Abstract
This study examines the asymmetric effects of material resource efficiency (MRE), energy productivity (EP), and environmental technology (ENT) on environmental sustainability (ES) in Algeria from 1990/Q1 to 2022/Q4. Using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model (NARDL), we find that both positive and negative shocks to both MRE and ENT contribute to ES, highlighting their effectiveness. Interestingly, positive EP shocks have a stronger mitigating effect compared to negative shocks. This suggests a magnified benefit during periods of efficiency gains. Additionally, asymmetric causality analysis verifies a causal link between MRE, EP, ENT, and ES. Given these results, it is recommended that Algerian policymakers should prioritize investments in MRE and ENT while emphasizing policies that enhance EP due to its magnified benefit on ES. Asymmetric policy responses for green practices alongside alignment with SDGs 7, 8, 12 and COP-28 objectives will optimize Algeria's ES.
本研究探讨了 1990/Q1 至 2022/Q4 期间物质资源效率(MRE)、能源生产率(EP)和环境技术(ENT)对阿尔及利亚环境可持续性(ES)的非对称影响。利用非线性自回归分布滞后模型(NARDL),我们发现材料资源效率(MRE)和环境技术(ENT)的正向和负向冲击都会对环境可持续性产生影响,从而凸显了它们的有效性。有趣的是,与负向冲击相比,正向 EP 冲击具有更强的缓解效果。这表明,在效率提高期间,效益会放大。此外,非对称因果关系分析验证了 MRE、EP、ENT 和 ES 之间的因果关系。鉴于这些结果,建议阿尔及利亚政策制定者优先投资于 MRE 和 ENT,同时强调加强 EP 的政策,因为 EP 对 ES 的益处更大。在与可持续发展目标 7、8、12 和 COP-28 目标保持一致的同时,对绿色做法做出不对称的政策反应,将优化阿尔及利亚的环境服务。
