“…Rentschler and Bazilian (2017) added credence to the idea that corruption is a declining function of economic growth. Malerba et al (2021) came to two distinct conclusions about the BRICS due to methodological variances in their studies. While the rigid result reveals a negative contact, the GMM findings showed that corruption positively influenced GDP from 1996 to 2014.…”

“…Yusuf and Resosudarmo (2015), using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with highly disaggregated household groups, suggested a carbon tax would not necessarily be regressive in Indonesia. Malerba et al (2021) suggested that in Peru a carbon tax would leave relative inequality unchanged without compensation. Although it would increase poverty, this could be prevented if proper transfer schemes were in place.…”

Poverty and inequality implications of carbon pricing under the long-term climate target

Many countries have taken stringent climate policies to minimize the risks by climate change. But these policies could burden households and the poor with the extra costs and threaten their wellbeing. However, the consequences of climate policies on poverty and welfare loss are seldom presented in stringent long-term climate change mitigation projections. Carbon pricing is a cost-effective approach; how it affects households varies among countries. This study investigated the distributional effects and poverty implications of carbon pricing in China during the transition towards carbon neutrality and the Paris Agreement’s long-term goals. We assessed multiple poverty and equity standards in future scenarios with a newly developed integrated assessment model. It was found that climate change mitigation efforts would not greatly hinder poverty alleviation in China, with the poverty headcount under the $3.2/cap/day-threshold being less than 0.3 million people in 2050 in most scenarios. A carbon tax became a regressive factor mainly due to price increases in food and energy goods. This indicates that the distributional effects on carbon pricing should be considered. For example, supplementary policies that compensate for price changes, such as subsidies and early mitigation actions, that lead to modest price increases in the long term are worthy of consideration as valid instruments for the just transition towards the 2 °C or even 1.5 °C pathway.

“…Parameter estimates using difference GMM may be skewed in small samples and have enormous variance asymptotically. However, as shown in [ 45 ], this method helps to control the basis of the issues caused by a country-specific effect and endogenous explanatory factors. Therefore, a system GMM is a viable alternative strategy.…”

Emerging countries are approaching economic prosperity. However, the development process has enhanced their ecological footprints, thus promoting low-carbon competitiveness among E7 countries’ industries. Therefore, it is essential to identify the factors that affect a country’s ecological footprint (EF) in order to safeguard the environment. This study explored the effect of financial development, human capital, and institutional quality on the EF of emerging countries. Furthermore, we explored the effect of financial development on the EF of emerging countries through the human capital channel. In addition, we investigated the role of institutional quality in the financial development–EF nexus. Using panel data from 1990 to 2018, we employed the cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) technique to conduct a short-term and long-term empirical analysis. The empirical outcomes revealed that financial development degrades ecological quality by raising the EF. The findings further demonstrated that human capital and institutional quality reduce the EF. Moreover, financial development fosters environmental sustainability through the channel of human capital. Additionally, institutional quality reduces the negative ecological impacts of financial development. The causality analysis suggested that any policy related to financial development, human capital, and institutional quality will affect the EF. However, the inverse conclusion was not sustained. Based on these findings, emerging economies should increase their environmental sustainability by promoting human capital and effectively using financial resources.
