Abstract

Certain economists today contend that externalities and public goods are the leading causes of market failure, holding a significant level of relevance for green and environmental economics. These externalities can be categorised based on the impacts delivered to following channels or on the sectors responsible for causing that type of environmental effects. To understand the environmental impact in the era of development, the present study aims to investigate the empirical linkages among economic growth, human development, and environmental performance for the selected emerging nations over the period 2008-2016. The authors have employed dynamic panel modelling. To have a holistic overview, other macroeconomic and capital flow have been considered. The findings suggest the strong positive influence of economic growth variables on environmental performance, especially in selected emerging economies along with a contentious relationship between financial openness and environmental adversity. The results recommend crucial policy implications in the context of climate change.

分析环境绩效与人类福祉的关系：对选定新兴经济体的实证研究

今天，某些经济学家认为，外部性和公共产品是市场失灵的主要原因，与绿色和环境经济学有着重要的相关性。这些外部性可以根据对以下渠道的影响或对造成此类环境影响的部门进行分类。为了了解发展时代的环境影响，本研究旨在调查2008-2016年期间选定新兴国家的经济增长、人类发展和环境绩效之间的实证联系。作者采用了动态面板建模。为了全面了解情况，还考虑了其他宏观经济和资本流动。研究结果表明，经济增长变量对环境绩效有很大的积极影响，尤其是在选定的新兴经济体，金融开放性和环境逆境之间存在争议。研究结果提出了气候变化背景下的重要政策影响。

期刊介绍： IJGE, a peer-reviewed international journal, proposes and fosters discussion on all aspects of Green Economics. It contributes to international research and practice in Green Economics with the aim of encouraging economic change and the positioning of Green Economics at the centre of the Economics disciplines. Green Economic theories and policies, tools, instruments and metrics are developed with the aim of offering practical and theoretical solutions and proposals to facilitate a change to the current economic models for the benefit of the widest number of people and the planet as a whole. IJGE focuses particularly on resource management, on meeting peoples’ needs and the impact and effects of international trends and how to increase social justice.
