TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the Pakistan agriculture and its impact on economy and highlighted the agricultural challenges and its possible solutions, and showed that due to agriculture problems there is fluctuations in Pakistan's economic growth (GDP) thus, Pakistan’s economic growth is going to slowdown.
Abstract: Agriculture is considered the backbone of any economy and it is also the most important sector of Pakistan’s economy. The purpose of this research is to analyze the Pakistan’s agriculture and its impact on economy. This study also highlights the agricultural challenges and its possible solutions. Time-series data is used in this paper and data is collected from different articles, websites and reports. The agriculture sectors i.e. major and minor crops, fruits, livestock, fisheries and forestry are studied in this research paper. There is some agriculture problems i.e.; limited water, poor management, natural calamities and others which have negative impact on Pakistan’s economy. The findings shows that due to agriculture problems there is fluctuations in Pakistan’s economic growth (GDP) thus, Pakistan’s economic growth is going to slowdown. Total factor of production is also going to slow down due to these instabilities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the environmental Kuznets curve in the case of France by taking the role of nuclear energy in electricity production into account, and examine the stability of the estimated models and investigate the Granger causality relationships between the variables in the system.
Abstract: This paper attempts to estimate the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) in the case of France by taking the role of nuclear energy in electricity production into account. We adopt the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration as the estimation method. Additionally, we examine the stability of the estimated models and investigate the Granger causality relationships between the variables in the system. The results from our estimation provide evidence supporting the EKC hypothesis and the estimated models are shown to be stable over the sample period. The uni-direction running from other variables to CO2 emissions are confirmed from the casualty tests. Specifically, the uni-directional causality relationship running from nuclear energy to CO2 emissions statistically provides evidence on the important role of nuclear energy in reducing CO2 emissions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically examined the interlinkages between energy consumption and economic growth in top ten energy-consuming countries i.e. China, the USA, Russia, India, Japan, Canada, Germany, Brazil, France and South Korea.
Abstract: This paper empirically examines the inter-linkages between energy consumption and economic growth in top ten energy-consuming countries i.e. China, the USA, Russia, India, Japan, Canada, Germany, Brazil, France and South Korea. We use the quantile-on-quantile (QQ) approach of Sim and Zhou (2015) to explore some nuanced features of the energy-growth nexus and to capture the relationship in its entirety. The results show a positive association between economic growth and energy consumption, with considerable variations across economic states in each country. A weak effect of economic growth on energy consumption is noted for the lower quantiles of economic growth in China, India, Germany and France, which suggests that energy as an input has less importance at low levels of economic growth. A weak effect of economic growth on energy consumption is also noted for the highest quantiles of income in the United States, Canada, Brazil and South Korea, which indicates that energy demand decreases with the increase in economic growth as these countries have become more energy efficient. The weakest effect of energy consumption on economic growth is observed at lower quantiles of energy consumption in China, Japan, Brazil and South Korea. The results of the present study can help in the design of energy development and conservation policies for sustainable and long-term economic development.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the effects of nuclear and renewable energy on the ecological footprint, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and load capacity factor using co-integration and causality tests with Fourier transforms.
Abstract: In this study, we test the validity of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis for France from 1977 to 2017. In this context, we analyze the effects of nuclear and renewable energy on the ecological footprint, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and load capacity factor using co-integration and causality tests with Fourier transforms. In addition to the traditional indicators of environmental degradation, we make an important contribution to the literature by testing for the first time the impact of nuclear energy on the load capacity factor. The results of our empirical analysis suggest that there is no inverted U-shaped relationship between CO2 emissions and income, but rather the EKC hypothesis for the load capacity factor. While nuclear energy reduces CO2 emissions and increases the load capacity factor, in other words, improves environmental quality, renewable energy has no long-term impact on environmental conditions. The findings point to the importance of nuclear energy in green sustainability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the non-linear renewables and carbon emission efficiency nexus to optimize the energy transition path and find that RED is conductive to CEE, but there is a significant threshold effect.
Abstract: This study aims to explore the non-linear renewables and carbon emission efficiency (CEE) nexus to optimize the energy transition path. Taking 32 developed countries that have proposed carbon neutrality targets as the research objects, the super-efficiency slacks-based measure (SE-SBM) model is first used to measure their CEE from 2000 to 2018. Then, a newly developed panel threshold model with interactive fixed effects (PTIFEs) is established to comprehensively explore the non-linear impact of renewable energy development (RED) on CEE. The results show that: (1) During the sample period, there are significant differences in CEE among countries, and most countries are inefficient. (2) On the whole, RED is conductive to CEE, but there is a significant threshold effect. Specifically, this positive effect decreases with energy consumption intensity, whereas it increases with financial development, RED, and CEE. (3) The heterogeneity analysis shows that the threshold effect persists across countries with different income levels, and the direction is consistent with the entire sample. Besides, as the incomes down, the positive correlation between RED and CEE is significantly diminished. This study provides a new perspective for optimizing the energy transition path.
