Harmonising progress: assessing the impact of economic freedom, economic growth, urbanisation and environmental protection expenditures on load capacity in selected European Union countries
This study investigates the relationships between the load capacity factor and urbanization, environmental protection expenditures, economic freedom and economic growth in the European Union from 1996 to 2021. The main motivation is the need for sustainable policies that reduce environmental degradation while promoting economic development. The analysis is conducted with empirical methods such as common correlated effects and augmented mean group using panel data from 24 European Union Countries. The results show that urbanization increases load capacity and can support sustainable practices when well managed. The impact of spending on environmental protection varies across countries, improving environmental quality in some regions but being counterproductive in others. The relationship between economic freedom and growth is complex; economic growth increases environmental pressure, emphasizing the need for green technologies. This highlights the need for sustainable development..
期刊介绍:
ESEU is an international journal, focusing primarily on Europe, with a broad scope covering all aspects of environmental sciences, including the main topic regulation.
ESEU will discuss the entanglement between environmental sciences and regulation because, in recent years, there have been misunderstandings and even disagreement between stakeholders in these two areas. ESEU will help to improve the comprehension of issues between environmental sciences and regulation.
ESEU will be an outlet from the German-speaking (DACH) countries to Europe and an inlet from Europe to the DACH countries regarding environmental sciences and regulation.
Moreover, ESEU will facilitate the exchange of ideas and interaction between Europe and the DACH countries regarding environmental regulatory issues.
Although Europe is at the center of ESEU, the journal will not exclude the rest of the world, because regulatory issues pertaining to environmental sciences can be fully seen only from a global perspective.
