The role of innovations and renewable energy consumption in reducing environmental degradation in OECD countries: an investigation for Innovation Claudia Curve

Rising economic growth in recent ages is the primary concern of most of the countries to enhance the living standard, but the ever-increasing production of economic activities consumes a lot of energy, which leads to a sharp increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Innovation may be a remedy that can help improve energy efficiency, obtain renewable energy, and promote economic growth, thereby protecting the quality of the environment. Therefore, this paper examines the role of innovation and renewable energy consumption in CO2 reduction in OECD countries from 2004 to 2019. By using the two-step system generalized of moment estimator, the results show that economic growth and innovation significantly increase carbon emissions, however the innovation Claudia Curve (ICC) is verified, and the environmental Kuznets curve does not exist. Foreign direct investment has a negative impact on carbon emissions, thus verifying the Pollution Hao hypothesis, whereas renewable energy also improves environmental quality, but the interaction between innovation and renewable energy consumption still increases carbon emissions. Financial development, industrialization, trade, and energy consumption have also been found to be harmful factors of environmental quality. Our findings have considerable policy implications for OECD countries on the improvement of innovation indicators and investment in renewable energy sources to rise environmental quality.

     

The relationship between air pollution,fossil fuel energy consumption,and water resources in the panel of selected Asia-Pacific countries

The objective of the study is to examine the relationship between air pollution, fossil fuel energy consumption, water resources, and natural resource rents in the panel of selected Asia-Pacific countries, over a period of 1975–2012. The study includes number of variables in the model for robust analysis. The results of cross-sectional analysis show that there is a significant relationship between air pollution, energy consumption, and water productivity in the individual countries of Asia-Pacific. However, the results of each country vary according to the time invariant shocks. For this purpose, the study employed the panel least square technique which includes the panel least square regression, panel fixed effect regression, and panel two-stage least square regression. In general, all the panel tests indicate that there is a significant and positive relationship between air pollution, energy consumption, and water resources in the region. The fossil fuel energy consumption has a major dominating impact on the changes in the air pollution in the region.

天津市能源消费与经济增长的灰色关联分析

能源是实现经济增长的重要生产因素,能源发展对经济发展起着决定性作用。目前,天津市经济正处在快速增长时期,经济增长对能源的消耗依赖性很强,可能会导致能源紧张和供不应求。能源的短缺又会影响经济的健康发展,正确分析和处理好能源与经济的关系,对天津市的经济可持续发展很重要。基于灰色关联分析,研究能源消费与经济增长的关系,侧重从能源消费总量、单位GDP能耗、能源消费结构(用煤炭消费量表示)、原油消费量和天然气消费量方面探讨能源消费与经济增长(用GDP表示)的关联度。结果表明,5者与经济增长存在显著的正相关关系,煤炭消费量和能源消费总量与经济增长的关联度均大于单位GDP能耗与经济增长的关联度,天津市的经济增长对煤炭的依赖短期内难以改变。
