In the modern world, corruption affects every community, but information and communication technologies (ICTs) control and lessen their negative effects on economic performance. In this study, the effect of Internet use and economic performance on corruption is evaluated for the period of 2005 to 2015 with the help of an advanced panel estimate met...

Purpose The discourse on the governance and environment nexus has been an important research agenda. However, the debate on the role of institutional quality (IQ) in environmental degradation is continuous. Unlike others, this study aims to examine the asymmetric effect of IQ on the ecological footprint (EF) from 1984 to 2019 in Pakistan. Design/m...

The study investigates the effect of information and communication technology (ICT) and corruption on carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions in the context of the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis. Panel data representing 33 Asian countries for the period 2000-2015 is analyzed. The econometric analysis employed allows cross-sectional dependency...

Numerous studies have estimated the linkage of economic growth and environmental degradation in the framework of EKC theory with typical CO2 emissions proxy. However, the complexity of environmental degradation (ED) is better measured by ecological footprint (ECF) in any geographical territory. Against this background, the present study is an effor...

The global warming phenomenon emerges from the issue of climate change, which attracts the attention of intellectuals towards clean energy sources from dirty energy sources. Among clean sources, nuclear energy is getting immense attention among policymakers. However, the role of nuclear energy in pollution emissions reduction has remained inconclus...

This study contributes to the literature by estimating the interaction effects of economic growth and renewable energy consumption on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with the inclusion of human capital. The interaction between economic growth and renewable energy consumption suggests how income level affects energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The...

Sources of renewable energy have received wide attention in the literature because of serious threats to the environment. However, some renewable resources, including biomass energy role is debatable in the energy economics literature. This empirical work focuses to analyze the role of biomass energy in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions using the fram...

Economic development drives industrialization, which increased the value of the extracted natural resources. Excessive usage of natural resources, through agriculture, deforestation, and mining can affect the environment. In this regard, the present study investigates the effects of natural resources' abundance on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Th...
