Higher education R&D expenditures (HEEXP) are one of the important determinants of economic growth that facilitates science, technology, new ideas, and innovation, but its effect on environmental sustainability remains unexplored. This paper examines the nexus between HEEXP and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e), followed by control variables such as electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, and total population for the period 2000Q1-2019Q4. Some of the key results are as follows. First, the present findings confirmed the long-run cointegration among variables. Second, the finding showed significant long-term negative nexus between HEEXP and CO2e. Third, the findings indicated that electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, and total population are the important factors that intensify the overall situation of CO2e. Fourth, the results indicated that there exist a bi-directional causality between EC and CO2e; FDI and CO2e; GDP and CO2e; POP and CO2e and HEEXP, and CO2e.

“…This result suggested that GDP growth—driven by low energy efficiency and coal consumption—had enhanced CO 2 e in China. This result is consistent with the previous findings for India (Dar and Asif 2017 ); Pakistan (Chandia et al 2018 ; Ur Rahman et al 2019 ); China (Ahmad et al 2018a ; Mushtaq et al 2020 ; Wei 2020 ; Zhou et al 2018 ); the USA (Alola and Alola 2019 ); Liberia (Moutinho et al 2020 ); Qatar (Mrabet et al 2017 ); selected 72 countries (Inekwe et al 2019 ); developing countries (Wawrzyniak and Doryń 2020 ); NAFTA and BRIC (Rahman et al 2019a ); SEE countries (Obradović and Lojanica 2017 ); and Asian economies (Qingquan et al 2020 ).…”

Even though higher education R&D expenditures (HEEXP) are important determinants of economic growth that facilitate science, technology, new ideas, and innovation, yet its effect on environmental sustainability remains unexplored. This paper examines the nexus between HEEXP and carbon dioxide emissions (CO 2 e), followed by control variables such as electricity consumption (EC), foreign direct investment (FDI), gross domestic product (GDP), and total population (TP) for the period 2000Q1–2019Q4. Data were evaluated using different tests, e.g., the cross-sectional dependence test, cross-sectionally augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, Westerlund error-correction–based panel cointegration test, mean group, augmented mean group, common correlated effects mean group, and Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test. First, the results validated the cointegration association among HEEXP, EC, FDI, GDP, TP, and CO 2 e. Second, the finding showed significant long-term negative nexus between HEEXP and CO 2 e. Third, the findings indicated that electricity consumption, foreign direct investment, gross domestic product, and total population are the important factors that intensify the overall situation of CO 2 e. Fourth, the results indicated that there exists bidirectional causality between EC and CO 2 e; FDI and CO 2 e; GDP and CO 2 e; POP and CO 2 e; and HEEXP and CO 2 e. This paper’s findings call for devising policies and strengthening financial support to induce higher education for developing green patents.

Do Economic Policy Uncertainty and Geopolitical Risk Lead to Environmental Degradation? Evidence from Emerging Economies

et al. 2021

Since the turn of twenty first century, economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and geopolitical risk (GPR) have escalated across the globe. These two factors have both economic and environmental impacts. However, there exists dearth of literature that expounds the impact of EPU and GPR on environmental degradation. This study, therefore, probes the impact of EPU and GPR on ecological footprint (proxy for environmental degradation) in selected emerging economies. Cross-sectional dependence test, slope heterogeneity test, Westerlund co-integration test, fully modified least ordinary least square estimator, dynamic OLS estimator, and augmented mean group estimator are employed to conduct the robust analyses. The findings reveal that EPU and non-renewable energy consumption escalate ecological footprint, whereas GPR and renewable energy plunge ecological footprint. In addition, findings from the causality test reveal both uni-directional and bi-directional causality between a few variables. Based on the findings, we deduce several policy implications to accomplish the sustainable development goals in emerging economies.
