“…Moreover, Samour et al ( 2022a , b ) showed a positive impact of the economic factor on renewable consumption in the UAE. Recently, Omri and Saadaoui ( 2022 ) have demonstrated that the total factor production drives the total consumption on renewable energy in Tunisia.…”

“…However, the linear Granger causality test does not take into account the non-linearity observed in the dynamics time series. It is obvious that macroeconomic and financial variables exhibit non-linear behavior over time (Omri and Saadaoui 2022 ). Neglecting these non-linearity dynamics can lead to misidentification of the causal relationship between two variables or otherwise reduce the estimation effectiveness of the causality test.…”

“…Thus, the above target of the Tunisian government seems ambitious in terms of efforts made (Omri et al 2019 ). However, Tunisia is still very far from optimally exploiting its solar and wind energy potential, while the developing countries have made great progress in recent years (Omri and Saadaoui 2022 ).…”

The objective of this study is to investigate the potential role of capital deepening in promoting the transition to renewable energy in Tunisia. To this end, the long and short run effects of capital deepening on the renewable energy transition were explored using the vector error correction model (VECM) and the Johansen cointegration technique, along with a linear and nonlinear causality test in the context of Tunisia for the period 1990 to 2018. In particular, we found that capital deepening contributes positively to the transition to clean energy resources. In fact, the results of the linear and nonlinear causality tests confirm a unidirectional causal relationship between capital intensity and the transition to renewable energy. This explains that the increase in capital intensity ratio conducts technical change towards renewable energy, which constitutes a capital-intensive technology. Moreover, these results enable us to draw a conclusion about the energy policies in Tunisia and the developing countries in general. In fact, the renewable energy substitution depends on capital intensity, through the development of specific energy policies, such as renewable energy policies. Gradual substitution of fossil fuel subsidies with renewable energy subsidies is essential to faster the transition to renewable energy and promote capital-intensive production methods.

“…Yang and Qi (2021) used the panel data of 48 countries along the Belt and Road to verify the relationship between agricultural product trade and carbon emissions using a stochastic frontier gravity model, with the results showing that a higher openness of agricultural product trade in countries along the Belt and Road corresponded with more carbon emissions [13]. Using carbon emission data for France from 1980 to 2020, Omri and Saadaoui (2022) concluded that trade openness increases carbon emissions, and they believe that France should reduce fossil fuel imports in order to reduce carbon emissions [22].…”

Examining the Threshold Effect of Environmental Regulation: The Impact of Agricultural Product Trade Openness on Agricultural Carbon Emissions

Agricultural product trade openness is a crucial factor impacting agricultural carbon emissions. This study analyzes the relationship between trade openness and carbon emissions in China. Using panel data from 2002 to 2020 for 31 provinces, a threshold panel model is employed to examine the non-linear relationship from an environmental regulation perspective. The findings reveal a significant single-threshold effect of environmental regulation. When environmental regulation intensity is low, trade openness is positively associated with agricultural carbon emissions. However, when environmental regulation intensity is high, trade openness significantly reduces carbon emissions. Regional regression analysis indicates that this single-threshold effect holds true in major grain-producing, grain-selling, and grain- producing- selling balance areas, although regional differences exist. This study emphasizes the need to coordinate environmental regulations and trade policies, strengthen environmental control, and leverage the threshold effect of environmental regulation in reducing carbon emissions through agricultural product trade openness.

Sustainable energy policies are directly proportional to countries' achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Economies that want to achieve their 2030 and 2050 targets are looking for alternative energy sources until renewable energy sources mature. In this context, this study models the environmental quality of France, which is the leader in the use of nuclear energy in Europe, from a different perspective through nuclear energy technologies. This study empirically uses the novel Fourier asymmetric autoregressive distributed lag approach. It confirms that increases and decreases in nuclear technology have different effects on the load capacity factor within the framework of the load capacity curve (LCC) hypothesis. It also provides evidence for the existence of the LCC hypothesis and offers sustainable energy policies for France. The French government should allocate funds to cleaner energies instead of investing in nuclear energy technologies. Thus, the long‐term transition to a low‐carbon economy can be accelerated instead of short‐term targets. By eliminating nuclear energy, a severe burden on the French economy, infrastructure can be created for alternative energy sources. Finally, the French government can gain momentum in achieving SDGs 7 and 13 by withdrawing support from nuclear energy technologies.
