The objective of this paper is to reinvestigate the relationship between natural gas consumption and economic growth by including foreign direct investment, capital and trade openness in Malaysia for the period of 1971–2012. The structural break unit root test is employed to investigate the...

The stationary properties of natural gas consumption are essential for predicting the impacts of exogenous shocks on energy demand, which can help modeling the energy-growth nexus. Then, this paper proposes to investigate the panel unit root proprieties of natural gas energy consumption of 48...

Managing the work family conflict is essential to perform at work and home effectively. The individuals utilize lots of their efforts to ease the work family conflict (WFC). This research investigated the role of personal coping (PC) strategies and the social support (SS) an individual receives...

This paper investigates the impact of urbanization on energy consumption by applying the Stochastic Impacts by Regression on Population, Affluence and Technology (STIRPAT) in case of Malaysia. The study covers the time period of 1970Q1-2011Q4. The unit root test and the ARDL bounds testing...

This paper explores the relationship between financial development and energy consumption by incorporating economic growth, agriculture and modern sectors in Pakistan over the period of 1972-2011. The Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration, assuming...

This study investigates the energy–growth–trade nexus in Pakistan by using the annual time series data for the period of 1973–2013. Our main results show: (i) the presence of long-run link between energy consumption and trade performance; (ii) positive impact of gross domestic product,...

Results of previous studies on the correlation between exchange rate changes and trade balance are unpersuasive. The present endeavor tries to understand the direct ion of changes between trade balance and exchange rate and how the depreciation in exchange rate takes place by incorporating the...

This study explores a relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in Pakistan by incorporating financial development within the neoclassical production function. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach has been applied to data from 1972-2012. To...

A rise in real GDP crafts higher energy demand in Pakistan. This short-term rising energy requirement is fulfilled with the help of nonrenewable and renewable energy consumption. The rise in nonrenewable energy consumption lifts real GDP up in short-run. Forecast error variance decomposition...

This paper aims to investigate the non-linear relationship between foreign direct investment and environmental degradation using panel data of 110 developed and developing economies. Our results indicated that environmental Kuznets curve exists and foreign direct investment increases...
