Dynamic linkages between globalization, financial development and carbon emissions: Evidence from Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation countries

Investigating the EKC hypothesis with renewable energy consumption, human capital, globalization and trade openness for China: Evidence from augmented ARDL approach with a structural break

The ecological footprint, a measure of human demand on earth’s ecosystems, represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area that is necessary to supply the resources a human population consumes and to mitigate associated waste. This study estimates the impact of economic growth and natural resources on Pakistan’s ecological footprint using an autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) model for long-run estimation. The empirical findings indicate that natural resources have a positive effect on an ecological footprint that deteriorates environmental quality and that natural resources help to support the environmental Kuznets hypothesis (EKC). Bidirectional causality is found between natural resources and the ecological footprint, along with a long-run causality between biocapacity and the ecological footprint. The innovative findings have important implications for policy.

Economic growth, natural resources, and ecological footprints: evidence from Pakistan.

This work aims to contribute to the existing literature by investigating at the impact of financial development on ecological footprint. To achieve this goal, we have employed Driscoll-Kraay panel regression model for a panel of 59 Belt and Road countries in the period from 1990 to 2016. The findings suggest that financial development increases ecological footprint. Moreover, economic growth, energy consumption, foreign direct investment (FDI), and urbanization pollute the environment by increasing ecological footprint. In addition, several diagnostic tests have been applied to confirm the reliability and validity of the results. From the outcome of the study, various policy implications have been proposed for Belt and Road countries to minimize the ecological footprint.

The role of financial development and globalization in the environment: Accounting ecological footprint indicators for selected one-belt-one-road initiative countries

This study examines the contribution of financial development to environmental degradation in Saudi Arabia in the period from 1971 to 2016, controlling the model for globalization and electricity consumption. The autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) and vector error correction methods (VECM) are applied to the long-run and causal relationship, respectively. Empirical results indicate that financial development contributes to CO2 emissions and degrades environmental quality. The results also show that the role of globalization in environmental degradation is insignificant and that electricity consumption is the main culprit behind the growing CO2 emissions in Saudi Arabia. In addition, bidirectional causality exists between globalization and CO2 emissions in the long run, and financial development and CO2 emissions Granger-cause each other. Insights from the study help policymakers to understand the roles of financial development and globalization in environmental degradation and to comply with global mandate for the reduction of CO2 emissions.

Nexus between financial development and CO 2 emissions in Saudi Arabia: analyzing the role of globalization

In the last few decades, societies have started to demand that corporations should act more ethically. This demand is the result of series of corporate collapses of the current decade across the world particularly in Anglophone countries. These collapses did not only bring monetary losses for shareholders or investors but also resulted in job losses for employees who were directly or indirectly associated with these large corporations. These economic and emotional losses indicate ineffective and inefficient governance of the corporations. Hence, it has become important to investigate the reasons behind these collapses and devise the mechanisms, which can assist corporations to prevent these sudden downfalls. This conceptual paper has reviewed the emerging link between corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) for the better comprehension of the mechanisms which can facilitate a corporation to act as a more responsible and transparent entity. The research queries which are raised after the review of the relevant literature needs empirical investigation. The survey of a variety of epistemological and methodological options illustrates that realist and case study research method can be a better choice to comprehend this emerging relationship. However, the critical evaluation of case method also shows that the weaknesses of this method should be handled carefully and skilfully for studying the current phenomenon. Hence, this paper presents a modified model for studying the complex phenomena in an organisational setting.

Using Case Study Research Method to Emergent Relations of Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility

In recent times, people are becoming more concerned towards green purchasing because of a grown consciousness for environmental protection. Green purchasing is essentially the act of buying environmental friendly products. This research is conducted to find the impact of customer's environmental concern and knowledge towards the intentions of green purchasing. The research model in this meticulous study examines the consequences of predictor variables (environmental concern, organizational green image and environmental knowledge) upon criterion variable (green purchase intention) with the moderating effect of perceived product price and quality. The research methodology used for the particular study is quantitative in nature exclusively using survey research approach. Random sampling technique derived from probability sampling technique was employed for the selection of sample. A sample of 130 Sahiwal University students inclined towards environmental friendly garments was studied through self-administrated questionnaires. The statistical software SPSS 16 version was used to analyze the data. The study has implication for managers; as they can formulate th
