    查看更多>>摘要：Renewable energy,energy efficiency,and nuclear energy research and development(RER,EER,and NER)budgets are immensely important to fulfill sustainable development goals 7,9,and 13,by accelerating energy innovation,energy transition,and climate control.The literature on the drivers of the load capac-ity factor(LCF),a recently developed ecological quality measure,is mounting;however,the roles of energy investments in the LCF are largely unknown.Accordingly,this study assesses the impacts of RER,EER,NER,and financial globalization(FIG)on the LCF using data from 1974 to 2018 for Germany.Advanced and reliable time series tests(Augmented ARDL,DOLS,and Fourier causality)are adopted to analyze cointegration,long-run impacts,and causal connections.The outcomes unveil that both green energy and energy efficiency R&D promote the LCF by enhancing ecological quality.However,the positive impact of NER on the LCF is found to be weaker than the impacts of RER and EER.FIG curbs ecological degradation by expanding the LCF.Additionally,the U-shaped connection between economic growth(ECG)and the LCF confirms the load capacity curve.Therefore,policymakers should focus on RER and EER to preserve the environment and promote sustainable growth.

    查看更多>>摘要：The captivating surge of energy transitions in the major industrialized nations has elevated the global demand for critical minerals.The demand pattern has enabled mineral-abundant emerging economies like Indonesia to enter the international market by exporting mineral goods.Accordingly,we investigate the Indonesian mineral export supply's response to the renewable energy production of the 18 clean energy-generating countries,considering crude oil and mineral prices,exchange rates,and economic growth of the resource and importer countries from 1990 to 2020.In doing so,we apply the Poisson Pseudo-maximum Likelihood(PPML)approach to measuring the panel gravity model for mineral exports in Indonesia.As a result,we observe a significant response of Indonesia's mineral export supply to the renewable energy generation of the 18 mineral importing countries.Besides,mineral and crude oil prices are insignificant,whereas the importer countries'exchange rates and income growth positively influence Indonesia's mineral export growth.However,Indonesia's income factor negatively affects its mineral export supply.Finally,we validate our results using an alternative estimator,the Driscoll-Kraay robust standard error estimation technique.Therefore,our findings suggest implementing Indonesia's existing mineral policy to produce finished mineral goods to materialize the worldwide vision of energy transi-tions toward a crossroad of net-zero emissions by the middle of the current century.

    Role of knowledge economy in managing demand-based environmental Kuznets Curve

    Rukhsana KalimShajara Ul-DurarMubasher IqbalNoman Arshed...
    413-426页
    查看更多>>摘要：Aggregate demand or supply at equilibrium is commonly used as a representative of the macroeconomic activity of an economy whereby aggregate demand denotes the behaviour of individuals and households.However,aggregate demand can also directly affect environmental deterioration via changes in aggregate production.This study tried to explore this relationship,known as the demand-based Environmental Kuznets Curve(Demand EKC)and the role of different knowledge economy indicators.Knowledge econ-omy indicators are proposed to influence consumption patterns,altering the demand EKC that empirical studies have understudied.For this purpose,secondary data for 147 countries were collected from 2008 to 2018,also classified as development-wise.This study found that aggregate demand significantly affects carbon emissions.The long-run results are estimated using the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square method.Controlling factors like renewable energy consumption,population density,and financial development significantly affect carbon emissions in sample countries.This study has incorporated four pillars of a knowledge-based economy and the results showed that these indicators helped reduce consumption-related CO2 emissions.

    An empirical investigation of financial development and ecological footprint in South Asia:Bridging the EKC and pollution haven hypotheses

    Ilhan OzturkSohail FarooqMuhammad Tariq MajeedMarinko Skare...
    443-452页
    查看更多>>摘要：This research explores the dynamic relationships between ecological footprint,economic performance,financial development,energy usage,and foreign direct investment(FDI)in South Asian economies uti-lizing the panel data from 1971 to 2018.In panel data analysis,conventional methods generally ignore the issues of cross-sectional dependency and the heterogenous nature of cross-sectional units.The other concern with the existing research is that most of the studies ignore the significance of ecological foot-print while evaluating financial development and FDI as sources of environmental changes.The long-term relationship among the indicators is tested utilizing the Westerlund cointegration test.The findings support both environmental Kuznets curve and pollution haven hypotheses for South Asian economies.Besides,the empirical findings suggest that financial development increases environmental conservation while energy usage substantially disrupts the environment of the selected south Asian nations.Additionally,the heterogeneous causality analysis reveals the causal relationships between the variables.Thus,overall results recommend that the South Asian economies need to boost economic growth without compromising the environment,decrease fossil fuel usage,enhance financial sector growth and incen-tivize environmentally friendly FDI to conserve the environment in the region.
