Environmental degradation has become a severe concern across South Asia. Hence, it is important to model the macroeconomic determinants of environmental quality across this region. The traditional fossil fuel dependency of the major South Asian nations is alleged to persistently deteriorating the environmental quality. Hence, it can be hypothesized...
Phasing out fossil fuel dependency to adopt renewable energy technologies is pertinent for both ensuring energy security and for safeguarding the well-being of the environment. However, financial constraints often bottleneck the prospects of the developing countries undergoing renewable energy transition to ease the environmental hardships. Against...

We seek to test whether innovation, measured by the number of accepted patents improves or worsens the environment in China. We hypothesize the existence of an inverse U-shaped curve, which differs by industry and provincial level of development. In that context, we test for a quadratic relationship between accepted patents and CO2 emissions per ca...
Improving environmental quality across South Asia has become one of the utmost important policy agendas of the concerned governments. The susceptibility of the majority of the South Asian countries to multifaceted climate change adversities has motivated the need to identify the factors that can function to ensure environmental sustainability withi...

This paper extends a high influential contribution by Poelhekke and Van der Ploeg (2013), on the new mechanism of natural resource curse which is FDI. Using panel data of FDI inflows
(aggregate and disaggregate) for six oil dependent countries (GCC) during a period 1980-2013; our main findings are as follows. First, total FDI is negatively correlat...
FDI in the resource sector yield a negative impact on economic growth in the GCC countries while FDI in non-resource sector varies between low positive impact and sometime negative effect. The results are robust to inclusion of other growth determinants. These results may be explained under the context of natural resource curse, which means the mor...
Natural resources are a blessing for some countries to attract FDI but cursed for others. Existing literature argues the suggestion that resource-rich countries attract less FDI because of resource (oil) price volatility. This study examines that natural resources discourage FDI in GCC countries (the FDI-Natural resources curse hypothesis), using p...

It is well-known that Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) proposed a test of Granger causality in panel datasets. However, this test requires balanced panel data.
I wonder if there is a test for the Unbalanced panel data?
I we have small sample of panel data such as N=6 and T=11 (total observation =66), and want to do estimation of panel data to control for endogeneity problem. Based on Roodman (2009), GMM estimation is suitable N>T, which is not valid in our case (T>N). Alternatively, one could use IV estimations such as XTIVREG (FE,RE) or XTIVREG2 (FE, FD). The question is that does IV estimator requires a specific number of observations? Could we claim that IV is fit for small sample? if possible some references on this.
I am looking for a precise paper comparing between IV-FE estimation and GMM estimation on Panel Data. I mean advantages and disadvantages for each method. For example, It is argued that GMM is suitable for a study with N>T. I wonder if I can use GMM in such as that T>N.If not. Does IV-FE suitable for my case? I want an empirical and theoretical evidence if possible.
Hello Everyone,
I am working panel data analysis, whenI perform Pedroni test and Kao test they said no co-integration, but Johansen-Fisher test gives co-integration. which one I have to choose and why?
