Relationship between Globalization and Environmental Degradation in Low Income Countries: An Application of Kuznet Curve
This study examined how globalization and economic growth relate to environmental degradation in low-income countries, testing whether a Kuznets curve pattern (pollution rising then falling with income) exists. The results have implications for understanding how plastic consumption and waste generation change with development.
Assessing the impact of governance and health expenditures on carbon emissions in China: Role of environmental regulation
Researchers analysed the relationship between governance quality, health expenditures, environmental regulation, and carbon emissions in China from 1984 to 2018, finding an inverted U-shaped environmental Kuznets curve and that stronger environmental regulation helps decouple economic growth from carbon output.
FDI, Trade, and Finance: Catalysts for Green Growth in ASEAN-5
Researchers applied fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimation to investigate how foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial development affect green economic growth across ASEAN-5 countries from 2010 to 2021. Results showed that FDI and financial development have positive effects on green growth while trade openness has a negative impact, with policy implications for promoting environmentally responsible investment and stricter trade-related environmental regulations.
The influence of economic development, capital formation, and internet use on environmental degradation in Saudi Arabia
