“…This trend again reverses for incomes above US$65,221. In line with existing studies, we find that GDP per capita is nonlinearly related to sustainable development (Atici, ; Salahodjaev, ). In Model 2, we add economic growth to the regression model.…”

The aim of this study to contribute to the ongoing research on the effect of female political participation on socioeconomic outcomes. In this study, we explore the link between the proportion of women in parliament and sustainable development, measured by genuine savings indicator. Our study finds that a 10 percentage point increase in the share of women in parliament is associated with an almost 1.25 percentage point increase in the genuine savings rate. In addition, using instrumental variable regression to overcome the problem of endogeneity, we find that women in parliament have causal effect on genuine savings.

“…As we have already mentioned in the "Introduction" section, public opinion may be a powerful determinant of environmental policies in a developed country (Aklin et al 2013;Bernauer and Koubi 2009). Furthermore, Salahodjaev (2016) emphasizes globalization, democracy, and the institutional environment as potential drivers of environmental sustainability. More specifically, institutional characteristics could be also important drivers in this field (Barbier 1997;Bhattarai and Hammig 2001;Deacon 1994;Norton 1998;Samuelson 1976).…”

Environmental policies are a significant cornerstone of a developed economy, but the question that arises is whether such policies lead to a sustainable growth path. It is clear that the energy sector plays a pivotal role in environmental policies, and although the current literature has focused on examining the link between energy consumption and economic growth through an abundance of studies, it does not explicitly consider the role of institutional or governance quality variables in the process. Both globalization and democracy are important drivers of sustainability, while environmentalism is essential for the objective of gaining a “better world.” Governance quality is expected to be the key, not only for economic purposes but also for the efficiency of environmental policies. To that end, the analysis in this paper explores the link between governance quality and energy efficiency for the EU-28 countries, spanning the period 1995 to 2014. The findings document that there is a nexus between energy efficiency and income they move together: the most efficient countries are in the group with higher GDP per capita. Furthermore, the results show that governance quality is an important driver of energy efficiency and, hence, of environmental policies.

“…First, resource-dependent countries should invest resource revenues heavily in human capital and social infrastructure to offset the negative effect of natural-resource dependence on human health. Salahodjaev (2016), using data for 150 countries, reports that human capital has significant positive effect on sustainable development, and IQ-sustainability relationship is conditional on the level of economic wealth. In this vein, Mehlum, Moene, and Torvik (2012) show that social spending and welfare policies allowed a resource-rich Finally, policymakers should not overlook the capacity of local government and institutions in resource management and improving quality of life developing resource-rich countries (Koku & Gustafsson, 2003;Read, 2006).…”

Natural‐resource dependence and life expectancy: A nonlinear relationship

In this paper, we revisit the link between natural resources and quality of life, measured by life expectancy over the period 1990–2011. Using fixed effect and panel‐corrected standard‐errors regression estimators we document that there is inverted U‐shaped relationship between natural‐resource dependence and longevity. This implies that in the long run, natural‐resource dependence hampers human development. This effect remains robust after a set of robustness checks.
