Do environmental regulations and technological innovation enhance environmental well‐being in sub‐Saharan Africa?
研究了撒哈拉以南非洲32个国家2000-2022年的数据，发现更强的环境规制和技术创新能提升环境福祉，且规制会促进环保创新，两者关系动态非线性。
Abstract We investigate the regulation–technology–environment nexus in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), one of the world's most rapidly growing regions. Using a comprehensive panel dataset consisting of 32 countries from 2000 to 2022, we find that stronger environmental regulations and technological innovation enhance environmental well‐being. Moreover, we identify that stronger environmental regulations positively affect pro‐environment innovation. Finally, we present clear evidence for a dynamic and nonlinear regulation–technology–environment relationship, ruling out one‐size‐fits‐all policy approaches to environmental well‐being. Our results remain robust to different estimators, measurements, and sample selections.
