Item Does economic inequality have a mitigating effect on carbon inequality? The role of economic development in emerging market economies(International Journal of Sustainable Economy, 2026-01-13) Patel, Gupteswar; Samal, RajashreeThe study investigates the relationship between economic inequality and carbon inequality within emerging economies. The augmented mean group (AMG) approach has been employed to analyse how variations in income distribution contribute to disparities in carbon emissions in 22 emerging economies from 1990 to 2019. Further the study has focused on the impacts of economic growth, urbanisation, and natural resources rent. The findings show that economic inequality worsens carbon disparity, revealing the complex relationship between economic and environmental issues. Further results show that economic expansion, urbanisation, and natural resource rent increase carbon disparity. The feasible generalised least squares (FGLS) estimate approach confirms these findings' robustness. Our research emphasises the importance of addressing income inequality to promote equitable and sustainable development.Item Asymmetry Effects of International Trade Components on Environmental Quality in BRICS Economies(Circular Economy and Sustainability., 2024-01-17) Patel, Gupteswar; Mahalik, Mantu Kumar; Mallick, HrushikeshThe evolutions of liberalization and globalization of economies have given rise to greater concern over climate change and economic development in the recent circular economy context. The composition of international trade for an individual country changes over a period of time [14, 15]. Against this backdrop, the purpose of this study is to examine the segregated impacts of traditional and modern components of trade (exports and imports) on environmental degradation in BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) countries in an extended IPAT framework. The environmental degradation model controls for population growth, economic growth, and, technology. Using a balanced panel data structure from 1996–2018 with panel regression techniques (viz. PMG-ARDL and FGLS), this study finds that modern exports and imports, and technological advancement improve environmental quality, while traditional exports and imports along with population growth and economic growth degrade it. Our study concludes that traditional trade components degrade environmental quality while modern trade components improve it. This finding has crucial policy implications for both international trade and environmental sustainability domains of BRICS economies.
