TLDR
In this paper, the impact of financial development, urbanization, trade openness, political institutions, and energy consumption on the ecological footprints (EF) within the framework of EKC, of 110 countries congregated by income levels, over the time span of 1996-2016.Abstract:
This study stabs to probe the impact of financial development, urbanization, trade openness, political institutions, and energy consumption on the ecological footprints (EF), within the framework of EKC, of 110 countries congregated by income levels, over the time span of 1996–2016. The final outcome of cross-sectionally weighted Panel EGLS and multi-step A-B GMM evidently reinforced the existence of EKC hypothesis in case of EF both in developed and less-developed countries. This study finds the destructive environmental impact of composition effect and energy consumption while political institutions, trade openness, and urbanization have constructive environmental effect. Financial development reduces the human demand on nature only in less-developed countries. The ultimate consequences of this study are equipped with several policy recommendations for the concerned authorities.read more

Modelling the dynamic linkages between eco-innovation, urbanization, economic growth and ecological footprints for G7 countries: Does financial globalization matter?
Mahmood Ahmad,Ping Jiang,Muntasir Murshed,Khurram Shehzad,Rabia Akram,Lianbiao Cui,Zeeshan Khan +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of financial globalization, urbanization, eco-innovation, and economic growth on the ecological footprints of the G7 countries using annual frequency data spanning from 1980 to 2016, several latest econometric methods, that are robust to handling cross-sectionally dependent panel datasets, are employed to ascertain the environmental impacts of these variables.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the EKC hypothesis is not valid in allBRICS countries, and policy-makers should develop policies to reduce energy intensity in BRICS countries.

Some Tests of Specification for Panel Data: Monte Carlo Evidence and an Application to Employment Equations.
Manuel Arellano,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator optimally exploits all the linear moment restrictions that follow from the assumption of no serial correlation in the errors, in an equation which contains individual effects, lagged dependent variables and no strictly exogenous variables.

Initial conditions and moment restrictions in dynamic panel data models
Richard Blundell,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two alternative linear estimators that are designed to improve the properties of the standard first-differenced GMM estimator are presented. But both estimators require restrictions on the initial conditions process.

Testing for unit roots in heterogeneous panels
TL;DR: In this article, a unit root test for dynamic heterogeneous panels based on the mean of individual unit root statistics is proposed, which converges in probability to a standard normal variate sequentially with T (the time series dimension) →∞, followed by N (the cross sectional dimension)→∞.

Unit root tests in panel data: asymptotic and finite-sample properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider pooling cross-section time series data for testing the unit root hypothesis, and they show that the power of the panel-based unit root test is dramatically higher, compared to performing a separate unit-root test for each individual time series.
