021b;Zeraibi et al, 2021). This is primarily because innovation ensures better utilization of clean factors of production, especially renewable energy, to facilitate the production of the national output (Chen & Lee, 2020;Siddique et al, 2020;Zameer et al, 2020).…”

The group of seven (G-7) countries are seven of the most advanced global nations. Yet, these nations have not been able to achieve environmentally sustainable economic growth (EG) in the past. Consequently, despite growing economically, the environmental quality in the G-7 countries has persistently deteriorated. Hence, the present study examined the environmental impacts associated with EG, technological innovation, institutional quality (IQ), renewable energy consumption (RENE) and population using the carbon dioxide emission figures to measure environmental quality in the G-7 economies for the period 1996–2018. The econometric analyses involved the application of different estimation techniques that control the cross-sectional dependency and slope heterogeneity issues in the data. Overall, the results indicated that greater EG and higher population size increase environmental pollution by boosting the carbon dioxide emission levels. In contrast, technological innovation, IQ improvement, and greater RENE were found to impede the carbon dioxide emission levels. In line with these key findings, several environmental development-related policies are recommended.

“…Under the constraint of environmental regulations, enterprises must increase investment in pollution control, which directly increases the cost of enterprises and reduces FDI. Murshed et al (2021) confirmed the validity of "pollution heaven hypothesis" in South Asia. FDI inflows are detrimental to the prospects of achieving environmental sustainability within the concerned South Asian countries.…”

“…This research reveals that environmental regulations can have an impact on comparative advantage in each country. Based on the Heckscher-Ohlin model, McGuire (1982) incorporates an environmental factor regarding environmental regulations, finding that environmental regulations generate a shift in production from more regulated countries to less regulated countries.…”

This paper aims to investigate the impact of environmental regulations on trade patterns, in terms of trade in environmental goods listed in Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) and Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Environmental goods are defined here as those that enable sustainable growth and reduce pollution from human activity. For this reason, issues on environmental goods can be put at the forefront to analyze the linkage between environmental regulations and trade flows in the perspective of international institutions. Within the framework of a gravity model, panel data on 112 exporter countries and 53 importer countries is used at a bilateral level over the period of 1989–2013 to gain an understanding of this trade-environmental regulation nexus. This paper proxies the environmental policies by employing the z-score, which includes three comprehensive environmental indicators. The findings indicate that the strict environmental policies impede the trade, and this effect is greater in terms of the environmental goods listed in APEC compared to the ones listed in OECD. Finally, although these stringent environmental regulations reduce the trade flows, they can help to foster the demand for environmentally-friendly products.
