Exploring the factors that affect energy intensity is a worthy research topic because a decline of energy intensity lowers greenhouse gas emissions and increases energy security. Therefore, using the World Bank data from 2000 to 2020, this study examined how industrialisation, trade openness, financial development, and urbanisation affected energy...

Abstract The rapid increase in global output has exacerbated global warming by increasing the ecological footprint through resource extraction and energy use. There has been a lot of debate about using green technologies to reduce the environmental impact of carbon footprint. Nations worldwide have vowed to cut carbon emissions through remedial mea...

In recent decades, natural resources have been regarded as an important factor for the economic performance of the countries. However, developed economies are more recognized for better Globalization and the use of renewable Energy. This study aims to analyze the influence of natural resources rents, Globalization, renewable energy consumption, and...

This study aims to explore the validity of Phillips curve for eight (8) countries from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), namely Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Malta, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia over the period of 1991–2019. The panel autoregressive distributed lag/pooled mean group (ARDL/PMG) estimation is employed in the study becau...

This paper investigates environmental sustainability by examining the impact of the tech industry, renewable energy, and urbanization environmental degradation in a developing country such as China. This study mainly relates to China for the period 1991 to 2015. Our findings may be extrapolated to other developing countries. We employ several econo...

This study examines the impact of energy consumption, urbanization, and globalization on environmental degradation proxied by carbon emissions (CO 2) in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries, namely Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Maldives, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and India using data over the period 1990-2018. The cross-se...

This paper empirically investigated the trade competitiveness and trade potential of Pakistan and ASEAN countries in the Chinese market. The study utilizes trade data for the period of 2003–2019 to assess the bilateral trade aspects by using an extended gravity equation. In addition, the PPML model and constant market share analysis are applied to...

This analyzed the impact of remittances on growth in developing countries i.e. South Asian countries during 1981-2018. They are considered the major remittances recipients countries. The nature of the data is panel; therefore, Panel unit root tests and panel ARDL technique are employed. Unit root tests reported mixed order of stationarity. ARDL res...

This research examines the intensity, magnitude and direction of trade bilaterally between (the CARs) in1995-2017. The analysis uses indices of export-import intensity and trade complementarity. The results of study show that Pakistan is a valuable trading partner to the region and on average experience greater export intensity rather than import i...

We re‐evaluate empirically the threshold effect of inflation on economic growth for 27 countries (16 developing and 11 developed economies) over 1975–2018. Our research differs from the previous one in that it employs non‐average inflation data with a balanced panel for a longer period of time. The methods of fixed effects and feasible generalized...

Owing to declining export growth and escalating trade deficits in Pakistan, this study investigates the dynamics of comparative advantage, complementarity, and pinpoints potential export products in the ASEAN region. This study scrutinizes the trade dynamics between Pakistan and ASEAN over the period 2003-2016 by extracting International Trade Cent...

By using statistical tools of revealed comparative advantage, trade complementarity, constant market share, and stochastic frontier gravity model, this study inspects the export performance and trade potential of Pakistan in the Central Asian region. The range of the study is from 2003 to 2017. The study finds that Pakistan has the highest comparat...

The developing world is facing pivotal challenges in recent times. Among these, global warming has ominous repercussions on every segment of society, thus tracing its underlying causes is imperative. This research attempts to investigate the impact of urbanization and energy consumption on carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) for a panel of 8 Asian count...

The fundamental objective of this study is to estimate for basic trade elasticity and assess the impact of trade liberalization on Pakistan's import demand in bilateral case for a sample of selected countries. In sample, countries are selected from both the developed and developing world on account of their greater share in Pakistan's total imports...

Many countries around the globe attempted to decentralize the powers either political or financial to perform more efficiently. Pakistan being in search of growth also attempted to decentralize the financial authorities into lower tiers. Researchers empirically tested the various propositions of fiscal decentralization and this study is an addition...
