The impact of natural resources, energy consumption, and population growth on environmental quality: Fresh evidence from the United States of America

The present study aims to explore the long‐run and causal effect of financial development and renewable energy consumption on environmental sustainability while controlling technological innovation and economic growth within the global framework. In line with the aim of the study, the fully modified OLS (FMOLS), dynamic OLS (DOLS), canonical cointegrating regression (CCR), Bayer and Hanck cointegration, and frequency‐domain causality tests are employed. Empirical evidence confirms the existence of a long‐run linkage among the variables. The present study also finds that in the long run, global financial development and global renewable energy consumption have a long‐run significant positive effect on environmental sustainability, while economic growth increases carbon emission flaring around the world. Within the global framework, the study, therefore, recommends that in order to increase environmental quality, global policy‐makers should further consider the roles of renewable energy and financial development by implementing reform energy policies in both developed and developing countries.

In recent years, in all countries - albeit to varying degrees - many changes have taken place in the financial structure which have accompanied the development of new instruments, markets and financial intermediaries. A growing literature describes and analyses these changes, generically grouped together under the label of "financial innovation". In order to clarify the costs and benefits of what is meant by financial innovation, it is necessary to jointly examine both its causes and its effects. To this end, it is first necessary to consider some very general questions that thus far have yet to be answered in any certain or unambiguous way, if they have been considered in the scientific literature at all. The present work examines the current state of the theory of financial innovation, to then illustrate the main features of the innovation process currently taking place. This leads to some considerations on the resulting implications for the modus operandi of monetary policy and, more generally, for the definition of this policy’s transmission mechanisms.

On financial innovation

Developing countries are facing the problem of environmental degradation. Environmental degradation is caused by the use of non-renewable energy consumptions for economic growth but the consequences of environmental degradation cannot be ignored. This primary purpose of this study is to investigate the nexus between energy consumption, economic growth and CO2 emission in Pakistan by using annual time series data from 1965 to 2015. The estimated results of ARDL indicate that energy consumption and economic growth increase the CO2 emissions in Pakistan both in short run and long run. Based on the estimated results it is recommended that policy maker in Pakistan should adopt and promote such renewable energy sources that will help to meet the increased demand for energy by replacing old traditional energy sources such as coal, gas, and oil. Renewable energy sources are reusable that can reduce the CO2 emissions and also ensure sustainable economic development of Pakistan.
