ABSTRACT

This research uses the panel cointegration and panel-based error correction models to investigate the causality among environmental quality, government efficiency, and industry growth for the period 2002–2020 for 126 countries. The results indicate that a long-term equilibrium cointegrated relationship exists among the variables. Government efficiency has a positive effect on environmental quality, while industry growth only can have a positive effect on EHI. Moreover, the negative influence of industry growth is quite serious in non-OECD countries. Lastly, increases in government efficiency and industry growth in the long run promote environment quality, but in the short run they are not significant.

摘要

本研究使用面板协整和基于面板的纠错模型来调查 2002-2020 年期间 126 个国家的环境质量、政府效率和行业增长之间的因果关系。结果表明，变量之间存在长期均衡协整关系。政府效率对环境质量有正向影响，而行业增长只能对 EHI 产生正向影响。此外，工业增长的负面影响在非经合组织国家相当严重。最后，政府效率的提高和行业的增长在长期内促进了环境质量，但在短期内并不显着。
