Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

  • Analysis of the environmental impact across key sectors in ASEANS top developing economies, a panel ARDL-PMG methodology   Order a copy of this article
    by Fan Fei, Ha Van Trung 
    Abstract: This study assesses the environmental sustainability of five ASEAN countries Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia - using annual data from 1990 to 2022. Employing the panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL-PMG) model, we examine the short and long-term impacts of key economic sectors - agriculture, fossil fuel energy use, tourism, and transportation - on the ecological footprint. Robustness is ensured through cointegration and Granger causality tests. The results reveal that, in the long run, agricultural production, fossil fuel consumption, tourism, and transportation significantly increase the ecological footprint at the 1% level. Notably, food exports and international tourism exert substantial environmental pressures. However, short-term effects vary across countries, with agricultural production and transportation showing insignificant impacts on CO2 emissions in some cases. Causality analysis confirms unidirectional relationships from agricultural development - particularly food exports and food production indices - to ecological degradation. These findings underscore the intricate links between economic growth and environmental sustainability and provide critical policy implications for advancing green development in Southeast Asia.
    Keywords: ASEAN countries; ecological footprint; EF; agricultural production; panel PMG-ARDL; ASEAN economics; ASEAN tourism.
