The Environmental Consequences of Globalization: A Country-Specific Time Series Analysis

219 citations recorded by the source corpus.

The dynamic relationships among trade, income and the environment for developed and developing countries are examined using a cointegration analysis. Results suggest that trade and income growth tend to increase environmental quality in developed countries, whereas they have detrimental effects on environmental quality in most developing countries. It is also found that for developed countries, the causal relationship appears to run from trade and income to the environment ─ a change in trade and income growth causes a consequent change in environmental quality, and the opposite relationship holds for developing countries.

How economic growth, renewable electricity and natural resources contribute to CO2 emissions? (2018, background): “…effects on environmental degradation for individual countries varies by income, possibly due to policy differences, economic structure, level of economic openness, and country-specific variations (Baek et al., 2009; Wiebe et al., 2012; Mudakkar et al., 2013; Ozturk, 2015; Khan et al., 2016).”
The effects of environmental innovations on CO2 emissions: Empirical evidence from Europe (2021, background): “The negative impact of economic openness on CO 2 emissions is contrary to the results of earlier empirical studies (Baek et al., 2009; Managi et al., 2009) emphasizing that liberalization of trade in developed economies can be beneficial for the environment.”
