The Relationship Between Health Expenditure, CO2 Emissions, and Economic Growth in G7: Evidence from Heterogeneous Panel Data

Journal of the Knowledge Economy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(1), P. 4886 - 4911

Published: April 4, 2023

Abstract Τhe current paper examines the relationship between per capita health care expenditures, CO 2 emissions, and gross domestic product (GDP) in G7 countries. At beginning, we examine cross-sectional dependence slope homogeneity Then, second-generation unit root test is applied using Pesaran, CIPS (2007) test, while for cointegration Westerlund (Oxford Bulletin of Economics Statistics 69(6):709-748, 2007) was applied. The long -run panel coefficients were analyzed with augmented mean group (AMG) estimators, which allow heterogeneity. Finally, by Dumitrescu Hurlin (Economic Modelling 29(4):1450-1460, 2012) used order to check causality taking into account heterogeneity on data. preliminary analyses show that variables are cross-sectional-dependant heterogenous first-order stationary. Cointegration allows there a stable long-run variables. Moreover, estimated AMG approach found be statistically significant positive GDP capita, negative case greenhouse gas emissions capita. revealed unilateral from towards expenditure all

Abstract Background Food insecurity and environmental degradation pose significant threats to health outcomes in South Asia, necessitating effective policy interventions. Therefore, this study aims examine the impact of food on outcome indicators amidst global inflationary shocks institutional quality arrangements. Additionally, it explore intricate moderating role relationship between insecurity, endogenous variables, external shocks. Method In alignment with study’s objectives, a set panel data spanning from 2000 2021 is compiled for Asia. The introduces novel variable representing shock, crafted through integration inflation datapoints application generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model. distinctive aggregate index formulated, drawing six key measures Worldwide Governance indicators.

Mitigating climate change impacts on health: a comparative analysis of strategies in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon

Frontiers in Public Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: April 28, 2025

Introduction Human activities are now adding rapidly more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere causing global warming which is one aspect of climate change, greatest threat public health. Therefore, this study aims compare health impacts change on Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, assessing their adaptation strategies in addressing challenges. Methodology This a descriptive Comparative Analysis, was performed by analyzing available data climate-related outcomes: food insecurity, emergence infectious disease car accidents comparing trends percentages between two countries. Results discussion Lebanon has markable high CO 2 emission, negatively affect people such as Food insecurity (in KSA: The estimated loss over periods all crops ranges from 7 25%, Lebanon: There decreased growth coveted crops, increased weeds pests), Road traffic (approximately 1.3 million die result road 20–50 suffer other injuries.), Emergence diseases an increase 1°C temperature caused significant (15–25%) malaria incidence, risk food- borne diseases, vulnerability rise food-borne vector-borne diseases.). Forecasting future for both countries reveal definite occurring. Further actions could be implemented overcome negative outcomes according each country. Agriculture Security, Use renewable energy, Awareness Campaigns measures that face change. Interestingly, there some organizations funding initiatives raising awareness Conclusion Numerous sectors impacted serious issue requires immediate action. It substantial influence many different leads instability, agricultural issues, transmission, accidents. These elements require particular care, appropriate action should done eliminate them.

Within this context, study intended examine impact recent innovations, logistical measures, Information Communication Technology (ICT) diffusion, environmental improvements, economic growth, green (renewable) energy exploitation on health well-being, in Arabia from 1990 2022, by implementing machine learning models (random forest gradient boosting) regression algorithms (ridge lasso). Overall, findings indicate strong digital connectivity spending internet users, with scores 0.673 0.86. Further, growth also influences costs but lesser extent, 0.145 0.082. Mobile user penetration CO₂ emissions have moderate low importance, suggesting nuanced interactions expenditure. Patent applications logistics show minimal impact, indicating limited direct influence within study. Similarly, share renewable is negligible, reflecting its analyzed data. Finally, analyses using ridge lasso confirmed similar trends, further validating these findings. Limitations several policy implications debated.</p>
