Circular Economy Transition
This study is to examine the resources and capabilities that facilitate the circular economy practices (CIECs) in manufacturing firms in Malaysia. It explores the impact of Industry 4.0 (IR4.0) on CIEC and examines the role of open innovation (OPIN) and firms' absorptive capacity (FACA). The data were collected from 231 managers at multi‐levels from large‐scale manufacturing firms across 10 different sectors in Malaysia. Our findings from PLS‐SEM…

Assessing the EKC Hypothesis and the Impact of Environmental and Non-Environmental Goods Trade on Environmental Quality
This study examines the impact of environmental and non-environmental goods trade on environmental quality in OECD countries over the period 1995 to 2021. Using the Quantile Regression for Panel Data (QRPD) method, the analysis explores how these two types of trade influence the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) across countries with varying levels of environmental quality. The key explanatory variables include trade in environmental goods, t…
Temperature fluctuations, climate uncertainty, and financing hindrance
Undesirable temperature fluctuations pose significant financial risks for enterprises. By merging fine‐grained meteorological data with a panel of publicly listed firms, we delve into the relationship between temperature volatility and financing constraints. Our analysis reveals a positive correlation between temperature fluctuations and increasingly stringent financing limitations. State‐owned or large‐scale enterprises endowed with greater reso…

The economic growth–travel frequency nexus in China
This study pioneers the analysis of transport Kuznets curve (TKC) for passengers in 31 Chinese provinces using data from 1980 to 2018 and a comprehensive non‐parametric econometric analysis approach. The empirical analysis finds convergence among most of the provinces in terms of travel frequency and economic growth, as well as the nexus between the variables. There is a non‐linear positive effect of economic growth on travel frequency in all 31 …

Pathways to China's carbon neutrality and clean energy transition
This study highlights the ongoing debate surrounding China's slow low-carbon transition despite a rapid shift towards clean energy. However, this debate is crucial for finding pathways to China's pledge to carbon neutrality. Using Auto-Regression Distributed Lag model over the time series data spanning 1990–2020, study attempts to add to the literature by exploring the nexus betwixt environmental regulations, renewable energy transition, and carb…
Nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in G7 countries
This study aims to revisit the evidence of co-movement and lead-lag nexus between carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth in G7 countries over a period of two centuries by using the wavelet coherence analysis. The key findings reveal (i) a cyclical relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and GDP per capita, which implies that during the upswing phase of business cycles, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions both grow, but the la…

Catalysts for sustainable energy transitions
The shift towards environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources has become crucial due to global warming and increasing environmental concerns. To facilitate this transition, policymakers need to understand the factors that influence it. Thus, this study examined the role of financial development, green technological innovations, and environmental taxes on energy transitions in the case of Europe nations by utilizing the data from 1995 …
Revisiting Friends & Foes
As a frontline ally, Pakistan shares a long history of fighting with the CIA since the Soviet invasion. The CIA, ISI, and Mujahedeen nexus weaponised the region. Punishing preparators and beneficiaries of 9/11 led the U.S. to initiate a “war on terror”. Pakistan faced human, financial, and security losses. It also demoralised democracy in Pakistan. The research proposes that Pakistan brought destruction to itself by choosing a side in global powe…
Unveiling the complexities of sustainable development
To achieve Sustainable Development Goals, countries face the challenge of expanding economic activities while mitigating pollution. Using the panel autoregressive distributed lag and panel non‐linear autoregressive distributed lag approach, this study investigates the effects of globalization, economic development, human development, industrialization, non‐renewable energy, and population density on the carbon emissions (CO 2 ) of 64 countries. T…

Environmental cost of natural resources utilization and economic growth
This study aims to investigate the relationship between CO 2 emissions in China and its prospective determinants, namely economic growth, globalization, financial development, and natural resources during the period from 1980 to 2017. We present more detailed analyses across multiple econometric approaches within a multivariate system, e.g., the Bayer‐Hanck combined cointegration approach, the ARDL bounds test approach, ARDL estimates in short ru…

Sustainable tourism development and globalization
Our study explores the relationship between tourism and globalization (both overall, and in terms of three sub‐indices, namely economic, social, and political globalization) in the United States (US) using monthly data from January 1995 to December 2017. We employ the quantile‐on‐quantile (QQ) regression technique for our analysis. The sample period of the present study allows the separate examination of the relationship between globalization and…

Moving toward carbon neutrality
Natural gas import security has been a hot issue, and its environmental effects remain unsettled. In the context of carbon neutrality, this study aims to investigate the nexus between natural gas import security and CO 2 emissions. For this purpose, we propose an effective composite index to measure the natural gas import security levels of 30 countries over the period 2004–2019. Then we construct a dynamic panel data model to estimate the impact…

Does Nominal Devaluation Improve Income Distribution? Evidence from Bangladesh
The article aims to investigate the impact of nominal devaluation on income distribution in Bangladesh both in short and long runs. In doing so, Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing has been employed for cointegration, and Error Correction Model (ECM) has been used for short-run dynamics. The empirical psychology has confirmed the existence of long-run relationship between the variables. Furthermore our estimated results reveal t…
Military Spending and Economic Growth in Pakistan
Purpose: This paper re-investigates causality between military spending and economic growth by applying autoregressive distributed lag model or ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration. Furthermore, rolling window approach (RWA) to cointegration is also applied to confirm the established long run relation between the variables. The VECM Granger causality is used to detect the direction of causality between military spending and economic grow…
