“…In practice, this process operates in favour of developed countries. Otherwise, the evidence of trade openness effects on environmental degradation for individual countries varies by income, possibly due to policy differences, economic structure, level of economic openness, and country-specific variations (Baek et al, 2009;Wiebe et al, 2012;Mudakkar et al, 2013;Ozturk, 2015;Khan et al, 2016). Our study pays attention, through the analysis of the inflection points between the first and second points in the N-shaped EKC, to the argument that implies that trade liberalization supports the efficient use of resources while sustainable growth essentially contributes to environmental quality .…”

This study explores the relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the so-called European Union 5 (EU-5) countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom) for the 1985-2016 period. In doing so, we employ a carbon emission function to investigate the environmental Kuznets curve phenomenon, which describes a relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation. The empirical results confirm the existence of an N-shaped relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions in the EU-5 countries. We incorporate additional variables such as renewable electricity consumption, trade openness, natural resource abundance, and energy innovation to augment the carbon emission function. Renewable electricity consumption, natural resources, and energy innovation improve environmental quality, while trade openness and the interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption exert a positive impact on CO2 emissions. This study is novel in that it presents an interaction between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption. We also confirm the need for renewable energy regulations related to increasing renewable sources and promoting energy innovation to reduce the negative effects of energy and fossil energy resources on environmental degradation.

However, studies that investigated the causal relationship between various environmental and growth indicators for Pakistan, including (Chiou-Wei et al, Zaman et al, 2011;Shahbaz et al, 2012a;Shahiduzzaman and Alam, 2012;Zaman et al, 2012;Khan et al, 2013;Mudakkar et al, 2013;Zeb et al, 2014) ignored deforestation.…”

“…Akhmat et al (2014c) in another study confirmed the variability in environmental pollutants due to the conventional usage of energy sources that alter the environment in a form to increase extreme temperature and precipitation rate in SAARC countries. Mudakkar et al (2013) supported the nuclear energy demand that derives industrial share to GDP and resources of freshwater on the cost of CO 2 emissions in Pakistan. Khan Ward et al (2014) examined the cereal yield response function across Sub-Saharan Africa and found that cereal yields declined due to climatic changes, i.e., the extent to which improvements in irrigation ameliorate the effects of GHG emissions in a region.…”

This study examines the impact of energy demand, air pollution, fossil fuel energy and greenhouse gas emissions on agricultural production in Pakistan for the period 1980-2013. The study utilized the following variables for agricultural production, i.e., agriculture value added, cotton production, wheat production, rice production and sugarcane production in Pakistan. The study employed generalized method of moments estimator to evaluate different simultaneous equations in relation to environmental factors and agricultural production in a country. The results show that CO 2 emissions have a positive and energy sources have a negative impact on agricultural value added. The fossil source of energy has a direct relationship with the cotton and sugarcane production, while CO
