“…The nation prefers to utilize a cleaner production agenda that contributes to reducing unfavorable health consequences in a country’s environment. According to the findings of previous research, it is necessary to develop technology in pollutant-intensive businesses and impose carbon taxes on high-polluting industries in order for a nation to make progress in terms of healthcare benefits (Ma et al 2021b ; Xu et al 2019 ; Qin et al 2022 ; Jakovljevic et al 2020 ; Pui et al 2014 ; Shang et al 2022 ). A positive relationship exists between coal-fired power plants and HEXP, both short and long term.…”

Environmental health is critical for the economy’s social welfare and environmental sustainability. Using time series data from 1975 to 2020, the research examines the short- and long-run relationship between environmental pollutants and healthcare costs in the context of Pakistan. The study’s results reveal that short-term and long-term efforts towards cleaner development in terms of carbon emissions, coal combustion, nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions, and industrial value-added have resulted in significant reductions in healthcare expenses due to improved management of industrial emissions. However, in the long run, particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) has a detrimental effect on a country’s sustainable healthcare agenda, leading to increased healthcare costs. Furthermore, the increased use of coal-fired power plants that release polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and revenue generated by contaminated production lead to higher out-of-pocket healthcare costs, increasing a country’s risk of morbidity and mortality. The study’s Granger causality estimations demonstrate that carbon emissions are responsible for emissions-driven healthcare expenses in a nation. Additionally, economic growth leads to increased carbon emissions and industrial toxins, which are also emission-led. Through variance decomposition analysis (VDA), the study finds that carbon emissions have the highest variance shock of 32.702% on healthcare expenditures in the next ten years. This is followed by polluted income and continued economic growth, which have a variance shock of 13.243% and 8.858%, respectively, over the same period. The findings indicate that the maximum healthcare benefits may be acquired by mitigating environmental pollutants via stringent environmental regulations, reducing industrial toxins through solid waste management techniques, and minimizing coal combustion reliance through renewable fuels. Environmental research is still required to provide more sustainable solutions to the sustainability of the global healthcare agenda.

“…Secondly, in energy research, Qu and Hao (2022) found that the digital economy has a significant mitigating effect on energy poverty, and there are regional differences, with the mitigation effect being more pronounced at high levels of digital economy development. Again, in terms of curbing climate warming, the carbon reduction effects of the digital economy and renewable energy have been confirmed by many studies (Chen, 2021;Shang et al, 2022), especially in the context of climate warming and the recent signing of the Glasgow Climate Convention. Finally, the poverty reduction effect of the digital economy has also attracted a lot of attention.…”

This study aims to explore the impact of the digital economy on common prosperity. For this reason, a bidirectional fixed effect model based on panel data of 30 provinces (cities and autonomous regions) in China is empirically tested. The results show that the digital economy can significantly improve the level of common prosperity, and has a positive impact on green and sustainable economic activities such as promoting environmental improvement, coping with climate change and resource conservation and efficient utilization, which is still valid after a series of robustness tests. It also demonstrates the role of green finance as a partial intermediary in the process of shared prosperity and as a negative regulator of environmental pollution. Analysis of regional heterogeneity shows that the enabling effect of the digital economy on common prosperity is more significant in eastern and central provinces, but not significant in western provinces. The results of this study have some reference significance for some countries, where the gap between rich and poor has widened during the epidemic, to narrow the income gap and provide ideas for the parties that made commitments at the Glasgow Climate Summit (COP26) to curb warming and reduce CO2 emissions. That is, continuous improvement of digital infrastructure; emphasis on the intermediary role of green finance and the negative regulating role of local environmental pollution levels; following the relative comparative advantages of regions and formulating differentiated policies for the development of the digital economy, etc.

“…On the domestic demand side of the importing country, due to the unpredictability and high infectiousness of the novel coronavirus ( 16 ), the public health crisis caused by it aroused the precautionary savings motivations and rational consumption tendencies of residents. Additionally, the policy and economic uncertainty mitigated the demand for non-essential goods ( 17 ). However, in the context of the epidemic, medical products, especially personal protective products, have become immediate-need products for residents; the increasing effect of demand was significantly greater than the inhibiting effect ( 10 ), resulting in a sharp increase in public health expenditure ( 18 ).…”

This study conduct regressions of panal data with OLS and test with IV, empirically examines the COVID-19 epidemic's impact on the import of medical products from China from the perspective of the importing countries, exporting country, and other trading partners, and analyzes the inter-temporal impact across different product categories. The empirical results reveal that, in importing countries, the COVID-19 epidemic increased the import of medical products from China. In China, as an exporting country, the epidemic inhibited the export of medical products; by contrast, for other trading partners, it promoted the import of medical products from China. Among them, key medical products were most affected by the epidemic, followed by general medical products and medical equipment. However, the effect was generally found to wane after the outbreak period. Additionally, we focus on how political relations shape China's medical product export pattern and how the Chinese government is using trade means to improve external relations. In the post-COVID-19 era, countries should prioritize the stability of supply chains for key medical products and actively engage in international cooperation on health governance to further combat the epidemic.
