“…Further analysis of this study found that the population growth had a significant positive effect on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions in Indonesia with a coefficient of 1.417481, which meant that if the population growth increases, the emissions of the carbon dioxide will also increase linearly. The population growth is one aspect that greatly affects the increase of carbon dioxide emissions around the world in the last two decades (Shi, 2001), in particular, the effect of the population growth in China positively and significantly affect carbon dioxide emissions [15].In addition, Wang et al [16] also stated that the population growth has a strong influence on the increase of carbon dioxide emissions in 30 provinces in China.…”

In the last decade, the increase of energy consumption that has multiplied carbondioxide emissions becomes world problems, especially in the developing countries undergoing industrialization to be developed ones like Indonesia. This aim of this study was to analyze the effect of fossil energy consumption, population growth, and consumption of renewable energy on carbon dioxide emission. The method used was multiple linear regression analysis with Ordinary Least Square approach using time series in the period of 1990 - 2014. The result showed that fossil energy consumption and population growth have a positive influence on carbon dioxide emission in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the consumption variable of renewable energy has a negative effect on the level of carbon dioxide emissions produced.

“…The hypotheses are natural modernization [74], metropolitan ecological change [75], and "compact city theories" [76]. These hypotheses imply that the impact of urbanization on the climate can be positive or negative contingent upon the net effect, and, what is more, that financial exercises sway the metropolitan and mechanical spaces; in this manner, urbanization impacts fossil fuel byproducts [77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84].…”

Sustainability of the Moderating Role of Financial Development in the Determinants of Environmental Degradation: Evidence from Turkey

et al. 2021

One of the questions that remain unanswered in the literature on determinants of carbon emissions is the moderating effect of “financial development”. This becomes imperative, owing to the connection of carbon emissions to environmental degradation, which is considered to be one of the main challenges to sustainable development. Thus, this study investigated the moderating role of financial development in the determinants of carbon emissions for Turkey during the period of 1960 to 2016. Zivot–Andrew and Lee–Strazicich “unit root tests” were utilized to investigate the stationarity properties of the series. The cointegration among the variables employed was examined by utilizing the ARDL bounds test and Bayer–Hanck cointegration test. In contrast, the long-run causal relationship of the variables with carbon emissions was examined by using fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), dynamic OLS (DOLS), and Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR). The empirical findings reveal the significance of “economic growth”, “capital formation”, “energy consumption”, “urbanization”, and “financial development” as determinants of environmental degradation in Turkey. The study also found the significant moderating role of “financial development” in the relationship between “economic growth” and carbon emissions, capital formation and carbon emissions, and urbanization and carbon emissions. The environmental–financial related policies were suggested for the policymakers in Turkey to aid the reduction of carbon emission with the view of improving environmental quality.

“…Cao et al based their study on 36 years data after China's reform and opening up and, adopting a threshold regression, concluded that the relationship between urbanization and CO 2 emissions showed periodicity and regional characteristics [22]. As an example, Wang et al used data from 30 provinces and cities in China over the past 15 years and, employing STIRPAT, proved that urbanization had a positive effect on carbon emissions in Western China, a negative effect on carbon emissions in Central China and a non-statistically significant effect in Eastern China [23]. He et al based their study on 19 years' provincial panel data in China and, using the STIRPAT model as an example, verified that the impact of urbanization varies greatly in different regions [24].…”

Improvements in carbon emission efficiency are crucial to China’s economic growth; carbon emission reduction and urbanization are two of the focuses of research on carbon emission efficiency. This paper selects 2000–2015 panel data from 30 provinces in China, evaluates the carbon emission efficiency of each province using the DEA method and, based on the STIRPAT expansion form, empirically looks at the effect of urbanization on carbon emission efficiency. The results show that, during the chosen time frame, not only did the carbon emission efficiency of China’s provinces show an upward trend but the carbon emission efficiency of the Eastern, Central and Western regions differed markedly, with the highest efficiency in the Eastern region, the second highest in the Central region and the lowest in the Western region. After controlling for population density, economic development level, energy intensity and industrial structure, urbanization we determine that urbanization can indeed improve carbon emission efficiency, although there are regional differences. Urbanization is conducive to improvements in carbon emission efficiency in both the Central and Western regions but the promotion effect of the Western region is stronger. The effect in the Eastern region is not significant. Based on the conclusions above, this paper puts forward policy recommendations that promote both China’s lower carbon efficiency and future environmental protection.
