Sustainable development in E-7 countries requires addressing environmental pollution. Renewable energy, institutional quality, foreign direct investment (FDI), and economic growth positively impact environmental sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Economics
- Sustainable Development Studies
- Econometrics
Background:
- Sustainable development is a critical global challenge, intrinsically linked to resolving environmental issues.
- Economic activities significantly influence environmental quality, necessitating an understanding of key drivers.
- The E-7 countries (Brazil, Russia, China, Indonesia, India, Mexico, Turkey) represent a significant bloc for studying these dynamics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the impact of renewable energy, institutional quality, foreign direct investment (FDI), and economic growth on environmental pollution in E-7 countries.
- To analyze the short and long-run relationships among these variables and CO2 emissions.
- To explore the asymmetrical effects of shocks in these variables on environmental pollution.
Main Methods:
- Utilized annual data from 2002 to 2023 for E-7 countries.
- Applied stationary processes to the data.
- Employed the panel Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model for analysis.
Main Results:
- Confirmed both short-run and long-run relationships between the selected variables and CO2 emissions.
- Observed asymmetrical responses of CO2 emissions to positive and negative shocks in exogenous variables.
- Found that a one-percent increase in FDI, GDP, institutional quality (IQ), and economic conditions (EC) leads to a reduction in carbon emissions.
Conclusions:
- Economic growth and environmental sustainability can be pursued concurrently in E-7 nations.
- Strengthening institutional frameworks is crucial for environmental health and sustainable growth.
- Encouraging green investments and fostering technical innovation are essential policy recommendations.
