“…Katircioglu (2014b) studied the long-run effects of tourism on carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions as a proxy for environmental degradation in Turkey and concluded that tourism growth increases both energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, Katircioglu et al (2018a) investigated the effect of tourism development on the environmental quality proxied by the ecological footprint in top 10 countries. The estimation results concluded the validity of tourism-induced EKC hypothesis and found negatively significant impact of tourism development on the ecological footprint.…”

“…In the recent past, a large number of empirical studies have explored this inverted U–shaped relationship between environmental degradation and per capita income in the context of developed and developing countries, and debatable results have been obtained. These inconclusive results may be due to the fact that GDP, as an indicator for economic growth, is only a rough indicator, does not directly account for environmental quality and capture the effects of different sectors of the economy on environmental degradation (Ozturk et al 2015; Katircioglu et al 2018a). As one of the main drivers of environmental degradation, many studies investigated the impact of energy consumption on environmental quality (Kapusuzoglu 2014; Heidari et al 2015; Anatasia 2015; Kalayci and Koksal 2015; Cetin and Ecevit 2017, inter alia).…”

“…These indicators might directly influence the environmental quality, or these impacts might be transmitted through other drivers, like energy consumption. In this regard, considering the huge positive impacts of tourism on economic growth and the above-mentioned potential adverse effects on the environment, most recent studies have focused on examining the impact of tourism on environmental degradation in the context of comparative analysis of developed and developing countries (Lee and Brahmasrene 2013; León et al 2014; Al-Mulali et al 2014a; Ozturk et al 2015; Paramati et al 2017a), Eastern and Western European Union countries (Paramati et al 2017b), individual countries (Katircioglu 2014a, b; Durbarry and Seetanah 2015), and top 10 tourist destinations (Katircioglu et al 2018a). In addition, a number of empirical studies concluded that trade and urbanization are other drivers of environmental degradation (Katircioglu et al 2016; Mikayilov et al 2017a; Katircioglu et al 2018c; Katircioglu and Katircioglu 2018, inter alia).…”

The study investigates the long-run impact of tourism development on ecological footprint by employing the time-varying coefficient cointegration approach (TVC), in addition to the conventional cointegration techniques in the case of Azerbaijan for the period of 1996–2014. Based on the TVC estimation results, the coefficient of tourism development, which is the income elasticity of environmental degradation, was found to be time invariant. The paper uses energy consumption, trade, urbanization, and institutional quality indicators as control explanatory variables. The estimation results revealed that trade and energy consumption have statistically significant and positive impact on ecological footprint, while the coefficients of the other explanatory variables were found to be insignificant. Both the conventional estimation methods and the TVC concluded that, for the relationship between ecological footprint and tourism development, the EKC hypothesis is not present in Azerbaijan. Policy implications for the resource-rich economies have been discussed.

“…They empirically proved the urbanization-induced environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis and thus searched the long-run equilibrium linkage causality among CO 2 emissions and urban development from energy usage and real income growth in the world. Katircioglu, Gokmenoglu and Eren [8] assert that tourism industry is relied majorly on infrastructure potentials including highways, airports, harbours, hotels and holiday village.…”

The major goal of this paper is to focus on the existing literature regarding the linkage between maritime, trade liberalization and industrial development in the context of CO2 by using econometrical model. In this context, it is attempted to reveal the effects of independent variables on CO2 (dependent variable) for China from 1980 to 2013 (annual data) by implementing Phillips-Perron (PP), Zivot-Andrews unit root tests, FMOLS, DOLS, CCR, ARDL and GMM methods. According to results of FMOLS, DOLS and CCR models there is a long-term stable relationship between sea transportation, trade liberalization, industrial development and carbon dioxide emissions which is proved empirically. Similarly, Short term ARDL estimation results reveal that the main determinants of CO2 in the short-run are changed in industrial development and maritime transport at 1% significance level. Table 6 summarizes the short-term ARDL results and the findings regarding the error correction model. According to Table 6, error correction model works in order to reach short-run adjustment. In the short term, approximately 78% of shocks in industrial development, maritime transport and trade liberalization are compensated within a period of time and the system is re-established in the long term. China produced half of the 1.2 million electric media used worldwide; the government directs its attention to the rehabilitation and reuse of all these lithium-ion batteries. Large-scale production of biofuels can still be several years away. Crude oil might be very difficult to promote alternative fuels on a national scale unless crude oil prices surge so high as to become unaffordable. Authorities underline: China will become the world’s number one economy. Now renewable energy will be more important, which should be encouraged to use by government on transportation so as to reduce the CO2 emissions. However, China can be leader excess oil use for transport if they want to dominate the economy worldwide.

“…The subject matter of sustainable tourism is getting high attention in the global environmental agenda to conserve economic and natural resources through eco-friendly tourism, reduced pressure on arable land to develop smart cities planning, and integrated trade cooperation between developed and developing countries for advancement in the cleaner production technologies [1]. These policies could be helpful to reduce 'ecological footprints' in tourism across the globe [2][3][4]. The present study evaluated four main crucial factors that may cause ecological footprints, including inbound tourism, population density, trade, and economic growth.…”

Environmental damages are largely visible by the man-made actions in general, including an enormous increase in international tourism, huge pressure on arable land by increasing population density, and global international trade. These stated factors are mainly responsible for 'ecological footprints' across the globe. The present study considered these factors in order to evaluate 'ecological footprints' in a panel of 130 countries for a period of 1995-2018. The dynamic differenced GMM estimator is used for empirical illustrations. The study used different regression estimators in order to get robust inferences and found that inbound tourism is the main detrimental factor of global environment that causes 'ecological footprint', which further exhibit the 'inverted U-shaped' relationship between them. Further, population density and countries economic growth first increases and later decreases ecological footprints to support 'inverted U-shaped relationship between them. The Granger causality results unable to verify the 'tourism-led growth' or 'growth-led tourism' hypothesis, while it shows 'no causal' relationship between them, although highly correlated in the regression estimates. Ecological footprint and population density both Granger cause inbound tourism, while the bidirectional relationship found between trade and inbound tourism. Sustainable tourism policies are highly needed to limit ecological footprints across countries.
