“…Furthermore, the brain drain means the departure of educated human capital from the country. Therefore, this study examines the most closely related issues, such as the relationship between human capital and the environment (e.g., Liu et al, 2022;Hao et al, 2021;Zhang et al, 2021;Ahmed et al, 2021;Nathaniel et al, 2021;Pata & Caglar, 2021;Ahmed & Wang, 2019;Lai et al, 2021;Li et al, 2020;Kazemian et al, 2020;Levine et al, 2020). Liu et al (2022) evaluated the effect of educational costs and human capital on the environmental quality in the BRICS countries.…”

“…Li et al (2020) found that environmental pollution could increase the income gap and exacerbate the brain drain caused by environmental pollution. Finally, Kazemian et al (2020) investigated the effects of migration and brain drain on ecological sustainability in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. The authors found that brain drain negatively affected environmental sustainability, while migration had a negligible effect.…”

“…Accordingly, improving social conditions and the rule of law accelerates sustainable economic development (Kwon, 2009). Notably, Kazemian et al (2020) concluded that migration has no considerable effect on environmental sustainability, but brain drain negatively affects environmental sustainability in ASEAN countries. They also argued that investing in human capital increases ecological sustainability.…”

This investigation explored the impacts of energy transition and brain drain on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. A panel of seventy-five countries from 2006 to 2020 and the panel quantile regression were used to realize this investigation. The empirical results from the panel quantile regression indicated that the brain drain, trade openness, and economic growth increase CO2 emissions per capita. At the same time, the energy transition, energy efficiency, and urbanization mitigate the environmental degradation in this group of countries. Moreover, the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test indicated the presence of unidirectional causality from brain drain to CO2 emissions. The same test also suggests that the brain drains at all levels except 75th has positive and expressive effects on CO2 emissions -mainly in quantiles 10th and 25th, and the energy transition at all levels decreases CO2 emissions, being this effect more intense as quantiles levels up. This research contributes to the literature twofold. First, the study contributes to the literature by finding that brain drain provokes environmental degradation, which is more pronounced when CO2 emissions per capita are low. Second, this analysis assesses the impact of brain drain and energy transition on CO2 emissions of countries with similar convergence patterns. Indeed, it has the novelty of using criteria to include the countries in the panel. This criterion selects the countries by identifying which are more homogeneous and thus reduces the noise caused by divergent countries in the panel. Therefore, this research also opens the door to exploring energy transition based on countries with similar convergence patterns.

Unveiling the Mediating Effect of Intellectual Capital on the Relationship between Management Control System, Management Accounting, and Business Performance

In today’s knowledge-driven economy, organizations compete through their intellectual capital (IC). However, effectively leveraging IC requires robust management control systems (MCS) and sound management accounting (MA) practices. Despite theoretical arguments, empirical evidence on the interplay between these elements and their combined impact on performance remains limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating how MCS and MA influence IC development and how IC subsequently affects business performance within Saudi Arabian companies. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey sent to diverse manufacturing and service companies and analyzed using structural equation modeling with AMOS software. Findings reveal that comprehensive MCS drives increased use of MA tools, both contributing to IC development, although MCS's influence operates indirectly through MA. Importantly, this study provides strong empirical support for the positive and significant impact of IC on business performance. Interestingly, IC fully mediates the relationships between MCS/MA and performance, suggesting that the direct effects of these practices lack independent influence. These findings underscore the critical role of aligning MCS and MA with IC components. By establishing processes, systems, and environments that foster knowledge creation, information networks, organizational learning, and capabilities, companies can unlock the full potential of IC for improved performance. This study offers valuable insights for managers seeking to optimize their control and accounting practices to build a strong foundation for sustainable competitive advantage through enhanced intellectual capital.
