“…A rise in GDP per capita contributes to LE. Our estimated positive effects of GDP per capita on health status are also in line with the studies by Wang et al (2020a) for Pakistan for the period 1972-2017, for ten countries for the 2002-2017 period, Chen et al (2021) for 20 developed and developing countries from 2004 to 2016, Salehnia et al (2022) for 100 countries for the period 2000-2018.…”

“…Table 1 provides a summary of these studies. The literature in Table 1 might be classified as follows: i) There is a consensus in the literature that environmental degradation rises infant mortality (Ecevit & Çetin, 2016;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Shobande, 2020;Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Omri et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2022;Tsai et al, 2022;Barua et al, 2022) and reduces life expectancy (Balan, 2016;Sirag et al, 2017;Matthew et al, 2018;Nkalu & Edeme, 2019;Erdoğan et al, 2019;Majeed & Khan, 2019;Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Akter et al, 2020;Hossain et al, 2020;Rodriguez-Alvarez, 2021;Murthy et al, 2021;Alimi & Ajide, 2021;Chen et al, 2021;Bouchoucha, 2021;Rjoub et al, 2021;Azam et al, 2022;Omri et al, 2022;Rahman & Alam, 2022a;Arafat et al, 2022;Radmehr & Adebayo, 2022;Salehnia et al, 2022;Ibrahim, 2022;Bayar et al, 2022). Also, Mutizwa and Makochekanwa (2015) concluded that environmental degradation does not have an impact on infant mortality.…”

“…Also, with economic growth, health status initially improves quickly but subsequently begins to decline. Depending on their level of economic development, different nations may perform better or worse than others (Baum et al, 2018;Freeman et al, 2020;Salehnia et al, 2022).…”

“…The increase in environmental pollution will adversely affect human health (Majeed & Ozturk, 2020;Mahalik et al, 2022. The positive impact of per capita income and education on life expectancy may be due to the fact that when income increases and people receive a better education, they care more about their health (Majeed & Khan, 2019;Chireshe & Ocran, 2020;Wang et al, 2020a;Chen et al, 2021;Salehnia et al, 2022). However, the DH causality test illustrates a feedback causality between LE and EPE, CO2 and EPE, GDP and EPE, education and EPE, LE and education, education and CO2, GDP and education.…”

The relationship between environment and health status has attracted intensive attention in recent years. However, limited studies have focused on environmental protection expenditure on health status. This study empirically tests the links of environmental protection expenditure with health status for 20 European countries over the period 1995-2019. For empirical analysis, this study used panel quantile regression. The empirical results show that while environmental protection expenditure, GDP, and education help to ameliorate health status, CO2 emissions worse health status. Hence, efficient environmental protection expenditure and environmental policies must align with strategies to improve health status.

“…Literature review 2.1 Theoretical literature One of the most important factors in determining the standard of living in modern civilizations is life expectancy. As a result, research into the variables that determine life expectancy is crucial for decision-makers (Salehnia et al, 2022). The literature on energy and environmental protection has given considerable attention to the factors influencing life expectancy.…”

Purpose While science has researched the impact of air pollution on human health, the economic dimension of it has been less researched so far. Renewable energy consumption is an important factor in determining the level of life expectancy and reducing health expenditure. Thus, this study aims to investigate the impact of renewable energy, carbon emissions, health expenditure and urbanization on life expectancy in G-7 countries over the period of 2000–2019. Design/methodology/approach This study has adopted a novel Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR). Furthermore, as a robustness check for MMQR, the fully modified ordinary least square, dynamic ordinary least squares and fixed effect ordinary least square estimators have been used. Findings The results indicated that renewable energy consumption, health expenditure and urbanization lead to an increase in life expectancy across all quantiles (5th to 95th), whereas higher carbon dioxide emissions reduce life expectancy at birth across all the quantiles (5th to 95th). Practical implications The empirical findings conclude that governments should recognize their potential in renewable energy sources and devise policies such as tax-related regulations, or relevant incentives to encourage further investments in this field. Originality/value This paper in comparison to the other research studies used MMQR to investigate the impact of factors affecting life expectancy. Also, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, so far no study has investigated the impact of renewable energy on life expectancy in G-7 countries.
