Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to organize the detailed review of economic growth, carbon emission and foreign capital inflows and its impact on the environment. Another objective of the study is to provide the comprehensive bibliography and to analyze the findings and results of the studies undertaken in review. Design/methodology/approach-This paper examined 111 research papers from a sample of thousands of papers, based on inclusion criteria, in this area of research. These 111 research papers are categorized on the basis of several factors to know the status of research on this topic. Findings-This study is based on economic development and carbon emission and its impact on the environment. We tried to gather all the available facts based on this topic and found that the topic is gaining high relevance in the present scenario because of the growing pace of development in developing countries. Most of the studies supported the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis and we also found that significant amount of literature is available which supports cleaner FDI as a measure to mitigate the negative effects of economic growth on the ecological environment. Originality/value-Based on the literature review from various sources, this study provides the collection, classification and comprehensive bibliography on this topic, which may be helpful for stakeholders such as academicians, researchers and policymakers working particularly in this area of research.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review and organize the status of research already conducted on financial market contagion so as to provide easy access to future researchers. Additional objective of the study is to classify the available literature and provide a complete bibliography on the subject and analyze the findings of the studies considered for review. Design/methodology/approach A number of resources were looked at to review the past literature and out of hundreds of papers, 104 research papers form the sample for the present study. These 104 research papers are further classified on the basis of various variables so as to know the status of research done on the topic. Findings This paper classifies the past research done on financial market contagion and found that the research work in this field has increased significantly during recent times, particularly between 2011 and 2015. Apart from the above finding, many other findings were revealed by the studies used for this paper. Practical implications This paper presents the concise view of available literature. It helps the future researchers with the same research interest. This is the major implication of such literature review paper. Originality/value This paper provides collection, classification and comprehensive bibliography on financial market contagion. This paper is surely going to be of great value for academicians, practitioners and future researchers who study the existing research work as well as for conducting future research in the same subject.
