    Infant mortality rate and nonrenewable energy consumption in Asia and the Pacifc: the mediating role of carbon emissions
    (SPRINGER, VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 2023) Adeleye, Bosede Ngozi; Azam, Muhammad; Bekun, Festus Victor
    This study aligns with the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 which aims to “ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages”. It contributes to the nascent literature stream on energy-health dynamics by introducing a holistic theoretical model to empirically examine the mediation efect of carbon emissions on the relationship between nonrenewable energy and infant mortality rate. Using an unbalanced panel data on 42 Asia and the Pacifc countries from 2005 to 2015 and deploying the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach, the empirical results are surmised as follows: (i) for the full sample, nonrenewable energy indirectly increases infant mortality rate through increasing carbon emissions. In other words, carbon emissions play a partial mediation role between nonrenewable energy and infant mortality rate; and (ii) for the diferent income groups, carbon emissions show varying mediation efects. For example, the mediation efect of carbon emissions in lower-middle and upper-middle income countries are found to be similar to those of the full sample of countries. Therefore, based on these fndings, we conclude that nonrenewable energy is an essential determinant of infant mortality rate. Policy recommendations are put forward.

    Responding to the environmental efects of remittances and trade liberalization in net‑importing economies: the role of renewable energy in Sub‑Saharan Africa
    (SPRINGER, ONE NEW YORK PLAZA, SUITE 4600 , NEW YORK, NY 10004, UNITED STATES, 2022) Nwani, Chinazaekpere; Alola, Andrew Adewale; Omoke, Chimobi Philip; Adeleye, Bosede Ngozi; Bekun, Festus Victor
    Little is currently known about how policy choices that seek to bridge the gap between low production capacity and growing consumption demands in developing economies impact the environment. To address this research gap, a quantile-based model is used to examine the impact of three policy-relevant variables on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions: international remittance infows, trade liberalization, and renewable energy consumption. Territorial-based CO2 emissions are used to explain the environmental efects of the variables when emissions are calculated solely on the basis of domestic production capacity. To consider if trade-induced consumption demands provide a better measure for assessing the environmental efects of the variable, consumption-based CO2 emissions are used. The study focused on SubSaharan African countries with zero or net positive CO2 emissions from trade. The results show, among other things, that remittances and trade liberalization increase CO2 emissions irrespective of the accounting method. Trade, in particular, has a stronger efect through import-induced consumption activities. However, the efect is statistically insignifcant for the lower quantile countries and statistically signifcant for the middle and upper quantile countries. Harnessing the potential of renewable energy to reduce CO2 emissions should thus be a priority for policymakers in net-importing developing economies if production and consumption activities are to be created in less carbon-intensive ways.
