ABSTRACT The literature has still remained silent on the importance of green foreign direct investments (GFDI) in promoting a sustainable marine economy. Hence, we empirically examine influence GFDI sustaining minerals by applying multiple econometric methods, including panel‐corrected standard error modeling (PCSE), feasible generalized least squares model (FGLS), and an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. Six different variables are utilized to assess sustainability blue economies European regions. These indicators include increase value at factor costs related crude natural gas petroleum extraction, support operations for gravel sand pit operation, kaolin clay extractive operations, salt other activities. Considering linear relationship, our estimates indicate that does not improve activities supporting exploitation. Therefore, consider nonlinear relationship among variables. findings once attains specific threshold, its functioning aggregate quarries or clays appears diverge. Our paper underscores significance policy suggestions promote minerals.
