“…However, increasing the square of GDP by 1% will reduce CO 2 emissions by 0.438% (FMOLS) and 0.411% (DOLS). This finding is consistent with the studies of [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 91 ].…”

“…Recent studies (such as [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ] supported the validity of EKC hypothesis but was invalid in these studies (such as [ 15 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Furthermore, these studies appear to establish a different pattern of connection between economic growth and its environmental degradation, such as connection could be a U-shaped, N-shaped, and inverted-N shaped patterns which indicates that the environmental degradation could not be addressed automatically by economic growth.…”

Despite the drive for increased environmental protection and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), coal, oil, and natural gas use continues to dominate Japan’s energy mix. In light of this issue, this research assessed the position of natural gas, oil, and coal energy use in Japan’s environmental mitigation efforts from the perspective of sustainable development with respect to economic growth between 1965 and 2019. In this regard, the study employs Bayer and Hanck cointegration, fully modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS), and dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) to investigate these interconnections. The empirical findings from this study revealed that the utilization of natural gas, oil, and coal energy reduces the sustainability of the environment with oil consumption having the most significant impact. Furthermore, the study validates the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis in Japan. The outcomes of the Gradual shift causality showed that CO2 emissions can predict economic growth, while oil, coal, and energy consumption can predict CO2 emissions in Japan. Given Japan’s ongoing energy crisis, this innovative analysis provides valuable policy insights to stakeholders and authorities in the nation’s energy sector.

“…Esen and Dündar ( 2021 ) used the same methods for Turkey and found that energy taxes have a reducing effect on CO 2 emissions. Akkaya and Hepsag ( 2021 ), unlike Sarıgül and Topçu ( 2021 ) and Esen and Dündar ( 2021 ), examined the subject with nonlinear time series analysis. According to the empirical results obtained from the study, there is no relationship between fuel tax and CO 2 emissions in Turkey.…”

This article presents a nonlinear analysis in Turkey on the effect of an environmental tax (ET) on the ecological footprint (EFP) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions. In the literature, most of the studies examining the effects of environmental taxes (ETs) on environmental degradation (ED) have used linear methods. The number of studies examining this relationship with nonlinear methods is few. However, there is no study examining the long-run effects of ETs on the EFP, which is one of the most important indicators of ED, using nonlinear analysis. This study contributes to the literature by investigating the long-run effects of ETs on EFP and CO 2 emissions in Turkey by nonlinear analysis. Therefore, the model consisting of annual data for the period 1994–2019 was estimated by Dufrénot et al. (2006) nonlinear cointegration test. According to the estimation results obtained, ETs do not have any long-run effects on EFP and CO 2 emissions. Accordingly, it can be concluded that ETs in Turkey do not affect preventing ED.

“…In a comprehensive examination of the relationship between ET and CO 2 emissions in Turkey, Sarıgül and Topçu [74], and Shahbaz et al [75] conducted an analysis using annual data spanning from 1994 to 2015, employing both fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) techniques, consistently demonstrating that ETs exerted a notable mitigating effect on CO 2 emissions. In contrast, Akkaya and Hepsag [76] adopted a distinctive approach, employing nonlinear time series analysis to investigate the subject and the discernible relationship between fuel taxes and CO 2 emissions in Turkey. This divergence underscores the intricacies of the relationship, warranting further exploration and consideration of nonlinear dynamics.…”

This research endeavors to investigate the impacts of information and communication technology, green technological innovation, and environmental tax on the attainment of ecological sustainability with advanced panel date estimation for 2001–2019. The results of this study demonstrate a noteworthy inverse relationship between information and communication technology and ecological footprint, suggesting that progress in ICT has the potential to yield positive consequences in terms of ecological restoration and the promotion of environmental sustainability. Furthermore, this study underscores the significance of GTI in mitigating carbon emissions and effectively addressing environmental challenges. The findings indicate that the incorporation of environmentally sustainable technology can yield favorable ecological consequences and make significant contributions towards the attainment of worldwide climate targets. Nevertheless, the study highlights the importance of considering potential rebound effects. It underscores the imperative for ongoing research and the implementation of comprehensive policies within the realm of environmentally sustainable technology. Moreover, the present study elucidates the favorable ramifications of GF on ecological sustainability, underscoring its pivotal contribution in curtailing carbon emissions, augmenting environmental benchmarks, and facilitating the ecological footprint. Enhancing the utilization of green finance, making adjustments to national regulatory frameworks, and achieving harmonization of public financial incentives to bolster sustainable development are important. Additionally, the study posits that the incorporation of ET can catalyze businesses and individuals to embrace environmentally friendly energy sources and sustainable practices, thereby fostering positive outcomes for the environment. The study offers significant insights into the contributions of information and communication technology, green technology innovation, and environmental technology to advancing ecological sustainability. It emphasizes the need for collaborative endeavors among academia, industry, and government to cultivate a supportive ecosystem for sustainable development.
