Abstract Energy consumption is a crucial driver for economic development, improving the quality of life population country. This study attempts to contribute discussion by employing systemic approach and methodology examine relationship between energy (EC), gross domestic product (GDP) carbon dioxide emissions (CO 2 ) in Ecuador using time series from 1990 2018 with mixed (quantitative qualitative). The balance enlarged Kaya identity are utilised quantify environmental impact human activities. Furthermore, correlational cointegration Granger causality tests used analyse long-term short-term relationships variables different sectors. results reveal that there no agriculture transport sectors, but unidirectional industry services In sector, finds EC causes GDP (Wald test p value = 0.0038) CO 0.0433). 0.0075), 0.0122), reinforcing loop both analysed help inform policymakers about likely interventions. addition, shows initial phase Environmental Kuznets Curve, provides strategies manage sectoral valuable insights other developing countries Latin America seeking pursue sustainable development.

Abstract This study investigates the complex interplay between financial and economic development within Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) countries—Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea—from 2000 to 2022, with a focus on impacts of natural resource rents energy efficiency. Employing moment quantile regression address non‐normal data distribution identified by Jarque–Bera (JB) test, we unveil diverse slopes cross‐sectional interdependencies, necessitating nuanced examination. Panel unit root tests confirm non‐stationarity, enabling thorough investigation. Our findings reveal long‐term cointegration relationship rents, efficiency, development, foreign direct investment (FDI), providing holistic understanding their dynamics. Notably, our analysis exposes trade‐off abundance growth, as evidenced negative coefficients for while positive FDI counterbalance this effect, fostering conducive environment. Additionally, examination location scale characteristics unveils vulnerabilities associated resources alongside stability indicators linked FDI. By employing regression, sheds light resources, offering valuable insights policymakers researchers in navigating sustainable RCEP framework.
