The current study seeks to investigate both, the determinants of ecological footprint and economic growth to explore the effectiveness of financial development, renewable and non-renewable energy utilization in reducing the ecological footprint level and boost the economic growth during the period from 1990 to 2017 for 15 highest emitting countries. This study verifies the presence of cross-sectional dependency by utilizing second-generation tests for robust estimation. The results of augmented mean group (AMG) estimation approach revealed that financial development, renewable energy and trade openness significantly contribute to overcome the environmental degradation, while economic growth and non-renewable energy utilization are more responsible for the environmental damages. Moreover, in growth function, financial development, renewable and non-renewable energy utilization significantly promote the economic growth. Additionally, Dumitrescu and Hurlin (D-H) non-causality test revealed that there exists bidirectional causality between financial development, economic growth, renewable energy utilization and ecological footprint. However, unidirectional causality is running from non-renewable energy and trade openness to ecological footprint. Furthermore, in growth function, financial development and non-renewable energy confirm the feedback hypothesis and unidirectional causal relationship exists from economic growth to renewable energy and trade openness. Finally, some policy suggestions and future research directions are also discussed for these economies.

金融普惠,可再生和不可再生能源利用是否会加速生态足迹和经济增长?来自15个排放最高的国家的新证据

当前的研究旨在调查生态足迹和经济增长的决定因素,以探索金融发展,可再生和不可再生能源利用在降低生态足迹水平和促进1990年至2017年期间经济增长方面的有效性。 15个排放最高的国家。这项研究通过利用第二代检验进行稳健估计,验证了横截面依赖性的存在。增强均值组(AMG)估计方法的结果表明,金融发展,可再生能源和贸易开放度显着有助于克服环境恶化,而经济增长和不可再生能源利用对环境破坏负有更大责任。此外,在增长功能,金融发展,可再生和不可再生能源利用极大地促进了经济增长。此外,杜米特雷斯库和赫林(DH)的非因果关系检验表明,金融发展,经济增长,可再生能源利用和生态足迹之间存在双向因果关系。但是,单向因果关系正从不可再生的能源和贸易开放到生态足迹。此外,在增长函数中,金融发展和不可再生能源证实了反馈假设,并且存在从经济增长到可再生能源和贸易开放的单向因果关系。最后,针对这些经济体还讨论了一些政策建议和未来的研究方向。Dumitrescu和Hurlin(DH)的非因果关系检验表明,金融发展,经济增长,可再生能源利用与生态足迹之间存在双向因果关系。但是,单向因果关系正从不可再生的能源和贸易开放到生态足迹。此外,在增长函数中,金融发展和不可再生能源证实了反馈假设,并且存在从经济增长到可再生能源和贸易开放的单向因果关系。最后,针对这些经济体还讨论了一些政策建议和未来的研究方向。Dumitrescu和Hurlin(DH)的非因果关系检验表明,金融发展,经济增长,可再生能源利用与生态足迹之间存在双向因果关系。但是,单向因果关系正从不可再生的能源和贸易开放到生态足迹。此外,在增长函数中,金融发展和不可再生能源证实了反馈假设,并且存在从经济增长到可再生能源和贸易开放的单向因果关系。最后,针对这些经济体还讨论了一些政策建议和未来的研究方向。单向因果关系从不可再生能源和贸易开放到生态足迹。此外,在增长函数中,金融发展和不可再生能源证实了反馈假设,并且存在从经济增长到可再生能源和贸易开放的单向因果关系。最后,针对这些经济体还讨论了一些政策建议和未来的研究方向。单向因果关系从不可再生能源和贸易开放到生态足迹。此外,在增长函数中,金融发展和不可再生能源证实了反馈假设,并且存在从经济增长到可再生能源和贸易开放的单向因果关系。最后,针对这些经济体还讨论了一些政策建议和未来的研究方向。
