“…The pattern of material and/or resource use is found to play a key role in economic development and growth [24,27]. Indicatively, energy sources, technological innovation, and other resources or material related indicators are known fundamentals of economic growth and development [50][51][52][53][54][55]. Dietz and Rosa [56], Wiedmann et al [28] and Baynes and Musango [57] illustrated the drivers of the material footprint vis-à-vis domestic material consumption from different perspectives.…”

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) elaborately encompass a global goal for sustainable consumption and production (Goal 12: SDGs), thus providing potential drivers and/or pathways to attaining sustainable consumption. In view of this global goal, this study examined the role of real income per capita, urbanization and especially inbound tourism in domestic material consumption for the panel of OECD countries. The study is conducted for the period of 1995 to 2016 by employing the panel quantile approach. Interestingly, an inverted U-shaped relationship between outbound tourism and domestic material consumption is established across the quantiles, thus indicating that sustainable domestic consumption is achievable after a threshold of domestic material consumption is attained. In addition, achieving sustainable consumption through economic or income growth is a herculean task for the OECD countries because the current reality indicates that income growth triggers higher consumption of domestic materials. However, the results suggest that urbanization is a recipe for sustainable domestic consumption since there is a negative and significant relationship between the two parameters across the quantiles. Nevertheless, the study presents relevant policy for efficient material and resources utilization and that is suitable to drive the SDGs for 2030 and other country-specific sustainable ambitions.

“…The climate change experienced in recent decades is linked to an increase in pollutant gas emissions and the economic growth of countries [5,25,26], which is the reason why there are several empirical studies that analyze the relationship between the mentioned variables [2,3,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. The basic theory used to understand this relationship is the Kuznets curve hypothesis applied to environmental issues.…”

“…The renewable and non-renewable energy variables were used by Hdom [50], Yao et al [42], Cai et al [65] and Dong et al [21] to indicate the type of energy consumed in different countries and its impact on CO 2 emissions. Moreover, other researchers such as Kacprzyk and Kuchta [2], Liu, Ren, Cheng, and Wang [3], Moye Uddin [31] and Munir, Hooi, and Smyth [32], use the industry as a determinant of CO 2 emissions, which comprises the added value of industries and the supply of electricity, gas, among others.…”

The Liberalization of the Internal Energy Market in the European Union: Evidence of Its Influence on Reducing Environmental Pollution

et al. 2020

From an empirical point of view, the liberalization of the internal energy market reduces carbon dioxide emissions, promoting a wider range of renewable energy sources. The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of the liberalization of the internal energy market on CO2 emissions, which was implemented in the European Union in 2011. The research data cover 27 countries of the European Union during the period 2004–2017 and was processed by estimating a two-way effects econometric model. The results suggest that the liberalization of the internal energy market is negatively related to CO2 emissions; the policy was effective in reducing CO2 emissions and, therefore, slowing down climate change. This result is significant at the level of the European Union, and in high-income countries since the year the policy was implemented, being different in the upper-middle-income countries, which begins to be effective after two years, which is due to the economic characteristics of the countries. The public policies to be implemented to reduce carbon dioxide emissions should focus on reducing the barriers imposed on foreign trade, which prevent efficient use of resources and providing financial and operating facilities to renewable energy providers in order to stimulate their production and consumption.

“…A huge number of authors have studied the EKC hypothesis in which several have studied from the perspective of agriculture [13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. However, a specific study about the environment and economy related to the natural rubber plantations is rarely conducted.…”

Relationship between Economy and Environment of the Natural Rubber Plantation in Major Producers

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Thailand, Indonesia, Viet Nam, and India are the major natural rubber producers to date. Natural rubber has become one of the largest export commodities in these countries. It creates job opportunities for the smallholders as well as contributes to the national economy growth. However, a large-scale of natural rubber plantation results in environmental issues such as the nitrous oxide (N2O) emission which is obtained from the use of synthetic fertilizer during the cultivation process. The postulate of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) was employed to examine the relationship between economy and environment from the natural rubber plantation in major producers using secondary data ranging from 2005 to 2018. Therefore, the N2O emission in which represents environmental degradation was regressed with the value of natural rubber production as the proxy for the economy growth using a fixed effect model on the panel data regression analysis. Results show that there is an inverted U-shape curve from the relationship between the N2O emissions and the value of natural rubber production. Hence, this study supports the postulate of EKC’s hypothesis. In addition, results found that the average value of natural rubber production from major producers was not yet reached the turning point of EKC. Some suggestions were made in order to increase the productivity while maintaining yet reducing the emission obtained from the use of synthetic fertilizer during cultivation process.
