This study estimated the growth, energy and environmental degradation nexus in Pakistan by using time series data. The data have been taken from the World Bank for the year 1971 to 2011. The data analysis was done by using the approach of co-integration (ARDL bound test) to confirm the effective long-term positive relationship among carbon dioxide emissions, per capita income growth and the per capita income gap to monitor the trend of the Environmental Kuznets Curve in Pakistan. The results of the study showed that there is no evidence of a serial correlation between the variables in the discussion, but they have a long-term association. Energy usage and per capita real income, has a positive relationship with CO2 emissions. The study has concluded that there is an evidence of inverted U shaped EKC in Pakistan and this relationship varies with different types of pollutants and geographical regions. Initially, income has a positive relationship with CO2 emission but after the turning point, both have a negative relationship.

Regional integration in Africa is a subject of great interest, but its impact on income has not been studied sufficiently. Using cross-sectional and panel estimations, this article examines the impact of African integration on real per capita income in Africa. Accordingly, we consider intra-African trade and migration flows as quantitative measures reflecting the intensity of regional integration. To address the endogeneity concerns, we use a gravity-based, two-stage least-squares strategy. Our results show that, from a long-term perspective, African integration has not been strong enough to generate a positive, significant, and robust impact on real per capita income in Africa. However, it does appear to be significantly income-enhancing in the short and medium terms but only through intercountry migration. These results are robust to a wide range of specifications.


Purpose. The study objective was to model conditions, mechanisms and opportunities to achieve sustainable development parameters for the national economy. Меthods. Analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, analytical grouping and special (abstraction, modelling, etc.) methods of studying economic phenomena and processes have been used. Results. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of GDP growth rates, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, oxide and carbon dioxide emissions during 1991-2017, the cycle of their change lasting 3 - 5 years has been proved. It has been found out that the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in Ukraine is a specific one due to the "turning points". According to the results of comparing the cyclicality of per capita income growth rates, GDP indexes with the dynamics of dependence between the hazardous substances emissions and per capita income and GDP in actual prices, it is found that they do not always coincide. It gives grounds to make a conclusion about the presence of lag between the emissions volumes changes and values of per capita income and GDP in actual prices. The conclusions are grounded on the comparison of the dynamics of GDP growth rates, income per capita, pollutant emissions and the parameters of their mutual correlation. It has been proposed to carry out coordinated policy referring its economic, social and environmental components, taking into account the time lag to create the conditions for the EKC curve parameters in the economy of Ukraine. Conclusions. . Based on the analysis of GDP growth rates dynamics, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon oxide and dioxide emissions, the periodicity (cyclicality) of their change has been proved. In Ukraine, EKC has a specific nature in the form of separate «turning points», without achievement of long-term parameters of the relationship between the hazardous substances emissions and GDP and per capita income values. Thus, the feasibility of developing the agreed policy concerning the economic (GDP value), social (population income level) and environmental components (conservation activity financing and decrease of hazardous substances emissions) taking into account the time lag, which will create the conditions for achieving not only temporary values, but also long-term parameters of EKC curve in the Ukrainian economy, was substantiated. The obtained results allow to forecast sustainable development parameters of Ukraine for the future.

Transport demand and private motor vehicle ownership (cars and motorcycles) are generally related to the socio-economic development, increasing urbanization, public policies and rising per capita income. Private motor vehicle ownership varies between countries and geographical regions. However, it tends to have some common patterns in its historical evolution. So that during the early stages of development, the rate of motorization increased mainly by acquisitions of PTWs (mopeds and motorcycles). As the economy grows, the increase in per capita income stimulates a shift from PTWs to cars, which are preferred for their safety, versatility, comfort and social status. The increasing use of cars contributes to raising travel costs (congestion, parking constraints, accidents, pollution), that coupled with public policies to discourage car use, tends to favour modal shifts from cars to public transport and in some regions also to PTWs. This study analyze the historical evolution of private motor vehicle ownership in Spain (cars and motorcycles), and identify the stage in which is the city of Barcelona, characterized by the high use of PTWs.  The increase use of PTWs is a common phenomenon in some major European cities and suggests a continuous future growth in developed countries and congested urban areas, that is not in line with the assumptions of some models, which predict that in the long-run there will be a decrease in use of PTWs with high income per capita levels.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/CIT2016.2016.3497

This study was conducted to determine the effect of government spending on the education and health sectors on Indonesia's per capita income. The data used in this study are time series data from 1990- 2018 obtained from the website of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The data are then analyzed using dynamic analysis of the ARDL model. The results showed that government spending in the education sector had no effect on Indonesia's per capita income for the 1990-2018 period, both in the long and short term. Government spending in the health sector affects Indonesia's per capita income for the 1990-2018 period in the short and long term

By utilizing a unique annual series data of the Korean economy from 1986 co 2004, this paper discovers chat differences between two indicators of openness (i.e., trade and finance) are causal co the differentials in real per capita income growth race. The empirical evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that, with ocher factors given, greater openness co finance and trade makes a substantial contribution co higher real per capita income growth rate. Therefore, in order to increase real per capita income growth race, Korean economic policies must pursue greater openness to trade and finance as well as regulatory reform.

National savings are critically important to help maintain a higher level of investment which is a key determinant of economic growth. Although savings rates have fallen in many developing countries during the last two decades, Pakistan presents a unique picture of experiencing high rates of economic growth along with very low savings rates. In fact, the national savings rate of Pakistan is not only low compared to that in many countries with per capita income about the same as Pakistan's but it is even lower to that in some South Asian countries with lower per capita income. Pakistan's economic performance during the last three decades has been impressive. Real gross national product (GNP) has grown at an average rate of 6.0 percent per annum since 1960. The national savings rate, on the other hand, has fluctuated around an almost horizontal trend (15 percent) during the same period. Thus, Pakistan's saving performance and its overall economic performance appear to be incongruous. Although the low savings rates have become a major source of concern in recent years, not much attention has been devoted to highlight the key determinants of saving in Pakistan. In recent years, few studies have been done on this issue using both the time-series and cross-section data. Qureshi (1981); Abbot and DeRosa (1984) and Khan (1988) using time-series data have examined various determinants of household/national savings. Qureshi (1981) concentrated on economic determinants and found income and its rate of growth, the rate of return on financial assets and rate of inflation as key factors influencing household savings in Pakistan.
