“…Song et al [ 38 ] use spatial models and reveal that GDP growth and urbanization have a negative effect on renewable energy generation, while industrialization, population density, and CO 2 emissions support the energy transition in China. Tzeremes et al [ 39 ] use a panel vector autoregression model and note that ICT , GDP growth, and CO 2 emissions led to a boost in the energy transition in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.…”

In this study, given the critical role and importance of the energy transition, the effect of information and communication technologies (ICT) is researched and the levels of energy‐related research and development (R&D) investments on the energy transition index (ETI), controlling for human capital (HC), energy consumption (EC), and income (gross domestic product [GDP]) are disaggregated. Therefore, in this study, the United States of America (USA) is focused on as the world's leading economy, a total of five machine learning (ML) algorithms are performed, and the data from 2000/Q1 to 2021/Q4 are used. In the outcomes, it is shown that: 1) the multivariate adaptive regression splines approach is the best estimation algorithm among the ML approaches based on the coefficient of determination (R2), which has 85% estimation capacity for ETI; 2) ICT and EC are the most important factors for ETI, followed by renewable energy R&D investments, energy efficiency R&D investments, HC, GDP, and nuclear energy R&D investments, in that order; and 3) R&D investments in carbon capture and storage has no significant effect on ETI. In the overall results of the study, it is suggested that technological progress is central to energy transition in the USA and that environmental policies implemented for energy transition should be closely linked to technological progress.

“…Among them, CO 2 exerts extensive influence and its endof-pipe treatment is quite challenging. Due to its peculiarity, varied conclusions have been reached on the relationship between its emissions and economic growth (Fernández-Amador et al, 2017;Mardani et al, 2019;Qin et al, 2021;Waheed et al, 2019).

Financial development, carbon dioxide emissions, and sustainable development

Sustainable Development

China currently is the world's largest energy consumer and carbon dioxide emitter. How to effectively control carbon dioxide emissions and promote sustainable development is indispensable for achieving the “double carbon” goal, promoting comprehensive economic transformation and upgrading, and contributing to high‐quality economic development. There is no doubt that a large amount of financial resources need to be invested in the process of encouraging sustainable development. Therefore, what is the relationship among financial development, carbon dioxide emissions and sustainable development? Can financial development facilitate sustainable development? In order to answer these two key questions, this article uses entropy weight method, fixed effect model, and panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) model to deeply explore the static and dynamic relationship among financial development, carbon dioxide emissions and sustainable development with the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2021. The research results show that financial development is conducive to forwarding sustainable development, and the negative impact of carbon dioxide emissions on sustainable development is also significant at present. That means financial development and carbon dioxide emissions have important impact on sustainable development. The further empirical results of PVAR model show that there are significant differences in the impact of financial development and carbon dioxide emissions on sustainable development in different periods of time. Therefore, the government should take timely measures according to the different roles played by financial development and carbon dioxide emissions at different stages to promote sustainable development.

“…The observed rising trend of natural resource rent does not only indicate the increasing pace of natural resource exploration, but it also indicates the rising levels of conventional energy consumption that has led to the growing calls for a transition to an environmentally friendly resource utilization at a global level (Dogan et al, 2022; Ofori et al, 2023; Tzeremes et al, 2023). The increasing trend of natural resource rents and energy consumption have provided necessary support to the growth in global economic activities that have ushered in remarkable growth in the general welfare of the world population over the past few decades.…”

In view of the resource curse assumption, the environmental aspects of resource utilization are arguably posing more dangers to human existence. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the region that holds more than 60% and 50% of the world's oil and gas reserves respectively, the need to examine the contribution of natural resources to environmental quality among other factors cannot be overemphasized. By leveraging on the novelty of observing the differential impact of natural resources and other economic components such as income and primary energy utilizations across the quantiles of carbon emission, this study implements the quantile regression approach alongside other relevant techniques to analyze data between 1990 and 2018 for selected countries in the MENA region including Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kuwait, Qatar, Algeria, Morocco, Oman, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The result posits that natural resource utilization generally hampers the environment across the quantiles. However, this negative effect decreases until the 50th quantile before starting to rise again toward the upper quantiles. Additionally, primary energy utilization and globalization respectively worsen and improve environmental quantile, especially toward the upper quantiles while income affirms the inverted U‐shaped hypothesis across the entire quantiles. Moreover, there is a statistically significant one‐way directional causality from natural resources, economic expansion, primary energy use, and globalization to carbon emission levels. Hence, the study offers environmentally friendly resource utilization policies to the MENA economies and other resource‐rich states by extension.
