One of the prime concern policy makers should be to ensure energy security in country. The case Pakistan is interesting a sense that with growing age country, increasing reliance on imported sources resulting huge demand-supply gap which evident suppressed demand for electricity and natural gas. It has social, economic environmental consequences. Most countries world have shifted their focus from indigenous resources are more often cheap, friendly provide competitiveness. study reveals,...

This study investigates how the monetary policies of USA, EU, and China affect global green investment differently by using dynamic autoregressive distributive lag (DARDL) model kernel-based regularized least squares (KRLS). DARDL's results show that US policy is not conducive to in short long term. The EU's conventional negatively impacts investment, but only However, China's boosts inference from response simulations implies easing US, positively influences run. magnitude EU greater than...

The developing countries rely heavily on imports of capital goods to spur economic growth. When the economy grows, energy consumption rises, adversely impacting climate change. low levels renewable share in total consumption, nations confront a difficult task achieving SDGs targets related an increase and access affordable, reliable, modern energy. Finding solutions usage is critical. International trade unavoidable part development, prompting us consider impact usage. This study explores...

Abstract The study bridges the gap between growth and business cycle literature by addressing two critical issues related to connection financial development (FD) macroeconomic fluctuations (MF). First, it explores strategies for achieving FD in an emerging economy. Second, examines extent which can occur while maintaining system stability. To address first problem, research evaluates impact of main components FD, inclusion depth, on fluctuation, second issue different degrees depth...

Energy efficiency improvements owing to technological progress in the energy-using appliances and equipment lower effective price of energy services and, turn, result into behavioural ex-post increase consumption energy. Thus, on net basis negatively influences effectiveness circumvent effects environmental sustainable policies. This study is first its nature Pakistan that estimates magnitude direct rebound effect residential electricity consumption. Using time series data from 1973 2016, we...

Purpose The first purpose of this study is to examine the impacts climate-caused cereal productivity changes on food security, welfare and GDP in South Asian countries. second assess agricultural subsidies Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) as policy responses climate change. Design/methodology/approach present uses computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework econometric approach an integrated manner economic An model used identify impact change yields CGE future effect through...

The present study develops an integrated assessment model (IAM) for food security under climate change South Asia. For IAM, initially, econometric is estimated that identifies the impact of on crop yields, using historical relationships between temperature, precipitation, and production cereals. Subsequently, future projections have been collected temperature precipitation from models Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5), previous applied to obtain implied cereal yields...

Policymakers in developing countries like Pakistan mostly ignore the behavioral aspects of climate change mitigation, whereas literature is also deficient advocating evidence-based mitigation strategies. This study aims to analyze impact personality traits, social norms, and attitudes on energy conservation behavior. Face-to-face interviews 361 households are conducted capital city using random sampling. According characteristics data, ordered logistic regression model applied. The results...

Purpose This study aims to examine peoples’ perception of climate change. It assessed their attitude, behavioural motivation for mitigating and adapting change in the two capital cities South Asia: Islamabad Pakistan Dhaka Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach used quantitative research technique based on responses 800 close-ended questions embedded a questionnaire, which were filled-out from randomly selected sample respondents. The primary data was analysed presented through tabulation....

Over the past decade, scientists and economists have shown consensus that agricultural production is at high stake due to climatic changes.Crops are hit by droughts, floods, heavy or low levels of rainfall, humidity, decreasing water resources increasing wind storms.On other side, farmers adopting new technology, which upholding production.Considering these aspects, present study examines impact climate change technology adoption on cereal yields in South Asian countries.We develop an...

Greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change, and agriculture is the most vulnerable sector. Farmers do have some capability to adapt changing weather climate, but this contingent on many factors, including geographical socioeconomic conditions. Assessing actual adaptation potential in agricultural sector therefore an empirical issue, which paper contributes by presenting a study examining impacts of change cereal yields 55 developing developed countries, using data from 1991 2015. The...

Abstract This study aims to analyze the role of health, education, energy and pollution in affecting productivity selected emerging economies. Industrial share GDP, trade openness Information Communication Technology (ICT) are used as control variables. Various dimensions health education explored that include malnutrition, access clean water, HIV, life expectancy years schooling at several levels. A set Fixed Effect models provide evidence all variables critical for productivity. Further,...

The weather related disasters are rising worldwide due to global warming. Nowadays, the countries more vulnerable climatic and thus face extensively risk of loss life property. Natural have been identified as major threats human development. present study attempts identify effect natural on development index (HDI). sample consists 30 from all over world data ranges 1990 2018. We use generalised method moments (GMM) estimate model. results indicate that disaster vulnerability negatively...

The contemporary world has become increasingly interdependent in terms of economic, social and political development. These various forms interdependence, usually termed globalization, help disseminate ideas, information, products, services around the world. Increase globalization also increased path-dependence, affecting social, institutional development completing some industries, products technologies to grow line with global demand changing standards. While role economic growth,...

The collection of forest products by indigenous communities is the main cause deforestation and a major obstacle to efficient management. This study develops time allocation model for representative household living in peripheries forest. It assumed that allocates their labour between three activities: agriculture, product extraction, off-farm activities. Households maximize net income subject available resources. Using Optimal Control Theory applying unique global maxima, results...

Over the past decade, a consensus has emerged among scientists that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by human activities are responsible for changing earth's climate, which in turn increased vulnerability. It is observed increasing temperatures cause work stress, fatigue and decrease cognitive abilities of workers. also affects machines' performance, thereby decreasing labour capital productivity. Given importance productivity long-term economic growth sustainability economies, this...

Abstract This paper applies social network analysis (SNA) techniques to the input–output table in order investigate production of Pakistan’s economy. Through different measures, it identifies sectors that exert significant direct and indirect impacts on other sectors. The findings reveal that, overall, have weak forward linkages relative backward linkages. services sectors, particularly transportation trade services, highest out-degree (a measure linkages). In contrast, manufacturing...
