Abstract
This study investigates the impact of linear economy, circular economy, green energy and green patents on environmental sustainability in selected OECD countries during 2000–2018. To demonstrate the nexus between above said constructs, Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model is adopted. Empirical findings suggest that green energy and green patents positively impact the environmental sustainability across all the quantiles. However, impact of linear economy, circular economy is negative in the short run and getting positive towards the long run. Overall, there is significant association between all the examined variables and they all are equally important to facilitates the environmental sustainability in the OECD countries. Empirical outcomes of present study help the policymakers to establish the ecological sustainability and guide them towards the attainment of sustainable development goals.
期刊介绍:
Gondwana Research (GR) is an International Journal aimed to promote high quality research publications on all topics related to solid Earth, particularly with reference to the origin and evolution of continents, continental assemblies and their resources. GR is an "all earth science" journal with no restrictions on geological time, terrane or theme and covers a wide spectrum of topics in geosciences such as geology, geomorphology, palaeontology, structure, petrology, geochemistry, stable isotopes, geochronology, economic geology, exploration geology, engineering geology, geophysics, and environmental geology among other themes, and provides an appropriate forum to integrate studies from different disciplines and different terrains. In addition to regular articles and thematic issues, the journal invites high profile state-of-the-art reviews on thrust area topics for its column, ''GR FOCUS''. Focus articles include short biographies and photographs of the authors. Short articles (within ten printed pages) for rapid publication reporting important discoveries or innovative models of global interest will be considered under the category ''GR LETTERS''.
