The impact of digital inclusive finance on environmental pollution: A case study of air pollution

PLoS ONE, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 19(7), P. e0305963 - e0305963

Published: July 24, 2024

This study delves into the impact of digital inclusive finance on environmental pollution, with a specific focus air pollution. Utilizing data from 265 Chinese cities, advanced econometric methods such as bi-directional fixed effects model, threshold spatial Durbin and multi-period difference-in-differences model are employed, incorporating variety control variables. The empirical findings indicate that significantly reduces mechanism chiefly operates through enhancing public consciousness fostering green technological innovation. also uncovers spillover effect non-linear characteristics along its interactive policies (e.g., smart city pilot "major protection, no major development" initiative). Moreover, heterogeneity analysis reveals regional variations in finance. These insights provide novel perspective relationship between financial technology protection offer crucial guidance for policymaking.

Green trade, governance, finance, and energy efficiency: Shaping environmental landscape in global powerhouses

Journal of Environmental Management, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 385, P. 125674 - 125674

Published: May 10, 2025

As global environmental concerns intensify, identifying the key drivers of CO2 emissions (CO2e) becomes vital, particularly for high-energy-consuming nations. The present study delves into impacts green trade (GT), energy efficiency (EF), research and development (R&D), economic growth (EG), financial expansion (FE), population density (PD) on CO2e across top 20 energy-consuming countries from 2000 to 2022. We introduce three innovations: (i) a novel governance index (EGI), constructed using distance-based time-sensitive method, capturing progress under best- worst-case trajectories; (ii) GT as direct mitigation pathway, shifting focus aid-driven finance market-linked, credit-based investment; (iii) refined approach EF, highlighting reductions in carbon intensity per unit output. Using cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lags model, our findings highlight that EF consistently mitigate both short long run, while EG positively CO2e. R&D EGI effectively curb only whereas FE PD increase emissions. Notably, moderates these relationships-dampening adverse effects EG, FE, PD, amplifying mitigating impact GT, R&D. These results are further validated through common correlated mean group methodologies, reinforcing consistent influence factors offer targeted, institution-sensitive policy recommendations achieving sustainability.
