“…The findings showed that financial development increases the emissions of CO2. These studies include (Boutabba, 2014;Jamel & Maktouf, 2017;Li, Zhang, & Ma, 2015;Ozturk & Acaravci, 2013;Saboori, Sulaiman, & Mohd, 2012;Zhang, 2011), while some studies found a negative relationship between financial development and CO2 emissions. These studies include (Mulali, Tang, & Oztur, 2015;Saidi & Mbarek, 2017;Xing, Jiang, & Ma, 2017).…”

“…During the last few years, many researchers have conducted surveys on the issue of "Impact of Financial Development on Carbon Emission." For instance, (Ayeche, Barhoumi, & Amin, 2016;Başarir & Çakir, 2015;Farhani & Ozturk, 2015;Li, Zhang, & Ma, 2015;Mugableh, 2015) concluded that financial development increases the level of carbon emissions. Two main factors can elaborate on the impact of financial development on environmental degradation.…”

Remittances inflow plays a significant role in promoting the economic welfare of a country; it has a multidimensional effect on the economy and links with the carbon emissions. This study examines the possible asymmetric transmissions from remittances to carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) in China using time series data from 1980 to 2014. The Non-linear NARDL method is employed to check the longrun asymmetric relationship between remittances inflow and carbon emissions. The findings show that a positive shock in remittances causes an increase in CO2 emissions, while a negative shock in remittances causes a decrease in CO2 emissions. The results support the existence of an asymmetric cointegrating relationship between remittances and CO2 emissions in both short run and the long run. The NARDL dynamic multiplier graph assumes that positive remittances shocks are highe compared to the negative remittances shocks. It suggests that policymakers in China should consider remittances as a policy instrument especially designing strategies and policies related to sustainable environmental quality in the long run.

“…Following previous studies, SO 2 and TSP emission intensity, SO 2 and TSP emissions per capita, and SO 2 and TSP emissions per unit area were calculated to measure air pollution [ 44 – 47 ]. Pollution intensity refers to the indicator of pollution emissions per industrial gross domestic product (GDP) (industrial economic output).…”

BackgroundExogenous stressors resulting from air pollution can lead to depression and chronic disease. Chinese levels of air pollution are among the highest in the world, and although associated adverse health effects are gradually emerging, research determining individual vulnerability is limited. This study estimated the association between air pollution and depressive symptoms and identified whether chronic disease influences an individual’s susceptibility to depressive symptoms relating to air pollution.MethodsIndividual sample data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and a group of city-level variables in 2011 and 2013 were used with the random effects model and Tobit model. Adjustments were made for demographic, socioeconomic status, health behavior, and city-level climate variables with respect to living areas. Analysis was also stratified using chronic disease characteristics.ResultsThe total Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale evaluating depressive symptoms ranged between 7 and 28 [average 11.623 (SD = 4.664)]. An 1% increase in sulfur dioxide and total suspended particulate emission intensities was associated with depressive symptoms scores that were 1.266 (SE = 0.107, P < 0.001, 95% CI 1.057–1.475) and 1.318 (SE = 0.082, P < 0.001, 95% CI 1.157–1.480) higher, respectively. Compared to respondents without chronic disease, those with chronic diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes or high blood sugar, cardiovascular diseases, cancer or malignant tumor, liver disease, chronic lung diseases, kidney disease, stomach or other digestive disease, arthritis or rheumatism, and asthma had scores that were higher for depressive symptoms.ConclusionsResults confirm that the adverse health effects of air pollution should be considered when developing air pollution policies. Findings also provide justification for mental health interventions targeting air pollution exposure, especially for people with chronic diseases.

“…The sustainable lifestyle is subordinated to the living conditions, which is why the ecological economy is promoted, which comes as a result of implementing the economic sustainability. An ecological economy requires the creation of renewable resources and permanent monitoring of the emissions that cause a negative environmental impact [7]. The results of the economic entity are according to the economic sustainability, closely related to the environment and social sustainability [1].…”

The influences resulted from the strategy of sustainable development of a country represents a challenge for both the research and all those interested. This paper researches how the non-financial information is relevant in reflecting the sustainability of Romanian economic entities’ performances. In this context, reference is made to the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) and to the extent that the economic entities listed at the stock exchange draft sustainable reports in compliance with the international reporting requirements. The hypotheses formulated are related to the specific characteristics of the economic entities listed on the BVB. The research was done on a sample consisting of all economic entities contained by the International Reporting System of Issuers (IRIS) platform of the BVB, the sustainable reporting was analysed through the Pearson correlation coefficient and the ANOVA test. Following the research, results were obtained that made it possible to validate/invalidate the hypotheses. One of the specific characteristics that has been noted refers to the size of the economic entity; this has been shown to influence the extent to which the sustainable report drafted complies with the requirements of the international reporting frame.
