Abstract

Purpose The discourse on the governance and environment nexus has been an important research agenda. However, the debate on the role of institutional quality (IQ) in environmental degradation is continuous. Unlike others, this study aims to examine the asymmetric effect of IQ on the ecological footprint (EF) from 1984 to 2019 in Pakistan. Design/methodology/approach The nonlinear autoregressive distributive lag model is used to empirically investigate the linkage of IQ and EF. Findings Reported results revealed that positive shocks are negatively affecting EF and negative shocks are positively affecting EF. Findings suggest that a better IQ is substantially reducing EF, whereas energy consumption and economic growth are increasing EF. Originality/value This study is original and provided important information about the performance of institutions regarding the environmental concerns in Pakistan. Moreover, this study has robust policy implications.

制度质量的正负冲击是否会影响发展中经济体的生态足迹?

目的关于治理与环境关系的讨论一直是一个重要的研究议程。然而，关于制度质量在环境退化中的作用的争论仍在继续。与其他研究不同，本研究旨在研究1984年至2019年巴基斯坦智商对生态足迹的不对称影响。设计/方法论/方法非线性自回归分配滞后模型用于实证研究IQ和EF之间的联系。调查结果报告结果显示，正向冲击对EF产生负面影响，而负向冲击对EF具有正向影响。研究结果表明，智商越高，EF显著降低，而能源消耗和经济增长则会增加EF。原创性/价值本研究具有独创性，提供了有关巴基斯坦各机构在环境问题上表现的重要信息。此外，这项研究具有强有力的政策含义。
