“…Various studies in energy and environmental economics have assessed the link between energy utilisation and environmental quality in both panel and time series frameworks (see Adebayo, 2021; Adebayo, Oladipupo, et al, 2021; Asongu et al, 2020; Awodumi & Adewuyi, 2020; Bano et al, 2021; Hossain et al, 2022; Jahanger, Hossain, Onwe, et al, 2023; Jahanger, Hossain, Usman, et al, 2023; Jahanger, Ozturk, et al, 2023; Majeed et al, 2021; Malayaranjan & Sahoo, 2020; Qashou et al, 2022; Rafindadi, 2015, 2016a; Rafindadi & Ozturk, 2015, 2017; Rafindadi & Usman, 2021; Soylu et al, 2021; Thai‐Ha et al, 2020; Yu et al, 2022). Nevertheless, the studies that investigated the effect of renewable (REN) and nonrenewable energy (NRE) use and real estate investment on environmental quality (ENQ) need to be more detailed and restricted to panel data framework (Fan & Zhou, 2019).…”
