Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of environmental quality in China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and Indonesia (E-7 countries) using annual frequency data from 1990 to 2019. Feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) is used, while panel corrected standard error estimator (PCSE) is employed as a control estimator. The dependent variable representing the environmental quality indicator is greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Furthermore, the analysis includes following five variables that are assumed to determine environmental quality: (i) resource efficiency; (ii) renewable energy consumption (REC); (iii) growth; (iv) environmental technologies; and (v) energy efficiency. In the estimated model, GHG is used to represent environmental pollution. Conversely, the independent variables are mostly environmentally friendly variables. The results reveal that GDP, REC, and environmental technologies increase GHG emissions, while resource efficiency and energy efficiency have a positive effect on environmental quality. These findings suggest that, in shaping their environmental policies, E-7 countries consider economic growth, environmental protection, and sustainability. The study concludes with a discussion of further policy insights.

资源效率和环境创新如何影响温室气体排放？来自E-7国家的证据

本研究使用1990年至2019年的年度频率数据调查了中国、印度、俄罗斯、巴西、墨西哥、土耳其和印度尼西亚（E-7国家）的环境质量决定因素。采用可行广义最小二乘（FGLS），面板校正标准误差估计（PCSE）作为控制估计量。代表环境质量指标的因变量是温室气体排放（GHG）。此外，该分析还包括以下五个假定决定环境质量的变量：(i)资源效率；（ii）可再生能源消耗；(3)经济增长;环境技术；(v)能源效率。在估算模型中，使用温室气体来表示环境污染。相反，自变量大多是环境友好型变量。结果表明，GDP、REC和环境技术对温室气体排放有促进作用，而资源效率和能源效率对环境质量有正向影响。这些发现表明，在制定环境政策时，E-7国家考虑了经济增长、环境保护和可持续性。该研究最后讨论了进一步的政策见解。
