“…Reviews by Aldy (2006) or Lee and Chang (2009) have explored the carbon emissions movement of the developed, and industrialized countries and non-stability of the developing countries was assessed through the stationarity testing procedure proposed by Carrion-i-Silvestre et al (2009). Several studies tested the stationarity properties of carbon emissions (e.g., Romero-Avila 2008;Ahmed et al 2016). Christidou et al (2013) applied a non-linear panel unit root test confirming the stationary for 33 nations during 1870-2006.…”

The main contribution of the present study to the energy literature is to explore the relationship between economic growth and pollution emission amidst globalization. In contrast to the existing studies, this research examines the effects of economic and social isolation as dimensions of globalization. The present paper allows underpinning the impact on the Chinese economic development of the isolation phenomenon as a consequence of coronavirus (COVID-19). To this end, annual time-frequency data is used to achieve the hypothesized claims. The study resolutions include (1) the existence of a long-run association between the outlined variables; (2) the long-run estimates suggest that the Chinese economy, over the investigated period, is inelastic to pollutant-driven economic growth; and (3) the Chinese isolation is less responsive to its economic growth while the country political willpower is elastic as demonstrated by a government commitment to dampen the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. This confinement is marked by the aggressive response by the government officials resolute by flattening the exponential impact of the pandemic. Based on these robust results, some far-reaching policy implications are underlined in the concluding remarks section.

This study proposes the time-varying nonlinear panel unit root test to investigate the convergence of ecological foot prints between the EU and candidate countries. Sixteen European countries (such as Albania, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Turkey) and analysis periods are selected according to data availability. This study proposes a cross-sectional Panel KSS with Fourier to test the convergence of the ecological footprints. Then, we combine this methodology with the rolling window method to take into account the time-varying stationarity of series. This study evaluated sub-components of ecological footprints separately and provided more comprehensive findings for the ecological footprint. According to empirical findings, this study proves that convergence or divergence does not show continuity over time. On the other side, this study points out the presence of divergence draws attention when considering the properties of the sub-components in general. As a result, this study shows that international policies by EU countries are generally accepted as successful to reduce ecological footprint, but these are not sufficient as expected. In this point, it is suggested to keep national policies to support international policies in the long term.

“…In this context, the literature on the issue of carbon dioxide emissions convergence has been extensively explored in the literature, as documented in the survey articles by Pettersson et al (2014), Acar et al (2018, and Payne (2020). 3 In general, the evidence from large multi-country studies on the convergence of per capita carbon dioxide emissions has been generally mixed (see Nguyen Van, 2005;Aldy, 2006;Ezcurra, 2007a;Westerlund and Basher, 2008;Nourry, 2009;Panopoulou and Pantelidis, 2009;Brock and Taylor, 2010;Ordas Criado and Grether, 2011;Herrerias, 2013;Li and Lin, 2013;Acaravci and Erdogan, 2016;Ahmed et al 2017;Brannlund et al 2017;Churchill et al 2018;Rios and Gianmoena, 2018;Haider and Akram, 2019;and Fernandez-Amador et al 2019). However, studies focused on countries grouped by institutional structure, income classification, and geographic region lend greater support for convergence in per capita carbon dioxide emissions (see Strazicich and List, 2003;Barassi et al 2008Barassi et al , 2011Barassi et al , 2018Chang, 2008, 2009;Romero-Avila, 2008;Jobert et al 2010;Herrerias, 2012; 3 While we focus our attention on per capita carbon dioxide emissions, a number of studies have investigated other types of emissions.…”

This exploratory study extends the literature on the convergence of per capita carbon dioxide emissions in analyzing the stochastic and club convergence within a panel framework for developing countries. The results from Pesaran ( 2007) and Bai and Carrion-i-Silvestre ( 2009) panel unit root tests with allowance for cross-sectional dependence confirm stochastic convergence for low-income, lower-middle income, and combined country panels. Further analysis using the nonlinear time-varying factor model of Phillips and Sul (2007; to test for convergence reveals the emergence of multiple convergence clubs within each of the three country panels examined. We observe geographic proximity among many of the countries within the respective convergence clubs.
