The use of renewable energy sources and carbon emissions has been debated from various perspectives throughout recent decades. However, the causal relationship between green energy sources and carbon emissions volatility has received limited attention. This study aims to close a knowledge gap in this area. The current study analyzes the renewable energy sources (wind, hydro, and geothermal) and carbon emissions of four ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines) between 2000 and 2019. The present study combined Chudik and Pesaran’s (2015) newly developed Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) with cutting-edge investigation tools such as first- and second-generation unit root tests; CS-dependence; Variance inflation factor test for multicollinearity; and Pedroni, Kao, and Wester Lund tests of co-integration. The Granger causality test is also used to check the short-term and long-term causal effects within the renewable energy sources and green energy sources, and carbon volatility. According to the empirical results, green energy sources make a positive and vital contribution to reducing carbon emissions growth in the above-noted ASEAN economies. Furthermore, short- and long-run causality runs from green energy sources to carbon emission volatility in the region. A significant causality relationship has also been observed within the green energy sources of ASEAN.

Developing economies are suffering to fulfill the sustainable environment’s commitments in fiscal imbalance. This study attempted to highlight the core issue of fiscal imbalance in developing economies and its impact on a sustainable environment. For this purpose, the study utilized generalized least squares (GLS) and quantile autoregressive distributive lag (QARDL) on a 19-year dataset (2000–2018) of the South Asian region. The results of GLS indicate that fiscal imbalance contributing positively to South Asia’s environmental degradation process. Here, energy consumption (due to dirty sources of energy) and energy intensity (due to inefficient energy conversion technology) are also sources of environmental degradation in this region. The results of QARDL confirm that economic and political fluctuations can be the long-run source of fiscal imbalance in this region, which ultimately slows down the process of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) theory and contributes positively to environmental degradation. Based on the empirical analysis, this study provides a comprehensive set of policy guidance for developing and developed economies for the smooth transition of sustainable environmental conditions in South Asia.

This study aims to measure social welfare and poverty reduction through efficient use of energy and reduction in CO2 emissions. For this purpose, this study applies mathematical multi-system programming using selected European countries’ data between 2014 and 2018. The outcomes of empirical findings show that Norway, Switzerland, and Poland are highly efficient in energy usage. Norway and Switzerland are also among the most energy-efficient countries, which have lessened CO2 emissions in Europe. These European countries have become energy efficient; thus, they have improved social welfare by improving environmental quality and reducing poverty. According to our findings, there is a significant and positive relationship between social welfare and energy efficiency in Europe. Therefore, European nations have an opportunity to reduce poverty, improving people’s lives, provide good health, create more jobs, and preserve the natural environment through energy efficiency. Moreover, this study’s outcomes may serve as a beacon house light for reducing poverty and improving the quality of social welfare indicators in developing Asia by following the trajectory of energy efficiency.

During the time before the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are achieved, the international community has set goals to improve people’s lives worldwide. This is in line with the United Nations’ 2030 ambitions to strengthen and advance human society’s sustainable development. Goal number 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), goal number 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and goal number 13 (Climate Action) are highly correlated to each other. The current study investigates the role of human capital and technological innovation in achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) through a carbon-free energy system. A 19-year dataset covering the years 2000−2018 for the G7 economies has been utilized by using the composite index, Multi-criteria decision analysis, and Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (QARDL) methods. The study’s outcomes indicate that the human capital index and technological innovations contribute positively to SDGs in G7 economies. Both indicators also contribute positively to the carbon-free economy by contributing to carbon-free energy sources. The financial index and energy index results also indicate a positive association with the carbon-free economy in G7 nations. This study suggests policy guidelines for developed as well as for developing economies based on human capital and technological innovation to fulfill the SDGs.

The relationship among economic growth, energy, and the environment is very complex and sensitive, demanding a comprehensive set of policies. This study examines the role of clean technological innovation in attaining win-win conditions for the involved sectors, along with some other macroeconomic variables. For this purpose, the five main indices used are the energy index, financial index, human index, fiscal index, and environmental index of vital macroeconomic indicators developed for G-7 countries. We employ the recently developed quantile autoregressive distributed lag (QARDL) model to assess clean technological innovation's impact on economic and environmental conditions along with other indicators for the 2008–2018 period. According to the results, the energy index, which consists of research and development (R&D) in clean technological innovation in energy and renewable energy, has a significant and negative impact on greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions and has a positive and significant impact on economic growth. This study is pioneering in its nature, finding that productive expenditures on R&D for clean technological innovation can simultaneously enhance economic growth and improve environmental conditions. Based on empirical outcomes, this study suggests advanced policies to enhance economic growth without compromising environmental conditions in G-7 countries.

Energy is the key factor in economic growth and reforms are a means to improve energy efficiency, reduce its intensity, and decrease its per-unit cost. Therefore, the role of energy reforms has increased significantly after globalization, which directly affects local industries due to inefficiencies in their production, to the ultimate detriment of local consumers. To understand the impact of energy reforms on energy efficiency, this study used a dataset collected from forty-eight countries in five different regions. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the difference-in-difference (DID) method were used to view the impact of energy reforms. According to the DEA results, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Singapore perform poorly in the improvement of energy efficiency due to reforms, while Uzbekistan is the lowest performing country in this regard. The DID results show that Sub-Saharan Africa has seen improved performance after implementing energy reform in the region. These outcomes confirm that energy reform can be a good means to achieve a high level of energy efficiency and reduce the per-unit energy cost. The results show a 13.2% improvement in energy efficiency after electricity reforms. Based on the empirical results, this study identifies certain policy implications.

Formulating a robust low-carbon strategy has now been critical to achieving sustainable economic development amid broad carbon emissions across the BRIC region thanks to rapid industrialization and international trade growth. Developing such a strategy requires measuring actual sustainability performance from the energy, economy and ecological perspectives in this region. Therefore, this study explores the relationship among BRIC countries’ energy, economic and environmental sustainability performance by applying a common weight data envelopment analysis (DEA)-like composite indicator approach. The indicators encompass a comprehensive, latest, appropriate and applicable set of indicators. The results reveal that China and Brazil outperform against other underlined countries of the region in achieving sustainability with an overall index score of 0.96. India stands in ranking on second with a steady and unchanged score in the region, followed by South Africa and Russia, standing in ranking on fourth and fifth, respectively, in this study. Inclusive scores of both countries indicate the actual and robust possible potential for better sustainability performances in the region. This study proposes a policy by lifting the cross-border trade for renewable energy to achieve long-term environmental sustainability in the BRICS region.

This work highlights the impact of renewable and non-renewable energy, capital formation, and economic growth on CO2 emissions in the economies that are emerging due to China’s Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) initiative. In this context, data for 24 SREB economies from 1995 to 2014 are analyzed through the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The results suggest that using a high share of renewable energy to execute economic activities and improve the level of capital formation significantly decreases the rate of CO2 emissions in both the long term and short term in the considered SREB countries. The presence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve and the existence of an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions are also determined. The negative impact of Gross Capital Formation (GCF) and the negligible effects of trade openness on CO2 discharge are also observed. The negative effect of GCF on carbon emissions suggests either that the SREB economies are investing in low-carbon economic activities or simply that those assets are being produced using cleaner energy sources. It is suggested that these countries should pay more attention to renewable energy resources to improve the environment and maximize the economic benefits of the SREB initiative.

This study evaluates the sustainable power plant cost in the outlook of global power plant efficiency to reduce fossil fuel dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. For this purpose, the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) applied for conducting the cost assessment of power zone technologies for all principal electricity generation. This study considers the characteristics of essential factors (cement, price of resources, possible increases in employees, and metals) that affect costs. This study suggests that the cost of electricity-generating technologies significantly affects growth efficiency, reduction in production cost, and improving environmental conditions. It also suggests that the cost of electricity-generating technologies, combined with technology mixture, is the key factor behind replacing existing technology in the electricity sector. EPRI cost assessments expanded by around 30% and 50% during 2015-2016. Factors like competition amongst power plant owners, the ambiguous marketplace, production procedures, and lack of environment-related strategies have resulted in massive environmental degradation in developing economies like Pakistan. Based on empirical findings, this study recommends designing efficient technologies, which would reduce power plant costs and ensure vertical prospects related to environmental conditions in the future.

The unconventional energy sources like hydrogen energy have tremendous potential of filling the gap between economic growth and clean energy consumption. A little intention has been made in this regard in the developing economies like Pakistan. This study develops a fusibility analysis to highlight the potential of hydrogen energy source in Pakistan. For this purpose, this study used a hybrid mathematical model that combines the range of wind speed with the log law to push wind power’s potential to generate wind hydrogen in Pakistan. The study results indicate that Pakistan has an excellent source to generate hydrogen energy through wind power stations. According to the outcomes, Nooriabad can produce 303.66 million RE/kWh per year through wind energy sources. According to the results, the rest of the seven wind generation sites also can generate enough hydrogen energy. This study also concluded that hydrogen energy has enough sources to meet the demand for light-duty vehicles in Pakistan.

Energy consumption and its efficiency are significant factors for economic growth and environmental stress. This study postulates the occurrence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis (EKC) by using the Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Furthermore, a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model is used to measure energy efficiency, energy intensity, and environment to view the trajectory of EKC for the underline economies. For this purpose, a panel dataset from 1990–2013 of 15 developing countries is analyzed to verify the objectives mentioned above. The results of the panel ARDL support EKC’s theory for underline economies, as GDP positively impacts carbon emissions, while the square of GDP is negatively related. The DEA-based results found relatively low environmental conditions in these emerging economies due to high energy intensity and low energy efficiency. This outcome suggests that renewable energy sources must be treated as an essential factor for achieving sustainable economic goals without environmental degradation.

In the contemporary and perpetually changing environment, firms have transformed their business models by integrating advanced digital technologies in which their capabilities contribute crucially. This has evoked competition and challenges especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Therefore, the research aimed to analyze the mediating effect of information technology (IT) capability between digital business strategy and firms’ efficiency. The case of Chinese SMEs was considered specifically. The research was quantitative; therefore, the sample comprised 351 participants accumulated using a survey questionnaire. The mediating effect was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) where partial mediation of the IT capability was found only in terms of IT proactive stance. Therefore, the research has certain managerial implications specifically in terms of proactive stance as the managers need to initiate the transformation within for efficient performance.

This study determines the role of natural resources’ utilization, foreign direct investment (FDI), and fossil fuel consumption in economic growth by utilizing panel data of 25 developing Asian countries from the period 1996 to 2016. Pool Mean Group (PMG) regression is used for this purpose, and the results show that the rent received from forests has a sizeable share in the economic growth of developing Asian Countries. The study shows that an increase in FDI is stimulating economic growth in developing countries. However, although the utilization of natural resources has a positive impact on economic growth, the results show a statistically insignificant role of natural resources in improving economic growth. Finally, the results show that the rent obtained from forest resources, mineral resources, and oil extraction makes a significant contribution to economic growth. The findings highlight that FDI and the rent received from the pool of natural resources are significant contributors to economic growth, as they are both helping to develop industrialization in the nations concerned and improve the level of per capita income. However, the findings also suggest that there is a need to consider the limited availability of natural resources and to deal with this situation by (a) developing policies that can ensure the efficient use of such rent received from the natural resources by importing advanced technologies from developed nations and (b) using the rents from natural resources to promote the business environment and attract FDI in developing countries.

This study aims to examine the impact of financial development on agricultural production in the case of China. The study used country level time‐series data for the period 1989 to 2016. We applied the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to investigate the long‐term cointegration relationship between underlying variables and the fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) for robustness check. Results of this study confirm the existence of a long‐term relationship among the variables. The ARDL estimation results reveal that financial development has a significantly positive impact on agricultural production in both long‐run and short‐run. The fully modified OLS confirm the robustness of the findings. This study suggests that the Chinese government should pay more attention on long‐run policies to enhance agricultural growth through improving banking sectors, efficient rural credit markets, and increasing township banking infrastructures in the country.

Economic growth is a prerequisite for development while energy is the engine for growth process. In the era of globalization, production cost heavily dependent on energy intensity and efficiency with keeping environmental conditions intact. Therefore, the structuring of a significant environmental index is pre-requisition of the world with energy intensity, energy efficiency. For this objective, this study employs 18-years data set between 2000 and 2018 of Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to form a universal aspect of economics, environmental index, and energy efficiency (EEE). The data envelopment analysis (DEA) and arithmetic mean aggregation in the formation of mathematical aggregation mechanisms are applied for empirical analysis. According to the results, Iceland maintained an overall high rank regarding energy efficiency, energy intensity, and environment followed by Greece, New Zeeland, and Norway. In this investigation, Ireland followed by the UK and the USA are the lowest performer regarding energy and environment. Thus, the study concludes that energy (efficiency & intensity) and environment hold complex relations and needs a special set of policies to address them collectively and it is expected that this study can be used as valuable information for the policymaking process.

Economic integration in the form of Belt and Road Initiative project opens many opportunities and hazards, especially of the participating nations’ environment. The current study attempted to empirically test the economic and energy usage (renewable and non-renewable) impact on some selected countries of belt and road projects. For this purpose, the panel data set of twenty-four emerging economies of belt and road projects was selected from 1995 to 2014. The autoregressive distributed lags technique of econometric applied to determine the effect of renewable and non-renewable energy, GDP and GDP2 for EKC, and gross fixed capital formation on carbon emission in the selected countries of Belt and Road Initiative project. The outcomes of this study confirm the existence of EKC in these underlined countries. Here, fossil fuel-based energy consumption is a source of environmental degradation, while renewable and clean energy usage can help sustain environmental conditions without affecting economic growth progress. Capital fixed formation in these economies can enhance economic growth and help to sustainable environmental conditions in the belt and road countries. Thus, based on these empirical outcomes, this study suggests economic and financial assistance in green renewable energy sources and clean technological innovation to enhance economic benefits of Belt and Road Initiative project without compromising the environmental conditions of the region.

Climate change challenges associated with global warming are an increasing concern for developing countries. Pakistan is experiencing severe energy crises, and global warming effects have considerably changed its climate, especially the temperature, which has risen significantly. Renewable energy is uninterrupted, clean, and strengthens energy security. This study employed a linear programming model to assess the potential of renewable hydrogen power and its impact on electricity prices, measured the possible demand of wind-generated renewable hydrogen for light-duty vehicles. The findings demonstrate that Pakistan has sufficient wind-generated renewable power potential, and its light-duty vehicles could shift to renewable energy. The findings of this research recommend a policy shift to light-duty hydrogen-based vehicles to eliminate fossil fuel imports and ensure green supplies. With a shift to hydrogen-based vehicles, the government could ensure maximum revenue and green supplies. The study provides valuable guidelines for decision-makers.

Measurement of accounting information under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) plays an important role in the determination of earnings timeliness information and investor's decision making. This study assessed the compulsory acceptance of IFRS adoption. The study also measures the efficiency of Pakistani banking sector. We employed data envelopment analysis, SVAR and regression methods to measure Pakistani banks efficiency. The results show that the mandatory adoption of IFRS has increased earnings timeliness of information in all banks. The assessment of cumulative effect on banks by incorporating single weighted index value (ET index) reveals that IFRS increased timely profit and loss realization of banks. Comparatively the bank‐wise estimation of earning timeliness indices shows that IFRS does not shows a significant impact on earnings timeliness of commercial and specialized banks. Finally, the evaluation of IFRS policy shocks shows that earnings timeliness and stock returns are positively responding to change in reporting policy. Furthermore, we anticipate policy change to overcome the gap between asymmetrical earnings exposure and value relevancy of investors decision.
