“…Every time that CO 2 emissions were included, a positive relationship with economic growth occurred in harmony with the many of the previous literature (Balsalobre-Lorente and Leitão 2020 ; Yiew et al 2021 ; Hongxing et al 2021 ; Iqbal et al 2022 ). However, a concern is that temperature and rainfall decrease are insignificant when pollution is joined, model has lower AIC, and there is no cointegration.…”

The need for a cleaner environment and wealthier economies has been highly recognized by European Union (EU) policymakers of the last years, as evidenced by the creation of a plethora of laws and regulations for reducing carbon dioxide emissions while promoting the economic prosperity of EU countries. Indeed, many works have been done in this field, remarking on climate change’s impacts on economies and the need for determinant environmental policies inside the EU. This paper investigates the effect of climate change on economic growth using nonlinear dynamic panel methods for 15 countries of the EU in the period 1981–2019. Specifically, it is examined the impact of temperature, precipitation, and CO2 emissions on economic growth. So, autoregressive distributed lags (ARDL) methods were employed, overcoming cross-dependency and also considering linearity and nonlinearity. The results showed that economic growth has positive nonlinear relationship with long-run temperature, but in short-run they have a symmetric negative association. Moreover, precipitation has long-run negative and a short-run positive relationship with economic growth. However, when CO2 emissions are added, then model’s performance is decreased, and precipitation has a positive effect on economic growth, but all others, except from temperature increase, become insignificant. Finally, actions should be taken for more stable climate conditions and consistent environmental policies by EU countries. Graphical abstract

“…The effect of a group of pollution and economic variables (including carbon emissions) on economic growth was analyzed by Yiew et al ( 2021 ) for G-20 countries from 1995 to 2014. The use of PMG and FMOLS estimations confirmed the positive influence of pollution on economic growth, while CO2 pollution had the greatest impact on it.…”

“…According to studies, air pollution and economic growth are positively correlated in the GCC countries. [24,25] found that economic growth has a positive effect on CO2 emissions and a negative effect on energy consumption. In return, energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions [26].…”

This article explores the intricate relationship between environmental degradation, specifically air pollution, and economic growth in the Sultanate of Oman spanning the period from 1990 to 2022. We employ cointegration and vector error correction models to uncover both short- and long-term dynamics in the association between air pollution and economic growth. Fur-thermore, Granger causality analysis is utilized to investigate the causal links between these crucial variables. This data encompasses factors related to environmental quality and various control variables. The empirical results unveil a sustained long-term cointegration connection between the variables. Additionally, our findings highlight a statistically significant positive impact of economic growth and energy consumption on CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the short-term analysis reveals an annual adjustment of approximately 14.1% in N2O emissions dis-equilibrium. The Granger causality study indicates unidirectional causal relationships involving N2O emissions, economic growth, and CO2 emissions. The implications of these findings for Oman's policy landscape are substantial. To effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it is imperative for Oman to establish robust climate change policies. Additionally, the government can play a pivotal role in encouraging and endorsing the use of renewable energy sources, such as green hydrogen, as a promising alternative to traditional oil and gas resources.

“…Approximately 80% of G20 countries' energy supply is from oil and coal which has been on the rise (Habib et al, 2021). G20 countries are also among the top emitters of greenhouse gases and are responsible for almost three‐quarters of global GHGs, especially CO 2 (Erdogan et al, 2020; Yiew et al, 2021).…”

The present study investigates the impact of environmental stringency and strategic behavior of G20 countries for the period of 1990–2019 using Porter and Pollution‐Haven hypotheses as frameworks to understand the potential for eco‐innovation or pollution‐paradises. Mediation Effect of Research and Development and Foreign Direct Investment are investigated between exports of environmentally sensitive goods and environmental stringency with DOLS method of estimation. Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is used to analyze the relationship of growth and environmental degradation with reference to strategic behavior of the G20. Results show that majority of G20 countries are practicing the Porter Hypothesis. Overall, the findings suggest that sustainability is a critical consideration in balancing trade potential and environmental impact. The article offers a novel contribution to the field of environmental economics by comprehensively analyzing the connections between environmental regulations and strategic behaviors of the G20 countries with special reference to trade of sensitive goods.
