A Chinese provincial dataset analysis found statistically significant asymmetric relationships between CO₂ emissions and environmental pollution with household health expenditure, confirming that greater pollution imposes higher healthcare costs on residents.
The Progressive Correlation Between Carbon Emission, Economic Growth, Energy Use, and Oil Consumption by the Most Prominent Contributors to Travel and Tourism GDPs
Researchers applied panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modelling to data from 18 leading tourism-GDP countries spanning 1995-2019, finding that economic growth, energy use, and oil consumption positively drove carbon emissions, while tourist arrivals showed a modest negative association with emissions in both the long and short run.
The impact of public environmental concerns on port sustainability: evidence from 44 port cities in China
Researchers analyzed data from 44 coastal port cities in China between 2010 and 2021 to examine how public environmental concern affects port sustainability. They found that public environmental concern significantly improves port sustainability, primarily by increasing local government environmental investments, with digital infrastructure amplifying this positive effect.
Neutralizing the surging environmental pollution amidst renewable energy consumption and economic growth in Ghana: Insights from ARDL and quantile regression analysis
This study analyzed the relationship between renewable energy consumption, economic growth, electricity access, and environmental degradation in Ghana from 1993 to 2020 using ARDL and quantile regression models. Results supported a partial Environmental Kuznets Curve, finding that renewable energy adoption reduces pollution at higher income levels.
Analyzing the linkage among CO2 emissions, economic growth, tourism, and energy consumption in the Asian economies
Researchers analyzed the long-run relationships between economic growth, tourism, energy use, and CO2 emissions in Asian economies from 1995–2017, finding evidence for the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis and that tourism significantly contributes to environmental degradation, with a coefficient of 0.132 linking tourism growth to increased carbon emissions across the region.
