Abstract

This study explores the moderating role of institutional quality on carbon emissions using data from a global panel regarding renewable energy consumption, foreign direct investment, economic growth and financial development between 2002 and 2019. Using the two-step system generalized method of moments, the results illustrate that in the panel data, renewable energy usage and foreign direct investment inflow enhance environmental quality, while financial development and economic growth lower it. The results show that many countries' quality institutions cannot yet adequately mitigate the harmful impact of each environmental factor and protect the environment; however, the institutional quality interaction term confirms the significant moderating effect of all explanatory variables on environmental quality in the panel data. The findings also confirm the existence of the environmental Kuznets curve and demonstrate the pollution halo hypothesis. The findings in this paper may be useful for policymakers when enacting stricter environmental regulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This paper evaluates if and to what extend the risk of becoming Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) has worsened during the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy. The analysis is based on a unique dataset from the merging of two sample surveys, the Italian Labor Force Survey and the Institutional Quality Index dataset. We find that the probability of being NEET significantly increased during the pandemic, but heterogeneously between age cohorts and geographical areas. The most affected categories have been young people (aged 25-34) and those living in North-West regions. Females are mostly affected compared to males, especially those experiencing motherhood and living in a Southern province. Investment in education reduces the NEET status, mainly for age-group 25-34 in the South. Participation in the civil society significantly reduces the probability to being NEET. Finally, active policies conducted at regional level are a further educational investment that protect from becoming NEET, although their effectiveness is not significant in the Southern regions. We provide novel evidence to inform policymakers and help building evidence-based policies, tailored on local needs.
