In recent years, climate policy has experienced several episodes of crest and trough in the US, which has induced profound uncertainty. This climate policy uncertainty (CPU) may exert economic, social, and environmental impacts. Therefore, using the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) framework, this study targets to probe whether CPU affects sectoral carbon dioxide emissions (COE) in the US.

Although there exists a growing body of literature that probes the economic effects of EPU, the EPU-energy nexus yet remains understudied. To fill this gap, the current study probes the impact of disaggregated EPU (i.

To limit environmental degradation, prior literature discerns several macroeconomic, socio-economic, and institutional factors that affect environmental degradation. However, the relationship between geopolitical risk and environmental degradation is understudied in the previous literature.

Therefore, the goal of this paper is to investigate whether EPU and GPR impede CO emissions in BRICST countries. We employ second-generation panel data methods, AMG and CCEMG estimator, and panel quantile regression model.

Human-induced carbon emissions are the main reasons behind these environmental issues and to reduce them and mitigate their consequences, policymakers globally explore their drivers and determinants continuously. Although several socio-economic factors have been explored that affect the level of emissions, relatively less attention has been paid to geopolitical risk (GPR).

Furthermore, instabilities in global oil prices have serious implications for the economies of oil exporters and importers, due to their over-dependence on crude oil for revenue and production activities, respectively, and thereby on stock market indices. Against limited empirical evidence, this study examines the spillover effects from global economic policy uncertainty (GEPU) and oil price volatility to the volatility of the stock market indices of oil exporters and importers in both developed and emerging economies.

High levels of CO emissions are extensively cited as one of the main global concerns nowadays. Therefore, researchers have been investigating the factors that affect CO emissions. In the prior literature, several social, economic, and political drivers of CO emissions have been investigated; however, there is a dearth of the literature on the impact of geopolitical risks (GPR) on CO emissions.

Over the last few decades, economic policy uncertainty (EPU) has surged across the globe. Furthermore, EPU affects economic activities, which may also generate strong CO emissions. The goal of this study is to explore the impact of EPU (measured by the world uncertainty index) on CO emissions in the case of the top ten carbon emitter countries, spanning the period 1990 to 2015.

Purposely, yogurt was prepared with different concentration of aloe vera gel and coded as AGY = Control (3.5% fat and no AG), AGY = (1% fat and 1% AG), AGY = (1% fat and 2% AG), AGY = (1% fat and 3% AG), AGY = (2% fat and 1% AG), AGY = (2% fat and 2% AG), and AGY = (2% fat and 3% AG).
