Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis

The paper investigates the relationships between economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. GDP growth represents the main economic dimension, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and renewable energy consumption the environmental dimension, and corruption the social dimension of sustainable development. The investigation of these relationships is based on the concept of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis about the non-linear relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution. The authors used the panel data of EU countries and Ukraine for 2000–2016 years from the Eurostat database. The obtained results confirmed the Environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for the EU and Ukraine. All the indicators were statistically significant at 1% and 5% levels. The findings proved that increasing renewable energy (RE) by 1% led to a decline of GHG in the interval (0.166103, 0.220551), and аn increase of the Control of Corruption Index by 1% provoked a decline of GHG by 0.88%. The conducted study enabled the authors to conclude that Ukraine needs to increase the GDP level per capita given the economy diversification and via the introduction of more effective and “clean” production technologies.

Renewable Energy Consumption

Sustainable development can be achieved when economic development does not produce environmental deterioration. In this context, the aim of the paper is to evaluate the effects of economic development on GHG emissions in the Baltic States (Latvia, Letonia, and Lithuania), and in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland (the Visegrád Group or V4 countries) in the period of 1996–2019. The study introduces dynamic ARDL panels in the context of the traditional environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and renewable Kuznets curve (RKC). The results indicated an inverse-N-shaped and a U-shaped pattern. Energy consumption and labour productivity enhanced pollution, while domestic credit to the private sector, as a share of GDP, and renewable energy consumption supported environmental protection. The implications of these results might help these countries to achieve the targets of the European Green Deal related to the reduction of pollution and the attainment of net zero emissions by 2050. However, national regulations should further promote the use of renewable energy sources.

This paper analyzes the legitimacy of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis for a group of seven (G7) countries over the period 1995–2015. In addition to testing the EKC speculation, the authors also would like to understand the ways in which increases in renewable energy consumption and the international tourism receipt affect the CO2 emissions in G7 countries, because the energy and tourism sectors may have considerable direct impacts on CO2 emissions. In this investigation, a panel bootstrap cointegration test and an augmented mean group (AMG) estimator were applied. The empirical findings indicate that the tourism-induced EKC hypothesis is valid only for France. Additionally, it was detected that a rise in renewable energy consumption has a negative (reduction) impact on CO2 emissions in France, Italy, the UK, and the US. However, an increase in the receipt of international touristm has a positive (additional) impact on Italy’s CO2 emissions. Hence, this country’s decision-makers should re-review their tourism policy to adopt a renewable-inclusive one for sustainable tourism and the environment.

Although a number of studies have been conducted on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) and the pollution halo hypothesis (PHH), few researchers have assessed the scope in the light of the BRICS— Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—nations. Therefore, the current research assesses the income-induced EKC as well as the role of technological innovation and renewable energy consumption utilizing a dataset stretching from 1990 to 2018. The present research utilized the novel method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) developed by Machado and Silva (2019) to assess these interrelationships. The empirical outcomes from the MMQR affirmed an inverted U-shaped interrelationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth across all quantiles (first to ninth) for the BRICS nations, thus confirming the presence of the EKC hypothesis. Furthermore, we affirmed the PHH, thus confirming the negative interrelationship between globalization and ecological footprint across all quantiles (first to ninth). Moreover, it was found that renewable energy use plays a vital role in curbing the emissions of CO2 across all quantiles (first to ninth), while no evidence of significant connection was established between technological innovation and ecological footprint across all quantiles. In addition, the Granger causality outcomes revealed a feedback causality between income and ecological footprint, while a unidirectional causality was established from globalization and renewable energy use to ecological footprint.

Abstract While coal leads energy structure in a rapid growth economy like Vietnam, there exist efforts to increase the use of renewable energy and at the same time to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper aims to investigate whether there is an inverted U environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) relation between income and coal consumption from 1984 to 2019 using the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) framework. We find that the income elasticities of coal consumption are larger than unity and increase monotonically with income. It thus reveals that the income-coal consumption relationship resembles an upward-sloping curve instead of an inverted U-shaped curve. We also find that coal consumption reduces with the one percent increase in the share of renewable energy consumption by less than it increases with the one percent decrease in the share of renewable energy consumption. Despite this, it indicates that the substitution of renewable energy for coal seems more substantial with policy improvements. Moreover, we find that the quantity of coal consumed grows with positive oil price shocks. It suggests that rising oil prices play an undesirable role in reducing coal consumption and associated emissions. Finally, the study provides policy implications for interventions to achieve committed emission targets.
