Abstract

In recent years, geopolitical risk has been on the rise and it has numerous economic consequences. Given that this paper aims to investigate the environmental and public health consequences of geopolitical risk. More specifically, we examine the effect of geopolitical risk on carbon emissions and their combined impact on public health risk. Using data from a sample of 17 countries spanning the period 1990–2018, and the generalized quantile regression and panel corrected standard errors methods, our study documents that geopolitical risk raises carbon emissions and these two together amplify public health risks in the selected sample countries. Our results are robust in alternative model specifications and hold after controlling for foreign direct investment inflows, financial development, internationalization of trade, per capita income, and total population. Given that, these findings offer important policy implications and add a new dimension to the empirical literature.

地缘政治风险会增加碳排放和公共健康风险吗？

近年来，地缘政治风险一直在上升，并产生了许多经济后果。鉴于本文旨在调查地缘政治风险对环境和公众健康的影响。更具体地说，我们研究了地缘政治风险对碳排放的影响及其对公共卫生风险的综合影响。利用1990年至2018年期间17个国家的样本数据，以及广义分位数回归和面板校正标准误差方法，我们的研究证明，地缘政治风险增加了碳排放，这两者共同放大了所选样本国家的公共卫生风险。我们的结果在替代模型规范中是稳健的，并且在控制了外国直接投资流入、金融发展、贸易国际化、人均收入和总人口之后是成立的。鉴于此，这些发现提供了重要的政策含义，并为实证文献增加了一个新的维度。
