The role of eco-innovation on CO emission reduction in an extended version of the environmental Kuznets curve: evidence from the top 20 refined oil exporting countries.

This study empirically investigates the role of eco-innovation on the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions (CO) in an extended version of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC). Under dynamic framework, second-generation panel econometric techniques such as the CADF and the CIPS unit root tests, DSUR cointegrating test, and DH panel causality test are employed over the period 2007-2016 for the case of top 20 refined oil exporting countries. Results reveal that eco-innovation (i.

Revisiting the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis in a tourism development context.

This study investigates empirically an extended version of the Environmental Kuznets Curve model that controls for tourism development. We find that international tourist arrivals into Turkey alongside income, squared income and energy consumption, cointegrate with CO2 emissions. Tourist arrivals, growth, and energy consumption exert a positive and significant impact on CO2 emissions in the long-run.
