The nexus between environment-economic development has been investigated for a long time. Many empirical studies have measured environmental degradation by CO2 emissions and ignored the possibility that use of such metric as indicator may be invalid in some cases when it comes to resource stocks. This paper focuses on two indicators including ecological footprint (EF) target variables provide new insights into ongoing discussions whether Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis is related pressure...

Abstract Proper use and efficient management of natural resources are critical to shaping a sustainable future in many resource‐rich countries Africa. It is also well‐known that globalization creates great awareness for resource extraction provides cleaner production technology transfers underdeveloped enables them establish development pattern. However, evidence on the role reducing environmental impacts resource‐based economies relatively scant. This study investigates strategies by...

Abstract The effectiveness of environmental taxes for achieving carbon abatement has been subject to important debates on the sustainable development pathway. Theoretically, it is expected that taxation (ERT) can reduce emissions by enhancing innovation and energy efficiency are main drivers sustainability. purpose study investigate non‐linear effects ERT dioxide (CO 2 ) controlling technologies, patens economic growth within limitation available longest data set covering period 1994–2015....

This study examines environmental convergence in ecological footprint and its sub-components a region subjected to rapid degradation of conditions and, where conservation significantly remains unpopular both government policy priorities academic literature. is expected contribute policy-shaping the terms sustainable development goals global climate protocols. To this end, employs sophisticated methodological approach (log t regression) that accounts for slope heterogeneity using pool...

ABSTRACT This paper aims to characterize the spatial set‐up of Nigeria's grain market integration from January 2002 December 2013 across 19 Nigerian regions. Using price data maize, sorghum, and millet, two hypotheses are tested: (i) law one pairs, (ii) leader hypothesis in any network pairs. The results suggest that fails hold many cases for over 60% while perfect is found be considerably stronger organized local markets such as Abuja Lagos than remote markets. There evidence Northeastern...

This study offers a new perspective on the drivers of environmental sustainability for sector level (manufacturing, mining, agriculture, business, trade, and transport) analysis. In this case, country-level sectoral dynamic index technology adoption emission intensity were constructed to efficiency effect diffusion across tradable non-tradable sectors by using empirical illustration 49 developing emerging countries during 1990–2018 period. By correcting potential bias arising from...

In spite the growing attention on role of carbon capturing and sequestration schemes in mitigating emissions, its contribution to deployment renewable energy remains uncomfortably low, especially Europe. Thus, current study contributes literature by investigating how natural capital captured biocapacity amidst emission influences controlling for openness trade oil utilization among European countries. Based a panel data analysis over period 1990–2016, we follow rigorous econometric...

Accelerating the pace of energy technological innovation is essential to curb global climate change and build a clean system. Based on this idea, from perspective renewable technology gaps across countries, study presents thorough empirical analysis convergence research, development, demonstration (RD&D) budgets OECD countries over 1985–2017. In doing so, we apply two-regimes threshold autoregressive approach account for heterogeneity, nonlinearity, transition path in RD&D convergence. One...
