“…Significant advances in resource usage, international trade, socioeconomic circumstances consumption, and the economy's production process are frequently attributed to structural changes. In line with the research of Ali et al ( 2020 ) in Pakistan, which was the first empirical study to scrutinize the effect of structural change and economic expansion on CO 2 , the current work takes a step further by assessing the influence of SVD and REN on CO 2 while controlling for the effects of GDP and NREN in Turkey from 1965 to 2019. It is also essential to investigate the impact of energy utilization on the degradation of the environment, since the transition from a high-energy-consuming industrial sector to a low-energy-consuming sector might result in a reduction in energy utilization in the manufacturing process.…”

“…In comparison with agriculture, the industrial sector produces pollution. People expect greater quality of the environment as their income rises; as a result, a shift toward the service sector may be seen (Ali et al, 2020 ). Similarly, it is argued that a shift from an emission-based to an information-based economy might, in the long term, ameliorate damage to the environment (Panayotou, 1997 ).…”

Graphical abstract A plethora of studies have shown that structural change helps nations achieve socioeconomic growth. The influence of structural change on environmental quality, on the other hand, has yet to be thoroughly investigated. As a result, the current study assesses the asymmetric impact of structural change on CO 2 emissions while controlling for the effects of economic progress, renewable energy utilization, and nonrenewable energy in Turkey. To this end, this research used yearly data stretching from 1965 to 2019. The study applied several econometric approaches including nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (NARDL) and spectral causality to assess these associations. The outcomes from the NARDL reveal that variations in the regressors have a nonlinear influence on CO 2 in Turkey. Moreover, the transition in the economy’s structure helps to boost ecological quality, while the findings also show that Turkey’s current economic progress trajectory is unsustainable due to the country’s reliance on fossil fuel-based energy consumption. The outcomes of the spectral causality test also show that structural change can predict CO 2 emissions in Turkey at different frequencies. Based on the study findings, the government should encourage investment in the service sector in order to maintain a suitable level of environmental sustainability.

“…They have found a negative effect of service's share in GDP on energy intensity but no significant effect was discovered from industry share to energy intensity for China. Ali et al (2019) examined the linkage between structural change and energy use in Malaysia. The Granger causality result revealed that structural change and energy consumption have bidirectional causality with each other in the short run.…”

Despite the ongoing research on energy efficiency and innovation in the context of Industry 4.0, little is known on how degree of leakages in economy can impact the energy efficiency-innovation association. This issue has been addressed by the United Nations in their Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) report also. In the era of Industry 4.0, this issue can be crucial from the perspective of sustainable development, and we are analyzing this issue in case of Middle East and North African (MENA) countries over a period of 1990-2016. The secondgeneration methodological approaches have been adopted. Our results show that technological innovation has a positive impact on energy efficiency, whereas growth in shadow economy has a detrimental impact on energy efficiency. The structural transformation of economy has positive impact on energy efficiency. Based on our results, we have designed an SDG framework, which might help the MENA countries to achieve the objectives of SDG 7, SDG 8, SDG 9, and SDG 4.

“…Empirical findings have shown that the coefficient values are not significant and even positive with CO2 emissions at different quantile levels. Further, Ali et al (2019) have investigated the Kuznets curve of Malaysia over a period of 1985 to 2016 by using the ARDL method. The results have suggested that improved technology can lead to a cleaner environment.…”

This research paper attempts to investigate both the long-run and causality relationship among electric power consumption (EPC), technological transfer, financial development (FD), and environmental quality for the Saudi Arabia (KSA) economy from 1980 to 2019. In doing so, we propose a carbon emission function tested by incorporating multi-steps techniques such as autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) has been exploited to determine the existence of cointegration or no; while vector error correction model (VECM) has been applied to decide the direction of causality. In this paper we have proposed two proxies of technological transfer, namely imported technology (MT) and Technical cooperation grants (TCG). The results indicate the existence of cointegration between the concerned series. Besides, the existence of a feed-back effect among variables (except TCG) in the long-run. However, in the short run feed-back effect exists among EPC and EnvQ; MT and EnvQ; EPC and MT. Thus, the paper provides original visions for policy makers to encourage the technological transfer by financing and supporting the electric energy sector which constitutes the main locomotive to improve the environment quality for the KSA.JEL classification : C32, C52, O11, Q43
