Energy consumption brought about by economic growth has aggravated carbon emissions and climate change, and technological innovation is an important measure for energy conservation and emission reduction to mitigate climate change. Using the data of Asian and European countries from 1996 to...

An extended single-index model is considered when responses are missing at random.

The proposed estimator is shown to be asymptotically normal. An iterative...
