“…This study incorporates respective control variables based on their relevance in the empirical literature, including investment in capital formation (proxied by gross fixed capital formation), trade openness, inflation, and interest rates, as shown in Table 1. The following studies justify the inclusion of the variables in the tourism income equation: Hussain (2023), Khalid et al (2020), Ghosh (2022), Seetanah and Fauzel (2023), Kumar et al (2020), Salazar (2022), and Mora-Rivera and García-Mora (2021). The employment equation is supported by Asaleye et al (2021), Holland (1986), Bailey et al (1980), Amuedo-Dorantes and Pozo (2006), Oliinyk et al (2021), Conard (2023), Akkemik (2007), and Asaleye and Strydom (2023).…”

With globalisation and international trade, remittances and migration significantly influence economic activities, yet their impact on tourism income and gender-specific employment remains under-researched. This study uses autoregressive distributed lags and Granger causality to examine the effects of remittances and migration on tourism income and employment in South Africa. Three models are established as follows: for aggregate employment, male employment, and female employment, each with equations for tourism income and employment. Key findings from this study indicate that remittances significantly drive tourism income in both the short and long run across all models. Conversely, employment negatively impacts tourism income, hinting at sectoral trade-offs. Migration positively affects tourism income in the short run for male and aggregate models but is insignificant for female employment. Remittances boost male employment in both the short and long run, whereas their impact on female employment is significant only in the long run. Causality analysis shows a bidirectional relationship among employment indicators, with unidirectional causality from remittances to migration and from migration to income. This study recommends policies to support remittance inflows and their productive use in tourism, along with targeted interventions to reduce gender disparities in employment and promote equitable economic opportunities.

This study was designed to have an insight into the literature, both theoretical and empirical, on the relationship of dependent variable Carbon dioxide (CO2) and independent variables institutional quality (IQ), gross domestic product (GDP), and foreign direct investment (FDI) in the context of developing economies growth from 2000 to 2023. It is an overview of the related published literature about Pakistan. This article is focused using theoretical techniques that explain how and why certain techniques operate and identifies three further dimensions for further research. It’s a huge policy challenge to manage CO2 emissions with advanced technology alone. As per report of (IEA) international energy agency 2020, Pakistan has reallocated the National Clean Fund to compensate for the reforms. The FDI inflows & IQ are pivitol in attaining the sustainable environment. Higher FDI invariably leads to higher emissions, ensuring IQ initiatives both in public and private sector will mitigate this negative impact. Tagging incentive to eco-friendly ambitious technology initiative help environmental sustainability. Variables like degree of industrial development, quality of trained labor force, and overall rate of literacy as factor additional variable that determines the degree/ amount CO2 production, these are beyond the scope of this study as data is not available, and it shall be the focus of further exploration.
