“…In developing countries, foreign direct investment increased carbon emission in low and LMIC host countries. The FDI inflow positively increased carbon dioxide emissions in MIC, thus PHH being true for these countries (Benli and Acar, 2021). Muhammad and Khan (2021) also conducted panel data analysis for 170 countries around the world for the period 1990 to 2018 for investigating the effect of FDI inflow and other control variable on carbon dioxide emissions.…”

PurposeCarbon dioxide emissions affect the environment, presenting major implications for sustainable development and consequently model climate change policies. The main aim of the paper is to highlight the factors leading to CO2 emissions in Latin America.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis was performed using data for 1990–2020 and panel regression and STATA software.FindingsThe results highlighted that the variables have significantly influence CO2 emissions in case of the countries in the sample.Originality/valueThe novelty of the paper consists in using all financial inflows of together (foreign direct investment, official development assistance and remittences), Latin America heavily in-flowed with remittances from the USA. Since Latin America is enriched with forest areas, the authors also covered this variable in the estimations. Urbanization and transportation are induced by remittance inflows, thus wellbeing was incorporated in the model. The conclusion of the study demonstrates the need for complex measures involving public-private partnerships, public awareness of the need for energy transition and the involvement of foreign-owned companies that must not only pursue their own interests but also generate positive economic, environmental, and social externalities in host countries.

“…Pollution Halo Hypothesis, on the other hand, is the hypothesis that greener technologies can be exported from developed countries to developing countries and production can be made without causing environmental pollution. Pollution Haven Hypothesis is also referred to as "race to the bottom", and Pollution Halo Hypothesis is also referred to as "bottom rise" (Zhang & Zhou, 2016;Benli & Acar, 2022;Zeren, 2015). In the first hypothesis, it is claimed that FDI has negative effects on the environment, and in the second, positive effects.…”

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade openness (TO) on environmental pollution. The study was conducted on Emerging Market Economies (EMEs), which are subject to flexible practices and conditions to attract trade and investment. The 1990-2020 data of 15 countries included in the IMF's EMEs category were tested with the following methods: The cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag estimator (CS ARDL), Main Group (MG), Common Correlated Effects Mean Group Estimators (CCE), Augmented Mean Group (AMG), Emirmahmutoğlu and Köse (2011) Causality Test. The variables used were FDI, TO, GDP per capita and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. According to the results of the coefficient estimators, it was found that only GDP had a significant and positive effect on CO2 in both the short and long term, and there was no significant relationship between FDI-CO2 and TO-CO2. According to the causality test results, it was determined that there is a unidirectional relationship from CO2 to FDI and from TO to CO2, and a bidirectional relationship between GDP and CO2.

“…As summarised by Rizos et al (2021, p.1-30), there is a wide literature on the relationship between the well-functioning of the judicial system and economic growth. In particular, the efficiency and quality of judicial systems resulted in influencing the size of the firms (Kumar et al, 2001;Beck et al, 2006;Giacomelli & Menon, 2013;Lorizio & Gurrieri, 2014), the foreign direct investments (Benassy-Quere et al, 2007;Bellani, 2014), and the interest rates (Levine, 1998;Djankov et al;. The Doing Business index, developed by the World Bank to measure the ease of doing business in a country, includes among the parameters the capacity to enforce contracts, which is related to the efficiency and effectiveness of the courts in resolving disputes.…”

Funding the Judiciary: how budgeting systems shape justice

How judicial organizations and courts receive funding from the state budget, manage it, and account for their expenditures is crucial for ensuring the independence and proper functioning of the judiciary. Surprisingly, budgeting remains a neglected topic in studies on the management of judges and court organizations in Europe. In the early days of the New Public Management movement, budgets played a pivotal role in enhancing planning, policy development, and accountability in public administration. However, many European Union Member States' judicial organizations did not adapt to these new management techniques, especially in budgetary planning. Often, budgets were based solely on historical costs. In recent years, some countries have adopted performance-based budgeting models for their judicial organizations and courts. These models link organizational costs, outputs, policy development, resource allocation, performance targets, managerial discretion, and accountability. This study examines the performance budgeting models in Italy, Finland, and the Netherlands. Italy employs a national program budget, but court fund allocation often relies on historical criteria. Finland utilizes a weighted caseload system and is in the process of negotiating fund allocations. The Netherlands uses a detailed "costs per type of case" calculation to determine budget needs based on the number of cases decided. The findings suggest that transparent and objective funding criteria result in more rational resource allocation, improving the performance of court organizations without unduly pressuring judges. Effective organization appears to be a critical factor for these funding models' success. These funding models can serve as examples for other countries looking to reform their judiciary's budgetary processes. Importantly, they underscore the significance of rational and transparent funding criteria for maintaining both independence and accountability within the judicial system, ensuring equal treatment for all citizens under the law.
