“…Bekun et al [12] found a negative relationship between economic growth and CO 2 emissions in South Africa. In contrary to most studies, Litavcova and Chovancova [13] obtained varying relationships between economic growth, carbon emissions, and energy consumption for 14 Danube region countries. Another study by Rahman et al [14] concluded that carbon emissions and population density had unidirectional positive effect on the economic growth in the long run, with this relation became bidirectional in the short run for five South Asian countries: Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.…”

Saudi Arabia has implemented its ambitious and comprehensive national strategy, i.e., Saudi Vision 2030, to achieve major economic, social, and environmental objectives. The main aim of this paper is to study the Granger causality relationships between economic growth, environmental degradation, and urbanization in Saudi Arabia over the period from 1985 to 2019. At first, Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron (PP) tests were applied in order to check the stationarity of the panel time-series data. Since the data were of mixed order of integration I(0) and I(1), the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) framework was employed to perform the statistical analysis. Then, the short- and long-run relationships were evaluated using the bounds test for cointegration applied on the Error Correction Models (ECMs) for GDP, CO2 emissions, and urbanization as the dependent variables. Furthermore, the direction and significance of causality were estimated in the ARDL/ECM framework. In addition, the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis was examined for the sample data. To assess the generalization capability of the findings in this study, robustness and diagnostic tests were applied. In the long-run, the empirical findings indicate that 1% increase in economic growth Granger caused 0.15% increase in CO2 emissions and 0.006% decrease in urbanization. Whereas 1% increase in urbanization Granger caused 2.5% increase in the economic growth. In the short-run, a unidirectional causal relationship existed from economic growth to both CO2 emissions and urbanization with 1% increase in GDP Granger caused 0.3% and 0.004% increases in CO2 emissions and urbanization, respectively. Finally, policy recommendations were presented in light of the Saudi Vision 2030.

“…According to the works of Odugbesan and Rjoub [55] and Litavcová and Chovancová [51], the variables GDP per capita and the level of energy consumption were logarithmized and the following abbreviations used: l_Country_GDP, l_Country_E, and the level of CO 2 consumption, as Country_CO 2 (where Country was a prefix for the analyzed country: (CZ, Czech Republic; PL, Poland; SL, Slovakia; HU, Hungary).…”

“…The development of scientific research in the discussed area also contributed to the extension of the research apparatus with more and more complex econometric models. As a result, numerous scientific publications appeared, among which these works deserved attention: Apergis and Payne [47], Bartleet and Gounder [48], Arouri et al [49], Papiez [50], Jóźwik, Gavryshkiv and Gruszecki [21], and Litavcová and Chovancová [51]. Econometric analyses of the interrelationships of variables such as GDP, CO 2 emissions, and energy consumption have been carried out all over the world, covering different countries, time periods, and using more and more refined econometric methods.…”

The main objective of the research was to determine the long-term and short-term correlation between CO2 emissions per capita, energy consumption per capita, and the level of economic growth of GDP per capita in the V4 countries. These countries, being EU members since 2004 and previously being in the sphere of influence of the Soviet Union, have introduced a number of economic reforms, but in the area of climate protection, including decarbonization, they struggle with many problems, as their economies are largely dependent on energy from non-renewable resources. The results of the research are varied, but the authors confirmed, especially in the case of Poland, the long-term correlations between the studied variables. In the short term, such interdependencies also occurred, especially between the level of energy consumption per capita and the level of CO2 emissions.

The paper aims to analyse the changing economic structure and the trends of the digitalization amplification through the prism of a dynamic multi-criteria model, assessing the strategic perspective by pivoting digitalization in the strategic equation. The main objectives of the research cover the context of vulnerability across the EUSDR countries, the solutions from the literature review and the definition, testing and implementing of a new dedicated model. The model takes into account regional indicators, reported by Eurostat. Statistical analysis procedures and methods were applied in order to capture the expected disparities under the impact of the pandemic, as well as harmonization with European Strategy for Danube Region (EUSDR) – specific impact indicators. The analysis uses la latest official statistical data from Eurostat. The importance of this scientific approach lies in the fact that the results are applicable to the wider region, the vast majority of the Danube states being EU members (9 states), 3 candidate states and 2 potential candidate states in the new geo-political and military context. States that are not yet EU members have regional and cross-border cooperation agreements with the EU. Moreover, the region itself has reacted in a unified way to the challenges of the economic and pandemic crises, the study being conducted over the period 2004–2020. In addition, EU Member States have additionally benefited from European emergency allocations to counter the effects of the global economic crisis and stem the spread of the pandemic. We used empirical and analytical methods, starting with the study of literature, data collection and consolidation of the database, its homogeneity and the application of modelling procedures. The major key findings are focused on the existence of a strong connection between investment effort, labour skills, sustainable development and the digital economy able to face new global and regional challenges. The policy implication of this research consist in offering viable elements capable of assisting regional decision-makers in adopting topical measures on digitisation and reconfiguring strategic regional connections to maintain a sustainable direction for the EUSDR. The recommendations from this study imbraca forma some directions for action related to labour high skills, digitalization, R&D investment and e-commerce.
