“…This variable is measured by the ratio of urban coal consumption to total energy consumption. (4) Science and education expenditure (scedu).Increasing investment in science and education yields multiple benefits, including the promotion of green innovation, improvement of economic structure, enhancement of energy efficiency, and consequent influence on carbon emission efficiency [52]. It is expressed by the ratio of science and education expenditure to GDP.…”

To foster economic and social development, many countries have adopted entrepreneurship promotion policies. However, existing research on entrepreneurship promotion policy primarily focuses on its employment incentive effect, while neglecting to examine the underlying impact mechanism and its effect on environmental sustainability. Based on the quasi-natural experiment of China's National Entrepreneurial Pilot Cities, this paper employs the difference-in-differences model to examine the impact of the National Entrepreneurial Cities pilot policy on urban carbon emission efficiency. The study finds that China's National Entrepreneurial Cities pilot policy has generally impaired urban carbon emission efficiency, and a series of robustness tests show that the results are robust. National Entrepreneurial Cities pilot policy decreases urban carbon emission efficiency by increasing the proportion of necessity entrepreneurship, inhibiting the upgrading of industrial structure, and increasing overcapacity. The government's environmental concerns and the public's environmental concerns play a prominent role in improving the adverse impact of the National Entrepreneurial Cities on carbon emission efficiency and mainly play a significant role in central and western cities, cities with low per capita GDP, cities with high economic growth pressure, and resource-dependent cities. The research of this paper provides a reference for the government to promote entrepreneurship while taking environmental effects into account.

“…In the context of environmental impact assessment, GDP per capita serves as a metric to gauge the influence of household appliances on the environment. In their study, Ozyilmaz et al 33 discuss the impact of public expenditures and their sub-components on environmental pollution in G-7 countries. The study suggests that public spending has a positive impact on reducing environmental pollution.…”

Within the intricate interplay of socio-economic, natural and anthropogenic factors, haze pollution stands as a stark emblem of environmental degradation, particularly in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region. Despite significant efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, several SAARC nations consistently rank among the world’s most polluted. Addressing this critical research gap, this study employs robust econometric methodologies to elucidate the dynamics of haze pollution across SAARC countries from 1998 to 2020. These methodologies include the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimator, Panel two-stage least squares (TSLS), Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and Dumitrescu–Hurlin (D–H) causality test. The analysis reveals a statistically significant cointegrating relationship between PM2.5 and economic indicators, with economic development and consumption expenditure exhibiting positive associations and rainfall demonstrating a mitigating effect. Furthermore, a bidirectional causality is established between temperature and economic growth, both influencing PM2.5 concentrations. These findings emphasize the crucial role of evidence-based policy strategies in curbing air pollution. Based on these insights, recommendations focus on prioritizing green economic paradigms, intensifying forest conservation efforts, fostering the adoption of eco-friendly energy technologies in manufacturing and proactively implementing climate-sensitive policies. By embracing these recommendations, SAARC nations can formulate comprehensive and sustainable approaches to combat air pollution, paving the way for a healthier atmospheric environment for their citizens.
