Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to portray the growth–energy–environment relationship in Luxembourg by performing a yearly data covering the years from 1970 to 2021.

Design/methodology/approach

Economic growth, population growth and disaggregated energy use into renewable and non-renewable sources are employed to investigate the impact of each on environmental quality as measured by CO2 emissions. ARDL Bounds co-integration test was established to explore the long run relationship among the variables and the ARDL approach was employed to estimate the long run impact of the determinants on CO2 emissions. The results validated the presence of the EKC in Luxembourg. Moreover, the causal link between variables is investigated employing a novel approach to time-varying causality which was recently developed by Shi et al. (2018, 2020) highlighting the main contribution of this study.

Findings

Overall results of the study lead to conclude that economic growth and sustainable environmental quality can both coexist if feasible anti-pollution laws are enacted, fossil fuels are reduced and further research is made to increase the capacity of renewable energy sources and raise their percentage contribution to energy supply. The time-varying causality test results verify that causal link between environmental degradation and its main determinants is apparent over different time spans. Thus, time-varying causality test results suggest to design dynamic policies to improve environmental quality in Luxembourg.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the literature since the use of the variables is the first of its kind for a time-series empirical analysis on Luxembourg as the study seeks to investigate the growth–energy–environment relationship in the country. Furthermore, to the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no previous study investigating the time-varying causality link between environmental degradation and its main determinants by the application of the test developed by Shi et al. (2018, 2020) considering the indicators focused in this study and for the case of Luxembourg.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to assess the moderating role of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the effect of economic complexity on carbon emissions, considering other drivers of carbon emissions such as renewable energy use and economic growth, using data set spanning between 1990 and 2018 in BRICS nations.

Design/methodology/approach

This research aims to fill the gap in ongoing literature. Cross-sectional IPS and cross-sectional augmented Dickey–Fuller tests, fully modified ordinary least square, dynamic ordinary least square, fixed effect ordinary least square, Westerlund cointegration and method of moments quantile regression (MMQR) econometric approaches are applied.

Findings

The Westerlund cointegration outcomes disclosed long-run interconnectedness between carbon emissions and its drivers. Furthermore, MMQR outcomes disclosed that in each tail (0.1–0.90), economic growth and economic complexity contribute to upsurge in carbon emissions while in each quantile (0.1–0.90) renewable energy abate carbon emissions. Furthermore, we affirmed the pollution-haven and environmental Kuznets curve hypotheses across all quantiles (0.1–0.90). Finally, at all quantiles (0.1–0.90), the joint effect of both FDI inflows and economic complexity reduced carbon emissions. Furthermore, the panel causality outcomes disclosed that all the exogenous variables can predict carbon emissions. Based on the findings, BRICS nation’s policymakers should place a greater emphasis on FDI inflows because it aids in abating environmental degradation.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research to test the moderating role of FDI on the effect of economic complexity on carbon emissions. Hence, this research aims to fill the gap in ongoing literature.

Abstract

Purpose

Female labour force participation (FLFP) is undeniably critical for both developing and developed countries. This study aims to investigate the impact of economic risk on FLFP, controlling economic well-being, fertility rate and education, considering the asymmetric relationship among the indicators in Turkey.

Design/methodology/approach

Time series data covering years from 1988Q1 to 2019Q4 is deployed for the empirical analysis to identify the long-run asymmetric link. Empirical analysis of the study starts with the employment of the Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test with the breakpoint to test for the order of integration of time series and to capture the breakpoints. The Brock-Dechert-Scheibkman test is applied to determine if or not the econometric model is correctly identified. Nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) bounds test is used to examine the existence of an asymmetric link between FLFP and economic well-being. The empirical analysis follows the investigation of the determinants of FLFP through the employment of the NARDL model.

Findings

The existence of long-run link among the time series is confirmed through the results obtained from the NARDL bounds test. Furthermore, long-run NARDL estimations confirm that (i) positive shocks in economic well-being increases FLFP; (ii) positive shock in education negatively impacts FLFP; (iii) FLFP is negatively affected by economic risk; and (iv) finally, increased fertility rate increases FLFP in Turkey.

Originality/value

This paper is checked from turnitin for the plagiarism which is estimated to be less than 20%. It is an original paper that fills the gap in literature and provides meaningful insight both for the policymakers and academics.
