“…The results suggest that central bank focus on reducing inflation will further spur economic growth in the region. Current findings are supported by observations from Mallik and Chowdhury (2001), Azam Khan and Khan (2018), Thanh (2014) and Khan and Senhadji (2001).…”

This study’s main objective is to assess the relative importance of fiscal and monetary policies on the Asia-Pacific Economies. We have empirically investigated both the original St. Louis equation and its expanded version to study the comparative relevance of one over the other. Our empirical results indicate that both monetary and fiscal policies are essential in promoting economic growth. In both models, monetary policy is more effective than fiscal policy. In the expanded St. Louis model, exports, exchange rate and inflation variables substantially impact gross domestic product than the conventional monetary and fiscal measures.

“…Asian countries must improve their green manufacturing capabilities to maintain sustainable development. [31][32][33][34][35] In general, Asian environmental studies have focused on time-series analysis at the country level to provide macro guidance for a sustainable economy, whereas studies on the pollution-income debate still need to be well explored across regions and industries. 7,36,37 Inspired by the existing literature, this study considers overlooked regional characteristics, such as administrative ranking, in examining the EKC, 37 which can provide practical guidance for green transformation in regions to enrich Asian EKC studies.…”

Green-production transitions and hazardous industrial discharge: A regional case study from China

Green production, which reduces hazardous industrial discharges per unit output, is promoted throughout China. The Environmental Kuznets Curve suggests a negative correlation between hazardous industrial discharge and economic growth due to green innovation. This study expanded the EKC framework by including heterogeneity in evaluating the relationship between hazardous industrial discharges and economic growth to reflect green transformation. Administrative ranking disparity is identified as one of the fundamental driving forces of green production transition in a developing country. Building on an enriched EKC framework, we used a spatial estimation model to exclude spatial effects and obtained accurate estimates of the classified regions. The modified research method was used to examine whether industrial pollution has been reduced in 267 cities and towns in China from 2007 to 2021. Environmental protection performance was examined to estimate whether there is a switch to green manufacturing. As industrial hazards are of different types, the author sought to determine whether there was a decrease in industrial sulphur dioxide emissions, wastewater, solid waste, or dust, even though more industrial hazards were recycled than before. The spatial estimates indicated that (a) the national level of pollution remains positively linked with the total output, and every percentage of output growth increases sulphur dioxide emissions by 444.573 tons; (b) a positive relationship between economic growth and wastewater is altered by environmental protection in cities, while the general decoupling between economic growth and other types of industrial pollution, such as solid waste and industrial dust, was not observed; (c) growth in the southeast was decoupled from sulphur emissions, and its sulphur dioxide production per unit of output increased to 0.021 tons. Sulphur dioxide emissions per unit of economic growth along the southeast coast were 379. 048 tons, which was well below the overall average of 444.573 tons. High-income towns along the southeast coast have achieved clean production breakthroughs, realising a 15% reduction in industrial sulphur dioxide emissions by 2021. Although there were signs of a shift toward clean manufacturing in high administrative ranking cities, most regions of China are transitioning to environmentally friendly manufacturing and suffer from the hardships of green production transformation.

“…From the late 80 th scientists all over the World the questions of air pollutions sharply aroused (Khan et al, 2020), (Cai et al, 2018). Thus, Seinfeld said that urban air pollution is comprised of a highly complex mixture of gaseous and particulate components.…”

The paper’s theoretical significance is based on the system conceptual view concerning GDP growth under environmental restrictions. The primary point of the paper is how environmental constraints restrict or push up GDP growth. The authors evaluate the nature of the interdependence between GDP growth and carbon dioxide emission, wastes, effluent emission, nitrogen effluent emission, emissions in total for the 2000-2018. GDP growth scenarios until 2030 were built under the emissions and waste reduction targets (+-20% from the existing level). The authors use the Kaya equation methodology for the modelling GDP under environmental constraints. There is a negative trend towards a decline in the ecological investments impact on Russia's GDP. It is necessary to carefully analyze the possible reasons for reducing the impact of the ecological investments on GDP. Total emissions and CO2 emissions strongly correlated with total investments in air protection to the GDP; these emissions have the most influence on the GDP level. The investments in water and land protection will grow until 2030. The paper approved the results from previous researchers that the results indicate that most of the variations in CO2 emissions are determined by variations in GDP, so reducing CO2 emissions in the long run can be achieved by continuously increasing GDP. The authors look in the future hoping that Russia would be brave to change ways concerning environmental protection from “extreme and post-crises management” into investments into ecological protection to prevent cataclysms and disasters. It is shortsighted for future try to change something after a disaster has happened.
