The Impact of FinTech on Environmental Sustainability
This study seeks to offer fresh evidence on the relationship between FinTech development and environmental sustainability. Traditional approaches that measure welfare solely through economic indicators often overlook environmental costs, underscoring the need for a more comprehensive and inclusive evaluation framework. Accordingly, this work examines the outcome of FinTech on environmental degradation using a panel dataset covering 20 countries f…
Revisiting the Growth–Forest Sustainability Nexus in India
Understanding whether the interaction between economic activity and forest ecosystems manifests as conflict or synergy is central to designing effective, sustainable development policies. Although the environmental Kuznets curve framework is frequently utilized to explain this relationship, its analytical scope remains limited, as it conceptualizes environmental sustainability predominantly through demand‐side indicators. The forest load capacity…
The Political and Socio‐Economic Foundations of the Circular Economy
Is the circular economy merely a technical issue independent of political factors? This study moves beyond the technical dimensions of circularity to explore its political determinants. While a limited number of studies have examined institutional quality indicators, a significant gap remains in the political and institutional dimensions of the circular economy. This study is the first to investigate the impact of association and organization rig…
Indonesia's marine load capacity curve
Examining the Political Dimensions of Sustainability
Although significant efforts have been made to prevent environmental degradation, the success of these initiatives has remained limited. The primary reason for this is environmental issues' complex and multidimensional nature. Economic, political, and social dynamics play a central role in shaping environmental problems, necessitating a comprehensive approach to improve environmental quality. Recent research highlights that economic factors alone…
FinTech and Environmental Sustainability
This study explores the dynamic interplay between economic growth and environmental sustainability from a FinTech perspective, using Brazil as a case study. While FinTech's contribution to green transformation, sustainable finance, and resource efficiency has gained increasing attention, a notable lack of empirical research remains to assess its direct environmental impacts. To address this gap, the study investigates how FinTech influences envir…
Political Economy of Democracy and Income Inequality
Recently, significant deteriorations in income distribution and democratisation have been observed globally. These developments highlight the urgency and significance of addressing inequality and fortifying democracies. Therefore, examining these two phenomena’ interactions can provide policymakers with key information in creating a more egalitarian and democratic world. Although there is profound theoretical literature explaining the relationshi…
The role of income inequality in shaping fishing ground footprint in Indonesia
Democracy and Financial Development
This study examines the influence of democracy and financial development on environmental sustainability in G20 countries from 1992 to 2022 using the load capacity factor as a measure of environmental quality. Employing the Cross‐Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag model, this study explores how key economic variables, such as economic growth, energy consumption, and trade openness, interact with democracy and financial developme…
Heterogeneous Impacts of Climate Change on Economic Growth in Emerging Seven Countries
Climate change stands out as a global threat, particularly to developing economies. This study aims to analyse the effects of climate change on economic growth specifically for the Emerging Seven (E7) countries over the period 1995–2021 using a novel Climate Change Index (CCI) that integrates causes and consequences. The CCI is constructed via principal component analysis from temperature and precipitation volatility and CO 2 emissions. To accoun…

How does democracy impact the environment? An economic and political analysis of load capacity in Egypt
Testing the load capacity curve for deforestation
The political economy of income inequality
The critical role of green innovation technologies and democracy in the transition to sustainability
Can tourism be a key sector in reducing income inequality? An empirical investigation for Turkey
The aim of the study is to investigate the nexus between tourism and income inequality by employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) test cover the period 1974–2015 in Turkey. Findings indicated that the variables are cointegrated and an increase in tourism has a positive effect on income inequality, while economic growth and trade openness have a negative effect both in the long-run and short-run. Results also denote that tourism will d…
