RETRACTED ARTICLE: Unlocking the role of energy poverty and its impacts on financial growth of household: is there any economic concern

Abstract

The major purpose of this study is to assess racial disparity and energy poverty index by measuring energy poverty index by using data envelopment analysis and regression equation from South Asia (2001Asia ( -2018). An energy poverty index is quantifying the size and scope of energy poverty, and DEA is used to investigate the relevance of socioeconomic position to multidimensional energy poverty. In multidimensional energy poverty, location, house ownership position, number of dependents, and the age of the main caregiver have an important positive impact. Our research has shown that Bhutan is the most susceptible nation with an energy poverty index of (0.02), Maldives (0.03), and Bangladesh (0.11), while India (0.86) and Pakistan (0.49) are the least likely to be energy poor as regards energy poverty. Of the total energy production, 78% is based on traditional fuels, followed by 12% based on petroleum products. The Gini index indicates a positive association with the energy poverty index at a 5% significance level. This signifies that these socioeconomic indicators positively contribute to the energy poverty index level. This study developed more synchronized policies to eradicate energy poverty and can provide a way forward for policymakers to develop strategies to implement them suitably in the regional power sector.

Environmental Implications of Deforestation: A Time Series Study of Pakistan

“…The substantial increasing trend of urbanization has caused immense deforestation that triggering the distortion of global climate patterns and causing the catastrophic hydro-meteorological events. Along with deforestation, energy, transport and manufacturing sectors, residential and commercial areas are also responsible for GHGs emissions (Bari et al, 2020;Chien, Hsu, Zhang, Vu, & Nawaz, 2021). Almost all these factors contribute 60% of total emissions which is a significant number.…”

Nexus of Renewable Energy Consumption, Economic Growth, Population Growth, FDI, and Environmental Degradation in South Asian Countries: New Evidence from Driscoll-Kraay Standard Error Approach

“…Hence, the high population is one of the vital factors of high REC that severely affected the country's atmosphere. Moreover, these factors move the economies from the agriculture sector towards the industrial sector, increasing REC and carbon emissions (Chien, Hsu, Zhang, Vu, & Nawaz, 2021;Chien, Sadiq, Kamran, et al, 2021;Jun et al, 2021). In addition, the financial sector also plays a vital role in the EG in both developed and developing countries.…”
