Do remittance and renewable energy affect CO₂ emissions? An empirical evidence from selected G-20 countries

Abstract

The study aims to compare CO2 emissions, renewable energy, trade openness, gross domestic product (GDP), financial development (FD), and remittance in selected G-20 countries. The study carried out fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) models for estimation covering annual data from the year 1990–2019. LM tests detected the cross-section dependency while stationarity of the variables was checked through Levin-Lin-Chu and Im-Pesaran-Shin tests along with Hansen's Covariate-Augmented Dickey Fuller (CADF) test in the presence of cross-section dependency. The panel unit root tests reported that all variables became stationary after converting them into the first difference. The Panel Cointegration and Wester-Lund test examined the existence of long-run equilibrium nexus among selected variables in the context of G-20 countries. The study's findings show that there is a significant and negative relationship between renewable energy and CO2 emissions. It was proven in two models that the economic growth of selected G-20 countries has a positive relationship with CO2 emissions. Furthermore, findings indicate that the coefficient of financial development is positive and significantly impacts CO2 emissions. The remittances have a significant positive effect on CO2 emissions, while trade openness has an insignificant impact on CO2 emissions in both models. This research will enlighten policymakers, researchers, governments, and environmentalists toward attaining a sustainable environment by wisely consuming remittances and renewable energy resources.

Role of Social Media Marketing Activities in Influencing Customer Intentions: A Perspective of a New Emerging Era

“…Operators of social networks must identify the reason propelling continued use of social network sites, alongside attracting more users. Nevertheless, previous studies on information systems in the last two decades have mainly concentrated on behavior–cognition approaches, for instance, the technology acceptance model (TAM), theory of planned behavior (TPB), and theory of reasoned action (TRA) with their variants ( Tarsakoo and Charoensukmongkol, 2020 ; Jamil et al, 2021b ). According to Ismail et al (2018) , perceived use and satisfaction positively impact a user’s continuance intention.…”

Impact of Role Conflict on Intention to Leave Job With the Moderating Role of Job Embeddedness in Banking Sector Employees

“…Second, employees who have built up social capital can better identify and negotiate administrative support services, such as organizational work-life balance programs, feel more comfortable accessing these services, and obtaining supervisor support. In a recent study, researchers found that some employees are hesitant to use organizational support services and that employee use of family friendly corporate resources can be influenced by the quality of employee-manager relations (Jamil et al, 2021b). Workers with a greater degree of link embeddedness had an easier time implementing current ameliorative measures, resulting in a reduction in the experience of stress resulting from work and family conflict compared to employees with a lower level of link embeddedness.…”

Mediating Role of Green Supply Chain Management Between Lean Manufacturing Practices and Sustainable Performance

“…Loyalty products and services mark a differentiation from other providers and thus also add value. Customers play an important and efficient role in developing innovative manufacturing systems, which led to the development of the lean manufacturing concept (Jamil et al, 2021b ). Good customer relationships lead to the importance of the dissemination of environmental and social manufacturing practices that can improve social and ecological performance.…”

“…Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, which contributes to climate change and is a worldwide issue. Reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is one way to combat global warming and pollution (Jamil et al, 2021b ). As a consequence of reducing waste, lean manufacturing may assist in reducing pollution since it reduces cycle times and increases resource utilization.…”
