“…Despite similarities to past research, there are reasons to believe that the dynamics for per capita CO 2 emission as a function of labor productivity will differ from those of pollution and income or other indicators (e.g. Shen et al, 2021b). Also, the samples (OECD countries and China) we choose are different from most other studies.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the challenges involved in the trade-offs of labor productivity and per capita carbon dioxide (CO2) emission.Design/methodology/approachIn this research, we used a balanced dataset of 36 OECD countries and China between 1990 and 2018. We examined the relationship between labor productivity and per capita CO2 emission for OECD countries and China based on an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Further, the fixed effects model of estimation was employed to examine the impact of variables during the sample period and explore the relationship between predictor and outcome variables within an entity while controlling for all time-invariant differences.FindingsThis study confirmed the existence of the N-shape EKC hypothesis in 36 OECD countries and China. This implies that at the initial development stage, per capita CO2 emission increased with labor productivity; however, after reaching certain threshold, per capita CO2 emission began to fall with rising labor productivity. Then the per capita CO2 emission rises again when labor productivity continually increases.Originality/valueIn this study, we explored the dynamic association between labor productivity and per capita CO2 emissions for 36 OECD countries and China under the EKC framework from 1990 to 2018 by using the labor productivity and per capita CO2 emission as economic and environmental indicators of one country respectively. This study’s contribution showed the following: first, the empirical findings confirmed the N-shape relationship between labor productivity and per capita CO2 emissions for 36 OECD countries and China; second, the findings demonstrated that the association among the underlying variables by testing through the fixed effect model.

“…Recently, many scholars have paid attention to it and applied it to empirical research. For example, Shen et al [32], Luo et al [33], Nakaishi et al [34], Chou et al [35], and Chou and Zhang [39]havesuccessful applications. Similar to these literature, this study uses metafrontier analysis as an exploratory tool for further estimation in case of the textile industry.…”

The meta-frontier approach can mathematically understand the production dynamics. With the help of meta-frontier approach differences, the efficiency of income and earnings between companies with different structure can be estimated. Considering the great influence of independent directors on the economic market, this study estimated such effects from the perspective of production function models. It is found that the revenue efficiency results can be optimized without considering the technology heterogeneity for listed companies. When considering the common production boundary, there is an issue that the revenue efficiency of listed companies that own official independent directors is lower than other listed companies that without official independent directors, and the empirical results show that the withdrawal of official independent directors in the market has a positive impact on the profitability of the company.

“…However, as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases and a member of the OECD, the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement at the expense of the global environment in 2017. Its refusal to bear the responsibility for reducing emissions has an important impact on emission reduction cooperation internationally (Shen et al, 2021a). In addition, although carbon, energy, and raw material efficiency in OECD countries has increased overall, consumption is still huge, and there are differences by country and sector.…”

This study analyzes the economic and environmental performance of OECD countries over 2000–2019. A by-production approach is applied and the efficiency score is decomposed into its economic and environmental components. Unlike previous studies, we apply a refined model that allows for the correct modeling of by-production technology. The refined model can provide clear economic illustrations for balancing economic growth and environmental protection. The results indicate that environmental inefficiency is higher than the potential economic improvement. The environmental efficiency of OECD countries is improving, while economic performance is worsening over time. Therefore, instead of highly polluting energy, clean energy should be used to build a low-carbon economy. Worldwide, carbon-emitting countries and developed countries should shoulder their responsibilities to reduce carbon emissions and provide emission reduction funds for developing countries, while simultaneously sharing the green production technologies needed to reduce emissions.
