“…The study findings confirm that carbon emission is adversely associated with urban health as a 1% increase in the value of CO2 emission may lead to 0.162% inpatients in the economy of China. Chien et al (2021f) and Huo et al (2021) consider the building sector in determining the linkage between carbon emission and urbanization. The study findings confirm that the rural residential building sector will be the first to reach the emission and energy peak in China.…”

There is a shred of evidence of environmental degradation in the form of carbon emissions to behave differently when tested with different macroeconomic variables. This paper aims to examine the long-run and short-run association between natural resource rent, financial development, and urbanization on carbon emission from the context of the USA during 1995-2015 with the help of a contemporary and innovative approach named quantile autoregressive distributed lagged model (QARDL). The stated approach is applied due to the fact that non-linearity is observed for the study variables. The findings indicated that the higher financial development (0.304), natural resource rent (0.102), and urbanization (0.489) have a positive impact on the environmental degradation in the region of USA during long-run estimation in the stated quantiles of the study. This would indicate that higher financial development, urbanization, and natural resources are putting more environmental pressure on the economy of the USA. Similarly, the findings under short-run estimation confirm that past and lagged values of carbon emission, financial development, natural resource rent, and urbanization are significantly determining the current values of the carbon emission. For this reason, it is suggested that the government requires some immediate steps of the USA to control the harmful effect of such financial development, more urbanization, and higher natural resource rent as well. This would indicate the reflection of some green strategies in all three explanatory variables to generate some fruitful environmental outcomes.

“…There are various investment holes in China’s renewable energy companies owing to the country’s peculiar and unstable economy (Chien et al 2021f ; He et al 2020 ; Yang et al 2021 ). Evaluating expenditure in green energy projects and assessing inefficiency in the sector are essential for government administrators to understand the economic impacts of their fiscal incentives (Chien et al 2021g ; Tiep et al 2021 ). However, our key contribution furthers the current debates and elaborates on the current research by calculating firm-specific investment productivity using the DEA methodology and implementing it at the company level of business investments.…”

“…Fearnside (1997) conducted a descriptive study and conclude that different usage of land, burning of wood, construction, and cattle and pasture is the main cause of deforestation. Furthermore, this deforestation is responsible for the emission of GHGs which the main reason of climate change is (Chien, Sadiq, et al, 2021). Similarly, J.…”

Long-lasting discussion regarding global warming still keeps on moving at the national as well as international level. The environmental fabric, weather pattern, and climate conditions have witnessed a considerable change due to some known factors. Deforestation is one of these factors. Formerly, researchers have paid attention to assess the impact of deforestation on the environment and associated threats to human lives. It is worth mentioning that a reasonable amount of stock of forests is primarily required to balance the amount of CO2 and other environmental gasses. To advance this concept, the current study focuses on the impacts of deforestation on environmental degradation and climate change in Pakistan. Since the dawn of humanity, there is a strong relationship, natural phenomena like forests and the growth of the human population. To explore this relationship, in this research study we use the data set that covers the time span of 1975-2020. In this regard, we apply discreet time-dependent variables such as the amount of stock of forest and events, which poses threats to humans, live in Pakistan. Our results of the unit root test, the autoregressive distributed lag, ARDL, and Engel and Granger, EG, technique have verified short-term and long-term association and relationship among selected variables. The results show a positive correlation between deforestation and environmental degradation and climate change in the long run and short-run as well. These findings provide the guidelines to policymakers to enhance the forest area in the country to counter the environmental degradation and climate changes that have been occurring for the previous decade.
