“…(2017) for 53 countries and Tarazkar et al (2020) for Middle East regions. This result contradicts the earlier findings of , Adams and Klobodu (2018), Sarwar and Alsaggaf (2019) and Asongu et al (2020).…”

“…The study reported that emission is increased by the younger population while the elderly population activities reduce emission. Tarazkar et al (2020) studied the impact of age structure on environmental degradation in 10 countries in the Middle East region. The study decomposed the age structure into three age groups (less than 15 years, 15-64 and 65 and above) and posits that age structure has a significant association with environmental pollution.…”

“…The direct connection between age and emission stems from the pattern of consumption of the various age groups. For instance, Tarazkar et al (2020) contend that by having more production activity, the working-age population utilizes more energy and resources and hence emits more. On the other hand, Liddle and Lung (2010) and Liddle (2011) argue that, although the older population spends considerable time at home, they are quite not active relative to other age units and most times the size of their household is small.…”

“…In line with the theoretical expectations, the previous studies worked on the linear relationship between different socio-economic and environmental factors and the COVID-19 pandemic. Simultaneously, there is a considerable gap in evaluating the nonlinearity in the stated factors that allow more in-depth analysis to devise sustainable healthcare policies (Majeed and Ozturk 2020;Rehman et al 2021;Tarazkar et al 2021). The study categorizes the following literature to develop the study's hypotheses during the pandemic recession, i.e., financial development, carbon damages, green energy sources, and research and development expenditures.…”

The world faces a high alert of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), leading to a million deaths and could become infected to reach a billion numbers. A sizeable amount of scholarly work has been available on different aspects of social-economic and environmental factors. At the same time, many of these studies found the linear (direct) causation between the stated factors. In many cases, the direct relationship is not apparent. The world is unsure about the possible determining factors of the COVID-19 pandemic, which need to be known through conducting nonlinearity (indirect) relationships, which caused the pandemic crisis. The study examined the nonlinear relationship between COVID-19 cases and carbon damages, managing financial development, renewable energy consumption, and innovative capability in a cross section of 65 countries. The results show that inbound foreign direct investment first increases and later decreases because of the increasing coronavirus cases. Further, the rise and fall in the research and development expenditures and population density exhibits increasing coronavirus cases across countries. The continued economic growth initial decreases later increase by adopting standardized operating procedures to contain coronavirus disease. The inter-temporal relationship shows that green energy source and carbon damages would likely influence the coronavirus cases with a variance of 17.127% and 5.440%, respectively, over a time horizon. The policymakers should be carefully designing sustainable healthcare policies, as the cost of carbon emissions leads to severe healthcare issues, which are likely to get exposed to contagious diseases, including COVID-19. The sustainable policy instruments, including renewable fuels in industrial production, advancement in cleaner production technologies, the imposition of carbon taxes on dirty production, and environmental certifications, are a few possible remedies that achieve healthcare sustainability agenda globally.

“…The fifth paper, by Tarazkar et al (2021), examines the effect of population age structure on environmental degradation in a panel of ten Middle East countries from 1990 to 2014. The authors find that children and working-age populations positively impact environmental pollution; however, older people hurt CO 2 emissions.…”
