Advancing a low-carbon future: Impacts of renewable energy, finance, and natural resources on consumption-based carbon in emerging markets
Economies around the world are currently facing the significant challenge of balancing economic growth with ecological sustainability. While this is a global issue, emerging economies, because of their substantial environmental, demographic, and economic influence, deserve urgent attention. In light of the above, this study examines the factors shaping environmental sustainability (proxied by consumption-based carbon emissions) in emerging seven …
Unpacking the finance-energy-environment nexus: Can Africa sustain agricultural productivity amid energy poverty and environmental degradation
Achieving resilient and sustainable agricultural productivity is essential for food security, economic transformation and rural livelihoods across Africa. This study estimated the role of energy poverty, financial development and environmental degradation in shaping agricultural productivity across 34 sub-Saharan African countries between 2005 and 2020. In spite of the growing interest on individual drivers, no research has jointly assessed these…
Women's Empowerment, Governance, and the Economics of Clean Cooking Transitions in Africa
Over the past few decades, the global economy, particularly in developing nations, has persistently grappled with rising dependence on conventional energy resources, thus rendering the realization of Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 7 (SDGs 5 and 7) an elusive aspiration for the international community. This study bridges a notable void in scholarly discourse by assessing the effects of gender inclusion and governance quality on access to clea…
Pathways to environmental sustainability: Exploring the role of FinTech, natural resources and globalization in North Africa
In recent years, financial technology (FinTech), natural resources, and globalization have gained prominence as key factors influencing environmental sustainability. However, there is a lack of research on their impact on the Load Capacity Factor (LCF) within the framework of the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypothesis, particularly in the North African region. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the heterogeneous effects of FinTech, natural r…
Policy Pathways to Environmental Sustainability: Integrating Green Growth, ICT and Resource Endowment in Emerging Economies
Amid accelerating digital transformation and the global pursuit of sustainability, understanding how technology, resource use and green growth (GG) interact to shape environmental outcomes has become increasingly vital. This study applies Hansen's threshold regression covering the period 1990–2023 to capture nonlinear and regime‐dependent dynamics within an extended STIRPAT framework. The results reveal that population and economic growth intensi…
Mitigating the Next Pandemic: An Assessment of Macroeconomic Resilience and Social Vulnerability in Sub-Saharan Africa
Mindful of the dismal macroeconomic position and welfare performance of most countries in the Sub-Saharan African (SSA) region, this study sets out to investigate the nexus between macroeconomic resilience and social vulnerability in the wake of the COVID-19-induced global economic meltdown. The study adopted a panel data analysis technique via the panel vector autoregression (PVAR) approach alongside other econometric tests. The study revealed t…
Does public debt matter for human capital development? Evidence from Nigeria
An inquiry into the impact of external and domestic borrowings is considered timely for Nigeria, given the growing public debt profile amid deteriorating human capital development. Using data from 1990 to 2021, the study estimates the effects of domestic and external debts on Nigeria's human capital development. The study employed the fully modified ordinary least squares and canonical cointegration regression as the main estimation technique and…
Balancing the scales: Does public debt and energy poverty mitigate or exacerbate ecological distortions in Nigeria
Amid Nigeria's economic growth and energy challenges, the escalating public debt (PB) levels and persistent energy poverty (EP) raise critical questions about their potential impacts on the environment. Given the potential conflict among economic development, EP alleviation and ecological conservation, it becomes pertinent to understand whether increased PB and efforts to address EP inadvertently contribute to or alleviate ecological imbalances w…
Fiscal Incentives and Tax Compliance Behaviour in Industrial Clusters: A Survey of Clusters in South-east Nigeria
The study investigates the impact of fiscal incentives on the tax compliance behavior of firms in industrial clusters in Nigeria. Data from 800 firms drawn from three industrial clusters in South-East Nigeria were collected using a structured questionnaire through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Descriptive statistics and the logistic regression model were applied to estimate the survey responses. The major findings of the study show that regul…
Energy poverty, environmental degradation and agricultural productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa
Agricultural productivity remains pivotal to the sustenance of the economies and livelihoods of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. Given the emerging threat of energy and environmental uncertainties globally, this study makes a foray into understanding the link among energy poverty, environmental degradation and agricultural productivity in 35 SSA nations in particular, and the nature of their impacts across the sub-region constituents namely; t…
