The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has infected more than three million people, with thousands of deaths and millions of people into quarantine. In this research, the authors focus on meteorological and climatic factors on the COVID-19 spread, the main parameters including daily new cases of COVID-19, carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), PM2.5, Ozone (O3), average temperature, and humidity are examined to understand how different meteorological parameters affect the COVID-19 spread in Canada? The graphical quantitative analysis results indicate that CO2 emissions, air quality, temperature, and humidity have a direct negative relationship with COVID-19 infections. Quantile regression analysis revealed that air quality, Nitrogen, and Ozone significantly induce the COVID-19 spread across Canadian provinces. The findings of this study are contrary to the earlier studies, which argued that weather and climate change significantly increase COVID-19 infections. We suggested that meteorological and climatic factors might be critical to reducing the COVID-19 new cases in Canada based on the findings. This work’s empirical conclusions can provide a guideline for future research and policymaking to stop the COVID-19 spread across Canadian provinces.

Purpose The main purpose of the study is to examine the impact of governance indicators, to control carbon emission, through the environmental awareness and pro-environmental behavior. Previously, researchers have attempted to explore the factors of carbon emission and report the number of solutions. Despite that, the environmental degradation process is surging. Design/methodology/approach The study uses quantile regressions (QR) techniques by using the yearly data of Saudi Arabia for the period of 1970–2018. QR reports the results at different quantiles which is useful for conclusion. Findings The empirical results have confirmed the significant and negative coefficients of governance indicators, mentioning that governance effectiveness and regulatory quality leads to reduction of carbon emission, in the case of Saudi Arabia. Practical implications The Saudi Government has to improve governance effectiveness to eradicate environmental hazards. However, it is necessary to enhance the quality of regulations regarding formation as well as the implementation of policies to confirm that firms and public follow the pro-environmental behavior. Originality/value The study is the pioneer, which addresses the governance parameters, governance effectiveness and regulatory quality to minimize the carbon emission for Saudi Arabia.

Improving ecological well-being performance (EWP) is the essential requirement of green transformation development and ecological civilization construction. With the help of a network DEA model and threshold panel regression model, this study evaluated urban ecological well-being performance to explore the evolution process, impact, and optimization path of urban ecological well-being performance in the Yangtze River Delta from 2001 to 2017. The findings are as follows: (1) The ecological well-being performance of all cities in the region had been steadily improving since 2001, most cities had realized the transformation from a low performance level to a higher performance level, and there was an obvious spatial mismatch between urban economic development level and ecological well-being performance. (2) A regional urban ecological well-being performance development mode was constantly optimized, sustainable urban development ability was improved, and the number of high-high (HH) mode cities was gradually increasing while the number of low-low (LL) mode cities was gradually decreasing. (3) Under the influence of threshold variables of population density, industrialization level, and environmental regulation, the impact of urbanization on ecological well-being performance had different threshold characteristics. Economic growth, industrialization, and government macro-control had significantly negative restraining effects, while consumption level, industrial structure upgrading, energy efficiency, and technological innovation had significantly positive driving effects.

The present study explores the important contributors of energy efficiency in OECD countries, by taking the energy intensity and carbon intensity as a proxy of energy efficiency. Notably, we study the role of three indicators of export diversification (export product diversification, extensive margin and intensive margin) for energy intensity and carbon intensity in 29 OECD countries, which further allow us to draw new and innovative conclusions. In doing so, we use the data from 1990 to 2015 and employ alternative panel data estimations; sequential estimation, panel quantile regressions, system GMM and difference GMM, for an in-depth and detailed empirical analysis. In our empirical analysis, we robust check the impacts of export diversification on carbon intensity and investigate the role of institutional factors for energy intensity. The empirical outcomes provide robust evidence that all three indicators of export diversification help to reduce energy intensity and might be used as a policy factor in improving energy efficiency and sustainable environment. The empirical evidence further reports practical implications for policymakers and environmental scientists to achieve the greener growth, energy efficiency and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) of OECD countries.

This article explores the impacts of high technology exports on energy consumption, energy intensity, and carbon intensity for a panel of six GCC economies covering a period of 1990 to 2017. For detailed empirical analysis, we employ panel techniques to explore the linkages between high technology exports and energy efficiency in GCC countries. The empirical results demonstrate that high technology exports help to reduce overall energy demand with −0.154% and energy intensity with −0.254% in GCC countries. Notably, we observe that effects on technology exports on carbon intensity are significantly lower in magnitude with −0.010%. Notably, the long empirics are in consistent with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG's) of GCC countries (cleaner and affordable energy, environmental awareness, climate change action, etc.). The findings suggest that new and innovative energy conservation policies should be introduced to promote energy efficient equipment’s and technologies for cleaner and greener growth.

During the pandemic, the stock markets of developed countries have reported a jittery trend. The current study focuses on the impact of COVID‐19 on Pakistani stock market, which belongs to a developing economy. The findings of current study have contradicted with the previous studies, which reported an adverse effect of COVID‐19 on developed stock markets. We conclude that KSE‐100 index has confirmed positive increment in stock returns. In addition, by using three predicted scenarios of COVID‐19, we report the significant increase in KSE‐100 index. However, it seems clear that the timely intervention of Pakistani government has safeguard the investors from utter disaster of stock market.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is a public health emergency that had caused disastrous results in more than 100 countries. The ability to detect disease outbreaks in the early stages is a key component of efficient disease control and prevention. With the increased availability of electronic health-care data and spatial analysis techniques, there is great potential to develop algorithms to enable more effective disease surveillance. The research focuses to develop a transparent user-friendly method to simulate the outbreak data. The paper describes the GIS tools to identify and define the field of investigation which requires consideration of the strengths and limitations of data collection instruments, facility of locational data collection, accuracy of locational data, and pertinent attributes for understanding disease risk. Using such information, it is quite easy for authorities to locate the highly effected area and take appropriate actions in that particular areas. However, GIS techniques, resources, and methods can be used in Pakistan for more effective investigation of vulnerable geographical locations.

Developing economies are facing multifaceted problems like dramatic increase in motorized traffic, urban heat island, urban sprawl, and climatic changes. Environmental Performance Index report states that Pakistan is on 169 among 180 countries due to ill-planned development on prime agriculture land, poor air, water quality, and jeopardizing ecosystem of the country. The change of land uses from the natural to the built environment has created problems like loss of vegetation and habitat, enlarged surface flow, and heavy floods. However, this study addresses this core issue by taking responses from the residents of Lahore, Pakistan. Current research focuses on the willingness and perception of residents regarding the adaptation of green roof technology. The resident perceptions are obtained by a structured questionnaire and analyzed by using statistical techniques. The findings of the research highlight that adaptation of green roof is primarily linked with the four factors, i.e., awareness of green roof among all stakeholders, special provision in building regulation concerning green roof, sustainable environmental consciousness, and subsidized cost of green roof materials.

The paper attempts to investigate the volatility spillover between oil and stock markets returns (namely Karachi, Shanghai and Bombay) by using bivariate BEKK-GARCH model covering the period from 1997 to 2014. Further, the data is divided before crisis and after crisis period to capture the role of volatility spillover across different economic scenarios. The findings have confirmed the significant role of historical shocks and volatility of one market on current volatility of the market itself in all three oil and stock markets. Overall, the volatility spillover between oil and stock market has confirmed the bidirectional spillover in Karachi stock market, unidirectional in case of Shanghai stock market, whereas, Bombay stock market has confirmed mixed evidences. These results have confirmed the first strand of the paper that there exists a spillover between oil and stock markets. The second strand of the paper discuss the spillover before and after the crisis period, the results have not shown significant differences between the two periods. Interestingly, the estimated results vary across data frequencies used; daily, weekly and monthly.

The 9/11 terrorist attacks in United States and the subsequent declaration of war on terror have upturned worldwide issues including terrorist attacks, fatalities, disbursement of foreign aid and development assistance. Since 9/11 attacks, US economic and military aids and official development assistance have played a vital role in the South Asian region. Present study is the pioneer to examine the reaction of different types of foreign aid toward counter-terrorism policies. For this purpose, the paper used annual data of studied factors for the period 1991 to 2016 and employed three models as preferred and full specification, pre and post 9/11 analysis and financial crisis analysis. For econometric estimations, the study used quantile regression method, negative binomial regression, system GMM and two stage IV regression techniques with different control variables. Accordingly, the study documented that all types of foreign aid namely; development assistance, economic aid, military aid fuels terrorism in recipient countries, due to institutional problems or ongoing civil conflicts. We also find evidence that military expenditures and media freedom tends to have negative relationship on terrorism.

Present study contributes to the existing literature by introducing the role of urban income and urban expenditure to control the carbon emission, especially produced by urbanization. Additionally, investment in industrial treatment plant is used to study its impact in carbon reduction. By using the data of 30 Chinese provinces over the period of 2005–2015, we have reported that urbanization and industrialization are main culprits of the carbon emission, whereas the higher urban income leads to decrease the carbon emission that has been caused by urbanization, as mentioned by the negative coefficient of urban income. Moreover, the investment in industrial treatment plants help to reduce the industrial carbon emission. Post-policy estimations have confirmed that forest management can be a useful measure to eradicate the carbon emission. Overall, the findings confirm that higher urban income, industrial carbon treatment plants, and forest investment activities are useful to control the precipitous increase in carbon emission. Given results enhance the existing literature as well as deliver the policy implications to curtail the environmental degradation process.

This study aimed to analyze the shock transmission and volatility spillover between firm stocks and oil assets by using the BEKK-GARCH model in which a variance and covariance series are used for portfolio optimization. For this purpose, we use the daily data from 107 Pakistani-listed firms covering the period from January 2000 to August 2017. Our overall results confirm the interdependence between firm stocks and oil assets. Additionally, there is strong evidence of volatility spillover from stocks to oil and from oil to stocks. The results from the portfolio optimization show the importance of oil assets in the formation of an optimal portfolio. Moreover, we find that in the case of manufacturing firm stocks, the investors should spend >50% of their total investment to purchase oil assets, while the remaining investment should be used to acquire firm stocks. On the other hand, in the case of investments in oil and gas firm stocks, it is evident that investors can form an optimal portfolio by spending a larger proportion of their investments on firm stocks rather than on oil assets. This research implication can be valuable for portfolio managers and individual investors who are willing to invest in Pakistani stocks.

Using unbalanced data from 30 provinces in China between 1990 and 2015, this paper investigates the impact of urbanization on energy intensity with three control variables: economic growth, industrialization, and foreign direct investment. All the samples are divided into two sub-samples using a newly developed partially heterogeneous framework. For empirical estimations, we have used four models that deal with the homogeneous-heterogeneous slope with static-dynamic model specifications. Mainly, new estimation methods are used for dynamic models considering both heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. Empirical results show economic growth is a steady factor that decreases energy intensity. Urbanization and industrialization have a significant and positive relationship with energy intensity, which illustrates that higher urbanization impacts negatively on energy intensity. The influence of foreign direct investment is negative. Moreover, these findings vary across different model specifications and samples. The heterogeneous effects suggest regional specific policies across the provinces.

Innovation and globalization fosters a tendency towards multiparty collaboration and strategic contacts among nations. A similar path was followed by the Chinese administration in 2013, with its “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI). The most important objective of the present fact-finding study was to demonstrate the links between economic growth, energy consumption, urbanization, gross fixed capital formation, trade openness, financial development and carbon emissions (ecological degradation) from a panel of 47 BRI economies, over a time span of 1980 to 2016. Dynamic panel estimations (dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) and fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS)) were engaged to examine the long-run links between the subjected variables. Synchronized outcomes for the full panel show that energy consumption, gross fixed capital formation, economic growth, financial development, and urbanization unfavorably led to environmental degradation (CO2 emissions). However, trade openness is negatively correlated with emissions. Furthermore, pairwise panel Granger causative estimations justified bi-directional links from all regressors towards CO2 emissions, except for trade openness, which had unidirectional ties with environmental quality. In cross-country, long-run assessments, different results were found, with CO2 emissions being greatly increased by economic growth in all countries and energy consumption in 30 countries; other predictors testified to some mixed interactions with CO2 emissions in the country-level examination. The reported investigation provides some noteworthy guiding principles and policy inferences aimed at governments and ecological supervisory administrations, suggesting assertive moves towards truncated used of carbon fossil fuels and dependency on renewable energy, establishing waste and water treatment plants, familiarizing themselves with the concept of a green economy, and making the general public aware of eco-friendly investments in BRI economies.

The study investigates the impact of oil prices on firm-level stock returns in case of Pakistan over the period 1998–2014, as this relationship is neglected by the previous literature. By using the panel data estimation, the results of full sample indicate significant positive effect of oil price changes on firm stock returns in the same period, whereas the lagged oil price changes have significant negative effect on firms’ stock return. Moreover, the industry-level analysis also confirms the similar findings; results indicate significant positive impact of oil price on firms’ stock return in full sample, textile, chemical and miscellaneous industry, while the lagged oil price changes negatively affect the stock returns of full sample and all the industries except tobacco, jute and vanaspati industries. The study confirms that rise in oil price transfers a positive signal in the stock market that boosts the firm-level stock returns in Pakistan. In contrast to the negative shocks, the stock returns are significantly affected by the positive oil price shocks.
