This paper investigates the distributional consequences of international remittances using a panel data set from sixty five developing economies from 1970 to 2015. It focuses on complementarity between financial development and remittances in determining the inequality-impact of remittances...

The purpose of this study is to analytically explore and empirically test the relationship of state capacity with health outcomes using cross sectional and panel datasets of 156 countries from 1970 to 2015. This study uses three dimensions of state capacity namely amount, ability and position....

This study contributes to the happiness-environment nexus by introducing the novel measures of environmental degradation such as species protection, marine protected areas and water quality unlike previous literature that mainly emphasized the importance of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) in...

This study examines the link between environmental indicators and output volatility unlike the previous literature that mainly emphasized the importance of carbon emissions and economic growth nexus. Output uncertainty is considered a serious global issue as it undermines economic gains and...

Climate change has emerged as a global challenge because of its threat to sustainable development goals. Economic development is responsible for climate change as well as it is complementary to sustainability. Hence, environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis is central to the development...

Climate change and changing climatic patterns are posing a threat to the sustainability of life on earth. Climate change is attributed to the accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)in the atmosphere representing environmental degradation. This study explores the links of renewable energy,...
