As the world continues to be a globalized society, there have been variations in environmental quality, but studies including trade globalization into the environmental policy framework remain inconclusive. Therefore, employing the time series dataset of Uruguay over the period between 1980 and 2018, the main objective of this current study is to investigate the effect of trade globalization, natural resources rents, economic growth, and financial development on carbon emissions. By employing the bounds testing procedures in combination with the critical approximation p-values of Kripfganz and Schneider (2018), the Autoregressive Distributed Lag estimator, and spectral causality test to achieve the goal of this research. The outcomes of the bounds test confirm a long-run connection between carbon emissions and these determinants. Moreover, from the outcome of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag estimator, we observed that trade liberalization is found to exert CO2 emissions in the long and short run. The economic expansion in Uruguay imposes significant pressure on the quality of the environment in the long and short run. The abundance of natural resources significantly increases environmental deterioration in the long and short run. Furthermore, we uncover that financial development does not impact environmental deterioration in Uruguay. Finally, the outcome of the spectral causality test detected that trade globalization, economic growth, and natural resources forecast carbon emissions with the exclusion of financial development. Based on the outcome, this study suggests that policies should be tailored towards international trade must be reassessed, and the restrictions placed on the exportation of polluting-intensive commodities must be reinforced.

In the modern era of globalization, information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs) have become an important factor influencing carbon dioxide (CO2) emission; however, the specific effect produced by ICTs is still not clear. Therefore, the study examines the nexus between ICTs, foreign direct investment, globalization, and CO2 emission in 77 developing countries. The novel attribute of this research is the ICTs with financial development and the international trade interaction term. The results of this study are based on the pooled regression and generalized method of moment (GMM) techniques from 1990 to 2016. The subsequent empirical findings are established as follows: first, the ICTs positively contribute to reducing CO2 emission. Second, globalization significantly increases the CO2 emission; third; the interaction between ICTs and financial development increases CO2 emissions, and the moderating effect of ICTs and international trade performs the similar role. Fourth, the empirical finding verifies the presence of the pollution haven hypothesis. Fifth, our robustness tests confirmed that our empirical results were consistent. We suggest that policymakers should be using ICTs as a policy tool to mitigate CO2 emission and should invite such investments in ICT sectors, which help maintain the environment quality.

ICT, renewable energy, financial development, and CO2 emissions in developing countries of East and South Asia

The major objective of this research is to examine the connection among poverty, population growth and its impact on economic development of different developing countries. This research comprised of panel data for period of 2002-2015. The data has been taken World Bank Indicator (WDI) for twenty six developing countries. To find out the results we use panel data. For the analysis of data we have applied Hausman and Fixed Effect Model in this study. Findings of the study indicate that the consumption of government, export, gross capital formation and industrial value added have positive impact on growth of developing economies. The results show that the variation in these variables has positive effect on dependent variables. On the other hand, economic growth increases due to positive changes in this variable. It is seen in this study that population and poverty has negative impact on GDP per capita in selected developing countries.
