Making development sustainable in the long run is the goal of policy makers of countries all over the world. To attain such a goal, countries have to face the dynamics of pollution-income interactions in both the short and long run, which are observed along the well-known Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). In the short run stage of the EKC, rising income and rising health expenditure may lead to rising pollution, while in the long run, as pollution continues, health expenditures increase, besides conservation of capital investment. The former is a common phenomenon in developing economies and the latter in the developed economies. Hence, there are both theoretical and empirical questions on whether health expenditures are caused by environmental pollution or not. The present study has attempted to investigate the issue from the theoretical point of view, through the endogenous growth framework, and by considering empirical observations for the world’s top 20 polluting countries for the period 1991–2019. The results show that per capita health expenditure and per capita pollution are cointegrated in the majority of the countries. However, in the short run, pollution is the cause of health expenditures for many developed countries in the list, and health expenditures are the cause of pollution in some of the developing countries. The results justify the claim of the endogenous growth model incorporating pollution and health expenditure.

Rapid urbanization is being increasingly recognized as a significant factor of environmental pollution across the world. However, the significance of sustainable urbanization in controlling both pollution and population remains either limited in scope, in the case of developed countries, or less researched, in the case of developing nations. To fill this gap, the present study employed both theoretical and empirical tools to investigate the significant link between sustainable urbanization, pollution and non-agricultural output. In order to empirically examine the supposed link among the key variables mentioned above, the present study considered a panel of the world’s top 20 polluting countries for the 1991–2018 period, which significantly includes both developed and developing nations. Panel vector error correction model and panel co-integration techniques were employed to derive the possible correlation between the variables through sustainable urbanization. Empirical findings show an absence of equilibrium relations among the three variables in the panel of developed countries. However, the study clearly finds that all the three indicators maintain long-run associations for the panel of developing countries. Furthermore, in the short run, the results determine unambiguously that there are significant causal interplays between any two sets of variables and the remaining one variable for both the panel data of developed and developing countries. On the other hand, short-run interplays among the variables we considered exist for both developed and developing economies. From the perspective of policy formulation, the present study shows that policy makers from both the developed and developing nations should be cautious before encouraging urbanization, at least in the short term. However, the combined effects in the short and long term suggest policy makers should be more careful before encouraging urbanization in developing economies.

Upholding sustainability in the use of energies for the increasing global industrial activity has been one of the priority agendas of the global leaders of the West and East. The projection of different GHGs has thus been the important policy agenda of the economies to justify the positions of their own as well as of others. Methane is one of the important components of GHGs, and its main sources of generation are the agriculture and livestock activities. Global diplomacy regarding the curtailment of the GHGs has set the target of reducing the levels of GHGs time to time, but the ground reality regarding the reduction is far away from the targets. Sometimes, the targets are fixed without the application of scientific methods. The aim of the present study is to examine sustainability of energy systems through the forecasting of the methane emission and agricultural output of the world’s different income groups up to 2030 using the data for the period 1981–2012. The work is novel in two senses: the existing studies did not use both the Box–Jenkins and artificial neural network methods, and the present study covers all the major economic groups in the world which is unlike to any existing studies. Two methods are used for forecasting of the two. One is the Box–Jenkins method, where linear nature of the two variables is considered and the other is artificial neural network methods where nonlinear nature of the variables is also considered. The results show that, except the OECD group, all the remaining groups display increasing trends of methane emission, but unquestionably, all the groups display increasing trends of agricultural output, where middle- and upper middle-income groups hold the upper berths. The forecasted emission is justified to be sustainable in major groups under both methods of estimations since overall growth of agricultural output is greater than that of methane emission.

It has been an established fact that R&D activities and international trade is correlated but the directions of causal interplays between them have not yet been unambiguously established. Most of the theoretical and empirical studies revealed that trade liberalization led to R&D expansion but not the reverse. But empirically, it may happen that R&D activity may cause more trade associations. Under this juncture, the present study aims to examine the long-run associations and short-run dynamics between trade indicator, share of net FDI inflow to GDP, and R&D intensity for the leading countries and groups and their panels in R&D spending. By developing a theoretical model, the study makes empirical verifications such as cointegration, error correction, and Granger causality tests for the individual countries and groups and then compared the results by taking dynamic panel of the countries and groups. The results reveal that R&D and FDI are unambiguously cointegrated and thus have long-run equilibrium relations in the panel data format unlike the situations of individual country and groups. Further, for the short run, the panel study reveals both way causal relations between the two variables. It is thus suggested that policy and lawmakers should implement plans such as increase in research fund in R&D through public–private partnership, ease on patent system, etc., to welcome FDI.

The devastating spread of the novel coronavirus, named COVID-19, starting its journey from Wuhan Province of China on January 21st, 2020, has now threatened lives of almost all the countries of the world in different magnitudes. Mostly the developed countries have been hit hard, besides the emerging countries like China, India and Brazil. The scientists and the policy makers are in dark with respect to its spread and claiming lives in coming days. The present study aims to forecast the number of incidences in severely affected seven countries, USA, UK, Italy, Spain, France, China and India, for the period July 12-Septmeber 11, 2020 and compares the forecasted values with the actual values to judge its depth of severity and growth. The study uses Box-Jenkins method of forecasting in an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) structure on the basis of the daily data published by World Health Organization from January 21st to July 11, 2020. It is observed that USA and India are the two countries whose increasing trends will continue in the forecasted period (July 12 to September 11), others except China will face lower number of incidences. China's incidence has come to halt around 80000 in numbers. The growth rates of the number of incidences for all the countries during the forecasted period will be diminishing. The mean difference test results between the forecasted and actual values in level and growth forms show that in the former case, USA, India, UK will face increasing forecast than the actual number but in the latter case, all of the countries will face significantly decreasing growth rates in the forecasted values compared to their actual growth values.

In a globalized world, the financial sectors and the real sectors are interlinked. Although it is a common phenomenon to a developed economy in its national as well as provincial levels, it has hardly been tested for the low-income countries like India. It is further difficult to have such linkage effects at the provinces and district levels. This article aims to examine whether per capita commercial bank credit and per capita net district domestic product for the districts of West Bengal state in India have long-run associations for the period 1993–2014 in a panel data framework. Using the panel cointegration and Vector error correction mechanism (VECM) technique, the study reveals that both the financial and real sector indicators are cointegrated and the short-run errors are corrected significantly to establish that there is bilateral causality between credit and output in both long run and short run.

Spending upon different social sectors from the government’s exchequer has been one of the priority agendas of any country or province since it affects growth and human development. In this juncture, this study investigates the linkages between social sector’s spending and HDI in individual as well as panel of states in India for the period 1995–2016. Using cointegration, causality and error correction mechanism for the individual and panel of states, the study observes that there are long-run relations between the two for a small number of states but no one produces error correction results. Most of the states in the North Eastern Region produce bilateral causality between two. Further, the panel data results through VECM show that both the indicators have long-run associations but errors are not again corrected. However, all the past values of the two indicators make a cause to each other in the panel framework.

The study examines the interplays between R&D-GDP ratio and levels, and growth of per capita GDP of top ten countries in R&D expenditure and economies of different groups in both long and short runs during 1996–2017. The results show that R&D expenditure and per capita GDP growth rates have long-run associations for high-income and upper-middle-income groups along with Japan, Germany, South Korea, France, UK, India, and Brazil, and errors are corrected for all. Further, per capita GDP growth is the cause of R&D for OECD, upper-middle-, and low- and middle-income groups along with Japan, and R&D is the cause to per capita GDP for India, Russia, and Brazil. Finally, there is bilateral causality between the two for USA, China, and South Korea. Interestingly, there are no true long-run associations between R&D and per capita GDP, although some short-run interplays are there. Hence, the study prescribes that excessive spending in R&D at the cost of other sectors needs to be reviewed.

Maintaining equitable distribution of income is one of the priority agendas to any policy maker in a country or at the global level. It is not an exception to India as well as to its states and regions. The existing literature shows that Indian states are diverging in incomes particularly after the major reform programmes initiated in 1991–1992. Many factors contribute to the income divergence of the country. The present study throws light a bit deeper towards the grass root level and examines whether the districts of West Bengal are converging in terms of allocation of commercial bank credits for the period 1980–2014. Applying the neoclassical growth and panel unit root test methodology, the study reveals that the districts are not catching up to a common steady state level of per capita credit but they are conditionally converging to the credit of Calcutta, the top district, and to the average credit per capita of the district. The sigma convergence result shows that the districts are significantly diverging if Calcutta is restored in the group.

Although the countries in the present world are staying away from formal wars like that of the First and the Second World Wars, still there has been persistence of informal wars among countries. The countries are now observed to be investing upon defence items in a larger way. The so-called backward countries are coming in a strong way in terms of increasing defence outlays and trying to catch up with the advanced countries in possessing military items. The present article, thus, tries to study whether the countries are converging in terms of per capita military expenses across a selection of 45 countries for the period 1988–2013. It reveals that there are absolute β and σ convergence among the countries with Kuwait and South Africa as outlier countries. It also observes conditional β convergence among the countries with various resources, particularly, crude oil production, regional dummies and time trend as significant conditional variables.

Proper working of forward and backward linkages between the public and private investments in the face of balanced development of an economy is an already established fact in the literature of development economics.The present article is aimed at examining the working of these two linkage effects upon the economies of 24 countries in different economic status: whether public capital is more productive than private capital and finally to test whether public investments crowd-in or crowd-out the private investments for the period 1988–2013. The results show that, for the entire period, forward linkage has worked for Spain, Senegal and Ecuador and backward linkages worked for United States of America, United Kingdom, Thailand, South Africa, Nigeria, Cambodia, Rwanda and Paraguay. Both forward and backward linkages have happened for Ireland, China, India, Brazil and Peru. For the second objective, the numbers of instances of the income-generative capacities of both types of investments are a few in the entire as well pre-crisis phases unlike that of the post-crisis phase. And the results of the third objective show that there are the maximum instances in favour of crowding-in effects from either private to public or from public to private in all the time phases and a few instances in crowding-out effects.

Households' consumption expenditure becomes an important determinant of GDP of a country, particularly when the economy is struck by depression with low levels of private and public investments. So maintaining growth of this head of expenditure over time becomes the crucial agenda of the policy makers all over the world. The present chapter tries to analyze whether the developing countries' levels of households' consumption expenditure are converging to the ones in the developed countries during 1980-2013 in the sample of 40 countries. The study reveals that there is no significant absolute ß and s convergence among either in the cross section or in pooling of the data during the given period. But population growth factor is making the countries converge significantly in conditional sense. By separating the entire data we observe that, for the entire period, the developed countries are significantly converging in absolute sense while the developing countries are not, although there are mixed results in s convergence.

The Indian economy has undergone different structural shifting in its history of development since 1947. One major break was the liberalization of the economy in the period 1991-92 and the reforms in the banking and financial sectors deserved a special attention in the study. The banking sector reform was done under the intention to make more investible banking funds for real investment to raise credit-deposit ratio along with proper allocation of banking funds to all the states so that share of credit of each state is balanced. Literature shows the falling tendency of credit-deposit ratio in the immediate decade after the reform and the rising tendency of divergence in credit possession among the states. At the same time, the states lacking in credit-deposit ratio are either with higher, lower, or moderate shares of credits. This study, hence, tried to examine the direction of causalities between credit-deposit ratio and credit share for the major 16 states of India. Using the time series econometrics technique, this study found 4 states where the causality works for the entire period and less than half of the state where causality works in either pre-reform or post-reform periods.
